ut may seem very Funny to think
of any Creature Saying, I shall be so
Glad when I'm Old and then / won't

Eagle Said the other Day.
He was Young Eagle-only two
years Old and he was having his Birth
day Party. His Mother had a fine
White Head and Tail and the Young
Eagle was looking forward to the Day
when he'd have one too. He did so
Hate to be Bald. 1t seemed so Young
and Childish-and he wanted to ap-

you many Happy Returns of the Day,
but not of this very Day, OF course.
For when next we come to your Birth
day Party we hope to see you with a
Fine White Head Dress and Tail
THE Eagle had Promised he would
not be Bald on the next Birthday, and
he was Perfectly Safe in Promising
that. For when the Eagle is three
years old he loses his Bald Head.
1T does seem very queer though to
think of the Eagle Longing to Grow
Old so he won't be Bald--for usually
we think of Old, Old People, or very.
very Tiny Babies as the only People
with Bald Heads.
We'll, not long after all the Guests
had left, Young Edgar Eagle came to
Call.

Take Care of the Boys.

parents to shield their girls from evil,
to keep them from the sight and sound

The Budget.
{ Rutland Herald.

The estimates for the coming bien-
mum are based so closely on the actual
expenditures for the past two years that
there can be little ground for criticism,
at least for the action of the budget
committee i'll reporting a necessary cx-
penditure of over S4,721,0 900, as ex-
clusively told in yesterday s Herald
The figures of the state auditor,
showing the expenditures for the bien-
NAL period ending June 30, 1916, to-
tailed $4,513,753, so there is an estimat-
ed increase of about $4,000 which
may or may not be required by the
Legislative appropriations.
Very evidently we are headed for
further increases, unless there is a halt
called, pretty sharply, in further ex-
tension of state activities. In fact, The
Herald is firmly convinced that the cost
Of state government can he kept well
within $4,000,000, if the usual business
methods of a successful corporation were
followed.
\ four-million-dollar budget means a
state tax of eight or ten cents If it
touches five millions, the state tax will
be higher, and every town will feel it,
even if it falls lightly on the taxpayer,
because the state has exhausted its re-
sources of indirect taxation. There is
nothing more to tax.
1t will give the legislators mighty
sober feeling to realize that the actual
upset, recorded figures of the cost of
state government run over four mil
lions and one-half, and, if they realize
that further state extensions come right
/ home to them, they ought to 90 pretty

DRUNKs ON THE CARS.

IT will he interesting to observe the
effect Of the recent edicts of the Bos
ton & Maine and Boston Elevated rail
roads, that persons under the influence
Of liquor shall hereafter be excluded
from the ears of those roads. The Man
chester Union is of the opinion that the
principle of the thing is bound to
appeal to every decent citizen. and
something of the kind ought to have
been done long ago. Sober and or
DERBY patrons of the railroads have
been subjected all too long to the an
Hoyance of intoxicated passengers.
Women, no less than men, have been
obliged 10 submit. The nuisance has
persisted despite occasional protests,
and custom has led many to assume
that there was no effectual remedy.
To unprotected women, travelling late
at night, the situation has been espe-
cially trying. I'm evident disposition
on the part Of railroads to eliminate
this sort Of thing is altogether welcome.
Yet the program is not without its
potential complications. The old qucs-
tioH, "wheu is drunk is bound to
present itself. The line must be drawn
between the person who is sober and
the person who is drunk. Police courts
the country over have been wrestling
. with this question for wears and are
still wrestling with it. The line of de
narration between state of intoxica-
tion and "A state of sobriety remains
more or less obscure. How shall the ear
conductors draw it? So far as has
vet appeared, the edict of the railroads
makes no distinction between an OBJ
uoxious drunk and a drunk who is not
so obnoxious. 1t applies, like blanket
indictment, to all DRINKS, if one can
distinguish these at first sight--or smell.
There 5 the rub.
Anyway, the theory of the edict is
right. Let it be hoped that it will
work out successfully and eflectuallv
in practice, and that it will he en-

owns already l,Sl455O acres of forests
and lakes; and 81, 500,O 900 for the high

vate subscription of a like sum had al

passage of this proposition of the refer

able altogether $4,000, geo for the com

This splendid example set bv a
wealthy state will undoubtedly have a
valuable influence on other eastern
states. The fourteen thousand acres
which the Vermont forestry department
has acquired is a good start in the right
direction, but it is only drop in the
bucket compared to the 100000 acres
of woodland in the state. large part
of which is in large mountain tracts,
suitable for state ownership.
