The election of delegates from Yer
mont to the Republican national con
vention took place in the newspapers.
The first seven men chosen had been
generally supported by the press of
the state, and they were elected with
out opposition. The only contest was
between G. Z. Moody of Waterbury
and Hugh !. NJ. Jones of Montpelier.
Moody was the winner on tle second
ballot. He is a man who has been con
spicuous in the public service, while
Mr.. Jones is not widely known in the

1t is good news to all New England
TO know that the Boston 6 Maine
railroad is coming back. The stock has
climbed up to 81, an advance of 1872
points from the low mark of the year.
1t is probable that the road will show
seven per cent earned on the common
stock during the year which closes
June 80, in spite Of tle heavy burden
Of interest charges and extraordinary

THE USE WIFE
Howard liam

The housewife is a patient, muscular
woman who would rather do her own
work than put up with the eecentrici-
ties of the human butterfly known as
the hired girl. Owing to the rapid age
in which we are living, some hired
girls are more eccentric than others
and insist upon slampooing their hair
or laying the foundation for a new
dance frock on wash day, thus com
pelhng the housewife to perform a
week 5 work in four hours, besides
feeding large, voracious family.
Housewives are born, not made.
The chief qualification of good house
wife is a willingness to work overtime
and if necessary world without end
In this respect the hired girl has de
/ cided advantage over her employer
No hired girl can be signed up nova
days without a clause in tle contract
which permits her to dress up in cream
| taffeta at two o'clock in the after
noon and stroll on the avenue until
/ $50. Another clause specifies that any
/ and all work, of whatsoever kind and
character, remaining unfinished at the
aforesaid hour of two O O'Clock, shall
! be performed without grumbling by
the housewife, under penalty of being

or DIue and the Clouds came dancing
along to the party in fine array-which
means fine feathers or fine clothes.
You know how sometimes you've
seen the Clouds go so quickly along
you've wondered where they were
bound for. Well, usually when they're
hurrying like that, on a cool day when
the Sky is very deep blue, more
than likely they are on their way to
a Dance on the Mountain Peak which
the Fairies are giving.
But this afternoon the Fairies had a
special treat for the Clouds In the
first place the Mountain Peak wore
his very finest blue cap which he only
wears on very important occasions.
And in the second place the Fairies
did their Mountain Dance
They flew from one little peak to
another and then they flew about in
groups, carrying with them garlands
Of beautiful honeysuckle and ivy
vines.
The Clouds were delighted and be.
gan tearing about in glee. Then Mr..
Sun was so excited that he came over
to see the Fairies Dance too And he
went behind one of the Clouds so that
the Earth People said it was surely
going to Rain.
And of course Mr. Wind flew about
having the gayest sort of a time. And
too, he was pleased for he had won
| the dispute with Mr.. Sun. Now it GER
tainly was very cool day for the
Earth People when Mr.. Sun was so
| lazy and had to watch parties! But
| Mr.. Sun didn't care.
las for the Clouds and the little
Fairies they had the jolliest, best sort
| of time, and just before it was time
| for the Clouds to leave, all the little
| Gnomes who lived in the Mountain
| Peak came out and did their tricks
One very fat Gnome did trick
which he called turning somer-
| saults-"
THAT isn't such wonderful trick
Nick burst out.
But it was funny trick for him
to do as he turned all his somersaults
sideways-a they looked more like
a trick of rolling over and over than
! somersaults. But it gave the party
a very jolly ending"

EVENING
TALE s.
ON TOP OF MOUNTAIN PEAK.
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER

L haven't told you yet about the
Dance the Fairies gave at the top of
Mountain Peak for their friends the
Clouds" said Daddy.
The Fairies had had such a good
time at the Dance the Clouds had
given that they wanted to make theirs
a huge success, too.
1T was cool day, and Mr.. Sun was
shining hard while Mr.. Wind was hav-
ing an argument with him as to wheth-
er 1t was warm day or not.
Mr.. Sun said it was nice and
warm, for he was working hard and
seeing that everyone was warm. Then
Mr.. Wind said it was a fine cold day
for ne was blowing hard They al
most had a quarrel about it, and then
they overheard some Grown-Up say:
It's warm in the Sun today. but
otherwise it's really quite cold for the
Wind has sharpness to it.. So that
| settled the dispute for then they both
| knew they were right
We'll, it was just the sort of a day
the Fairies wanted for their Dance

party of TIE second part. This contract
cannot be broken except by giving
thirty minutes notice
The housewife mas a pleasant round
of duties, and is allowed to secure
quite a little sleep. Her work is varied
in its nature, for she has three meals
to get each day and if any two of them
are alike she Will be greeted by a loud
masculine wall. Every once in a while
there are minor, trifing duties to en-
gage the swift-passing hours; such as
nouse-cleaning, busting, sweeping, and
seeing that everybody in the house
who has not hidden under bed gets
a bath. When the housewife winds up
the week s work, she is permitted to
90 to church Sunday morning, after
dressing one set of twins and three
solo offspring, cleaning two fuzzy
| chickens, baking bread, making a
fruit salad and connecting two apple
pies. Ministers who are inclined to OBJ
| iect when the housewife is late to
| church should take a week off and
watch her as she pursues her daily or
| bit.
There are plenty of wives, but house
wives are scarce and dear. and the man
who possesses one will never know
what he has lost until he tries the
! other kind.

There is one point at least in which
the German penchant for organization
has broken down. The distribution of
food to the populace of the father
land has been signal failure The
supply of food is said to be sufficient
with careful administration for all
needs of people and army. Yet prices
have risen almost to a prohibitive
scale, while meat and other articles of
diet have sometimes been unobtaina-
BILE at any price. Great dissatisfaction,
leading in some cases to bread riots,
have been the result of the imperfect
conservation and release of food re-
sources of the empire. This has been
due in part to the retention of CON
troi by the several states Recognizing
the mistakes of the past Emperor Will
liam has now appointed a food dicta-
tor with powers limited only by tle
demands of the army staff. New hope
is felt throughout the beleaguered en-
pire because of the revised plan and
widespread confidence in the ability
! of Tortilowtz Won Batocki as presi-
dent of the war food department to
improve what it at best precarious
condition.

after toying with real progress in the
way of changing tle discipline which
forbids members of the church from
indulging in card playing, dancing or

years. There was one significant thing

spring, every boat operated by power

whether it is kept for hire or used for

row boats equipped with detachable
gasoline motors The registration fee
