TRACKAGE AGREED UPON.
New Union Station Not to Be Opened
Until 1t Is ompleted-Public Cele
bration Not Favored.

A letter from President f. G. Smith
of the Central Vermont Railway com
pany to a Brattleboro man, in re-
spouse to AN inquiry about plans for
opening the new union station and
about public observance of the event,
reads as follows:
The Boston 4 Maine and Central
Vermont found that it would be neces
sary to extend the platforms level with
the tracks at BrattleborO, and to make
number of further changes in the
track connections, so as to better ac-
commodate the traffic in the yard be,
fore the station is opened. Plans to
accomplish this result have been agreed
upon and the work is in progress. just
how long it will take to complete this
work is a question, but it will be
pushed as rapidly as possible, and
will be glad to keep you advised of
its progress.
AS to your suggestion for some public
celebration upon opening the station
! will take the matter up with Mr.
llustis, but personally feel it is un
necessary. | am sure / speak for the
Boston 4 Maine as well as the Cen
trail Vermont, in saying we shall b,
well content TO feel that the work il
completed and the people of Brattle
boro are pleased with the result.
similar suggestion was made at thu
time the new station at Burlington wa
opened, but on reflection all partie
agreed that any demonstration was un
advisable.
| trust this will meet with the aI
prevail of yourself and the people o
Brattleboro.
Very truly yours,
F.. G. SMITH, President.
1t is understood that the matter o
further changes in the track connec
tions, referred to by President Smitl
was the real obstacle in the way of a
early opening of the stations

Ignored Long Enough.

Two Vermont newspapers, in clip
pings published on this page, call for
the adoption by Vermont of direct in
heritance tax. The subject is timely
and ought to receive serious attention.
Such a proper source of needed state
revenue should not longer be ignored.
In this connection it is worth noting
that the Republican state platform of
1912, on which Mr.. Allen M. Fletcher
was elected governor, favored a gradu-
ated direct inheritance tax, a pledge
that was honored in the breach, and
that without any warning word from
the executive, that we recall.

FORMOTHER'SSAKE
BY VICTOR REDCLIFFE.

John Blair. head of the great prod
uce house of Blair & Co., stared in
blank wonder as he slowly repeated
the strange words his old trusted Of
flee manager had just spoken
You wish to rent the house | am
going to close up during my sixty
days vacation?''
If it is possible to do so, yes, Mr..
Blair" came the prompt reply from
Robert Dunn.
DO you know what that would cost
you? Why, the servants included, it
would cost you five hundred dollars a
MONTH"
Il will give you a check for thou
sand dollars. sir, in advance"
Mr. Blair stared harder than ever at
his employee.
Are you entirely in your senses,
DUMB" he demanded sharply.
Entirely So" came the reply in
even decided tones. Il have an object,
sir-an object most dear to my heart.
My aged father and mother are com.
ing to visit me. There is one glad
sweetness in their life-my presumed
success. They live two thousand miles
from here. For the first and the last
time they are coming East to witness
THE high position their only son has
reached. 1t would spoil their lives if
l disappointed their fond belief in my
riches and business position. No, no.

Il have been doing no boasting. An
old neighbor, passing through the
city here, mixed me up with the Mr.

house across the way. He carried the
news of my grandeur back to the
humble little village where my parents
live. The local papers glorified me in
a bombastic way. | got letter from

BASED ON LOVING KINDNESS
Writer'S Opinion as to Why the Book
of Ruth Is the Greatest Pas
toral ldyl.

The Book Of Ruth is the greatest
pastoral idyl in literature. 1t is found.
ed, according to the Christian Herald,
on loving kindness, the loving kind
ness of the Moabitess revealed to her
family, and the loving kindness of
Boaz. the wealthy Israelite, to Ruth,
his kinswoman. It also contains the
germ of that observation-disclosures which
is the center of the Gospel of Chris
tian love.
1t is book that opens with tears
and famine, and ends with the sound
Of wedding bells. The story turns
upon the straightforwardness of Boaz,
who showed kindness and manliness
to Ruth, a member of a nation that
was 1sraels foe, and in that kindness
founded new house of Jesse and
David, the royal line that begat a
greater than David 1t was the first
mingling of the blood of the Jew and
Gentle, symbolic of the cosmopolitan
width of the Christian religion. It
was the sign that that religion was
not to be founded upon wealth or up.
on social caste, but upon the large,
wholesome love of the human heart.
Boaz is immortal among Bible
heroes for his kindness, his plain, ev.
eryday generosity, his sense of pro.
lection and care for the lonely. IN.
protected Moabitish girl, his dead kins.
man wife, who in her poverty CLEANED
IN his harvest field after the reapers
5oaz gave orders to his reapers that
they should allow her to CLEAN even
among the sheaves of barley, and by
his large-heartedness gained a wife
and, more than that, made a place for
himself IN that immortal company who
are renowned for naught but for be.
ing kind.

1t was a grand triumphal march for
the aged father and mother from the
hour they arrived in the city. What
to Robert was the old-fashioned quaint
ness of the bonnet his mother wore!
What the plain homespun suit OF his
sire-both feeling that their best"
was indeed, company best, the very
best!
An automobile with a chauffeur in
livery met them at the train. The
beautiful mansion welcomed them with
brilliant lights The old people went
into ecstasies over their luxurious en-
vironment Nearly every evening for
five weeks the devoted son took them
to the opera and other amusement
functions. The well-trained servants
never betrayed the scheme in play

proud of the grandest son in the world,

ries that would gild their last years
unfailingly.
And the aftermath? Virtue reward.
ed? Always! 1t was the day Of his
return that Mr.. Blair called Robert
into his Office.
Dunn" he said in his usual quick
business tones. you've carried out
this precious scheme of yours and I'm
glad Of it. I've got full report of it,
and I've been thinking that it will
make my lonely old life the sweeter
to show my appreciation of your ster-
ling worth. You shall take a sixty
days vacation now"
But, sir"
"And make 1t a honeymoon with
that sweet, patient Miss Wilson. Go
and see the old folks Keep up the
rich-man act, and here is check for
five thousand dollars to help the good
work along"
