IN PRACTICE So YEARS.
Remarkable Record of Gilbert A. Da
Wis of Windsor.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION., Feb.
26.-Gilbert 4. Davis Of Windsor, who
is 81, claims to have been in longest
continuous practice Of any lawyer in
Vermont. 1t is 50 years since Mr.. Da-
Wis was admitted to the bar and he
has been in active practice ever since
Tx Gov. Samuel +. Pingree Of this
town, who is 81, was admitted at the
same time, but he has not been i'll con
tinuous practice as long as Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Davis was born in Chester, a son
of Asa and Mary (Homer) Davis. He
attended Chester academy and when 10
he began teaching. In 1852 he moved
to New Jersey, where he continued
teaching for four years. He studied
law with j. G. Shipman Of Belvidere,
n. j. Returning to Vermont he con
tinued the study Of law in the Office
of William Rounds of Chester and
later with Messrs. Washburn and
Marsh Of Woodstock.
In 1860 he removed to- Reading

Optimist and Pessimist.

i'm Jones is an optimist, and Sam
Smith Of the same town is a pessimist.
When it rains Sam Smith complains
that it is going to be muddy; but Jim
Jones, wreathed in smiles, says that
rain is mighty good thing to lay the
dust. When the sun shines again Sam
kicks about the dust; but jim, still
smiling, sees that sunshine dries up the
mud. Sam complains that business is
not half as good as il was when it was
twice as good as it is; Jim congratu-
latcs himself that business is twice as
good as it was when it was only hale
as good as it is.
These two men, living in the same
town and under the same natural con-
ditions, see things oppositelv, and the
one is always miserable. The differ
.ence lies back Of their eyes, not III
front of them.
The pessimist goes about with lam
tern, peering into the dark places, look
ing for meanness aud things to find
fault about. The optimist goes about
in the bright sunshine, looking for the
beautiful things, and finding lots Of
them.
The pessimist not only warps his
mind but his physique as well, and
ms influence on others is decidedly de-
pressing. The optimist rises in the
morning with gladness in his heart,
sunshine III his face, and smiles upon
his lips. The mere privilege of living
/ is priceless JOY to him.

As food commissioner Of the state of New
York, John J. Dillon proposes three reasons as
the cause Of the high price Of food. First, the
indifference Of the welLto-do to the situation.
Men, he says, who can initiate economic reforms
are too greatly concerned In other ways to devote
attention TO the incidental Of food cost Second,
improper care and packing Of farm produce for
marketing. and third, inefficient and extravagant
methods Of marketing. Food goes through too
many hands between the producer and consumer,
each taking bit Of profit and all together enor-
mously increasing the cost to the consumer with
out giving the producer share. To remedy this,
Mr.. Dillon proposes that the state establish cen
trail stations at shipping points. to which the farm
ers may bring their produce, there to be properly
graded and packed by experts and shipped to the
city, where it will be delivered at central mar
kct and disposed OF to retailers without the in
PREVENTION of chain of commission men, each
bent on his own interest. This system will do
away with waste incident to improper handling,
will avoid delay in delivery and will greatly lessen
the cost by eliminating unnecessary middlemeit
But Mr.. Dillon doesn't expect his plan to be
adopted without much opposition on part of those
interested in maintaining the status quo His
summing up is the result OF years Of experience,
and his pessimism as TO the result is from the
same source. The high cost Of living will be
with us until better way of getting foodstuffs
from the fields to the homes of the city jewellers
is adopted

upon us.
The gold movement for the last year is dis
quoting, when we remember that gold is the
underpinning of all paper money and that En-
ropes ability to pay its bills is necessary to the
financial stability of America. We are normally
