One of the greatest problems OF
every newspaper is space grating.
Hundreds of concerns and individuals,
to say nothing Of the federal govern
ment, try to work the newspapers for
space that is not to be paid for. Fortu-
natelv, there is more and more ten
dency Of publishers TO realize that
newspaper space is a commodity and
that it is valued at a certain price,
which the card of rates reveals as tru-
~ as the price tag on merchandise.
There is, however, such thing as
grating on the part of a newspaper
when it takes advantage of peculiar
conditions, where no questions about
advertising have been asked, and where
the bill made out bears no relation to
the paper s announced rates. Some
thing Of this kind occurred last sum
mer, when thousands of dollars were
spent for political advertising in this
state by the candidates for the United
| states scnatorship. The fixing Of the
price was left wholly with the publish
crs and it should be stated to their
credit that only three charged any
thing like rate which the advertisers
considered excessive. One of the papers
which valued its space very highly on
/ this particular occasion is now in the
newspaper cemetery, another is never
| represented in the meetings of the
Vermont Press association, and the third
had ne member present to discuss po
litical advertising in the recent Press
association meeting held in Barre.

The Importance attached to the Mo-
hawk Trail by the people Of Massa-
chusetts is evidenced by the introduc
tion in the Bay state legislature of a
bill to convert the TERRITORY adjoining
the celebrated highway into public
reserve. An appropriation of 100000
/. attached to the proposed measure
and both the bill itself and the APP
preparation are said to meet the approx
al Of the present governor Of the
state. The traffic that has passed over
the Mohawk Trail since the road was
opened to the public is sufficient evi
deucc that the scenic beauties of the
route across the Iloosac mountains
have STRONGLY appealed to the automo-
bile tourists who visit this section Of
New England, but not a few who have
made botha trips more than once are
inclined TO the opinion that there are
views on the journey between this vii
lage and Brattleboro that are in many
ways superior to anything seen on the
Mohawk Trail. The topography of the
country in Bennington and Windham
counties differs materially, although
separated from the Berkshire Hills by
only few miles Either the mountains
in Vermont were originally more
heavily timhcred or they have not been
SO thoroughly depleted by numbering
and the views that may be obtained
from two OF the heights are more pleas
ing in that they show less evidence OF
the devastation wrought by man. II
the Bennington Brattlcboro route to-
da.- possessed anything like the road
surface and the uniformity of grade OF
the Mohawk Trail it would be given
similar estimate in the opinion OF
tourist automobiliSts 1t is not to be
expected that its Improvements can be
attempted on any such scale as has
been carried out in the building of the
Mohawk Trail. but so long as the high
way remains in its present condition
the tourists and the state at large are
losing something worth while.

wore and they saw them blaze and
lame while the queer sounds seemed
TO grow fewer.
They're eating their banquet now,"
said Daddy. The Fire Fairy Cooks
have finished everything and now they
are enjoying the goodies"
But soon the flames began to die
down and only few little flashes of
light and fire were seen from time to
time
'Those flashes and fames,' said
Daddy "are some of the Fire Fairies
who are still wide awake enough to
ask the Witches questions For now
the Witches are telling bedtime tales
and soon the Fairies will be sound
sound asleep They love to be put 10
sleep by the Fire Witches"
The flames died down entirely and
only a little smouldering went on in
the Fireplace.
The Witches are saying good
night" said Daddy. "Then they too
will go to bed But the ashes that
will be left-the nice warm ashes
they will be the pleasant dreams that
are left behind for the Fire Fairies"
The fire had gone out! Only some
ashes could be seen, but in one corner
few red Goals had appeared.
What are they?" asked the Chill
dren.
They're the King and Queen of the
Fireplace and they've come to see that
their People are all fast asleep. Then
they will go to sleep but they will first
whisper a 'Thank-you' to the Witches
who tell the marvellous stories" And
just as Daddy said that, the Children
heard q faint, cracking noise and
then they knew that every creature Of
the Fireplace had gone to sleep in
their warm ashes of pleasant dreams.

j O III T FITCH

One hundred and seventy-four years
ago yesterday john Fitch, who built
the first steamboat that nayigated
American waters. was born. The fact
of Mr.. Fitch S birth was concealed
from him for several years otherwise
he would have offered 4 violent protest,
as his life WAS full of misery ana caus-
tie dunning letters and he died a damp
and unpleasant death as a result Of
trying to drink Kentucky distillery
to complete standstill.
Fitch was born in Connecticut, but
at the age of seventeen ran away from
home to escape persecution and shipped
before the mast. Here he ran into a
brand OF persecution which stamped
itself upon his mind and cuticle with
great distinetness, and he soon retired
from tho sea in order to allow the
aforesaid cuticle to recupeTate. MiSfor-
tune pursued him, however, for he mar
ried a lady with a temper which could
soar TO an altitude o. $4,000 feet with
ont rctarding her tongue action. After

= According to the news reports from
Montpelier the proposed revision of
the statutes has been referred to a
joint committee composed of the judi
ciarv committees of the house and
senate. This is apparently in line with
the plan Of the Vermont Bar associa-
tion to take charge Of the government
of the state. II certain statements
made are true this is not exactly like
previous revisions of the statutes,
but is an attempt by former Lieutenant
Governor Darling to correct lot
of detail in the statutes that seems to
him wrong or imperfect. In some
respects he is credited with making
radical changes. For this reason the
proposed revision should be gone over
carefully by the legislative com
mittees, but as the statutes affect all
the people and all the interests of the
state it is not entirely wise to send it
to committee made up so largely Of
one profession. Lawyers III the legis-
lature often prove to be the best mem
berS. Just about as often they prove
TO be the worst. 1T is grave mistake
to put all law making into the hands
of lawyers. 1t would be just as wrong
to put all printing into the hands Of
editors, health and sanitation into the
! hands of doctors or theology and the
control of morals into the hands of the
clergy. Every trade is inclined to look
at all things from technical point of
view. Only a few men are broad enough
to break away from the narrow rim of
their own petty horizon. The best Of
lawmaking requires broad vision and
an understanding OF many varying
points OF view. The joint committee to
revise the statutes should be made up
of men of different professions and bust
ness. In promoting poultry farm it is
not wise to select all the ROSTERS from
one barnyard.

STORY OF THE FIREPLACE.

1t had been a cold day and Nick and
Nancy were sitting before the fire
when Daddy came in to tell them his
bedtime story.
rs the fire saying anything To-
night?" asked Daddy.
oh, there have been such queer
sounds and snaps and cracks" said
Nancy.
And the flames have been of all
sorts of colors," said Nick.
81 think know what's going to hap
pen there tonight" said Daddy.
"Oh. what?" exclaimed the children,
excitedly.
They are going to have a ball." said
Daddy, land they are making all their
plans now. The snaps and cracks and
queer sounds you hear are the sounds
of the Fire Fairies making their ban
quet for the ball, and the different col.
ors are the colors they're going 10
wear, and decorate the fireplace
with"
Can we watch them?" asked the
Children.
YES" said Daddy; they're just be-
ginning"
And as they sat before the fire they
saw great many blue flames.
what are they?" asked Nancy.
"They are the Blue Fire Fairies and
they're going to meet the Red Flame
Fairies as they arrive at the ball" And
sure enough, the blue and red colors
in the fire seemed to be dancing and
playing and frolicking together.
Then came the Yellow Fire Fairies
and the Green Fire Fairies and some
queer ones dressed in black.
They are the Witches" said Daddy.
"Oh, dear" shivered Nancy.
But they're nice-witches are
you know"
Yes" said Nancy. But they look
rather frghtful in their black colors.'
"Ah, no" said Daddy, that is only
to make them look more mysterious
and marvellous. And after the dancing
Fairies the most beautiful stories of
everything that has happened in the
fireplace for years and years and
years. She will tell them of the games
the sparks have played and of how
they love to tease the GrOWn-Cps by
jumping out on the rug in front of the
fire. She Will tell them of the Castles
that have been made in the fireplace
and of all the Fire Kings and Queens
who have lived in them.
But when she tells about the sparks
you will see that the sparks still jumr
out and land on the rug-for they
I want to show that her stories are still
very, very true Later on, though
| they will become so sleepy that they
will stay in the fireplace and go t.
sleep"
And so the Children watched the
dance in the fireplace first. They saw
the beautiful costumes the Fire Fairie:

good deal after that he never made
love to ANYBODY else unless a third
party was present.
Fitch S first boat was launched in
May, 1877, and developed q speed Of
three miles an hour when the current
was swift enough. Later rhis was in
creased to eight miles and Fitch would
have become a rich man if he had
not been accused Of infringement and
thrown into the supreme court. Fitch
knew that by the time the supreme
court rendered a decision his grand
children would be reading fine print

several years kept the brcweries Of

when a storm was coming from stl-
fling feeling, which he said was due
to the fact that when two currents OF
air. one dense and the other rarified,
came together, the heavy cold air
forced the rarifed air down below it
and he could feel this. He also claimed
in later life that his predictions We're
