Word was received here today that
Mrs. Celina Bourret, who was taken
last Thursday to Montreal. had made
the journey with less suffering than
was expected and that her condition
showed some improvement Mrs.
Bourret, who had been living at the
home of Mrs. NJ. Culliton on Gage
street, was taken seriously i'll recently
and her removal to Montreal became
necessary. Her reported improvement
in Montreal may have been due in a
measure to tho receipt Of q letter from
her youngest son who is serving with
one OF The Canadian regiments in
France. The letter which stated that
the young man was well and that he
had been granted weeks furlough
from the trenches was received in
Bennington a few hours after Mrs.
Bourret had left for Montreal It was
promptly forwarded to Canada Mrs
Bourret had not heard from
her son since February and 1t /
is believed that constant worrying |
over the absence of news was largely |
responsible for her Illness.

JOLT TO my preconceIVed ideas OF nu-
man nature, Margie," said Paula,
continuing her story. 1T was the
way Earnest's wife, Maud, treated
me at this time.
you remember I told you of meet
ing her and her adorable baby the
first day she came. After she had
seen Earnest she studiously avoided
me, and when that was impossible
she treated me as though 1 were one
of the vampire women one reads
about, but never by any possibility
meets.
Sometimes, Margie, think mag
inatiOn is the most tyrannical thing
humanity knows. Most of us are
tortured by letting our imagination
set standard for those we love that
no human being by any possible
means could live up to.
81 think that is one of the most
terrible facts of Iife-our brains and
our emotions can fashion such al
Turing fancies that realities seem
most prosaic in comparison. No
person could be as good as our minds
can picture and I am sure no one
could be as bad as we sometimes
think some folks are.
Maud Lawton, after talking with
her husband, took the stand that l
had tempted the poor man in such
way made his life a burden. If by
any possibility he had seemed to pay
me any attention, it was because I
demanded it.
"She paid me unconsCioUsly the
tribute of CHASING me, a girl of 20,
with those sirens of history whom no
man could resist. Maud LawtOn loved
her husband with a doglike devotion
which made him a god in her eyes.
From the moment she joined him in
Philadelphia she forgot all his neg
lect, all his cruelty.
Ruth, who was much exercised
over the influence Earnest had over

her husband before but once since
Earnestine was born.
He was perfectly hOrTid about
knew she was coming he left Maud
without money and did not return
until Earnestine was 6 months old.
He would not have come then if
had not gone to his manager and
told him of Maud's dire poverty and
that l would have him arrested for
non-support of his wife and child.
Then he came over where Maud lived
and acted like a crazy man, but 1
made him arrange to pay her S25 a
week. This he did until he became
infatuated with you, and then he ap-
parently forgot he had a wife and
child.
Maud came here because I wrote
her the exact circumstances, but
such is his influence over her that
she has come to think him a poor,
abused man, who for a short time
was under the designing influence Of
a regular-for-sure vampire
For a moment, Margie, was too
astounded to speak, and then I
laughed. To think poor little I, whose
only mistake was pouring out all my
girlish heart to him in perfect love
and trust, should be described as a
vampire was too ridiculous.
''The next few days Maud's treat
ment of me got on my nerves, par
ticularly as she took great pains to
keep little Earnestine away from me.
That adorable baby, with the incOn-
sistency of childhood, took a great
fancy to me and would run to my
arms the moment she saw me.
Why can't gO'to the pity YAH
dy, mUvver?' she asked fretfUlly one
afternoon when her mother had re-
strained her from throwing herself
upon me.
Her mother whispered something
to her and she answered with a pOut:

POLITICS AND THE
FARMERS MORTGAGE

The federal farm loan law en-
acted by a democratic congress
last summer was Il favorite sub
jact of hostile remark in the state
campaign by Mr.. Hughes and
other republican orators.
Like the federal reserve bank
act. the idea was good enough
perhaps, but the :.,rm was some
how very bad. 1t would not work
The farmers themselves were IN
different. The hearings around
The country he'd by the rarm loan
board were described as farcial.
IKE farmers c. the counlry, WI J
time out of mind hal been ground
down by eXtcr; 'onate rates or i'll
trrrst on their Mortgage leans.
would welcome really practical!
measure of relief such as The re-
publican party for years had
promised to enact and never did
but they could have no use for
such a measure which the DEM
ocrats actually had enacted.
II appears, however. that the
farmers arc not so very imdiffer-
amt after all. The new system
will not be fully organized much
before next February, but al
ready $4,000 farmers have applied
for mortgage loans totaling $50,
100000. Two thousand requests
for loans came from the strong
republican state of Iowa alone.
As between the old condition of
paying 8 per cent and upward on
such loans and getting them on g
partial payment plan at less than
& per cent, there is not much
room for the play of partisan
politics.
Through the federal reserve
banking act the American farmer
for the first time can borrow on
short maturisies as advantageous
ly as the merchant or manufact-
urer. Thru the farm loan act
for the first time he can borrow
on a mortgage loan about as fav-
orably as can a railroad. These
are fundamental measures in re-
moving the handicap on Americn
agriculture in relation to other
industry. Their beneflcient eff
fects must be great.
