Are you used to thinking Of wo-
mans part in clarcA work as mere
ly that Of going to Sunday School,
prayer meeting and preaching serv-
ices, giving pink teas occasionally
in honor of distinguished visitors,
and a chicken or oyster supper now
and then to raise funds for a new
suit Of clothes for the poorly-paid
pastor?
If so, probably you have not been
TO church recently.
Since the Southern Baptist wo-
men began their organized work
through the Woman's Missionary
Unicn they have contributed more
than 100000 in cash to the vari-
Gus causes fostered by the demoni-
nation, and when the value of boxes
they have made up for orphan chill
drea and other benevolent causes is
added their total contributions reach
tie sum Of $5,710,4o3.71.

WAS DICKENS OFFICE BOY
And All He Remembers of Great Au-
thor Is the Peculiar Style of
His Clothes.

The perseverance with which the
unimportant fingers in memory is IL
Illustrated by the sum total of what the
veteran porter who lately retired from
his post at Temple Gate, London, can
now recall about Charles Dickens.
Back In the sixties this man, it is said,
was office boy for the author, then
editing "All the Year Round" All he
remembers is that Dickens were a
"black velvet coat with big smoked
pearl buttons, and queer waistcoat,
and trousers Of shepherds plaid, the
biggest check you ever saw, and a
great big deerstalker hat, as they
called them, and his hair all hanging
down, wiry like" Also that once upon
a time somebody asked him, SIS that
a showman?" And he answered,
"That's the great Charles Dickens"
A vivid picture, and this is probably
why, plaid trousers, and all, it still
sticks In the former Office boys men,
ory but one wishes he could now re-
call some Of the other things he must
have observed in his remarkable chief.

FIND LITTLE JOY IN MANTUA
American Soldiers in italian City Can
not Be Accused of Indu.ging
in Wild Revels.

Mantun, the metropolis of the prov
lnce, Is the center of the territory
which encircles it in every direction.
Hitler flock the country folk from as
far as five or six kilometers away, to
gaze at the vino and stand around in
the middle of the street, impeding the
progress of the trolley car.
Equally fascinating to the American
soldier is this city, with its car track,
its air of cordial welcome, and its. in
saubrious climate, all Of which COM
bine to make him think more of the
old home town than he did before he
came here, says q writer in Italy Am
bulance Service News. 1t is not diff
feult to find things to do, for one may
always spend quite while figuring
out when he last saw the sun, or when
he will see it again. And then one
may also look at the lake.
But 1t Is at night that Mantua dis
closes it's true nature. With an cleo
trio light cleaning on every fourth
block, and the comradely mist always
with you, you can start out for a wild
evening. There are plenty of places
to go-all cafes. Variety is supplied
by ordering beer in one place and wine
in the next, until in a final burst of
hilarity you end up with caffe-latte
(the nadir of recklessness). BY that
time it is 10 80, the shutters are up,
the waiter jingles a pocketful of cen
tessimi and looks bored, the last pa
tron has departed and the girl behind
the bar seems to wonder what secret
sorrow keeps you from home. So you
depart-via the back door, barking to
your footprints echoing upon the still
night air. The carabipieri look at you
suspiciously, q cat Auns across the
black street, and you are all, all alone
in the wicked city. You yawn and go
back to- bed, filed with excitement
and beer One night nearer home.
Mantua has many attractive fea7
lures, but the best one is the ten
o'clock train to Milan.

The Newspaper Again

There1l be great epidemic of 81
toid-you-so's" around town tonight
when local folks learn that The Cal
edonian has changed hands again.
But it was inevitable. A man can't
write books all night and run news
paper all day, sleeping only Sundays
when he should be burning gasolene.
But the change is for the better be-
cause it means that the business If
fairs of the paper will be attended to
more effectively and the proper at
tention given to business promotion.
All the same, local stage-s5ruck
folks and brother newspaper editors
may save their execratio1s. The To-
cal aggregation isn't dead yet or his
typewriter ribbon wholly punched
through. He will still! retain enough
interest in Vermont newspapers and
this one in particular to pull the
whiskers of pouter-pigeons Groom
ing around Congressmen-if pouter
pigeons have whiskers-and call a
spade by some other description than
a handled agricultural maple
ment. Life's Dreary Path will stretch
away as before and the family auto,
the vacuum cleaner and the lawn
mower get it's customary publicity.
So let us pass the hat for the annual
contribution to the home for decrepit
pencil-pushers, after which we will
join in that grand old hymn: "He's G
Devil in His Own Home Town"

Kisses and Boards.

It is so easy to understand what the
Americans say, because they talk so
lCud-it is not the same loudnesS as
of the French, and one day | have
laughed to hear in a bus how girls
of the Y. M. G. A. have talked. There
was one who was not at all pretty, ex-
cept to be young, who has regarded
French gentleman who wore his beard
long. "Look," she said, "what a hor-
rible beard. Imagine to be kissed by
any one like that. Then they have
both laughed.
The other one has said then: II sup
pose his grandfather wore his beard
long, so he does the same" and the
first one has replied: eyes, it is al
ways like that. What was good enough
for your grandfather in France is good
enough for you"
I was not angry to hear them speak
so, because, you know, they were very
ignorant. For me, do not think that
they have known very much the emo
ton of to be kissed, or they would
have understood that it is not whether
or not one has q beard that makes the
difference.-London Bystander's Paris
Letter.

Toll of Snakes in India.

The American consul, M. M. Hay
wood, stationed at Calcutta, India
states in q government report that
more than 10000 persons lost their
lives in the country last year because
Of snakes and wild animals-tho
snakes claiming by far the larger num-
Der of victims.
To be exact, the consul says that
$4,000 persons died in India last year
as result Of snake bite, and that
2,176 persons were killed by wild ami
mails. This is an increase of 300 over
the previous year as regards fatalities
from snake bite and an increase of
100 as regards the number killed by
animals.

On Returning the Railroads

The question is not so much wheth-
er the railroads shall be returned, but
under what conditions. To turn
them back under the conditions that
existed, plus the new adverse condi-
tons, which give little ground for
hope of improvement. The railroads
were in the breakers when the Gov
eminent took them over. They have
lost two essential attributes of pri-
vate ownership. They controlled
neither their income nor their outgo.
Higher rates have added billion in
income, but expenditures, chiefly in
higher wages, are up billion and a
half. Private managers would strug-
gle nearly as vainly to reduce the
balance as government agents have
done. Railroad managers, whether
public or private, are not miracle
workers and cannot draw rabbits
from an empty hat The work Of ed
ucation on the railway question is
not finished 1t is scarcely begun.
Having destroyed railway prosperity
in one burst of hysterical unreason,
it will do no particular good to
bundle them back to their former
owners in another burst. No one
seems seriously to want to invest
money in or keep money in the rail-
road business unless there is rea-
sonable prospect of getting it back.
The realities cannot be successfully

lot of it sounds as if these writer;
viewed the auto question from the
outside. That is to say, from the
sidewalk.
What we need isn't more "Speed
Limit 10 Miles an Hour" signs hung
over the face of Nature, but a more
careful inspection of the driving abil-
tiles of those to whom the state gives
licenses. There are a lot of people
who drive their cars at fifteen miles
an hour who are far more dangerous
in the public thoroughfares than 9th
ers who carry their brains with them
every moment while at the wheel, and
"step on 'er" at the rate of AZ per-
Not mentioning any names, we know
instances where in the zest of selling
motor cars, dealers have taken out
the purchasers for a couple of hours
instruction on one or two afternoons,
brought them back, filled out their Ii
cense applications for them, and dis
missed the whole affair, with licenses
coming back to people who haven't
the quick wit or the general all-round
brains to drive a wheel-barrow. Half
the people driving cars today don't
know the laws of the road-if you
don't believe it, take trip between
st. Johnsbury and Boston and note
down the bone-head plays of the
drivers of the cars you meet.
A. goodly percentage of the auto
accidents at this season of the year
happen to new drivers who are not
yet accustomed to their machines,
however 1t isn't necessarily because
there's a general wave of reckless
ness coming over this gasolene scent
ed country.
There are almost more people own
ing cars than walking in these hyster-
ical days on which we have fallen
and it's time that civilization in gen
eral ceased looking upon the auto
driver as pest and nuisance and
a fly in the butter of human safety.
What is needed is a state Inspector |
in specified districts, whose job it
shall be to really ascertain if people
who apply for licenses are fit to have
them-not leave it to the applicants
say-so. When a person applies for a
license for the first time on their
first car, let them pass an actual ex-
with the license Inspector
in the seat beside them. Let the in
spector put them through the sprouts
and see how much they know about
auto driving, anyhow, then vouch for
hem. If he thinks they haven't &C
1uired sufficient skill and efficiency,
ct the license be withheld until they
nave; and if they own skulls COM
posed principally of bone who don't
lnow a carburator from a wheel
,ase, let him deny them a license be-
ore the accident happens, not af-
erward when everybody is sorry and
,orpses are strewn all over the land
cape.
Careful drivers do not necessarily
mean slow drivers. And good drivers
lon't have accidents-the facts speak
or themselves. Pull down about
lalf of these nonsensical speed-limit
signs and give little more attention

If State and the evil will be mini

The family is rising in the world
when mother irons with an electric
flat. 1t usually follows the acquisi-
ton of the Ford.
We notice that when the Veterans

er, it's still the Vets of 81 who do
most of the talking.
Speaking of the High Cost of Liv
ing, do you remember the time when
grandma saved all the family rags
and wove. them into those homely but
serviceable whirlpool rugs?
It's getting so that you're not much
of an auto driver or owner unless you
have been hunted either at one end
or the other by an express train at
