derful treasures, the masterpieces OF art,
paintings. antiquities, and vases conferred
In Vienna, formerly crown property, or
IN the state museum or other museums
or Libraries. These are believed to be
worth several billions of francs
The disposal of these treasures is ex-
pected to be difficult task and to be
fraught with disaster to Vienna, since her
whole future existence is believed to de-
pend upon her ability to make herself a
center of attraction for visitors, tourists,
artists, architects, and students of music
and medicine; now that she no longer is
a center of commerce and politics of a
great empire which annually drew in
billions of income from such sources.
Friends of the former Emperor Charles
assert that all the sins of the Hapsburgs
have been visited upon his head and that
he has been blamed for all the grating
in the army, although the aristocrats de-
clare that the grating generals were prin-
cipally those without titles. They adj
mitted, however, there were few exeep-
! tons in which corrupt nobility profited
by the war. It is asserted by the friends
of Charles, the last emperor, that while
the old emperor never was permitted to
get in touch with the people, Charles
Immediately got rid OF the ''old crowd"
and did his best to introduce new men
and to stop the war.

Two Joint resolutions We're adopted on
the part of the house J. r. III. 25 pro-

Legislature upon the right of small ma

emphasis upon the Irish problem. 1t was

Mr.. Clark of Brookfeld, extends thanks
Of both houses to the members and board

Preparations for mock session, re-
hearsals of the heavenly choir, April
fool jokes and the steady plugging-away
of the senate on the budget bill con-
sumed legislative attention yesterday
afternoon. with perhaps the biggest
April fool stunt of the day perpetrated
in the house.
The occasion was the complete and ir-
remediable interment of H. 312, the
Sunday permit bill, for which the stage
had been set for one of the biggest
talk-fests of the session. At least a
dozen members on either side of the
question were prepared and anxious to
speak for or against the needs of the
community for ice cream, fruit and Gig
arettes on Sunday and the galleries
Were crowded with an expectant audi
enee. ~
The show came to sudden and
abrupt end when Mr.. Tracy of Johnson,
who had favored the measure in the
I first place, but declared it wicked to
waste any more time of the house dis
cussing it, moved that it be indefinitely
postponed, which was Immediately done
without debate, one of the most smash
| ing votes of the session being recorded
on the aye side of the question and
only few. scattering "Noes being
( heard, mostly from the committee on
Judiciary.
| Mr.. Hills of Chittenden then moved
/ to reconsider and the vote refusing to
| do so was even more emphatic than
the vote to postpone indefinitely. So
/ the bill died.
The senate went into executive SEES
sion about . clock in the afternoon,
and, it is understood, received three
nominations from the governor, which,
/ according to custom, were laid over "a
hours before being considered.
The rest of the day, and until'a late
hour at night, was devoted to consid-
Grafton of the various items of the
budget, Senators Villas and Amey ex-
aiming into every department touched
upon and calling freely on the commits
sioner of education, commissioner of
agriculture, state engineer and other of
ficers and department heads for in
formation as to their financial needs
for the next two years.
No change was made in the schedules
and at $40 the senate. being in com
mittee of the whole. refused to adjourn
only 90 sections out, of lo3 having been
considered.

The Tale of My Pig.

A little girl in Windham county, Vt
member of a boys and girls pia
hub organized by the department of az
iculture and the state agricultural col
ere, writes the following jingle il
Ter club report about an incident in tn
ife of her pig:
This is a story that I heard;
IN tell it to you word for word.
There lay my pig beside ditch
Or water hole, l don t know which.
Beside him lay another creature
Resembling him in form and fea-
ture.
The time, l think, was last October,
The man was drunk, my pig was
sober.
On the man s finger was a ring,
In my pigs nose similar thing.
They both were dirty, fat and lazy,
And seemed disposed to take life
"aisy.
And there might be other points, I
ween,
OF likeness 'twixt the two be seen.
For brevity let il suffice
To say that neither looked too nice.
But in the mild, autumnal weather,
They lay contentedly together.
Some city people passing by
Glanced these companions to espy,
And as they passed they dropped a
word
Which my pig listening overheard:
You may be rightly Judged said
they,
"By company kept from day to
day. -
My pig got up and walked away!

Republics of Former Austrian Empire
May Denude Vienna.

Pending an investigation by pariia-
ment of the disposition Of the imperial
funds, the position of the former Emper-
or Charles and the erstwhile imperial
family continues to be a painful one,
though not dangerous unless the situation
should lead TO disorders. In that event
the family possibly may travel to Swift
zerland or elsewhere.
The Socialist papers continue freely to
attack the former emperor, arehdnkes,
and aristocracy, claiming that the latter
did not do their duty during the war.
