SOL ONION on VERMONT sENCH
Decision Handed Down by Judge
Some Generations Age Remark
able for Many Reasons.

A singular compound OF law. good
eense and sarcasm characterized Elias
Keyes, one Of the early Vermont
Judges.
A discoBsolate-looking tramp was
once convicted before Judge Reyes OF
the larceny of the boots Of United
States Senator Dudley Chase. The
judge addressed him as follows:
"You are a poor creature and ought
TO have known better than to steal.
Only rich men can take things with
ont paying for them. And then you
must steal in the great town Of Wind
sor. and the boots Of great man like
Senator Chase. the greatest man any
where around. II you wanted to steal
Why didn't you steal in some little
town in New Hampshire and the boots
Of some man who wasn't Of any con-
seqhence?
"And then you must steal from him
when be was on his way to Washing
ton and perhaps the only boots he had.
You might have compelled him to
wuit until some shoemaker made him
another pair. and shoemakers never
keep their promises. And perhaps by
the delay. some important treaty might
have failed of ratification because he
was not present in the senate"
Il have got to say that you seem to
know iderned deal more about steal
ing boots nor what dor piped the
prisoner.
''That is a sound observation" he
said. II will give you only one month
In the county, Jail. and that not so
much for stealing as for your igno-
rance In not knowing better than to
steal the boots Of great man like
Senator Dudley Chase"

What Is Charmf

The charming woman possesses a
definite personality. She makes her
entrances and exits felt, and one would
rather talk with her than with many
other people. She may not be anything
remarkable, but she utters even com
monplaces in a way Of her own. She
is a sympathetic listener and neither
her eyes nor her interest ever wander
Tact and charm are near akin. as
both include the gift Of saying the
right thing at the right time. We
all know the woman who quite uninten-
tionally makes her friends as uncome
Portable as the kitten with. her fur
rubbed the wrong way. We all know,
also, her opposite, the creature from
whose presence one always emerges
cheered and comforted, with the agree
able sensation that one has been ap.
preciated at last.
4, The charming woman never stoopS
to fattery. She honestly believes the
best of everyone. and considers 1t her
mission on earth to diffuse happiness
around her. TO spread sunshine on
earth seems a divine attitude, and the
charming woman usurps It As her Spa
"'"l prerogatiye.

President Eamon de Valera, Of the
Irish republic, now is preparing to
slip back to the Emerald Isle. 1t
was learned here today, to assume
personal charge of the Sim Feiners
fighting the British forces.
British officials here are on the
alert for any move by De Valera.
They predict he will not land in Ire

De Valera refused to discuss his
departure today.
Plans Are Problematical.
How he will attempt to return to
ireland is probiematical. He land

arrived and was given a big ovation

that De Valera came as sailor.
Whether he plans to return this way
or not is a mystery.

To thousands of PERSONS in Ameri-

Travelling throu n evrey State In

got into personal contact with leaders
in almost every locality.
If he succeeds in landing safely in
ireland, the leader of the Sim Fein

to thousands of his sympathizers here.
These constitute an element which
the Irish republic can count on for
many months for moral and financial
support in their battle for indepen'
dence of British rule, according to the
belief of De Valera.
