the advantages and failings of Phila &.
delphians that take my gifted lead
pencil In hand, as / have lived In
dozen different cities and am here but
temporarily, and erelong Philadelphia
will soon be to me just what st. Louis

ment Is to take a slap at the half wise

These are the facts.
The people Of Gopher Prairie have
the same proportion of culture, rehne I,
ment and education that residents OF
cities have, When one considers the
great discrepancy of numbers, the per-
centage Of educated people is always
larger in any small town, To read the
bunk sent out from New York one
would think life in n city was one con,
tinual round Of high priced shows ana
swell hotels. AS matter OF tact'
fully 60 per cent of the residents oil any
city have never been in all their lives
half dozen times in first clase
theatre-and thousands have never beeh
in one-and likewise they have never
been in a first -class hotel.
The ignorance Of the average city

The author OF Gopher Prairie" came
from a small town, and his idea-I have

His purpose was to show that the small
town makes superior city people see

Oxford in New Hampshire, just across

a person or persons swayed by
a passion for money, OF which
the brothers were known to
carry a considerable store. HUI
man life is no barrier for the lust
for gold in the minds Of some crea-
lures masquerading for men; it is held
no more sacred than the life of the
most humble animal that crawls over
the ground. Lust for gold caused an
inoffensive and feeble man, John Ho-
bart, to be murdered in the town of
Middlesex only few years ago. Lust
for gold was back Of the blows, which
struck down an aged storekeeper in
the little village Of Gassetts, VT, more
recently. Lust for gold is constantly
being revealed as the actuating mo-
tive Of murders nnumerable every
where in the world.
In the Oxford double murder, the
power that drove the axe against the
heads OF the two elderly Davis broth.

the two men had accumulated In their
thrift and which they, through odd
mental workings, had thought best to
larry on their persons rather than to
sntrust to banks. And, by the way,

IN the axe, may be the means of
bringing the murderer or murderers

Following the hearing Of the case Of
William Masters of Monkton on the
charge Of pointing deadly weapon
at Charles Hartman of the same town,
resulting in the weapon being dis
charged and Hartman being seriously
injured, it developed that Masters has
been in the habit Of pointing firearms
at persons for Joke" In the case
at hand the Joke" turned out to be
near-tragedy as the revolver pointed
at Hartman contained one she'll. SEN
tence of eighteen months in the house
of correction is likely to eliminate that
kind of joke from Masters roper
toire. 1t ought to be similarly effec-
tive in cases of other persons inclined

There doesn't seem to be any chance
for an argument this year over the
high school football championship Of
Vermont; the title goes to Burlington
high school, hands down, following
that teams victory over Rutland high
school after successive victories over
the other strong contenders like St.
Adams and Spaulding high of Barre.
The Burlington team hasn't played all
the possible aspirants for the honor
because games were not scheduled
with all Of them, but with those it
has played it has demonstrated its
superiority in marked fashion. Thus
it seems that there will be none OF
the wearisome claims and counter
claims on paper at the close of the
season. II is for the other teams to
begin making their plans to cope with
Burlington high another year.
