not that a voice can be sent across a

Tonight listened fn'' to a beauti-
full concert. 1 merely touched the
buttons of a simple machine in my
library and heard music that was as
sweet and clear az tho sung within
the room itself-tho it was actually
almost fifty miles away. And I got it
thru that little instrument attached
by a. wire from my window to tall
tree in my yard.
A friend handed me a magazine in
which I have read a most interesting
article headed 1.-The Heartbeat of a
Hindu plant biologist, says that plants
and trees have a heart beat similar
to that of animals and human beings,
with this exception. that the beat in
the plant or tree is accomplished by
minute cells. leach of which expands
and contracts with throbbing action,
continually drawing up water from
below and expelling it upward to the

! believe YOU were wise in telling him

big nature and great love would
love you for what you are today, past

things which belonged to a day when
you were not his.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: L am girl

think great deal of him. 1 couldn't
think of giving him up for L think
more of him than of any other boy.
My folks don't like to have me go
with him because they don't like him
very well. His folks hardly ever speak
to me. But L can't think of giving
him up. What do you think about it?
Since you are of age, you are old
enough to make your own decision
in this matter. 1 would advise you
to consider carefully the objections
your parents have to the young man,

pie with great weaknesses in their

A DISTINGUISHED AMERICAN.

The late Rev. Lyman Abbott was a
most versatile, as well as most ef-
iicient man. He had tried his hand at
several professions and had done well
in all Of them, even reaching a super
lative degree of success in some of
them. Starting out as lawyer, he
shifted to the ministry, next invaded
the field of journalism, branched out
into authorship and, in the meantime,
was more or less of power as an
orator. Perhaps his greatest renown
was as editor-in chief of the impor-
tant national magazine, The Outlook,
albeit his service as a clergyman and
successor to Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
in the Plymouth church Of Brooklyn
stamped him strongly in the minds
o. the people in earlier days. Such
a wide range of activities inevitably
gave to DIR. Abbott broad concep-
ton of things and he brought TO his
editorial work scope Of knowledge
and of human interests that made his
work invaluable to the readers of that
journal. DR.. Abbott was not man
given to seeking after public Office,
and, indeed, he rarely held position in
political and governmental circles; but
he held innumerable positions in civic,
reform and public welfare organiza-
tions, giving of his time and of his
labors without reserve. In short, he
made himself useful in the seemingly
lesser fields but thereby accomplished
much more than would have been pos
sible in public Office. DIR. Abbott was
of high type of American life and
will receive merited recognition from
his fellowcountrymen and fellowmen.

CURRENT COMMENT
The way to Treat Corporations.

Work ON the new station is progress
ing quietly but rapidly, and local per-
sons who are acquainted with the plans
for the new structure agree that moth
ing better could be asked of the rail-
roads concerned. 1t is sometimes bet
ter for villages seeking favors at the
hand of big corporations to merely
suggest what is expected of them and
then await results. Constant haggling
over details sometimes proves 80 ag-
grayating that antagonism rather than
cooperation develops. In the present
instance Bellows Falls can consider
herself lucky--eyen though the con-
struction of the new depot does take
four or five months instead of the 100
days indicated in the contract Bel
