THE STARVING THIEVES

The Easy Mark, with savings, which
he carried about with him, was prom
Used a job by a casually met stranger.
\ week later a second man came to tell
him the job was ready. On the way,
these W were joined by a third. The
third was very deeply impressed by a
sermon he had just heard about the
starving children in their city. He felt
he had to do something about it. He
put up 81, 0 The second man put up
1000. The Mark put up $500 in real
money.
They put the money in a box, which
they gave to the Mark, with the key to
it. In a couple of days they were to
meet and give it to the children. The
box when opened contained waste paper
and two 81 bills. The starving chill
dren'' of the city where there are at
present no children actually suffering
from hunger, are still without their do
nation. And the Easy Mark has lost
his $500.
Everybody in this town, of course,
keeps his savings in the bank and doesn't
hand them over to strangers. The story
is printed just because it's well to keep
on remembering how foolish some other
people are.

According to a bulletin of the Ma
tional Geographic society, more than %
states will be 'at home" through the
medium of their state parks to several
campers, sightseers and lovers of the out
of-doors in general the coming summer
Many sites of these so-called parks
have been chosen because of historic as
scciations, others because they were
ideal for the picnicker, the camper and
tourist. While Vermont is not men
toned specifically, our state has reser-
vations which we may not have called
parks" but which have a wealth of
scenic beauty not to be excelled and to
which the real back-to-nature vacation
list has already blazed the trails.

COURTEOUS

T. l. generally recognized that cour-
fn~v end safety i'm motoring are very
closely allied. For this reason much
rutront safety instruction takes the
form If establishing rules of courtesy for
lie lrglwav. IN eastern paper recently
offered eight suggastions for the ap-
Yr4yar If motorists.
Tbe.s rm2os include such matters as
iar.a.t-lus a car to pass one from the
POOR without assuming that the driver
of the swifter car is looking for a race.
It is possible that he is on important
business. Another point is fairness in
keeping to ones own share of the road
so that no other car need be crowded
or Inconvenience unnecessarily. Steal
ing a parking place by pushing in just
as another driver is preparing to back
in. or by showing someone else's car
along the curb to make room for ones
own, is regarded as discourteous Cut
ting directly in front of a car one has
just passed, hOnking continually when
halted necessarily in a traffic jam and
emitting or giving hand signals careless
ly are all discourteous.
These little matters of courtesy, if
omitted, open the way for all sorts of
accidents. both minor and serious. The
thoughtfulness and caution needed in
their observance make for careful driv-
ing and inspire good will in other driv-
erS met on the road.

SECRET OF GOOD DISPOSITION

A woman who carefully safeguards her
health benefits her disposition. She will
be happy and attractive to all. The world
unfortunately is filed with sweet women
who are unhappy because they are held
back from usefulness by troubles so COM
mon among them. Fretfulness and nerv-
BUSINESS rapidly destroy good dispositions.
Sickly, all-worn-out women cannot mike
happy homes.
Lydia f. P~inkham's Vegetable Com
pound is a safeguard of women's health.
This is clearly proven by the. many let
ters we are continually publishing in this
paper, from women who nave been re-
stored to health and happiness by it's use
after years of suffering. Why don't you
try t?-AdYertisement.
