On my head the fmn Is gath'rlng with tho limning of the years; On my features are the records of a thous and hopes rnd fears; In my cheek-book tin re is written that which forty ".ears ago Would have made my being tingle with a wild, exultant glow; But nla.s' within my spirit there's an f ver-prisent aihe Tor the old corn beef and cabbago that my mother us-cd to make. 1 remember when I wnndcicd o'er the hills in liojish glee; And the dinner horns loud echo brought no boding thoughts to me; I was young anil 1 was happy; and my stomach ne'er went back On a slnglo proposition that my teeth would dale attack! Never thought 1 of dyt-pipsla as I charged the jelly eako And tho old corn bef nnd cabbago that my mother used to make. Rut the years have brought prosperity. The servants in my halls Keep tlielr straining ears a-qulvcr for the faintest of my calls; I have eaten ot the fattest; I havo drunk tho richest cup; Just to liallze at last that these havo u-ed my stomach up; And I'd give my vast possessions to be able to paitnke Of tho old corn beef and cabbage that my mother used to make. All the years I've sought the dollar, Strug Bled upward slow nnd sure. With my pocket growing wealthy and my stomach growing poor; Every year I find my tablo moro with luxuries replete; Every yenr I find that fewer aro the things that I can eat! Till the pathway back to childhood often times I yearn to tako To the old corn beef and cabbago that my mother used to make. And "iimetlines In blissful moments I will fall asleep and dream Of the russet buckwheat steaming and tho sorghum syrups gleam Dream that onco moro I nm living whero Welsh rarebits nre unknown And the noon hour unacquainted with tho sad dyspeptic monn: Then I Jeer at ix'psln tablets nnd forget my stomach aeho In the old corn beef and cabbago that my mother used to make.

FOR WOMEN Much That Every Woman Desires to Know About Sanative Antisep tic Cleansing And About Curing Ulcerative Pains and Weaknesses. Too much stress cannot ho placed on tho great value of Cutlcura Soap, Olnt mcut and nils In tho antiseptic cleans ing of the mucous surfaces nnd of tho blood and circulating fluids, thus affording pure, Bwcct and economical local and constitutional treatment for weakening discharges, ulcerations, In flammations, Itching.'), Irritatloiis.relax ations, displacements, pains and Irregu lnrltlcs peculiar to females. Hence the Cutlcura remedies havo a wonderful influence in restoring health, strength and beauty to weary women, who liavo been' prematurely aged and In valided by these distressing allmcnt9, as well as such sympathetic afflictions as anxtnla, chlorosis, hysteria, nervous ness and debility. Women from the very first havo fully appreciated the purity and sweetness, the power to afford Immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, tho absolute safety and great economy which have made tho Cutlcura Soap, Ointment and Pills the standard slcln cures and humour remedies of tho civllbed world. Millions of tho world's best people use Cutlcura Soap, assisted by Cutlcura Ointment, for preserving, purifying and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruir, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening and soothing red, rough and sore hands in tho form of baths for annoying irritations, inflam mations and ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative, antiseptic purposes which readily sugscst themselves, a9 well as for all tho purposes of tho toilet, bath and nursery.

FIRE IN BLACKSMITH SHOP An Alarm This Mornlnfr nt Two O'clock Calls Out Department, A fire alarm was rung lu from box 43 at tho police ofllco for a llro lu Perry s blacksmith uhop on lower Church direct opposite the old Green Mountain rink. Tho flro wap well umler way when dis covered but thrre were soon thrco streams on tho blaze. It Is probablo that the building will be ruined. It could not bo learned at this hour how tho blase originated. It was re cently occupied by Mr. Collins but he moved out a short time ago nnd It could not be learned whether It was occupied or not. Tho flro mode such u blaxo that It caused considerable alarm among the nearby residents who were aroused out of their slcnp but It is probable that none of the adjoining piopcrty will bo damaged. Somo Significant Figures. When tho campaign In favor of the ref erendum llnuor law wa3 In progress Mr. Clement claimed that tho license voto for governor would bo augmented on Feb ruary 3, by the democratlo strength na well as by many votes cast for McCul lough In September, and ho confidently predicted that tho voto for tho now law would bo 41,000, As a matter of fact tho yes vote was only 30,602 or over 13,000 less than tho 44,000 confidently claimed by him In advance, and only about 2,500 moro than tho 2$,201 votes received by tho Uccnso candldato In September. Tho total voto cast for governor was as follows: McCulIough, .tl,$C4; Clement, 2.4,301; McGcttrick, 7,3M; Sherburno, 2,403; scattering 8 malting tho totnl voto In tho September election C0,?33. Tho total voto last Tuesday was 00,203, or 0,730 1093 than the gubernatorial vote. An Interesting fcaturo of tho result of Tuesday's contest Is that In the four counties of Caledonia, Lamoille, Orange and Orleans not a Blnglo town was car ried In favor ot tho referendum llnuor lnw, while In tho no column every county In Vermont was represented. When one studies tho returns from the different towns nnd counties with rcf- erenco to tho bearing of tho result on legislative action, ono can appreciate how thoroughly legislative elections may mis represent tho sentiment of the people as a whole. It Is evident that If In connection with Tuesday's contest tho pcoplo had been electing a Lcglslaturo to frame legis lation, that body would havo been over whelmingly against local option and li cense law. Following Is a summary of tho number of towns that voted yes and no In tho different counties: County Tea No Addison 3 II Pennington 11 il Caledonia 17 Chittenden 0 7 Essex f S Franklin : li Grand Isle J 2 Lamoille lo Orange 17 Orleans IK Rutland l.T '.1 Washington 7 1:', Windham 7 It Windsor 5 l'- ?JJ 100 The 100 towns which voted against th" local option and high license law would have elected representatives to tho Leg islature on the liquor lssu opposed to license, whereas the yes towns number ing only about SO would have only that number of rcprcsentatlvcsh to favor a llceii,lo law, conceding that all the yes votes aro for license, four towns having made no choice cither way owing to a tie in tho vote and two towns having failed to report. Kqu.illy Interesting nnd significant Is the result when considered by counties ulone, as bearing upon the question of senators. Following Is a summary of the vote by counties together with the num ber ot senators to which each county Is entitled. YES. Itennlngtou... Chittenden .. Franklin Rutland Washington . NO. , ..2'Addison 2 ....3(.'aledonla 2 ...ilKssex 1 1 ....UUr.md Isle 1 ...,H Liuiollle 1 lUiange .....2 ...li;0!lc.iUH 2 (Windham 2 Total Windsor s I Total ..10 In other words If the different counties had been electing senators on tho ques tion of local option and high llcene nine counties would have elected sixteen sen ators against such a law, while five coun ties would havo elected fourteen senators In favor nt a local option and high license measure. II this goes to emphasize the fact that it Is too early for the advocates of the local option and license law to rest on their laurels. Even If public sentiment in the different towns were to remain nn- changul. the next Legislature In the light ot Tuetilay's result would he opposed to the l.iw. hut it it is administered In such a way as to cause a revulsion In popular feeling, It requires no eye ot prophecy to see that tho measure will bo wiped from tho statute books. It be hooves the advocates of license, there- lore, lo do their best during the coming two years lu which their system will be on trial In Vermont. Kvlt "Hypocrisy." The horror of "hypocrisy," exhibited by the organs of high license in tho recent I'limpalgn, must have been noticed by nil observers. The battle having gone against the thirty thousand "hypocrites" who voted "no" on Tuesday, and the five or six thousand voters who agreed with them, but who did not get to the polls; and the forty thousand good "hypocriti cal" women ,who would havo been glad to vote no, will of course subside und repent, and show "fruits meet for re pentanV by confessing that thero was not n spark of candor or honesty in their opposition to the open saloon; and that what they were after all tho tlmo was free rum under prohibition, In place of severe restriction under high license. The antl-"hypocrlleb" will of course set a continued and ever Increasing example of truth and candor. After the 3d of March no man who has obtained a drink on Sunday at a licensed bar will ever pre varicate If called as a wltnejs against the bar owner. No lawyer hired to defend a licensed saloon-keeper for selling to minors or drunkards If a prosecution for such an offense over occurs will deny that his client has broken the law.

GRINNERS AND GROWLERS. Tho Two Classes That Make Up This Odd World of Ours. young woman recently applying for a position as domestic in a Western fami ly, after an exhaustive examination by her prospective mistress as to qualifica tions, said: "Now, ma'am, let mo ask you one question beforo 1 say I'll work tor you. Are you a grlnner or a growler; 'why, what do jou mean." 'Do you try to make the best of things ns they coma or do you make the worst of tlnm?" 'Why. I try to makes the best of things, believe, 1 never gave much thought to the. matter before." 'Then l'l work for you. l never could work for a growler, but I'd work day and night, too, fur a grlnner. Giowlers aro so plenty now 'taln't easy to find an out- and-out grlnner." It Is a question every nousewite might well ask herself: "Am I a grimier or a growler'.'" says Robert Webster Jones in tho Februaiy Housekeeper. Il Is a qne.s- t on upon which depends the nappinms of every household, No oilier department ot life ononis grainier opportunities tor the exercise of optimism than the home. Pessimism Is ci coping Into every coiner of the social fabric, it pel meatus busi ness and society and educational Insti tutions. "What's the use'.' Is the cry. Keep this mournful, nerve-destroying, Hoiil-destroylng wall out of the home. which should be the brightest, cheeriest spot on earth, Kvciy tlmo a growler Is changed to a grlnner the world becomes u little bright er. "Grin and bear It" was old advice, and It's good to-day. Cheei fulness makes for long lives, good digestions, worldy success. The llouseKeopir rroacnes tho gospel of cheerfulness. It Intends to help Its readers to lead happy lives. Morbid. discouraging, pessimistic articles will have no placo on Its puges, Cheerfulness is tho most contagious ot all conditions. Let's catch It ourselves, and then do all wo can to give 11 to others, Let all who nre grlnners continue to grin and all who are growlers turn grlnners, WEPDINC IN ST. JOHNSRl'RY. St. Johnsbury. Feb.
