Show Vermont Thrift. Robert Lincoln O'Brien, editor of the Boston Transcript, is a great admirer of the thrift of the Vermonters, but thinks sometimes they carry it too far. O'Brien was up in Vermont last summer sum-mer and went to dinner with a friend who had some political aspirations. As they came to the door he heard the lady of the house say to the hired girl: "I see Mr. Jones has somebody with him for dinner. Take those two big potatoes down to the cellar and bring up three small ones." |
