commencement.

The anniversary exercises in the Ben.
ningtOn public schools began yesterday
afternoon with the Class Day exercises
of '05, on the High School lawn. The
day was perfect. A platform had been
erected under the elms on the banks of
the WalloOmsac. Various schools were
present in double ranks with their flags.
Hundreds of people had gathered on the
lawn before the hour to begin.
At 3 o'clock, Goldsmith's City Band
played an overture, aud the Glass of '9j
came upon the platform, and immedi.
ately behind them came next year
class, numbering nineteen members,
with apurple satin banner with '06 upon
it. The Glass of '95 wore their colors of
white and gold conspicuously, and from
the Flagstaff on the building foatod a
large flag of the same colors.
President Sumner made a pleasing ad-
dress in a good voice and manner. He
spoke of the interest the class had in
holding the first Glass Day exercises ever
held in Bennington, and spoke pleasant
ly of the part to be taken by each mem
ber of the class.
George Partridge then read the class
history which was really one of the most
elegant and finished efforts of the day.
1t was full of bright hits for each of his
classmates and it was read with excel
lent effect.
After more music by the band, Mr..
Hurlburt read the following poem which

It is asserted that there was motive
governing the writing of the Presi-
dents famous Chicago letter. The
story is now current that Mr.. Cleve-
land, believing that the Democratic
party will declare for the free coinage
Of silver and will be defeated on that
issue, wrote his Chicago letter 80 that
he might be able to say that he had
foreseen the danger and had warned
against it. Whether or not this story
is true, it is nevertheless certain that a
great many Eastern Democrats look
forward to the committal Of the Demo-
cratic party to free coinage platform.
It is equally true, however, that some
OF them are not SO sure that il means
defeat. And this opinion comes, II
might be added, from men who are moi
friendly TO silver. Among them ID
Senator Smith, of New Jersey. He Is
afraid that the financial plank in the
next national platform will be an out

amount of profit as well as pleasure
such persons lose by hedging them
selves in with this stupid fence of fas-

more of this feeling among persons

about it. A great deal of intelligence
is floating around the world without

are educating themselves, but con-

AN AMPHIBlOUS VEHICLE.
One that VIII Run on the Water as Well
as on Land.


as on Land.
Among the novelties in inventions,
1t is announced that a man has con-
structed a vehicle that goes equally
well on land and water. 1t is said to
be capable of a speed of hundred
miles an hour on good highway and
two-thirds of that distance on water.
Specially constructed roads at least
fifty feet in width would be required,
and the surface must be very level and
smooth. Curves are an inconvenience,
although if very long and not at all
abrupt, they might be tolerated. This
conveyance would certainly be a novel
sight charging along at the rate of
hundred miles an hour on land, then
plungipg suddenly into the water
and driving through at a speed
hitherto unknown to ocean racers.
AS a matter of fact, this is not
a specially new idea. Long ago plan
was made for a vehicle of this sort. 1t
was made somewhat on the principle
of flat-board, the entire bottom being
covered with a series of paddle-wheels
reese bling those of the ordinary side
wheeler, but smaller, and RAINING the
entire distance of the boat from side
to side. These wheels were strong
enough to support the weight Of the
car or boat, whatever it might be
called, on the land, having on the
axles wheel-shaped attachments with
tire on which the wheels turned
These tires were about a foot apart,
and the space between them was filled
in with the fiat, paddle-shaped sections
Running along smoothly on the sea-
beach, this uuwieldy creature could be
turned so as to slide into the water,
the same motion propelling it as was
used to drive it over the land.-N. Y.

DID NOT LIKE THE NAME.
Judge Jooeiyn Makes an Endesvor to Get
Rid of an Appellative.

Rid of an Appellstive.
81 see you've got three Names" said
Judge Jocelyn, of the Washtenaw
(Mich.) circuit court, to a young man
whom he was about to admit to prac-
tice. well, l used to have three
names myself" he added refectively.
There's nice little story about it,
too"
when l was little boy" the Judge
went on, 'my name was Isaac-lsaac
Chauncey Joceylin. Now l didn't like
that name of Isaac, and the boys kept
calling me key which made 1t worse.
So when my parents moved away from
the little town where was born, and it
came time for me to go to the
new school, made up my mind not to
say word about my first name, and to
be plain 'Chauncey Jocelyn' from that
day on.
1.-THE first day in the new school the
teacher told me to stand up, and, the
following conversation took place be-
tween us:
"'What is your name, little boy9 ke
said.
Nnduncey, SIT, sdiu l.
"'What is your other name, little
boyP
Here my resolution came to my
support and l answered boldly, L
haven't any other name, sir
40, yes, you have he answered.
II couldn't understand how he knew,
but / made up my mind that the in
dignity of key was too much to DE
borne, so entered my denial anew.
with that the good teacher whipped
me and sent me to my seat to think 1t
over, and at intervals all through the
morning he made me stand up, asked
me what my other name was, and
when / told him / had no other name
whipped me some more
1.-THE matter had grown decidedly
tedious to me long before the time
Judge went on. when the boys had
all been sent home except me, and
had stuck to my story through one
more sound trouncing-and that
teacher knew how to whip so that it
couldn't be torgotten-I had just
about made up my mind to succumb.
ION a sudden the teacher blurted
out:
Whats your fathers name, little
boy?
Mr. Jocelyn,' said /.
"'Well, then your names Jocelyn
too, isn't it% he inquired.
"'Yes, sir said /, great light
breaking in upon me.
You see," the judge concluded, as
he attached his bold signature to the
young mans license to practice, Il
was so busy taking care of one end of
my name that l had forgotten all
about the other. Chicago Tribune.

Striking "A Bargain.

A story is told of St. Folk, the French
poet. Like many other students aspiring
to the gifts of this classic art he forgot
to pay his debts. His creditors were
larger i'll proportion than the checks re-
ceived for his poems Ere long he found
himself in a precarious condition. But
somehow he managed to evade all cred
itors through the exertion of his caustic.
wit. One day he sat in the barber :

to be shaved. Suddenly a creditor ap-

Slang In Electricity.

An,ther electrical phrase has been
transferred from technical service to the
broader and more popular realm of
slang usage The Review some months
ago called attention to the expression
"Your trolley's off, which has come to
be the latest equivalent for "You re off
your base" And now the simple phrase
olive wire" has become slang.
To an electrician Give wire" means
nothing more than wire charged with
current Of electricity or through
which a current is flowing. The apti-
tude with which this phrase adapts it
self to slang meaning is well shown
in the remark which member of the
Lotus club uttered in reference to Rus
sian drink
Vodka is live wire when you
don't know how to drink it, and when
you do it is comparatively tame.
In this sense we have a new substi-
tute for hot stuff, Jersey lightning.
Conversely "dead wire" might refer to
comparatively insipid drink, such as
lemonade or Apollinaris. A poor play,
an untuneful concert, dull book, may
be criticised as "dead wire. An alb
sorbing play, Il tuneful concert, an in
tercsting book are "live wire. "-Elec-

Do Men Get on Their Knees?

Did you ever know a man to get on
his knees i'll proposing marriage: Can
you imagine a mana man, we mean
making such an abject fool Of HIM
self?
If he is worthy of the girl, he brings
as much to the proposed union as she
perhaps more. Why, then, should he
humiliate himself? His proposition can
not be other than flattering to her. 1t is
a serious matter and should be treated
seriously. She will respect dignity, re-
spect self respect.
On the other hand, if a man is I'M
worthy of the union he seeks, no amount
of pleading and cringing can possibly
glorify him in the girls eyes 1t cannot
kindle admiration for him, cannot bring
him up TO her level.
Isn't it about time to eliminate from
our books and from our conversation
this idea of the lover getting on his
knees ?-Munsey'
