School Teacher IN Trouble

A case OF corporal punishment in
the schools at White River Junction
has stirred up quite a breeze in that
place. Principal Gilman of the high
school ferruled Miss Evelyn Tracy,
II girl of IS years, and 1t is claimed
that one hand was cut by the ruler
and the other badly bruised. The
teacher and the chairman Of the
school board, who supports his
course, deny this and point to the
statement of DR.. Goss as conclusive
on this point. The father of the
girl entered a complaint to the town
grand juror, but he has not acted
yet, owing to the absence of the
states attorney. The grand juror
has doubts whether corporal punish
ment is allowable in Vermont
schools under the law.

An 0ld-Tlme Race on Silver Lake
..-Notes.

Notes.
An occasional correspondent OF
The Age in Barnard writes as fol-
lows:
There are men living in Barnard
who recollect a race on the ice over
Silver lake over fifty wears ago be-
tween Deputy Sheriff Bowman's
PAGER. King. and T. y. Davis trot-
ting mare, Black Maria. King was
doomed by the sheriff and his crowd
as the boss of the road and of any
track named. Mr.. Davis was a
quiet but good horsemen for the
tunes. and IN some of his travels he
bought this young trotting mare.
His friends limited that she could
down Bowman's PAGER, and this
Suggestion started a war cloud at
once. The result was Il match for
money.
When the horses appeared, the
tall bav PAGER looked as though it
would he play to double-distancc
the long, low, inferior black colt ;
and when the start was made King
dashed away like Il steam car. leav-
ing Black Maria in the dancing act.
Bowman looks back and yells :
"Why don't YOU come along? but
the colt soon settled and squared
away. A few seconds AMI she was
alongside of Bowman, and IN a tew
more seconds the PAGER was not in
it at all. A great shout, long to be
remembered, went up from the Da.
Wis party. The sheriff refused to
drive another heat, so the stakes
were awarded to the tro.ting mare,
Not much more was ever heard OF
the great boss of the road, and for
years PAGERS were considered of but
little account, but time changes
many things, and the PAGERS of to-
day claims, and gets recognition.
1859 Id.
Silver Like is now in its glory!
1t has the winter sports as well az
the summer delights. A fine mile
track on the ice is staked out in KIT {
shape and this week marks its frs
use. Horses are already making
good time in thei, races, and il
weather and track hold good, fas
heats may he expected.
Arthur Porter lost pretty goot
horse a few days ago. Some vet
erinarians pronounced the trouble,
bots. Others say that bots neve
killed Il horse, and we know from
experience that bot will live fol
hours in a solution that would ca
through horses stomach, so there
can be no use in d ctoring much TO
bo.s. Every horse has them more
or less. Arthur's horse probabl,
died of collie or inflammation Of the
bowels.

Tho Hair Under the Microscope.

Placed under a powerful micro
scope, the hair shows a surface COW
cred with strong, coarse, jagged
teeth and more strongly resembles
a coarse, rough rasp. Dealers in
human hair can tell in a moment
whether the locks offered them have
been cut off or combed out. They
do this by rubbing the hairs through
their fingers. If the hair has. been
cut from the head and has not been
misplaced, it remains in its original
position. If it has been pulled or
combed out and put together regard
less of the direction in which it
grew, one portion of it will slip 20
the right and the other to the left.
1t does this because the jagged edges
engage upon each other and pull i'll
opposite directions. The philosophy
Of this is demonstrated by drawing
a hair first one way, then the other.

"He Fetched the Fixments."

Now, in them plain old days we
didn't have the railroads and kilograms
to make quick trips on, and it was
nearly two weeks before Uncle Eph re-
turned back home. But when he did
come he fetched the fxments with
him. 1t was then along in the first
part of August and the camp meetin
was comm off about the middle of Sep
TENDER. l managed some way to slip
the higgins we had got for Miss Susy
Ann over to her house, and she had
plenty time enough to set up of nights
and put them together unbeknowance
to the old folks. The plan was for both
of us to bud and bloom and bust out
Student and surprisin like and take
all the shine off of Bunk and Miss Rose
bud the very first lick.
The big camp meetin opened up on
Sunday. We didn't have many bug
gies then, and when the young peo-
pie went about they had to ride horse
back, or either take it afoot and walk,
off to meetin and then ride by after
Miss Susy Ann. And do wish in my
soul that you could of seen me when
/ got into my new clothes and come out
in full bloom that Sunday mornin. My
navy blue coat had a velvet collar and
brass buttons on it. 1t was not only
calf-wiper, friends and fellow citi-
zens-it was double breasted ankle
knocker. And that bell-crown hat
which l wore. Ny, my, my! 1t was n
wind splitter and a sky scraper. Then
with my ruifle-bosom shirt and spike
toed boots on, and heavy gold watch
chain danglin from the brow band of
my breeches-dadblam it, / felt like
l wouldn't give more than half of the
road to a governor or president.
When | got over there to the Stringer
place Miss Susy AIMS horse was stand
in hitched to the rack i'm front of the
gate. l rid up and hailed with a
grand salute. Presently here come Miss
Susy Ann skippin and hutterin out
of the house. Man, sir, there was a
sight which was worth livin long life
time to see. Her pink silk dress was put
together and built up accordin to the
latest fashions, with tucks and fiounces,
and laces and ribbins and beads and
other fancy trimmins, from her milk
white throat to her high-heel slippers.
| 1t didn't raley seem to me like she was
walkin human fashion, but sorter skim
min over the earth like bird, and
blamed il her higgins didn't screak and
whistle as she went like a high wind in
canebrake. ! helped her to mount,
and away we went till we rid into the
camp grounds with a wide sweep and a
mighty swash.
