Adversely is the crucible in which a
mans honesty is tested. Most people
act comparatively honest where thew
have plenty from sense of pride. A
truly honest person wants no advantage
and will shirk no responsibility, his
word being as good as his bond. What
pity all are not as honest as they
should be.

some of our high toned boys, many OF

damaging and destroying habits. It's
fact, boys, and you'd better try to
chop it off while you can.

language a male native is called a Fill
pino; female native, Filipino. We
simply use the English spelling Of the

but we use the Spanish term Filipino

to us.

A RAILROAD DEAL.
The Rutland Secures the Ben
nington Road.
-
A GREAT SYSTEM
Is What Percy Clement is
Working to Bold Up.

Rutland, Feb. 20.-Percy w. Glenn
ent, the railroad king of Vermont, has
scored another success in securing the
control of the Bennington & Rutland
through the purchase of majority OF
the stock. This is very important
deal as the Remington had very valu-
able trackage rights over the Fitch
burgh. With the completion of the
Rutland Canadian, the Rutland will
have system extending from Ogdens-
burgh to Bennington and near enough
to connect with the Boston Y Albany
if there should be trouble with the
FitchburgE. The Rutland also con-
trolls the Ogdensburgh Transportation
line of boats on the great lakes. This
move will probably result in divertlng
much traffic from the Bellows Falls
route and save hauling freight ovel
the hard grades at the Summit, ano
also from Bellows Falls to Keene. The
grades from Rouses Point to Boston
via. the new route and the HOoSlt
Tunnel are very light.
