AT FOREST PARK.

Forest park will be the scene of much enjoyment next week, as Man. ager Jacques is making special ar- engagements for an unusual program of festivities. It is the week of the Fourth and special attractions will be provided for visitors to this popular resort. On Thursday there will be a band concert afternoon and evening, and on the evening of the Fourth the display of fireworks will be elaborate. This display will be the best that has ever been shown at the park and will be exhibited at the conclusion of the performance in the open air theater. The attraction in the theater next week promises to be one of unusual merit and the indications are that the record of attendance will be broken. Begin ming next Monday the performances at the park will begin at 8 o'clock in the evening, instead of 9 o'clock, as here tofore. There will be new attractions next week at various points about the park which are sure to please visitors. Last night the Octoroons, now holding tie boards at the park, played to a capacity house. The performance was even better than on the previous even ings and the applause was continued. It's worth the price of admission to hear the song, Good Morning, Alice The show is an excellent one and is meeting with the success it deserves.

 NEVER HAS A MINUTE.'i

If there is anything that makes one feel uncomfortable it is attempting to stop in the street 8 man who is in variably in rush, never has leisure, and always gives you the impression that he is late for a train. Every muscle or lineament of his face indi- eates haste; and, when you leave him, he makes you feel like a thief, for stealing his valuable minutes. He holds his watch in his hand; he edges away from you, and tries to show you in every possible way the immense value of his time. He seems to think it is a sin to move at moderate speed.
 The student who is never seen on the playground, but grinds and grinds away in his room, when others are at their recreation, is often outdistanced, in real life, by the boy who learned to study while he studied, and play while he played; and he has occasion many times in life to envy the boy with a strong, sturdy physique, and robust health, whom he reprimanded for vast ing his time in play at school.
 1t is pitiable to see people on the street cars, in our large cities, who are so impatient of moments time that they are keyed up to concert pitch and ready to jump at any minute. All seem in hurry. They do not take time to sit comfortably, but are on the alert, with every muscle on the strain, and can't even wait until the car gets to it's stopping place. They get on and off the ear while 1t is in motion. There is no repose or restful ease in their lives. Such people have never learned the lesson that leisure is as useful to humanity as activity. <
 People who are always in such q hurry, fretting and fuming because they are wasting a a-moment, are nearly always superficial. They have very little reserve in their lives, no balance, and never carry great weight. They are like the waves on the top of the ocean, lashed into fury and foam by the storm, compared with the great silent power and reserve of the depths beneath, which no agitation ever ruff fieS.
 Strong characters are calm and de- liberate They can hurry in an emer gency, but they almost invariably avoid emergencies by forethought. Success

A Sale of Historic Interest.

Mrs. Sarah M. A. Allen of Brookline.
Mass, has sold to A. G. Whittemore,
agent, for $50, 900, the land known as
the Allen property in Burlington.
The purchase is ten and one fifth
acres and is bounded on the west by
Willard street, on the south by Cliff
street, on the east by Summit street,
and on the north by land of Lawrence
Barnes, Jr., and o. S. Presbrey. The
names of the real purchasers will be
announced later. The sale has sem
timental and historic interest. Ira
Allen owned thousands upon thou
sands of acres of land in Vermont,
though he died in exile and poverty,
and with the rest a large part Of Bur-
lington and Colchester. Part of his
land was saved from the general
wreck of his property, but this was
alienated from time to time, until this
ten acre plot on Willard, Summit and
Cliff streets was all that was left in
this vicinity. This was owned by
Sarah M. A. Allen Mrs. Wade) of
Boston, daughter of Ira FL. Allen and
granddaughter of Ira Allen, who re-
fused for many years to part with the
land, merely because it was the last
of the thousands Of broad acres once
owned by her ancestor in Burlington
and it's immediate neighborhood. 1t
is a notable coincidence that an
nouncement of the alienation of the
last item of the Allen property should
be made on the very day on which
the university commentaries Ira
Allen as it's founder.

TO THE SUBORDINATE AND POMONA
ORANGES OF VERMONT.

The recognition of Vermont Old
Home Week should be a privilege
and pleasure to every admirer of her
Green Mountains and delightful
homes, and every native born citizen
man or woman, boy or girl-should
do something to euliven the occasion,
and bring good cheer to the old home
stead to renew it's memories.
Not town in the state but can add
new pleasure to itself by inviting on
this occasion all it's former inhabitants
and join with them in celebrating the
week by some program, social or his
torical, which will bring back to the
older pleasant memories of by-gone
days and give to the younger great
interest in the early history Of their
town and the continued prosperity of
it's people.
The organization of Old Home Week
and it's observance in other New
England States, has been early recog-
nized by the Patrons of Husbandry as
something very much in sympathy
with their work. Therefore I would
ask every Subordinate and Pomona
Grange in the state of Vermont to lend
all the aid possible to the local COM
mittees in their several localities to
make this joyful week to those who
have gone out from us and now return
once again to enjoy Augustus delight
full atmosphere with us. May the OBJ
servance of the week instill into the
hearts of the rising generation loyalty
and devotion.

A KNIGHT OF THE 10Th CENTURY.

A week ago William Phelps was an
ordinary negro laborer, distinguished
| in no way from thousands of his race.
| But there were in the man latent quail
| tiles of heroism and self sacrifice that
needed only the hour of trial to reveal.
To-day he is dead, but he died so
nobly that no one can read of his death
unmoved. This is the story as told in
an Associated Press despatch from
Indianapolis:
William Phelps of Richmond, KY,
and James Stansbury of Indianapolis,
Ind, were cleaning the inside of an
eight foot upright boiler at the Cereal
Wine mills Saturday when an employe
turned on the steam, thinking the cock
was tight. It leaked, and the scald-
ing steam poured in on the two men.
The only exit was up ladder to a
manhole in the top. Both jumped for
the ladder. Phelps reached it first,
took one step and stopped. He jump
ed aside and shouted: "You go first,
Jim, you are married"
Stansbury sprang up the ladder,
and escaped with slight burns about
the face and legs. Though Phelps
followed at his heels his act of heroism
cost him his life. Both men were be-
ing cooked when Phelps jumped aside.
By the time he had followed STAINS
bury up the ladder the flesh was drop
ping from his limbs. He was cooked
alive and with supreme effort dragged
his scalded body from the manhole.
He lived for two hours in terrible
agony, but did not let a groan escape
him.
''It was Jim's right to go first" said
he quietly. He is married" Phelps
had been boarding at Stansbury's
house.
1t would be difficult in searching the
pages of history to find higher or
more genuine type of heroism than
that of this poor, unlettered, plodding
laborer of despised race. 1t paral-
lels Craven's magnificent deed in Mo-
bile bay, and the more recent chivalry
which brought death to Commander
Roper at Cavite. Some action ought
to be taken to make more than ephe-
neral the fame of William Phelps,
who is deserving of an enduring mon
ument with this inscription: "Greater
love hath no man than this, that
man lay down his life for his friends"
