gest entering class in its history, a
statement similar to that which
President Tucker has made every
year since his assumption of the
presidency.
One of the principal improve

fall is the new Wheelock hotel.
During the summer the building has
been thoroughly renovated at an
expense of over $50, 900, SO that now
it is one of the finest hotels in the
state. The service is first class un-
der the management of A. p. Fair

The football practice is develop

team are back at college, SO that
there is less material to develop
thoroughly. The line appears to
be the weakest point in the team
just now, Coach MacCoinack, last
years successful coach, is putting
in good work training the unknown
material. The first game is to be
with Middlebury college Oct. 4, the

ROLLING AN UMBRELLA.
The Proper Way IL to Twist Ribs
and stick Together.

anu DUCK IOBethcrs
"Why liz it," asked an inquisltive GUS
toner in q downtown umbrella store.
"that one can never roll up an umbrella
as compactly and neatly as 1t Is rolled
when he buys it?'
"You can If you only know how"
said the salesman, "but If everybody
knew how 1t would mean less business
for us. The umbrellas would last Ion
ger, and there would be lot less work
for the repairers.
perhaps / shouldn't tell you how"
the clerk continued, "but it's so simple
you should know anyhow. If you have
noticed. nearly everybody who rolls up
an umbrella takes hold Of 1t by the
handle and keeps twisting the stick
with one hand while he folds and rolls
with the other hand,
"Now, that's just where the mistake
comes In. Instead Of twisting with the
handle he should take hold of it just
above the points Of the cover ribs.
These points naturally lie evenly
around the stick. Keep hold Of these.
pressing them tightly against the stick,
and then roll up the cover. Holding
the ribs prevents them from getting
twisted out Of place or bending out OF
shape. Then the silk Is bound to fold
evenly and roll smooth and tight. #.
Roll your umbrella this way, and
until it Is old enough to get rusty look
ing it will look as II 1t had just come
from the shop."-New York Herald.

The Previous Question

Old Senator Nesmith Of Oregon, one
of the first settlers Of the state, used
to tell this story: At the time when
Oregon was admitted as state and
the first legislature Of the state met
Nesmith, who was member, possess
ed himself Of copy Of book on par
liamentary procedure. This work,
which was at the time probably the
only one Of it's sort west Of the Mis-
sissippi, he studied diligently and by
the time of the first session was we'll
up in the rules Of debate.
At the first meeting Of the new leg
islature motion was introduced and
speedily carried, but on the second
measure dispute arose, and for three
days the state legislators .wrangled
and debated.
Finally, on the third day, Nesmith,
who had watched the proceedings
without even opening his mouth, de-
clded 1t was time to use piece Of his
parliamentary procedure, SO he rose
and moved the previous question"
There was a moment Of silence fol-
lowing this motion, and then amid a
shout Of derislon the speaker cried:
"Sit down, you fool! We passed the
previous question three days ago."

AT THE CAPITAL.
LETTER FROM REPRESENTATIVE
WHITE.

Montpelier, Oct. 2.
Editor of The Age:
The fight for governor is ended
and machine politicians have again
won out in the State of Vermont.
But small indeed is the victory
when compared with that won by
Mr.. Clement. He has won every
point in this fight from start to fin
ish except the governorship, and
came near getting that on the popr'-
lar vote. In the contest Yesterday
in joint assembly he came out with
more votes than were credited to
him by returns from the September
election. And so | believe it cor
rect to say that on all essential points
in the greatest fight ever known in
the State of Vermont Mr.. Clement
wins.
That license-local option law
will be passed this fall is without
question. More than nine out of
ten here for the purpose of making
laws l believe to be in favor of it
For illustration, at my boarding
house are ten Mccullough men
every one of whom are in favor OF
an operative license-local option law
1t is talked here this morning that
after today's session the Legislature
will adjourn until next week.
