to give clue TO his identity. He had
parts of cotton mill machinery in his
pocket and evidently was a mill opera

rapid that, except for his hair, 1t
would have Jcen impossible 10 tell

and women who sought to be teach

the board alleges, the applicants

the applicants that their papers would
be thrown out if they did not deSist.
But this warning had no effect.

Knighthood Still in Flower.

Chivalry still lives, and its home
is in the mountains of North Caro-

day a neighborhood quarrel resulted
in pitched battle. In the midst OF

moving along the road that separated
the enemies. AS soon as the fighters
saw the pinickers one of them called
out, Boys, stop shooting until these
young ladies and gentlemen pass" At
once the firing ceased and the young
ladies and gentlem passed in safety
Could there have been finer chivalry,
even in the days when knighthood was
in flower?

BRATTLEB0RO LOCAL.
USE OF THE LIBRARY.
A Plan Whereby People Outside the
Town May Enjoy Its Benefits.
Brattleboro, Feb. 49, 1903.

Gentlemen:-
l have been asked by the trustees of
the library to prepare statement upon
the following subject for tho local press
that voters may have the matter under
consideration before the town meeting
VIII you kindly print the following in
your issue of Feb. nth?
H. h. MILES
one OF the things to come up at the
approaching town meeting is the pro-
posal to allow use of the Brooks Library
To- individuals in adjoining towns, upon
payment of suitable fee. The ques-
ton Is referred to the voters of the town
by the library trustees. as the latter
have no discretion in the matter. The
ordinance Of 1852, under which they ad-
minister the library, grants its use to
male and female inhabitants of Brattle-
boro over fourteen years old, upon prop
or certificate of recommendation.
There are occasional applications for
use of the library from people living out
side the town, and an arrangement can
be made by which their desire may be
gratihed without expense to the town, or
probable Inconvenience to those who now
draw books. The annual appropriation
for the library is less than 81 per poll
1t has been suggested that the fee TO peo-
pie living outside the town be 81 a year
This money invested in books would put
more ncW books at the disposal of Brat
tleboro readers than under the present
plan. 1t is not probable that a large
number of people in adjoining towns
would take out books under the proposed
plan. but there are some young men and
women on the hills about us who are
trying to fit themselves for teaching, or
professional life and are unable to get
hold of the books they need There are
teachers in the country schools and min
listers in the country churches who want
access to the more solid aud least used
books in our library.
The experiment of permitting them
to draw books under the proposed plan
will cost the library nothing If few apply
for books. II will be rather a profit than
a loss If many make use of the oppor-
tunity offered. Should it result in poor
or service to the local readers for whom
the library exists. the privilege can be
with drawn.
