years work next Monday in excellent
condition and with a fun corps of teach
ers. During the vacation the different
buildings have been thoroughly cleansed,
and. in several instances, needed repairs
have been made. \ new floor has been
laid in one of the rooms in the main
building, and fresh seats have been or
dered which will be placed in position
later in the fall The house on Prospect
hill has been thoroughly renovated inside,
thus making it correspond to the other
primary buildings in point of comfort
and convenience.
In the Canal street building two fur
naces have been added to the arrange
mcnts for heating, which, il Is hoped
will obViatc all complaints on account
of cold, in the future, and make unnec-
essary the closing of any of the rooms,
even in the seVerest weather. other con-
Veniences have also been placed in this
building that cannot fail to be appreci-
ated by all concerned.
OF the grade teachers only two resigned
during the summer, Miss Merrill and Miss
Dodge, and their places have been filled
by the appointment of Miss Winchester
of West Brattleboro, and Miss Stoddard
of Springfield, Mass Miss Winchester
will take charge of the fifth grade in the
main building and Miss Stoddard of the
fourth grade in the Canal street build
ing. An unusually large number of va
cancies occurred in the high school at
the end of the school year. owing to the
designations of Miss Gordon, Miss Man
dell, Miss Byron and Miss Crowell. Their
places have been filled by the appoint
ment of Miss Perkins, Miss Osgood, Miss
Butterfield and Miss Barnes. to have
oversight, respectively, of the depart
ments OF English, modern languages,
science, and classics. All these young
ladies are college graduates and have had
successful experience in teaching. Miss
Barnes, who will take the position lately
held by Miss Crowell, took honors at Rad
cliffe and afterwards taught in both Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut. She re-
signed her last position in order to ac-
cept the opportunity open to her in Brat
tleboro. Altogether everything points to
profitable and interesting school year
for both instructors and pupils.

COL, WILLIAM AUSTINE
Death OF the Oldest West Point
Graduate on the Army Rolls.
He Was a Veteran Of Three Wars and
Had Been a Resident Of Brattleboro

the oldest graduate of West Point on the

15-Foot Embankment
Shooting the chute or looping the loop is
a tame diversion compared to the eXper
fence passed through by William f. Has
llell superintendent of pipe organ build
ing at the Estey factories, and j. Willard
Cobb last Sunday. Although they suffered
no serious injury they had miraculous
escape from death. They We're going to
Bernardston via the Weatherhead Hollow
road in Guilford and We're bowling along
at the rate of 80 miles an hour in Mr.
Haskelfs big Rambler automobile which
is known as a 16-hOrSe power machine
and weighs several tons, when something
happened. In rounding a curve the car
left the centre of the road. Mr.. Haskell
made an attempt to steer it back but it
jumped through a heavy guard railing,
mashed telephone pole, went some 10
to 15 feet over an embankment into the
brook al the point known as Keith's mills.
In its flight the machine turned over COM
pletely, but both occupants kept their
seats and struck under the machine. They
soon crawled out, found that they were
only bruised and shaken and saw that
they had been saved from death only by
a portion of the top of the carriage and
the back of the seat, which supported
the. weight of the big machine and kept
it from crushing them. The engine was
stll runnng-probably it was going so
fast it couldn't stop. The wood work of
the machine was badly smashed, but the
running gear seemed to be in good condi-
ton. With the aid of a pair of David
Bakers horses the automobile was pulled
back into the road, but although the en-
CINE would run the machine could not be
gotten under Roadway. 1t was drawn
home by horses, and John Harvey, on be-
ing notified of the predicament of the au-
tomobolists, went to Gulford and brought
them home in his car The damage to
Mr. Haskell's machine will be repaired in
q short time.

Dear Sir: Good yarn: How we got our
agent at Delhi, n. Y.
Gladstone & Paine were agents for
--; we mustn't tell names. We
wanted 'em. Paine was painting his big
Colonial house. Said it took 10 gallons
of white for the trim.
We sent him 10 gallons and said: If
you get it all on, no pay; if you have any
left, return it and pay for the rest
Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took the
agency Four or five years ago. He
knows now that his old paint was and is
adulterated; that's why it took ten gall
Ions to equal six of ours.

1t is announced by German publica-
ton that there are $50 955 miles of rail-
way in the world. The North American
continent has .233,1S6 miles Europe fol-
lows with 1907. South America, has
only 2S,S22; Asia, 4i,S5S; Africa, 1864;
Australia, 16,03S. The mileage of the
United States alone is about POI, 900 or 40
per cent of the entire railroad mileage Of
the world. Great Britain's railroads rep
resent the highest cost per mile 1856, S39.
The railways of Europe appear to be
much more costly than those of the rest
