THE MAGICAL DURHAM.
It Brings the Highest Price Of Any
Oriental Fruit,

Il Brings the Highest Price Of Any
Oriental Fruit.
It was at the height Of the DURAN
season, when all animal kind in Malay.
two legged and four legged, is animal
ed by an Unsuitable lust for the fruit It,
self and quick to fill with savage anger
against whatever stands in the way Of
satisfying its appetite, for not the least
remarkable quality of this remarkable
fruit is the amatory effect it has upon
those who 1t, says Caspar
Whitney in Outing. All DURAN eating
Malays, man and beast, are afame with
erotic fire. The jungle resounds with
the fighting Of lovelorn brutes and the
towns awaken to courtship.
The DURAN is about the size Of a
pineapple, with a similarly rough out
side covering armed with half inch
spikes which are tough and sharp. 1t
grows on trees fully sixty feet in
height whose trunks are bare Of limbs
except at the very top, and when the
fruit ripens it drops to the ground. So
as the season approaches natives erect
small huts under the tree or lear by,
from which they watch for the falling
fruit.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have such trees growing on their own
land practically live on the income de-
rived from the sale of the DURAN, for
In the peninsular market 1t brings the
highest price of any eastern fruit. In
the jungle edge, where these trees have
no ownership, the race to build the first
hut and thus establish proprietary in
terest in the falling fruit is equal in in
tensity to a land rush, and in the jun
gle the natives must compete also with
the wild beasts that share mans fond
ness for this extra ordinary fruit.
Once in the jungle as / sat smoking,
puzzling out some lost seladang tracks,
a falling DURAN attracted my atten-
ton. The nearby trees seemed alive
with monkeys racing to first reach the
ground. One monkey that had been
left at the post, so to say, deliberately
dived from the top Of the tree where he
sat, fully forty feet, into the top of a
smaller tree below. WHENCE he swung
to the ground. But, though he beat out
the others, the DURAN had disappeared.
A small ~leopard-like creature had
sneaked off the fruit, and I was too alb
sorbed in watching the aerial fight of
the monkey to get more than a glimpse
Of the thief. The troop Of monkeys
that instantly forgathered discussed
the situation loudly and in very OBJ
vious anger.

In not working to a plan or pro-

In not being ready for the opportuni-

In sampling every kind of invest

In dreaming Of great things instead
Of doing the little M at hand.
In being SO disagreeable and selfish

In waiting for somebody to help

PERSONAL.

With this issue of the Register we
close three very pleasant years service
on this paper, working with the business
men and citizens of the town to promote
its best interests and increase its pros
perity. That we have failed only too
often to do or say the right thing no
one realizes more than we.
In all our long newspaper experience
we never found the leading citizens and
business men of any town more ready
or willing to assist us in every effort
that promised to advance the material
interests of the community. This cor
dial cooperation, with us in our work,
has made it very pleasant and, we trust,
of lasting benefit to Middlebury.
We bespeak for our successors, Messrs.
H. G. Shaw and Frederick A. Hughes,
continuance of this cordial support,
without which no paper can be made
of real benefit to any town. They are
both worthy of that support Mr.. Shaw
has had valuable experience on several
successful newspapers in this and other
states and will look after the editorial
and news departments. Mr.. Hughes is
Middlebury boy. graduate of Middle
bury college, class of 1902, and is, we
believe, specially well qualified to look
after the business interests of the
paper.
Before leaving Middlebury we wish
to most sincerely thank every one who
has assisted us in our efforts to make
The Register good newspaper and to
promote the prosperity of Middlebury.
We deeply appreciate the many kind
words that have been spoken concerning
our efforts. How deeply, words are in
adequate to express. Good bye.

College Notes.

The first game of the season was
played with the strong team from Bris-
tol last Tuesday afternoon on the college
grounds and was won by a score of
10 to 6. A large crowd was present con-
sidering the fact that it was the first
game. An especial feature was the way
in which the fellows turned out and
cheered. The college team showed up
well for the first of the season. Bristol
certainly has a better team than the one
which defeated us last year, The bat
ting was very good and good judgment
was exercised in punching hits. Taylor
led the batting list with Holmes
and Farr close seconds. Captain Taylor
was not in his usual pitching form and
the players did good work in backing
him up. Plans are on foot to play a
series OF, games with Bristol and we be-
lieve that it would pay besides giving
the team good practice. The next
scheduled game with. Bristol will be
played in June. Middlebury plays with
Norwich ON Saturday at Mortified and
a close game is expected. Following is
the score:
