THE AUsTINE HOSPITAL.

Plans Under Discussion for Use Of $50
900 Which Was Wlled for Local lnstl-
tuition.
James f. Hookers first official act as
first selectman of Brattleboro was to call
a meeting Of the incorporation of the
Austine sanitarium, which was held in
the Vermont National bank Wednesday
evening, to discuss the question of who
will have charge of the $50, 900 bequeathed
to the town by Col William Austine.
AS result of this bequest a bill was
introduced in the Legislature at the last
session entitled can act to incorporate
the Austine Sanitarium," and was passed.
naming as incorporators the persons
selected by the testator DR.. George F.
Gale, president, Dr. A. l. Miller DR. c.
r. Anderson, Chas. \. Miles and G. c.
Averill. Selectman Hooker is an incor-
porator by virtue of his office
Section 1884 of the Vermont statutes
begins as follows "All real and personal
estate, except United States deposit
money, held by town in trust for any
same otherwise directs, shall be under
the charge and management of three
trustees elected by the town"
MI Hooker holds that under this section
the selectmen of the town have no right
to turn the trust funds over to the in
corporators as they are not named in the
VIII as trustees of the. fund. but as tr1ls-
tees of the institution. His contention
is that the town must elect a board OF
three trustees, at either a regular OIL
special meeting
Those present at the meeting wednes-
day evening were DIR. A. l. Miller, DR.. G.
f. Gale, DIR. G. r. Anderson, G. c. Averili
and Selectman Hooker. II was decided
to lay the matter before Judge E. L.
waterman, judge of the probate court
and ask him for written opinion.
Selectman Hooker went on record as
opposed to the establishment of hospi-
tai for consumptives, as has been planned
by the incorporators. believing that II
would be of no benefit to the town. but
positive detriment.

j. F. Bigelow, the stone mason, was
arrested by Chief Police Hall last night
on the charge of assaulting his wife.
Judge Newton bound him over to county
court in the sum of 5000. Mrs. Bigelow
testified that her husband struck her in
the face and kicked her whereupon she
ran for the door, taking a knife off the
table as she went, for protection. Bigelow
denied striking and kicking his wife and
said she came toward him with the knife
and that he took 1t away from her.

cording to law that ticket is mine until it passes
out of my hands. It's good for another trip be-
tween Claysville and Maxton, and conductor
would refuse to accept it,"
Then you would better keep it, said Jack
holding the bit of paper out to the Judge
''No; / don't know when [ shall make the trip
again." returned the Judge. Il gave it to you,
knowing it would help out when you went to see
your mother next week"
For a moment Jack held the ticket between
thumb and fingers, as if weighing the consequences.
Then he deliberately tore it into bits and threw
them the ground, saying. as he did SO, Now all
temptation to use it is out of my reach, and l
glad it's settled"
NONSENSE" returned the Judge. with a show
of temper. you'll never make a successful bust
ness man, never. That two dollars would have
brought you a great deal of pleasure and the rich
railroad company would never have missed it."
'Ihe railroad company is not much richer, [
suppose, but-well, [ have saved my own self-re-
spect," said Jack, "and Pm sure mother would
rather miss my visit than have me ticket that
had no right to travel upon. She's kind of old
fashioned about such things, you see"
"And she seems to have raised boy who is no
more upto date than herself said the station agent
who had heard the discussion from first to last.
Honesty is honesty" said the Judge, but a
boy who knows no more of the ways of the world
than to throw away two dollars just because he
could not prove legitimate ownership will go
through the world on his knees, crawler as long
as he lives. would not care to intrust my interests
in his hands, at least and most other business men
will take the same stand when they find him out"
Nevertheless, few weeks later, when a boy was
needed in the bank of which he was president Jack
was the boy the Judge recommended, saying that
one who would not cheat a railroad company out of

to have in an Office where tempting piles of money

RUINS.
I've seen in twilight's pensive hour
The moss-clad dome, the Wondering tower
In awful ruins stand"

In ruins! What thoughts rush all unbidden
to the mind contemplates these words, so
full of pathos. How expressive they are How sad
the retrospect they awaken How gloomy the fore
cast
The Old World has already revealed to US. in
its unseaed books to beginning, and-would that
we could say the end-of all the struggles of hui
mainly. The brief phrase, sin ruins" contains
a condensed history of all that is noble or great
in the past.
Babylon, Persia, Greece and Carthage rose and
fourished amid all the grandeur of a pagan age
Each came scorned and babe defiance to the world,
and each in turn bowed her stately head in silent
submission before the dictates of Father Time.
Greece beautiful Greece! the land of scholars
and the nurse of arms when sister republics in
fair professions chanted the praises of liberty and
the gods. What is she now
For two thousand years the oppressor has
bound her to the earth Her arts are no more.
The last sad relics of her temples but the bar
racks of a ruthless soldiery; the fragments of her
columns are in the dust. And yet, beautiful in
their ruins they tell us of the palmy days that
no more
Rome! Imperial Rome! whose eagles glittered
in the rising sun of Palestine and the setting sun
of Briton; whose banners futtered in the icy winds
of the north and were kissed by the bamy zephyrs
of the Mediterranean.
Where now is that marvel and Mistress of the
World whose Golfers teemed with the tributes of all
nations Let the petty Kingdoms that arose on Its
wreck tell the tale
IT'S true the Eternal City yet remains, proud
even in her desolation, noble in her decline, and
calm as in the compose of DEATH But why? Be
cause, venerable in the majesty of religion, she
still YIELDS a scepter, mightier than Caesars,
more glorious than Charlemagnes.
AS the traveller gazes upon the ruins of some
medieval castle, does not his mind revert to the
centuries that are gone! As in dream, he be-
holds once more the feudal lord dispensing lavish
hospitality He hears echoing through the halls
of the grim old castle the soul-stirring ballads of
the troubadours and the heart-subduing melodies
of the flute, while from the latticed easements,
float in response, the laughter of noble lords and
ladies fair Where now are the noble lords and
vassals loyal who thronged those spacious halls,
when chiyalry was at its zenith? Where now are
the ladies. beautiful and fair, who graced the ban
ouet halls of the long ago. Alas, they all have
long since passed the portals of the great beyond
The ivy-laden towers and moss covered walls
alone remain. sad monuments of the days when

But sadder far than these physical ruins
the ruins of brilliant mind. Though It's power

THE BOY WHO GOT THE JOB.

"Here is a ticket, Jack, which that stupid con
ductor did not lift" said Judge Keys, meeting the
little newsboy as he stepped from the morning ex-
press? GAS it is unlimited you use it the first
time you are coming back from visiting your
mother and to save an honest two dollars"
''WouId it be an honest two dollars, judge"
asked the boy as he looked critically at the ticket
yes certainly. Don't you see it has not been
punched! 1t has not been out of my possession
since paid two silver dollars for it."
But you got the full worth out of it, did you
not 2 asked Jack ut brought you from Claysville
to Maxton, and it would be like taking advantage
of the railroad company to it again"
sHa, ha, ]" laughed the Judge. 1t is amusing
to hear Of taking advantage Of that great, swind-
ling monopoly, the railroad Why, my boy, don't
you know that it would cheat us all out of our eye
teeth if it could"
"But does that make it right for us to cheat
back again!" questioned the boy "Will two wrongs
make "a right"
"Theres no wrong in this last transaction"
argued the Judge. 81 bought the ticket according
to law, and paid for it. but the conductor passed
through the train half dozen times without taking
it up. He did not even look at rue, Tor he would

with the ticket. If I'd report his careessness he

HOW TO BE POPULAR.

W e all like to be liked, although now and then
some one, entrenched in her own fancied superior
lty, may think that she doesn't care about it
much In few people the desire for appreciation
leads sometimes to lnslncerity which defeats It's
own object, Tor affectation is more often smiled
at than smiled upon 1t is often pulling to the
casual observer" to account for the popularity of
one glrl as compared with the indifference shown
TO another girl quite as pretty and apparently as
clever and goodnatured as the former. Miss A.
who IS not particularly handsome will have de-
voted attendants, while Miss B. who is undeniaby
pretty. sometimes experiences the pangs of being
a Wallhower. 1T is not always the things of the
purse that count. A girl who is obliged to econo-
mize by wearing simple frocks has been noticed to
receive more attention than some others who can
order many gowns as they please Occa-
sionally some girl who fancies herself unappreci-
ated seeks advice as to how she can win popu-
Iarlty. Alas that is one of the conditions for
which there are no rules formulated. One can only
draw conclusions from observation and experience
The girl who knows how to be interesting can
achieve popularity if she will. She who is cheer
fol and sunny will find people turning to her as
one turns TO all bright things. As nothing sue
cecds like success the girl who looks as if she
were having a good time and expected to enjoy
herself has usually plenty of people to enjoy the
occasion with her. Many girl who stands in
corner of the room wondering unhappily why she
is passed by, would understand better if she could
see the miserable expression that has crept over
her face. and the general air of unrest and anxiety
that seems to warn every one away. To appear at
ease, interested in ones surroundings and feeling
pleasant" is more than half the equipment for sue
cess at such a time. Some sweet and good girls
make an unfavorable impression through undue
anxiety about what impression they are making.
self-conscious person is seldom interesting. Per
hsps as nearly general hint as one can give for
achieving popularity is to be genuinely interested

A Dream Story.

Selection from The Star of the West
Edited by the Undergraduates.
You've oft heard bright tales of great heroes,
Perhaps, too, some stories of cranks,
But mine is the task of unfolding
The secret of certain sly pranks.
1t may surprise some of our audience
To hear the dark tale I'll unfold,
For the schemer who planned out the programme
Has never been deemed very bold
Twas our only post graduate Mary,
On one of her wild, frealsh days,
Who resolved in her own quiet fashion
The class of 1905 she would haze
She first captured Daisy, majestic,
And led to a room all apart,
Nor let her go free till she told her
Her latest affair of the heart
When Daisy returned to her senses
Dark vengeance on Mary she vowed,
But never revealed what had happened.
All, no! for such things she's too proud
Then she determined that DolIie.
The proud, the imperious grad"
She'd take as her No. 2 victim.
But dreaded lest Dollied get mad.
SO she lured her by wiles all uncanny
Way off to a spot all alone
And Dolllc, though quite mSusplclouS,
Gave utterance to a long groan.
And there, with vigor unwonted,
With SCOT Mary backened her face,
Till scarcely vestige of beauty
On her comtenance fair you could trace.
Soon after she spied timid Nellie
Roaming amlessy all round the house;
And. leading the way, bade her follow.
Nell obeyed, too, meek mouse.
And when they had entered the basement
She hastily turned the hose,
And poor Nellie got such ducking
With terror her heart almost froze.
But when it came time to haze Clara
Stout Mary betrayed the faint heart;
For Claras fine muscular makeup
Caused vigor and vim to depart.
Now [ fear you have all denounced Mary,
And felt, Girls not what they seem"
Well, you'd better take back your rash judgment.
I've just been relating a dream.

makes its ruins all the more sorrowful.
Alas these ruins bespeak not the glories of the
past, its triumphs its Civilizations. Neither do
they tell of its disappointments or its struggles

A YELLOW ROSE.

In half-forgotten paths it grows,
In hollows fraught with memories,
A yellow rose
That blithesome blows,
And sways to every passing breeze.
The honey-bee It's fragrance knows,
The wild bird sings Its minstrelsies;
In Swallowed ways
1t vagrant, stays,
And rambles over scented leas.
On every country roadway blooms
The pink wild rose, and sweet perfumes
The summer sky;
But ah. we know, where'er it goes,
A CLEAN of sunlight fingers nigh
The yellow rose.

The supreme council of the Royal
Arcanum has decided not to alter the
new rates as fixed by the Atlantic
City convention, except to make it
a little easier for a man owe sixty
five years of age to pay his dues.
But, in the long run, this amounts to
the same thing. Now, the question
arises, what is to be the outcome?
Are the great majority of members
going to abide by this decision and
keep the organization intact, or are
they going to drop out, commence
legal proceedings, and the like, to
disrupt the society? If anything is
to be done along this line, the soon
err it is accomplished the better sc
that those who want to belong to a
sound insurance order can get out
without spending any more money
A few months more will tell.
