state Eiremcn's Association VIII Go
There if Wantrd--No Tournament

Montpelier, March S.-The executive
committee Of the State Fireman's associa-
ton met here to-day with II. o. Kent
the State president to discuss the feasible
ity of holding Il state tournament this
year and to fix the time ana place for
holding the annual meeting of the assoc
citation. The chief engineers of this city
and Barre and their assistants met with
the committee. No definite action was
taken on propositions. If Morrisvile
would care to have the annual meeting of
the association this year it will probably
be held in that village at a date to be later
announced. President Kent will core
spond with the chief engineer of that vii
lage in regard to the annual meeting and
also regarding holding tho tournament
there if it is decided to so ahead with one.
The sentiment to-day was not strong for
tournament this year

Two More Circuit Courts

The bill which was before the
legislature for the purpose of
giving some relief to the legal
business in those counties where
the dockets have been very bad
ly crowded has passed both
houses and will no dobbt receive
the signature of the governor.
The bill .places Lowdnes county
in the judicial district just south
of us and gives to the other
counties in the district the six
weeks which Lowdaes has here
tofore had. Lee county gets two
of these weeks which will be
used in two courts to. be held on
the third Mondays of May and
November of each year. The
bill goes into effect June 1st so
will have no May term this year.
No grand juries will be organized
at the May and November terms.
With these additional courts, re-
lief will be given to the crowded
condition of our dockets on the
civil side, the time of out courts
now being almost entirely taken
up with the criminal business.

SHANNON.

One of the most interesting
events that has transpired at
this place recently was the clos
ing exercise of the Shannon Gra-
ded School April 5th inst.
The teachers had lost no time
from their daily routine of labor
in the preparation of this exer-
else but due to we'll cultivated
memories of the students, they
had prepared at intervals and
submitted to visitors a very de-
lightful programme.
A number of dialogues and
recitations were said, one recita-
ton entitled Jim" deserves
special mention, reaited by Sallie
May Lauderdale; in this repro
duction she displayed remark
able talent.
The stage was decorated in
red white and blue and the ap-
propriate National Airs" were
sung by all pupils present.
The tedium of the day was
further .garded against by the
rendering of classical selection
of music by Misses Lowe Rine
Whitesides and Beth Lauderdale.
The appreciation of the teach
ers were attested by the sump-
tious dinner sent out by the pat
rons and was carefully arranged
by Mrs. r. M. Francis and the
pupils. All present enjoyed a
treat Of banans, given by Prof.
thompson.

STUDENTS NEED MUCH SLEEP
Number Of Hours by Which the Best
Results Are Obtained.

Mothers know that the newborn
that this amount is SO slowly lessened
that the child still demands II hours
when it is about II years old 1t is
quite likely that the normal amount
is not reduced TO ten hours until
about s years of age or perhaps until
2 years Nine hours may be required
until well along in years,
70 let boys of IA sit up until ten
o'clock and then rout them out at six
is nothing short of criminal, but it is
long established custom. Lower AMI
mails can be quickly killed by depriv
ing them OF sleep--the boy is not
killed, but perhaps he is SO exhausted
that he loses resistance to disease
Medical students not nfrequently
make the same mistake, forgetting
that tired brain never absorDs any
thing. The midnight oil frequently
represents wasted time and money
and the student sleeps during the
next days lectures when he should
be wide awake A good test Of ex
haustion is the tendency TO sleep
during a dry lecture-and this is no
joke.
Experience has proved that those
who retire in time to sleep at least
nine hours and occasionally ten, get
far more out Of their course than the
II aZ ,f
habitually take ten hours, Theoret
ically student should be as fresh
at the end Of the term as at the be
ginning-the vacation is for another |
purpose than sleep. The whole sub |
iect, though very old, is so new to |
the laymen who do the damage TO
school boys. particularly in boarding
schools that there is urgent need OF
wider publicity and much discussion
for enlightenment. Not only will
proper sleep permit more 10 be gained
for less effort, but it will prevent the
eNhaustions which SO frequently fol

Physicians might teach mothers
that it is harmful to waken children
Of any age-they should waken in the

twoyear-old tilly. The flly was the

the only time Little Pearls OF Gal
lantry started the young critic
took occasion to chide the gen.
tleman who hung that title on the

remarks he undertook to name the
future product OF the ranch whence
came Little Pearls of Gallantrv.
Among the names he suggested were
Little Things to Think About. Little
Jars of Marmalade. Little Bales OF
Timothy. Lizzie Is NV Hat on

and such. The Texan could not have
been more aggrieved had he been ac
