An Appeal for 1.-THE Bread Line.

The Bowery Mission bread line, at
which 1000 men who are out IN the streets
for the night are given breakfast Of not
coffee and rolls every morning at ! clock
Is one of the most pathetic sights IN all
the wide. wide world. Long before the
hour OF opening these poor starving men
stand in a single line that sometimes eN'
tends for blocks in length, waiting Tor the
coffee and rolls. During the last winter,
this breakfast was gwen To total OF
IA 900 homeless men and boys. and up to
date nearly half a million of the homeless
have had their weary tramp pstiuly m
terrupted by this unique ministration. The
first of these breakfasts is given on
Thanksgiving morning, and the last on the
| following Easter morning. Altogether the
mission supplied, this year, over 233,uOO
meals and 1902 lodgings to homeless men
and boys.

DELINQUENT JURyMAN SCORED
County Court Closed Long Term at
Newfane Saturday.

A large number OF divorce petitions were
discontinued during the term OF Windham
county court that closed Saturday, ON ac'
count of Judge Seneca Haseltons INSIST
ence that the docket be cleared OF them
in one way or another. Some oil them
had been on the docket long time, anu
rather than have them come 10 trlal they
were withdrawn by the parties, One was
dismissed until the requirements as TO resi-
dence have been complied with and two
were dismissed without prejudice len
divorces were granted. OF these the only
contested case was that of Dora l.. Ben
son of Townshend against Jasper q ben
son which was petition based on an
allegation Of intoerable severity ~ con
sImed three DAYS and was finished Just
before court adjourned. Much interesting
testimony was given in this case, when
Ienliyened the finish OF an otherwise com
paratively uninteresting term. The nine
other cases in which the petitions were
granted were as follows: Georgia T.
| T.ackey of Brattlcboro from George Lack
ey. for refusal to support Mabel n Al
| len Of Newfane from Gilbert a. Aleh,
for intolerable severity; Clara Martin OF

One of the final acts Of Judge Hazelton
was 10 administer sharp reprimand te
Fred Bagley of Somerset, who was drawn
as a iuryman but who failed to answer
the summons.
Early in the term the court noted Tho
absence of Bagley and said that ms cas-
would receive attention later. ouose
quently the court had Bagleys name rea.
and. as he did not respond, Sheriff Arthur
II Thompson, of Bellows Falls, was d
rected to send for him, which the sherlf
did by letter. No attention was paid q

Before an audience which well filed

st. John gave the third of his series OF
lectures on Child Study last Friday
evening. The period discussed was
one of the most interesting in the life
of a child, that between the eighth
and 18th year, commonly known as
the period of boyhood and girlhood.
DIR. st. John began by explaining the
chief characteristics of this PERIOD,
which are slow growth, good health
and bodily vigor, and strong receptive
power of memory. AT this period IN
a child's life the ability to memorize
is marked, and the speaker spoke of
the Importance of making the things
