BIG PUBLISHING ''STUNT"

With the possible exception Of
one, no other book published runs
into such large editions as the tele-
phone directory. Neither does any
other represent the same amount OF
incessant labor, and none is more
accurate. Though mistakes are Ii
able to creep into every human pro-
duction in spite OF every .precaution,
the telephone directory is acknowl-
edged to be more free from them
than any other list of names COM
piled. 49,. ......
The telephone directory is one OF
the most important adjuncts to good
telephone service. AS the telephene
system grew, not only in the num-
Der of people who made use Of it
but in the number of times each
person employed it, obviously it be-
came impossible for operators to
keep the run. of subscribers by name.
To attempt to do so would not only
make all sorts of chances for errors,
but would seriously reduce the
quickness of the service.
So for the convenience of the large
body OF telephone users-there are a
quarter of a million regular subscrib-
ers alone now in the four northern
New England states-and for the
sake of uniformly good service, the
New England company was COM
PEELED several years ago to establish
the practice among its operators that
they should not undertake to dc
their work by name, so to speak,
but must be told the number of the
telephone with which connection
was wanted. .- o.. .. ~ 49,

Catherine A. Townsend.

Mrs. Catherine Dow Townsend,
aged 76 years, died Friday, Sep
TENDER 6, at the Townsend
farm, where she had lived for 43
years. The funeral service was held
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev.
Joseph Hamilton officiating, and in
torment was in Highland cemetery
at West Woodstock.
Catherine A. Dow was born in
Weston, VT, Dec. l6, 1921. Her
father, Stephen Dow, of Hollis, N.
H., was son of Stephen Dow, Sr.'
and his grandfather, Reuben Dow, a
captain in the Continental army,
participated in the Battle of Bunker
Hill. His name is inscribed with
those of the other illustrious patriots
upon the tablet of Bunker Hill Mon
ument. The Dow family came from
England to America in 1880.
Mrs. Townsend's mother, Mehita-
BILE Hall, was directly descended from
the Pooles, an ancient and honorable
English family, who derived their
name from the lordship OF manor of
Poole, in the county of Chester,
where the family was seated as early
as the reign of Henry III. The
family was divided into several
branches, one of which settled III
Ireland, where they are still lords of
the manor. Several of the English
branches are represented by names
notable in the history of the empire.
OF the American branches one, Eliz-
abeth Poole, is mentioned as the
founder Of Taunton, Mass Another,
Capt John Poole, was distinguished
in the War Of King Philip.
Mrs. Townsend's parents moved to
Groton, Mass, when she was quite
young, and soon afterward removed
to Reading, VT, where she married
the late Rufus Townsend Jan. %,
1858. Two children, who now-live
at the homestead, were born to them
D. and Abbie E. In 1864
they moved here to the farm which

AS soon as the names Of the lead
ing Vermont Republicans who at
tended the reception of Governor
Hughes were printed, it was seen
that no prominent federal office
holders were present. The collector
of the port of Burlington, who was
assistant secretary of the navy not
long ago, was very conspicuous by
his absence. 1t would be decidedly
premature, therefore, to say that the
Vermont Fish and Game league had
captured Vermont for Gov. Hughes,
Gov. Fletcher Proctor, however, has
no hesitation in saying that there is
a very strong feeling in favor Of the
New York executive throughout the
Green Mountain state, and the son
probably speaks for the Proctor fam
lily in thus venturing to add impetus
to the Hughes movement If Sena-
tor Proctor and his son, the gov
ernor, should decide to support
Hughes, would there be the tail
feathers of chance left for any

A Roman Poet Presented to Mod
ern Readers.

The Elm Tree Press will publish
shortly book of about $50 pages,
presenting the story and certain por-
tons of the writings of Horace. 1t
will contain an introduction by the
editors, DR., Charles L. Dana and Mr..
John Cotton Dana, in which is given
a short sketch of the life of the poet,
his habits, his friends, his homes,
and his more familiar deities, and his
mistresses. 1t is illustrated with
sketch maps of ancient Italy and the
Roman world, showing the country
where he lived and the places about
which he sang; also with illustra-
tions of his native town, Venusium,
for which special photographs have
been obtained. There are repro
duced also several portraits of Hor-
ace and of his friends. The aim, in
fact, has been to give the reader an
idea of the times and environment of
Horace, since only in this way can
his poetry be appreciated. In the
story of his life there are incorpo-
rated selections from his letters and
satires which bear upon this topic
and along with them are the short
tales which are scattered through
the writings of the poet. These have
been collected and in part illus
trated.
The body of the text consists of
about sixty odes of Horace, trans
lated by various eminent hands,
showing the interest of Horace, and
the poetical skill of such men as
Jonson, Milton, Cowley, Dryden,
Pope, Cowper, byron and many 9th
ers, whose names are familiar in
English literature. Some of the odes
are illustrated with the quaint en-
blemata of Otto VENUS.

Placing the Soldiers Monument.

Editor Of the Age:
A great amount Of wind and talk
has been spent in regard to the plac-
ing Of the soldiers monument. The
committee chosen by the G.. A. R.
Post voted, 5 to 2, to place it at the
lower end of the park, Judge Seaver
and myself being in the minority. 1
believe the act of the village was a
wise one in voting not to have it
there; and no disrespect to old SOL
diers, but rather voicing the senti-
ment of majority of the old sol
diers of this town and village. And
I see no good reason why the town
and those people who have sub
scribed largely toward the monu-
ment should not have a voice in
placing it. don't think they would
place it in the center Of Elm street
and make people drive around it.

The Station at White River Juno
ton.

White River Junction has not the
worst railway station on earth; the
dreadful distinction Of being the
worst on earth belongs to station
not here named, which lacks the
functions ameliorating influences OF
stuffed doughnuts, apple pie with
cheese, and courteous walters. But
simply as station; as a place to get
in, to get away from, to board your
train if you can find it to resume
your train if you haven't lost it, to
change cars if your cars haven't
changed themselves-as station the
junction enterprise surpasses imagl-
nation in changes, discomfort, en-
tanglement and mystery, No en-
gineer could have devised such an
institution; it surpasses mans pow
ers of construction as easily as it does
the travellers powers Of comprehen-
sion. The Junction simply grew.
First there was a railroad there, sim
pie, observable, approachable. Then
came other railroads, and then chaos
and the Junction was with us. It's
not a place, but a thing, jungle,
where countless engines rush where
they will and drag after them with
shorts of pleasure long trains of cars
full of resigned and detected travel
ers; resigned because they are leav-
ing the place; detected because they
are quite sure they are on the wrong
train.
Why not signs? Why not two or
three uniformed guides? Why not
anything to solve for travellers the
wearing doubts which three sets of
entangled tracks, all alike to the
hurried eye, seven lines of cars and
a general babel always arouse? The
reason this disgraceful place is left
as i is, is that the railways rule and
will accommodate the public only
when they please. Where is our
Peerless Proctor, the greatest in the
royal line? Has he left his marble
quarry to consider his State since he
became its ruler? Will he turn his
eye for moment on this station, one
of the most important of the,gate-
ways in Vermont, and have it so
improved that the traveller can ap-
proach it without fear of sudden
death and can leave it for Windsor
without dread of soon being in Leb-
anon?
