WEST POINT ROUTINE.
Our National Military Academy is No
Place for Lazy Boys

In nearly every case the boy who
wishes TO go to West Point must put in

compared with what is before him in
case he succeeds in entering the acad-

place for lazy or stupid boy He is
aroused at 8 o'clock in the morning, has
a stated number of minutes in which to
wash and dress himself, a few more min
utes in which to aid his roommate in
setting the little apartment to rights.
Let the boy who wishes TO go to West
Point gaze around his room at home and
see how 1t looks. Then let him under
stand that at the academy a scrap of pa
per on the floor, or any other untidness,
will bring about punishment that affects
his standing in his class As quickly as
he can possibly get his room tidy the bu-

BIG, BLOOMING CATTLE SHOW.
Athol Transcript Man Evidently Enjoyed
Valley Fair But Had Strenuous Rail-
road ENperience

road Experience.
The Valley Fair at Bratteboro drew
large attendance from Athol, especially
on Wednesday, when 100 tickets were
sold. At the Orange station 40 people
took the train, and from stations below
over hundred more went All these
people had pretty strenuous time Of it
getting TO BrattleborO, and especially
getting back. The railroad accommo-
dations were wholly inadequate to COM
Portable passage. The chief trouble was
encountered on the Central Vermont road
on the return. Hundreds of local people
took the LOS regular train from Brattle
boro expecting to get home about 6, but
this train was held up at South Vernon
Junction for over two mortal hours in
order to accommodate a few people on
tho White Mountain express who wanted
to connect at the junction for New Lon
don and New York. Thus hundreds of
people were disconnected seriously to
oblige a half dozen tourists. The G
O'Clock special from Brattleboro with
many more passengers reached Millers
Falls little after the regular and thus
many hundreds of passengers were
thrown upon the resources of the I p. m
train east on the b. & NJ. road which
was late, and not expecting to handle the
crowds of both trains at once. The con-
sequence was a tremendous glut of pas
sengers anxious to get that very train,
and the crush for seats was something
overwhelming The cars were packed to
the limit every inch of standing room, in
the aisles the platforms, the baggage
rooms and steps being taken up. We are
not sure but few rode on the cow
catcher. 1t was lucky enough that no
accidents occurred. We were just 5R
hours making the 25-mie journey from
Brattleboro to Athol, and were on board
cars all that time except the Is minutes
wait at Milers Falls. Scores of people
had to stand up all that time, too. 1t
was a very tired and hungry and swear
full crowd that crawled out of those cars
at Athol at $50 o'clock. Still. we allow
it was a blooming big cattle show[-Athol

That modern dentistry is but the re-
vlval of science known at least a half
century before Christ is the claim of an
Italian savant, Professor CALI, who cites
as proof of his claim a skull which has
been found in the ancient Etruscan city
of Falerii. The skull in question shows
on one of the jaws four gold pieces, two
OF which were used to cover natural
teeth, and the other pieces served .as
false teeth, or, in other words, bridge
work. This shows that the Etruscans,
like the Americans of today, did not
object to showing gold -covered teeth.

A Stump for the Times.

The Barre Times suggestion that Gov.
Proctor be renominated next year is a
good one, He has made one OF the best
governors that Vermont has ever had
and his support for a reelection would
be pretty near unanimous, outside of a
few interests which think they have been
more or less badly used because they
could not have their own sweet way.
Now let the Times use its eloquence in
persuading the governor to accept a re-
nomination He has not, so far as
known, declared against a second term.

Last Saturday afternoon move was
started to get subscription for secur.
ing the location of an acadamy at Hot
Springs, such as the Dakota Wesleyan
University has concluded to locate in
the Hills. There was some quick work
done and,by evening $3.50 had been
subscribed, and the town not half cam
vassed. The committee on location
was to meet at DeadwoOd Monday. s.
E Wilson, II. II. Jtlckett and G. q. Far
go represented Hot Springs, and the
! soliciting committee continued hust-
ling Monday. In the afternoon they
were enabled to telegraph the Dead
| wood committee that they had $4,000
and were reasonably safe in assuring
SGOOO This with other contributions
will make very hattering bonus that
Hot Springs offers, and the subscrip-
tions are made "for any denomination
or organization that will establish and
maintain an academy" SO that
should this attempt fail, our town may
encourage some other organization to
locate here.
The people of Hot Springs were
mostly very generous in their subscrip-
tions There must be nearly $1,000
more subscribed and it is hoped that
the few who have as yet done nothing,
or not been seen, will protfer assis-
tance. Ii should not be necessary to
urge or argue the question with any
one who desires to do something for
the uplifting and upbuilding of Hot
Springs. We believe anybody stands
in their own light who fails to help Sc
cure such an institution. The ques-
tion of location is still unsettled. AS
to the result of the Deadwood meeting
the following from the Deadwood Pic
neer- Times explains the matter fully:
"Although no decision has been
reached yet, it seems probable that
either Whitewood or Hot Springs will
secure the academy that the Metho-
dist church proposes establishing in

A Arribute to Congressman Burke.

In its issue of Friday, the Washing
ton Times prints fine picture of
Charles h. Burke, congressman from
South Dakota, who will retire on the
4th of next March. Among other
comments, the Times says:
Charles H. Burke, one of the two re-
publican congressman from South Da-
kota, is winding up congressional ca.
reer, which has been of eminent service
to his state. He has served ten years,
and might have served longer.
"Burke has been popular and pro-
gressive congressman, and there was
no personal objection to him. He was
victim of good political trait, that
of standing by his friends, and he is a
philosopher, who knows how to take
medicine, even when it is bitter. He is
young enough to be patient and await
the turn of the of tide, when he may
come back as sena tor.
"He is a business man, who only
went into politics to make sure that
his town of Pierre was made the cap
ital of the new state. To do this he
became asstate senator, and naturally
drifted deeper iuto politics, finally
comingto Washington. He will return
to South Dakota when his term ends
and the fact that lie is saying little is
taken to me all he will do much when
it comes to another scrap"

Deadwood and Rev. Atwater we're pres
ent at the meeting that was held in
the Gilmore hotel parlors.
''The claims of each town for the
building were separately presented
and required the attention OF the
meeting for several hours. \ stenog-
rapher was present and took a report
of the meeting in short hand which
was ordered reduced to writing
''Ihen the following plan was adopt
ed: DR. Nicholson was given charge of
the reports from each town. He will
lay them before the executive board of
the university at Mitchell and also be-
fore Bishops Wilson and Hamilton
who have taken keen interest in the
academy and no immediate decision
will be reached, but each report will be
carefully gone over. Later another
meeting will be called and final decis-
ion reached.
"The committee did, howe yer. decide
one point, namely, that the academy
should be at some point in the Black
Hills. After hearing all the reports
it was decided to leave the selection to
one of two towns, Whitewood or Hot
Springs, unless future developments
should make an alteration of this plan
practical.
"The building to erect will cost, it is
estimated, about sl5,OOO and besides
that the Methodists require at least 10
acres of ground. Deadwood offered a
site but no money, while Whitewood
offered s. guaranteed sum of $4,000
and a site, both of which are require
ments enacted by the committee.'
