ri is certainly privilege and q pleas
ure at commencement time to meet and
greet those who had come to little old
MiddIebury in the bygone years to pre-
pare themselves for their life work,
lived here the simple, unaffected life,
characteristic Of this particular fountain
Of knowledge, and gone on refreshed
and equipped to help in the grand drama
Of the outer world. The faces that were
so familiar on the campus and down
the walks of tho town years ago have
changed to some extent, but after all
they have changed but little; and the

fellow today. His old friends would
find IL hard to salute him by the real
title he bears in the larger world. De-
casionally a slip of the tongue brings

no damage is done thereby; it is easy
to presume that Jim is the same good

THE GROWTH OF THE VACATION
IDEA.


The upper New England states, Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont, seem in
fair way to reap harvest OF gold the
present summer in view of the fact that
the summer resort traffic is at present
fully twenty per cent. better than 1t
was during the corresponding period last
year. That. too, in spite Of the fact that
the country last winter and early spring
went through session Of industrial
depression that had not been upon it
for years. The vacation habit is grow
ing stronger with each year, sweeping
people into its vortex who heretofore had
never considered it necessary, let alone
possible. Tor them to relinquish their
work for two, three or four weeks, and,
with their families, 60 to the recreation
resorts. In that respect we are drifting
toward an old England ideal of living,
in which people refuse to be driven by
their work. but persist in having their
pleasure even If they have to sacrifice
some of the emoluments OF work. 1t
must result inevitably in the stacking

United states is constantly revolvingi
but the sum total o. human happiness
will have become added to thereby and

consequence. let the vacation idea

The results Of the first Black Hand

onstrated that Vermont is not fertile
field for the exercise of the BLACK Hand
method Of securing something for moth

that the first trying.out of the scheme
was attempted on corporation rather

ment, the threat on ones life, was thus
eliminated. AS is well known, the sue

If Joseph q Jones had not had the
majority OF the delegates with him in
his aspirations to be states attorney,
the speech of the Brandon man, full Of
uncalled for and unparliamentary per
sonalities, would have given him the
majority. The average man is fair and
is Disguised when nasty personal things
are brought in in the attempt to defeat
a candidate. The only reason DR.. Peek's
ill.considered and iIl-natured remarks in
opposition to MFR. Jones did not succeed
in getting him the nomination at the
county convention was that he had it
elinehed anyway. But DR.. Peck was

Our autumn and winter hats are ready for inspection. Let us impress it upon you, first of all, that it's the tailor-made hats that retain their shape; the hand cut and hand-finished hats which give ladies the consciousness of being properly attired. So far as the ready hats are concerned, the kind which become grostesque in a week or two of wear, we know nothing about them and must re- fer you elsewhere if your taste runs that way.
 Our autumnal hats distinctly point the way to the correct fashion. They are quality hats in fabric, workmanship and de- sign. Some of them, particular ly for younger ladies, may be called extremes, yet they are original and dignified, they are distinctive. individual. classy and chic. Mrs. M. M. TEAL.

The season of 1908 8O9 opened auspiciously last evening under the new management, with the presentation of Clarence Bennets biblical drama "The Holy City" to a full house.
 The management would have to look long and searchingly for a better play with which to open the season. If the succeeding plays that appear at the local theotre live up to the example set by the company which pre- sented The Holy City," we pre- dict a prosperous season for Messrs. Gordon and Morgan.

TIE MASTER KEY THAT vulocks.

The door that leads to success is business education. Success is achieved by the one who sees clearly the goal of his object and goes straight to it. Ability has never yet lacked opportunity, neither has it remained undiscov- cred. A great many business men are anxious to secure the services of a good book-keeper, stenographer, or a general office assistant. To meet the busi- ness man 8 requirements, the ap- plicant must be thorough and practical. To this end and aim we put forward our, best, efforts and because of our good, teach ing and superior methods we give our students a better training in three or four months than they can get at other schools in five and six months. Bear in mind, it is only a few steps from Hills Business College to a good pay ing position. Everything is high grade and right up to date. With
