instantly acknowledge we can never rival
or approach, but the sublime ideas which
they inculcate, the truth concerning re-
sponsibility and destiny, the connection
between character and fate, the moral
meaning of the universe as it reveals
itself to the apprehension of the human
sou, all these reflections tend to make
us men and women who can live together
and work together for common ends,
with common aspirations and ideals. 1t
is because library may have this effect
on community that the dedication of
it becomes a civic event of the first
magnitude. worthy to call men together
from the absorbing tasks of life, and
worthy TO call the highest officers of city
and state to signalize and honor the
occasion.
Blessed are the poor in spirit" said
the wisest teacher that ever spoke. And
if these shelves of books have any mis-
sion, it is to fulfill that beatitude in the
lives Of their readers. When men lose
their narrow.minded confidence that
their personal views must necessarily be
right; when they enlarge the borders of
their minds for the reception of other
mems ideas; when they recognize the
supremacy of truth and take for their
motto, Not authority for truth. but
truth for authority" when they become
charitable and tolerant towards their
neighbors, hospitable to new conceptions.
watchfu for self Improvement, ready to
sink their private interests in the COM
mon good; then they become the mate
rial out of which a great and lasting
nation may be built. This is the use of
books,-not to make scholars, but to
make citizens; not to make book worms
but to make men, not to increase the
pride Of learning, but to foster that fine
humility of spirit which is the FIRST con-
dition to the fulhllment OF all wholesome
ideals of knowledge and power. II the
library we dedicate with so much pride
and hopefulness today shall some day
justify that hopefulness and pride, it will
be because, by fostering that spirit, it
ministered TO those ideals.

An Old Illinois Decision.
OF Interest TO People Disturbed by Sporers


The case of Joseph Albis of Springfield,
Mass, who was forcibly elected from his
boarding house by his landlord because
he snored, will recall to the minds of our
readers. we are sure, and more especially
to the minds of those of them who are
members of the legal profession, a SIM
liar case which received a great deal Of
notoriety in its time, and which is re-
ported fully in an early volume of the
Illinois Reports.
This was a case in which Skiffens, the
plaintiff, and Hubble, the defendant,
slept in adjoining rooms, only a thin
board partition dividing them. One
night Hubble was assaulted in bed by
an intruder whom he identified as
Skiffens. On being charged with as
sault Skiffens admitted attacking Hub
BILE in bed, but held that he was justified
in doing so because the latter snored so
through the night as to prevent him
(Skiffens) from getting any sleep. 1t
having been shown by other boarders
that they had lost great deal of rest
because of bubbles snoring. the court
decided in favor of the defendant, hold
ing that no man had right TO make a
noise in his sleep which would prevent
other men from obtaining needed rest.
1t was because of the use of the word
noise that Hubble scored his victory
finally He appealed the case to the SUI
preme court, audit was argued learnedly
before that body for some days. When
! the court took the matter under advise
ment the betting was two to one down
the state that the plaintiff would win,
which led afterward to the rumor that
the position of the supreme court must
have become known in some way through
leakage At all events, when the deci-
sion was handed down it created wide
and deep sensation, for it held that the
contention that snoring was noise could
not be accepted by any thinking,
reasonable man. Snoring" declared
the court, "is music, and there is no law
in this state to prevent a man from
making music in his sleep. The decision
of the lower court is therefore reversed. y
On being questioned by the lawyers for
the defendant as to what kind of music
they had in mind when handing dowr
this decision, the judges unanimously
answered, "Sheet music, of course. -

Our County Jail.

The new county Jail at St. Johnsbury
is completed, is said to be modern and
convenient structure and the residents
are apparently well pleased with it. 1t
is hoped that they will not become too
elated over it and thereby be compelled
to sojourn within its alluring INTERIOR
Montpelier Argus.
The condition is the same as prevailed
in the cemetery association of which the
late Jim" Fisk was a director. When it
was proposed to build a fence around
the cemetery he strenuously opposed it,
declaring that those without didn't want
to get in and those within couldn't get
out.

The attendance in the high school is
larger than usual and other schools
showup large registrations for the first
day, all of which is an indication Of
advancement. Col. George Harvey OF
Harper's Weekly, in his memorial adj
dress at St. Johnsbury, said that lot
more school houses, rather than battle
ships, was what the country needed for
a defence. All agree with him that the
advancement of education is bulwark
of defence and is means to the advance
ment of civilization if we cannot agree
with him that large navy will best
effect peace. We need the well filled
school houses to uplift the morals of the
country and the battleships to make
their voices heard and respected among
the powers of the world Montpelier

Mildred Brewster, who was released
from the State hospital for insane at
Waterbury few months ago, has been
taken back to the asylum probably never
to be released from it again.
She was brought from Hardwick where
she has been since her departure. from the
asylum the sheriff receiving an order for
her recommitment from Judge w. H.
Taylor. Miss Brewster's case was refer
red to Judge Taylor BY Judge A. A. Hall,
who released her from the asylum after a
hearing of the March term of the county
court. He made an investigation and
issued the order mentioned above.
The release of Miss Brewster was made
largely on the plea of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
E. Ross of Hardwick, who promised to
care for and give her good home. 1t is
understood that they found the task far
from pleasant, Miss Brewster becoming
very stubborn. unmanageable and show
ing again the amorous proclivities which
led to the shooting several years ago in
Montpelier Mr. Ross wrote to Judge
Hall several DAYS ago that he and his
wife did not care to be responsible for
Miss Brewster any longer and he left the
matter to Judge Taylor, who ordered
her returned to the asylum.
The return of Miss Brewster to the
asylum confirms the Judgment of Supt.
D. D. Grout OF the asylum, who testified
at the hearing before Judge Hall that
Miss Brewster was not fit person to be
given her liberty.
