Doinu A Good Service.

The Vermont Union Signal of Rut-
land, of which Philip j. Halvosa is edi-
tor, is engaged in novel undertaking.
Two issues ago The Signal made refer
ence to report of an alleged scandal in
the conduct OF certain people in the
house of correction at Rutland and de
manded that the authorities take some
cogniZance of the alleged facts. Now
the Vermont prison comm issioners have
granted permission to the contemporary
to investigate, at its will, any and all
phases of the affair; and that work the
editor is now doing. IT the first report
of the affair is found to be correct, then
The Signal will be doing good ser
vice in bringing the thing to light. If,
on the contrary, the allegations are dis
proved, an equally commendable thing
will have been done as i'll that case a
pernicious report will be silenced. Thus
far the head OF the institution has placed
at the disposal of the investigator what
ever data he has asked for and Editor
Halvosa promises to use No fear or favor
in his undertaking, intending to give
the house of correction square deal
and also to refrain from using the
whitewash brush. 1t will be a good job
done in any event..-Barre Times.

A Boys Vacation.

A novel booklet has Just been issued
by the Grand Trunk Railway, entitled
"What shall a boy do with his Vacation. :"
The book answers this annual puzzle in
manner that should prove satisfactory
alike to parents and boys. The idea
developed by the brochure is the estab-
lishments of boys camps in the wilder
ness, where the youngsters could live I'M
der canvas and get genuine bit of sim
pie life, with plenty of fishing, swim
ming, rowing and other outdoor sports,
while instruction in woodcraft and such
nature studies make the camps veritable
schools of the Willis, such as would r..
joce the hearts of DR.. Long, President
Roosevelt or other advocates of the SIM
pie life. The booklet tells of many such
camps in the Temagami, Lake of Bays,
Algonquin Park and other districts, with
Illustrations of the way the boys spend
their time and the fish they catch, which
should prove attractive to good many
besides boys. A postal card to the un.
der>igned will secure a copy withou,
