lie aRErr MEDAL
Awarded BY Vote Of Student Body at
Vermont Academy

The gold medal which Horace H.
Squire, a freshman at the University
Of Vermont, win receive this week is
a beautiful and costly example of the
goldsmiths art; but its owner will
value it more for its associations than
for its monetary worth. For he, by
unanimous vote of the students of
Vermont Academy, was last spring
chosen 10 be the recipient of the Bar
rett medal
The Hon John Barrett, formerly
United States minister to Colombia,
now secretary of the bureau of Amer
lean republics, was a Vermont Acad-
envy boy in the old days of DR.. Will
lard. Two years ago, at the annu-
al commencement dinner of the acad-
envy he announced that he would
give each year a gold medal suitably
inscribed to the student who In the
opinion of the undergraduate had ac
complished the most for the advance
ment of the athletic interests of the
school. The following year Thomas

awarded a Barrett medal and last
spring Squire, the weight thrower and
football man, was thus honored
The medal, which bears the figure
of a crowned athlete under the acad-
envy motto upon the diverse side, and
is Inscribed with the name of the re.
cipient upon the reverse, is, according
to the terms of the gift awarded by
vote of the student body. A commit
tee of three members, one from each
of the three literary societies OF the
school, makes all nominations and in
with the principal super
vises the election. All round achieve
ment is the basis of selection; athletic
ability, scholarship, and zeal for the
promotion of the best in athletics are
all necessary for the candidate The
donor believes that athletics are a
adjunct of school life and
that clean athletics and high scholar
ship should go hand in hand. Yer
mont academy offers many prizes to
its students for scholarship, for lit
erary abilities and FOR athletic victor
les; but no other is valued so highly
by its fortunate possessor as the Bar
rett medal for all round achievement.

the way the business lie done, at
the views Of his employer, at the
stock, at the buyers, at you because
you are contented and want to do
your full duty. He has no conf
dence in any motive, anything or
anybody.
He sneers at morality, at saving,
at sentiment, at charity, at kind
words and deeds, even at the
sacredness Of the home. He would
sheer at the blue sky if the blue
sky would pay any attention to
him-but it doesn't. There is
only one thing to do with the man
who sneers. Throw him away.
You may not be able to throw
him out of the store or the factory
or Office, but you can throw him
out of your life. Don't listen to
him. Ignore him. He Is going
around with his lips tainted with
poison to disturb you, to fill you
with suspicion and discomfort and
ugly thoughts. He is only tearing
down, never building up. He is
not capable of any grand, noble
emotions.-Bushville American.

The World is ALL

Yes, the world is all right. Your
trouble all lies within your own
self. This seems hard to believe
at first, but it is true nevertheless
Perhaps someone whom you
thought was a friend has treated
you badly in some way. Suppose
he has cheated you, lied to you OF
talked badly about you to some
one else. Go on your way and
pay no attention to it. Do not lei
it bother you. The fault is his,
not yours, and if you refuse to
worry about it, he will suffer fol
it, not you. Let him suffer the
consequence of his own acts. Re-
fuse to help him carry his burdens
Perhaps you are engaged in
some noble work for the benefit 81

feel that your work should be APP
preciated-th your unseTfish acts
should be applauded.
But suppose you are misunder.
stood, your good intentions CUES.

Law Becomes More
MerCifQl.

Even the public vengeance of
the law works more mercifuliy than
of yore. Punishment is being re-
placed by reform. In antique
China criminals are tortured for
the pettiest offenses and are in
aicted with the death penalty on
slightest pretext. But in modern
America, as the English girl re-
marked, we not only are up-to-
date, but up tomorrow. The latest
ideas for penal systems attempt to
educate the offenders of tine law,
to reform them, and, far from tax
ing their lives even for the gravest
crimes, and would do away with
capital punishment and save the
evlldoer to modify his evil proclivi-
ties and give him another chance
to become useful citizen.
One deal succeeds another, and
SO we pass from loftier and loftier
virtues. just as the latest autumn
dress styles of this season will be
old-fashioned next year, so the
good Of one age becomes the evil
of The next, which has evolved
higher standards. The virtues of
civilization we have outgrown we
now call vices. And many of our
own present ideals will diminish
into pettiness by the nobler COM
ing race. It is by there progress
sive ideals of goodness. by the pro-
gressive virtues we develop, that
we are waited upward out of the
animals we are, out of the human
beings we are, into the divine men
we shall be.-Labor Digest.

The Man Who Sneers.

Ever since the world began, no
great task. has been undertaken or
reform big or little inaugurated
but there has Immediately arisen
and stood by, the man who sneers.
The man who sneers! He is older
than history. He sneered at Col
umbus. He sneered at Socrates
and made him drink the poison at
last. He sneered at Calico and
his great discoveries. He has de-
cried every effort to purify politics
and improve conditions of govern
ment. No matter where you go,
you are certain to find him, and
he is always busy at his calling,
that of sneering.
He does even more. He sees
Incompetence and insincerity and
hypocrisy in every phase of life.
When we say that we have faith
in the great, throbbing heart of the
human race, he sneers at us be-
cause we want to believe in the
best things. All around as is the
man who sneers. You know him,
He is in every Office, every store,
every department. He sneers vi

In Life'S Battle.

We hear much of the struggles,
.hardships and sufferings endured
by the soldiers Of war. When we
have those near and dear to us
among the warriors we often dis
cuss their dangers with bated
breath. But, after ell, war is not

toned. Suppose you are ham,
pered, prosecuted, villified. Do
not be weak enough to let this
bother you. Go right on With
your work. If you are really doing
good, you have nothing to worry
about. Your enjoyment is de-
rived from the consciousness of
doing good, not from the apprecia-
ton of others. Ifothers misunder-
stand you, that is their mistake, not
yours. Let others suffer for their
own faults, but do you refuse to
suffer with them.
The world is all right. Nature
is smiling on you. Return her
smile and be happy. Everywhere
the sun is shining, the birds are
singing, the grass is growing, the
skies are radiantly blue. Every
where people are going about with
sympathy in their hearts, with
kindness in their eyes. The world
is running over with JOY, and the
people in it are not nearly as bad
as thew seem. Do not close your
eyes to the beauty of the world, or
refuse to listen to the grand sym
phonies of nature because some
one is mistaken about you.
And do not make yourself miser-
able by sitting in judgment upon
the conduct of other people. Do
not expect others to live according
to your ideas of right and wrong.
Perhaps it would not be best. Do
not expect the jackass to walk up
right just because you do; it would
spoil his usefulness.
Happiness does not depend up
on our surroundings. It is an in.
ternal condition. The pauper has
just as good chance to be happy
as the millionaire. The priest has
no better chance to be happy than
the peasant. We find misery In
the mansions of the rich. We
find happiness in the novels of the
poor.
The germ of that life which is
the only source of happiness lies
within the soul of man. Money
and friends may contribute to
happiness, but they are not neces-
sary to it. Patience, charity for
others, interest in ourselves and
the world about us, contentment-
these are the qualities that make
happiness.
Persistently, calmly, heroically
striving to better our own condi-
ton and that of others will make
for happiness.
The world is not bad; it is good.
If there seems to be something
wrong with the world, it is because
you are not in harmony with it.
When you are right, when you
think right, act right and live right,
you will realize that the world is
all right, and the trouble is all
within your own little self. BY
M. i. Gates.

the congregation used to Join in
songs of praise. We stopped and
talked among ourselves-six OF us
who should first go into that
yard never to return. Still closer
were the loved ones drawn, and still
warmer beat the hearts beneath
our homespun suit of gray. We
had laughed and talked on the way
out, years ago, and as the team
stood there by that silent grave
yard, and light drifted over the
moon, so did cloud drift over the
hearts.
A year after that time, another
party visited the little graveyard.
One of the six was going home.
The sun shone forth coldly, as does
the affection of some we call
friends-to mock the scene. We
went slower, fourteen years ago,
than we did fifteen, bat there were
more of us. One of the six was
riding alone, and no warm cheek
could drive the cold from hers.
The road was as smooth, but we
drove more carefully. We passed
the church without stopping-on
to the little yard beyond. An open
gate-a dark spot beyond-a silent
gathering about grave-tears and
sobs-a prayer uncovered heads
"a lowering of one of the six where
on one could take the wishes of
her heart from lips closed forever
"a dull, heavy, rafting sound-a
benediction-a return.
Thirty years since, we drove
home on that road slower than to-
day-and thirty years since, as
night came on before home was
reached a star arose in the east.
Then [ knew the soul of one I
loved had gone home to God, and
as pure a pearl as the sun ever saw
had been set in a glorious crown.
The sun has set many times
since, but the star has never gone
down. The sun has set in GOODNESS
in warmth-in most glorious
splendor-and even shut itself out
from us for days together, bat I
always see that star, and it is always
the same as was the soul of her
who felt no more fear, when called
home, than when riding in that
old family sleigh years since.
Still there! I have been out to
look upon it, and now, as years
since, that star is just above the
hill, as bright as .ever-and the
church is the same land the old
hills the same and the night the
same and the sky the same and
my heart the same, still looking
and reaching into the future and
containing blessed loves and friend

the soldier is but little more haz-
ardous than that of the average
citizen actively engaged in some of
the trades.
The government assures the
soldier of clothing to wear and
food to eat. He knows where his
next meal will come from. He
need not bother about the future
or prepare for it. He can go thru
life without the worries which be-
set every soldier in the great bat
tie of life. The soldier in LIES
battle does not fight IN the same
way as does the soldier of war, but
often he has a more terrible fight
for existence than the soldier of
war is ever compelled to endure.
He may have wife and little
children who must. be fed and
maintained in comfort. From one
day to another he may not know
where the necessary funds are to
come from. Can you tell me that
the soldier of war, who simply
risks his life, confronts danger
half SO terrible, 80 heart rending,
SO soul torturing as this?
No! The warrior may require
great courage, may require manli-
ness, but there is more courage,
more manllness, more strength of
will, more determination demanded
in life's great battle than is needed
by the soldier of war.
To be sure, there are times when
warriors are subject to most severe
trials, when their courage is tested
to the very utmost; but such times
are not by any means frequent,
and even upon those occasions the
mortality percentage is usually
marvelously low. Many may be
killed and wounded in a furious
battle, but such battles occur only
at rare intervals.
But turn to the battle of life,
and you will find that many times
it becomes most intense and deadly.
You will find occasions when you
are compelled to suffer mental and
sometimes physical agony many
times greater than has ever been
endured by any soldier in any war.
The average soldier in LIES
great battle is not freed from his
duties early in life. He must con-
tinue his struggles to the end.
Tho after all this end is usually
brought on prematurely by his in
tense and often misdirected efforts.
!. The battle OF life wages furiously
at all times. 1t goes on with re-
lentless, even cruel, energy, stop
ping neither for you nor for me.
We must take part in it, even tho
we perish. We were born to this
strife; we fill orr place in the ranks
and share the struggle; then we
