The record Of the travelling library,
just returned to the state board OF library
commissioners from the states prison at
Windsor, shows a marked degree OF taste
and appreciation Of good books BY the
inmates Of the states prison. No library,
issued by the state, has received better
use. The quality of the library and the
taste Of the readers is shown BY the fact
that the 81 books contained in the library
were read 1172 times, classified as fol-
lowG-Fiction 462, Juvenile 1914, and
miscellaneous 496. Kipling's PUCK Of
Pook's Hill, " was read "a times; Henry
Ward Beecher's lectures. 81 times
Murray's Take ChampIain,'' 80 times
Scott's, "Quentin Durward," S33 times
Stockton's tCasting Away of Mrs. Lecks
and Mrs. Aleshine," 81 times; Macdon-
ais g Malcolm" 81 times; Taylor, "story
of Kenneth" 81 times; Jerome'F, sThree
Men in a Boat, " 81 times. The only vol
ume in the library that was not read at
all was a volume OF poetry.
Mrs. Cranston Owens, wife Of a former
Middlebury physician, administered q
vigorous beating to William Jackson,

was arrested later on q warrant sworn out
by Mr.. Jackson on the charge of assault.
She was placed in the Addison county
jail and 1T q bearing pleaded guilty and
was dned 50 ana costs which she paid.
The trouble grew out Of Mr.. Jackson's at
tempt to collect q bill against Mrs.
the street when the woman appeared be-
hind him with a rawhide whip. She
struck him fully twenty times about the
head and shoulders. Mr.. Jackson made
several unsuccessful attempts to escape.
All Mrs. Ovens would say was that Jack
son during 3 business conversation had
used insulting language to her. This
Mr.. Jackson denied. As both the parties
arc prominent in Middlebury, the affair
has caused much talk.

May Discipline Venezuela.

Wcshington.-The long pending dis
pute with Venezuela is to be placed in
the hands of President Roosevelt for
settlement. The Senate has so decided
and as soon as the formal resolution
giving him full authority has been
passed, he will take it in hand. Recent
ly ratified treaties compel this govern
ment to seek arbitration, but as Vene-
zuela has several times refused to ar
bitrate the claims of American citizens
and companies, there is no doubt that
she will now consent to 1t.
In case President Castro again re-
fuses. Mr.. Roosevelt will have full
power to employ force and he will not
hesitate to do this There is no pros
pect of anything like real war. as a
few shells from an American warship
would bring the Venezuelans to terms,
and hostilties would probably consist
in the landing Of few marines in Ven
ezuelan ports to seize the custom
houses.

Cattle Dipping by inspectors

Denver.-No cattle dipping will here
after be allowed in Colorado unless it
is done under the supervision of a
state or government inspector This
is the order just issued by the State
Board Of Stock Inspection as an amend
ment to that which has been in force
The action of the board has been made
necessary by the attitude of the gov
ernment, which refuses to recognize or
give a clear bill Of health to any cattle
that has not been dipped under the su-
pervision of one of its own inspectors
or one employed by the state. State
Veterinarian Lamb will appoint a large
number Of Inspectors to cover all dis
tricts. selecting those who will work
without charge.

Benefit. Of tho Carey Aet.

Washington, D. C.-Senator Clark
of Wyoming. in submitting q report
from the Senate committee on public
lands in favor of Senate resolution
No. &C, introduced by Senator Warren.
to add 10000 acres of land to Wyom-
ing's quota under the Carey desert
land act, furnished the following in
formation In reference to the opera
tions. of this act in Wyoming:
Under the provisions of this act the
state of Wyoming has already applied
for nearly 100000 acres, and surveys
are now being made and applications
prepared for additional amounts,
which will far exceed the amount orig
inally mentioned in said law The COM
mittee is of the opinion that the oper-
atoms Of the act should not be him
dered or impedsd and that the addi-
tional acreage should be made avail
able.
1.-THE operations of the Carey act in
dealing with the arid lands have been
most beneficial. No person can ac-
quire under this law more than 100
acres and the whole transaction is so
guarded as to insure in the highest
degree honest operation as we'll as the
actual settlement and improvement Of
the land. This law operates to re-
claim tracts of land where the labor
and expense is beyond the means Of
the individual settler and tracts
usually not Of sufficient area to at
tract the attention Of the reclamation
service"

Tied Up the oalIaqhers.

Lightning has played some quesr
pranks, but about the funniest joke
q s,:eak of it ever got off was when
it bumped into old William Gallagher
of Cleveland. Mr.. Gallagher was peace
fully in bed when the bolt hit his
domicile and the fluid completely
wrecked the iron bedstead in which
the old man and his wife were sleep
ing. Worse than that it twisted the
clothes and the iron about the couple
in such curious fashion that they were
actually tied in bed, and, to save them
selves, couldn't get out, while the rain
beat in on them from the wrecked
roof. Finally their shouts brought
the neighbors and Gallagher and Mrs
Gallagher were released from old
Jupiter's iron clutch, wet and scared
and exhausted. The bedstead with
the clothes twisted about its sides is
q curious object Of interest in Cleve-
land to this day.

"The Lowest Order Of Mind"

At recent meeting of New Eng
land college presidents. one of the
most important of them all remarked
that mental arithmetic did not train
a child's mind. and that mathemati-
clan per Sc was incapable of moral
reasoning. Mathematicians might
take notice. remarks Harper's Weekly.
at reminds one" says the writer, 'of
Stiles, the greatest of the Yale mathe-
maticians of his time. He. indeed,
had virtues as well as mathematics
and was the graceful and learned
editor of Garden and Forest. horti-
culturist editor Of the New York Trib-
une and president of the New York
park commission. Once he was i'll
for long time-a very long time
and he used to say that when he be-
came convalescent he discovered that
the mathematical was the lowest
order of mind. He wanted to read:
he tried poetry, and that would not
do: nor would fiction or philosophy or
history-but when he at last tried
mathematics he found that his en-
feebled mind could master that"

Lord Cromer Throws Light on History
of Hero of Sudan.

In his book Modern Egypt" Lord
Cromer. for 20 years the representa-
tive of British authority in the land
of the khedive. gives the other side
of the heroic story of Gen Gordon's
rule in Khartum, where .he was slain
by the fanatical natives. Lord Gro
mer twice rejected the proposal to
send Gordon to the Sudan. Would
he says, that | had done so third
time!" He soon woke to Gordon's
variability. He says: ''1mpulsive
f1ightiness was. in fact, the main de
feet of Gen. Gordon's character, and it
was one which. in my opinion. rem
dered him unfit TO carry out work
which pre-eminenily required cool
and steady head. | used to receive
20 or 80 kilograms from Gen. Gordon
In the course of the day when he was
in Khartum, those in the evening often
giving opinions which it was impos-
sible to reconcile with others dis
patched the same morning
This stream of kilograms from
Khartum was so continuous that Lord
Cromer had to adopt special meth
cd of dealing with them. Il gen
orally found batch of them wait
ing for me when | began my work
in the morning." he says. My prac-
tice was to put them on one side and
wait till the afternoon, by which time
more had generally arrived. l used
then to compare the different tele-
grams to try to extract from them
what it was that Gen. Gordon
really wanted, and then to decide
what could be done toward carrying
out his wishes"
Lord Cromer says, also: "One of
the leading features of Gen. Gordon )
strange character was his total abb
sence OF self-contro He was liable
to fits of ungovernabe and often of
most unreasonable passion. He
formed rapid opinions without delib-
Grafton and rarely held to one opinion
long His journal, in which his
thoughts from day to day are re-
corded, is, even in the expurgated
form in which it was published, a
mass of inconsistencies
Gen Gordons courage is warmly
praised by Lord Cromer, who says fur
ther: Many man before Gen. Cor
don has laid down his life at the call
of duty Many man, too, has striven
to regard death as a & I'D relief from
pain, sorrow and suffering. But no
soldier about to lead a forlorn hope,
no Christian martyr tied to the stake
or thrown TO the wild beasts of ancient
Rome, ever faced death with more un-
concern than Gen. Gordon

Bible rested on the outspread wings
of a powerful wrought bronze eagle.
At the base of the lecturn, another
symbol of the Gospel was presented in
the form of great lion.
The clergyman yielded to the
temptation to banter the fair visitor

him he was too young to understand
