THE SERVANT IN THE HOUSE
One Speech in the Play Has Become
Classic.

The following speech from THE
Servant in the House has already
become a classic. II is called by
many conservative critics the most
remarkable piece of genuine elo-
quence to be found in any play writ
ten in the English language since the
DAYS of Shakespeare. The lines are
spoken by Manson, the servant" in
response to the Bishop of Lanca-
shire's request that he tell him some
thing of the wonderful church he has
built out in India. Manson, of
course speaks of the Universal
church, but the Bishop supDoses he is
describing an actual edifice.
Manson: You must understand.

meaning timber 1t is a living thing.

A Time to be Careful

Next week will be the open season
for hunting deer in Vermont. and il
will be a time to be careful not only
not to shoot somebody else or to get
shot, but also to avoid the various
penalties which hedge about the priv
ilege of playing the nimrod in the
Green Mountain region.
In the first place it is well to bear
in mind that under the law as revised
by the legislature at the latest SEES.
sion thereof mo person shall at any
time hunt, shoot, pursue take or kill
any of the wild animals wild fowl or
birds of this state nor use a gun for
hunting the same, without having first
procured a license therefor" which
is issued by the town clerk. This is
the first step to be taken by the deer
hunter if not already attended to.
Section 1921 of the Public Statutes
of Vermont as amended, provides
that Deer other than spotted or red
tawn may be hunted and taken annu-
ally during the last week in October
containing six working days. Sun
days excepted. This section shall ap-
ply to both resident and nonresident
hunters but no person shall hunt. kill
destroy or capture a deer, with a dog
or dog kind, by the aid of a Jack or
artificial light, by the method known
as crusting, while the deer are yard
ed or by the use or assistance of a
snare, trap or salt lick or between
sunset and sunrise"
Another phase of the deer situation
in Vermont is brought out by the
Brattleboro Reformer in the follow
ing paragraph:
From a sentimental standpoint the
Reformer has no fault to find with
the law which gives hunters the right
to shoot either buck or doe during the
open season, but there is the likeli-
hood that the absence of the neces-
sity of determining the sex of the an.
imal will result in carelessness on
the part of hunters and consequent
fatal injury of some companion. On
this account those who fare forth in
quest of big game during the last
week of this month should be partic-

About this time in the year, or
perhaps a little later, the Vermont
farmer begins to figure on two prob

CONDUCTORS MUST WATCH CAR
Decision in Negligence Suit Against
Electric Railroad.

BY a decision of the full bench of
the supreme court Tuesday in the
suit Of Mary A. Ryan VS.. the Pitts
field Electric Street Railway COM
pany. over-ruling the latter's excep-
tons. a verdict for $4,000 for the
plaintiff is affirmed She was thrown
down by the sudden starting of a car
she was boarding in Pittsfield. The
stop made by the car was a long one
and the conductor was on the front
platform, where he could not see her
when he gave the signal to start.
The company said that, having had
ample opportunity to board the car,
it was not negligence for the failure
of the motorman or conductor if they
could not see, to go around the car
to see If any one was still boarding
1t before starting it.
The simple answer made to this by
the court is that 1t could not be said
as matter of law that it would not be
negligent for him to order the car
to be started without going where he
could see whether any one was board
ing the car. The jury must deter

Good Advice with Generous Bene-
faction.

Good Advice with Generous Bene-
faction.
Along with the dispensing of his
money largesses to educational in
situations, DR.. d. X. Pearson of Hins-
dale, ILL.,, throws in a good deal of
sound advice that smacks of the ear
ly training which he secured in lit
tie Vermont homestead in Bradford
and the following of which enabled
him to accumulate money enough so
that he today is regarded as one of,
the country's most generous bene-
factors. In sending his promised
$4,000 to Montpelier seminary coin
cident with the raising of 500. 900 by
the school, DR.. Pearson quoted Prin-
cipal Bishop the trite but true adage,
Success begets success" meaning
that the success which attended the
efforts to secure the endowment for
the institution indicates the further
success of the Montpelier institution
financially, as well as educationally.
At the same time, he interposes a
shrewd suggestion that although the
school has the money, it must work
hard to keep it, saying, Now Mont
pelier seminary has $4,000 clean
endowment, and one hundred years
from this date the seminary must
have the same amount" not using
one cent of the fund except the inter
est which accrues from its wise in
vestment of the funds now at the dis
posal of the school.
At the close of his letter. DR., Pear
son writes: Now you can go on
and build a good dormitory, the peo-
pie will help you. 1t pleases me to
send you the money. 1t is the best
$4,000 that | ever had. | saw the
old seminary built, ! knew exactly
where the brick were made At the
commencement of every school year
make up your budget of expenses
and never come out in debt Choose
the best men in Vermont for trustees
select them for their good business
qualities, and good horse sense"
The well intended advice of the
kindly old gentleman will certainly
be accepted seriously by the persons
who are i'm charge of the institution.
and the friends of the school who
have labored so hard for the endow-
ment fund have thus the opportunity
of expressing to Dr. Pearson their
great qualification over the results
and their appreciation of the assis-
lance of the largest single donor
