lively, while others have done so only
at intervals, and at the same time new

by such custom cannot be doubted,
for It serves 70 bind families and friends
together more securely because Of the
more frequent visits.
Now, It seems, the railroads have
awakened to the coed which the old
Home Week custom IS doing them, and
to what it can do under a slight impetus

CLUMSY COMMISSIONS.

II ought to be taken as a fairly good
proof that school commission board Of
eleven members Is too big for small
city like Rutland, when Eve members
waited in vain for another to put in an
appearance for their regular meeting this
week, after which very important busi-
ness had to 60 over until later date.
The business probably could have been
done by the five members as well as by
eleven If they had been properly author
lied, and, in fact. better, perhaps. Also
it is somewhat remarkable that ma
iority Of the members Of the school
board should have absented themselves
from a regular meeting Of the board, no
less than five being out Of the city and
another being far removed from tele-
phone.
Something ike the same opinion is
held by the Rutland Herald, which gives
the following inside information.
For one specific meeting, the absen-
tees might very likely have important
business that would prevent their at

GOLDEN RULE IN BREEDING
BY Careful Study Breeder Will Have
No Trouble in Producing Like
from Like.

Like produces like" is the golden
rule and summary of the science of
breeding, says the American Cultiva-
tor. 1t must be remembered that the
resemblance is decided not only by
the immediate parents, but by the
grandparents and the great grandpar-
ents, ETC., all being connected like the
links in a chain, or rather like the
tWigs of a tree to the main branch.
Hence the qualities of the family must
extend through several generations,
better dozen generations, to appear
with fair certainty in the offspring.
When characteristic has once
struck into the organization of line
OF stock it remains with great persist
ence, even when mated with unlike in
dividuals, as, for instance, the broad
belt OF the Dutch cattle, which is
nearly always impressed upon cross
of that breed; or the peculiar build
and disposition Of the Morgan horse
which persists in spite OF many re-
moves from the pure Morgan stock.
These prepotent families are usually
established and fixed by considerable
inbreeding at the start, which is the
readiest way of uniting individuals
possessing similar good qualities
Then. by careful selection and out
breeding, the qualities once fixed have
been maintained. By taking into &C
count the influence OF the remote as
well as the direct ancestors, the breed
er will have no great trouble in pro
ducing like from like with regularity

CONTRARY MARY"

MISS ADELAIDE THURSTON AT THE
BEVERLY ON MONDAY.
Adelaide Thurston is the envy of her
sister stars this season as the result OF
her drawing one of the dramatic prizes
in "Contrary Mary" by Mary Ellis
Baker, author of ''Mary James Pa" in
which Henry E. Dixey scored the
greatest success of his career. Miss
Thurston has been so brilliantly sue
cessful in her starring tours, that the
greatest dramatists are eager to write
for her. Frances X. Hope, secured OPP
lions on a number of promising plays
this summer and from them he and Miss
Thurston selected "Contrary Mary"
It is described as charming idyllic
piece, typically American. The title
role gives Miss Thurston abundant OPP
portunity to display the distinction
and magnetism that have caused hel
to be repeatedly compared with Maude
Adams. Her tour will begin at New
port News in September. She will
visit the South and Middle West, re-
turning to the East for New York en-
gagement in the early spring. A pow
erfuI company will support Miss Thurs
ton, while the production will be In
every way sumptuous. Miss Thurston
will be at the Beverly next Monday,
Sept. Is, and she needs no introduction
to Staunton public.
