Her Mind and Pleaded Guilty,

Thursday morning in Chittenden county
court Abbie Harrington was sentenced to
serve not more than 13 months and not
less than II months in the House Of Cor

pleaded guilty TO the charge OF adultery,
although she had stoutly insisted hereto

that she was largely the victim OF en-
vironment and that her guilt was caused
to a large extent by that

five In number:
/. Creamery management. December II

3. General agriculture, January II to
February 10.
1. Home economies, January 81 to Feb

8. Farmers week, February IA to 49,
The winter courses are business and not
academic courses, hence no standard or
entrance requirements is insisted upon
save that each student shall possess a
good common school education. The reg
lstration in the course of home economies,
which will naturally appeal to women
only. is necessarily limited to II.
The winter courses are an evolution
rom the dairy school, the first session OF
which was held In 1891. Less stress Will
be laid than hitherto upon creamery
work and more stress upon farm dairy
work ard upon general agricultural in
s.ruction. The expense of attendance Is
small outside Of the necessary cost OF
hoard and lodging. The entire cost of
four weeks session need not exceed $50.
