DANTE'S HUMOR.

It Is of the Wholly Unconscious Kind
 and Woefu!Iy Grim.
 The humorous side of Dante is ana lyzed in the Westminster Review by George Trobridge. who is a great ad- mirer of the famous poet and who has in previous writings expressed his ap- preciation of Dante as a nature poet and as novelist
 Although Dante'S great poem is a comedy" in the sense of being a drama working to happy ending, we do not look for ridiculous situations in it, such as we usually associate with the idea of comedy. Ridiculous situa- tions occur nevertheless, and there is no lack of humor even in the poets de scription of the sufferings of the lost. Dante's humor. however. is of the un- conscious kind, arising from a total lack of perception of the ludicrous. It is said thHt ha v-as nnver seen to smile.

 Paddy Sullivan snuffed out the box ing aspirations of "BulP' Mccormick by a short right hand jolt to the solar plexus in the fourth round of their bout at the Sharkey A. C., New York, last night. Sullivan had Mccormick at his mercy from the first clang of the gong until he administered the knockout. Sullivan trimmed "Bull'' as a butcher would calf. He cut end jabbed him when he pleased and hit him wherever he desired. He was the aggressor at all times. McCor- mick spent the greater part of his time covering his face la Leach Cross. It was only at rare-very rare intervals he shot out his right at Sullivan. Each effort in that line was hailed with delight by his friends, but their enthusiasm was short lived, for Sullivan invariably cut short the rushes with straight lefts that made Bulls head rock.

sURGEONS' CHARGES.
Method by Which, 1t Is Said, the Fees
 Are Regulated.

' Are Regulated.
 Frequently laymen who have had oc casion to settle the bills of surgeons upon whom they have called in ex- tremities to use the knife are heard to complain against what they call "the exorbitant charges of surgeons" A skilled surgeon may charge $250 for a simple appendicitis operation. The patient, who never thinks of com plaining until he is convalescent, ob- He says, Ut is outrageous for a sur geon to charge $25O for half an hours wOrk.'
 The question of surgeons fees often puzzles a patient. He knows of one man upon whom surgeon of wide reputation Ras operated and charged only $75. He may know of another who has paid $1,OOO for the same op- eration. He cannot figure t out.
 Yet surgeons of known ability and national, perhaps international, fame have a general plan in charging for operations. Their prices range from nothing to $5,O0O. They will operate without any question of willingness or ability to pay in any case where the situation is imperative. Afterward they will present the bill. The general public does not understand how sur geon will charge one man $50, another S250 and another $5O0O.
 Surgeons have a fixed price scheme. They aim to charge the patient about one months income. They figure that any person who is in such bad condi- tion as to be forced to submit to a surgical operation surely can afford to give one months income. They ascer- tain roughly what man makes per month and send in a bill for that amount The man whose income is but $50 month pays $50. The man who gets $5.OOO is asked to pay $5,000 and generally objects, even though LeN should know that his life is worth
 s much approximately as that of his
 oorer fellow.-ChicagO Tribune.

INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE.

The best games yet ripped off in the Industrial League were those last ev- ening between the teams from the Graphophone and the Holmes & Ed wards Co. The former won two of three, but had the hardest kind of work in doing it. The games were so close that the totals were only won by three pins. Pete Verrelle of the Graphs rolled well, his work in the first string winning that point for his team. It was the same way in the third game, Verrelle rolling better than his opponent. The scores:

a lot of changes in the baseball rules The officials in the South want the scorers placed under the supervision of the league, so that batting aver ages cannot be padded" The cause of the trouble arose over a wager made that a certain man would bat over and above the 300 mark. The man who made the bet cashed. It would not be a bad scheme to look into the work of some of the scorers in the State league. Tn certain cities they pad the base hit column some thing shamefully.

Rev. Donald Fraser of Berlin Con-
gregational church. relinquishes his
Berlin pastorate April 1st to take up

WILL WEAR L. ). UNIFORMS.
Norwich University Favored by Wa
Department.

That Norwich University has again
been recognized as one of the higher
institutions of military education in
the country, has been shown by the
latest move of the War Department
when in a recent letter to the trus-
tees, they granted them the right of
obtaining regular army clothes
from the government tailor shops at
cost. This places Norwich on the
same footing as West Point and in
fact. so far as is known with any
other military school in the United
States.
Years ago the cadets wore the reg
ulation National Guard uniforms, but
this right was taken away from them,
with the result that every man at
Norwich has been obliged to pur-
chase his own uniforms The cost of
these amounts to nearly 500. which,
for military clothes alone is quite
drag on some of the men and has
pltNtHttu nidHy utStINillS youths
from finishing their courses in
the past, for in addition to these
clothes the cadets must have mis-
citizens clothes too.
The new equipment includes one
blue dress uniform, one olive drab
service uniform, one olive drab ever
coat, 8 olive drab army blankets, C
pair olive drab gloves, ~ pair dress
or white gloves, II military collars,
one pair gauntlets, one poncho or
rubber service cape, one pair of put
tees. The quality of these vary of
course with tle rank of the cadet an
officer having leather puttees etc. For
the first year the price is to he fixed
at $6G to include everything. Ea?h
subsequent year the cost will be $50
and will include Whatever the cadet
needs, has worn out or lost This IS
to go into effect next fall and should
mean the increase of the registration
1T the university as incoming or pros
pective students can no longer claim
that the cost of uniforms is too high.

Many New Members.

The Automobile Club of Vermont
shows every prospect of experiencing
its banner year during 1910 if the
number of registrations that are daily
coming in to it's secretary Smith S.
Ballard, count for anything. The club
has been making rapid strides during
the past year and it's influence on the
side of good roads has been felt but
never with the exception of the first
month of its existence, has there been
so many members coming in as there
were during the month of February.

NEW GAME PRESERVE.
Farm Given to the State BY Sharon
Mainland Located in New York

State Game Commissioner Henry
G.. Thomas of Stowe will go to New
York State in a few days to visit a
farm and secure reliable information
concerning the care of game birds
in the winter time. There is an ideal
place for such study in a farm located
near Utica and inasmuch as the
State now owns the farm recently
decided to it by Charles Downes OF
Sharon, the papers have been passed
Thursday it is probable that part Of
1t will be used as a game preserve,
but no action in regard to the matter
will be taken until after the next
session of the Legislature.
The farm is about $50 acres in ex-
tent and heavily wooded and one of
the intentions of the donor was to
have it set aside as forestry pre-
preserve. The State Board OF Agrl-
culture will visit the place for the
purpose of inspection inside OF two
weeks. 1t is said to be very valu-
able piece of property and an ex-
cellent place for the purposes for
which it was set aside.
