The Prize Football Fan.


How would you like to have the dis
tinction of being the champion foot
ball bug" of big university where the
entire student body howls itself wild
when the padded gladiators take the
field and the victorious warriors are
borne from the gridiron on the shoul-
ders of admiring undergraduates with
cheers of the fair "eo-eds' ringing in
their ears? That is a real distinction
because 1t is so exclusive-only one
in a thousand can enjoy it for of course
there can be but one champion. The
honor for the past season at the uni
versity of Oklahoma goes to Robert
Hill, known as Bunk" Hill, a sopho-
more Lit" from Vinita and a member
of the Sigma M Fraternity Hill
claims the title because he is the only
student not on the team who witnessed
every game that the Sooners played.
He accompanied the team on the trips
to Missouri and Texas and saw all the
contests at Oklahoma City as well as
those at home. He says that the
Sooners are 'the best in the west" even
il they didn't quite prove it. Hills
unique distinction has one great draw
back The title is a mighty expensive
one since it costs oddles of money to
follow a football team as it jumps
about on the map.-University News
Journal.

MONTPELIER PIONEER
"reminiscences of Gen. Farley Davis
BY Mrs. A. ID. Ames.

There are very few people now liv-
ing who can recall with any distinct
ness any of the early settlers of
Montpelier, and to talk with one who
can seems like living for awhile in
the distant past.
The question asked in the Journal
the other day, who knows where Gen.
Farley Davis was buried, brought the
response that Mrs. A. d. Arms, now
living in East Montpelier, not only re-
membered Gen. Davis but cared for
him and his wife in their last illness.
Mrs. Arms is half sister of Mrs.
Clark King of this city, and she and
her husband are well remembered by
many of the older people OF the town.
She is ninety years old and in the full
possession of her faculties, except that
her eyesight has failed Mentally she
Is alert and vigorous as ever, and she
does not, like many old people, re-
member events of long ago with much
greater distinctness than those more
recent. Her wits are as keen, her laugh
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1910-02-03

as hearty and her enjoyment of a joke
as ready as if she were half a CEN
fury younger.
Mrs Arms recollections of Gen. Da
Wis do not add much to real historic
interest, as there were no stirring
events in his career after she was old
enough to remember him. She recalls
him, however, as a large framed, large
hearted, generous man, ready to as
sist any undertaking of public ma
ture, to contribute readily in aid of
the needy and to loan freely to those
he considered deserving, though he
frequently lost by such transactions.
Il can't understand how | am worth
so much property" he said in his lat
er years.
Il can" said his wife Rebekah, who,
says Mrs. Arms, added much to the
family income by her activities.
Mrs. Davis appears to have been 9
fit wife for her generous and public
spirited husband. She was active in al.
good works, interested in all publ 6
affairs, and she was particularly be
loved in her time because of her skill
in medicine and surgery. She was a
daughter of Col. Stephen Peabody OF
Amherst, N H., and had two brothers

bard Library are generous, philsn
thropic men who contribute largely
Ct their time to the proper mainlsn-
ance of the library and their work
is closely identified with the institu-
tons undeniable success.
In its less than quarter century
of existence, the library las had bu:
two librarians, ths first, Miss Mary
Macomber, librarian of The Public
Library Association who entered
Kellogg-Hubbard library at it's found =.
ing and held the office of librarian
until her death, giving increasingly
Of her time and effort. Her influence
in the choice of books, the education
of the juvenile taste and the sugges-
tons given the adult patrons of the
stack rooms still live and hers was a
work of public benefaction as assur-
eddy as if she had ,bequeathed none
tary gifts to the betterment of tho
community. Miss Macomber's as.
sistant was Miss Evelyn Lease whose
reference work made her invaluable
to the library and she succeeded
Miss Macomber upon the death of the
latter. Miss Lease has introduced
numbers of labor saving devices anil
her influence also, in the taking out
of books is wide, her suggestions be-
ing sought by youngsters and adults.
Mrs. l.. r. Goddard is employed
in the library and Miss Rebecoa
w. Wright is revising the catalogue.
George w. English has been custo.
dian of the building since it's cree
ton and has given his Sunday after
Moons generously in order that the
reading rooms might be easy of ac-
cess according to the wishes of the
trustees and his diligence has much
to do with the attractiveness of thu
grounds summer and winter and the
| immaculate cleanliness of the inter-
ior of the building.
Some one says that free public
| library makes for democracy of Gull
ture and an aristocracy of life, and
Carlyle said: "All that mankind has
done, thought, gained, or been is ly-
ing as in magic preservation in the
pages of books" Such are the pos
sessions of Kellogg Library,
which, though not town institution,
is held in trust for the people of
Montpelier. Its service to Montpelier
has already been large. The measure
of its future service depends on the
intelligent frequency with which
men seek its volumes inspired by a
love of learning and desire for bet
terment,
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1910-02-03

repairs for three summer months.
The other nine months show an in
crease over the corresponding
months of the year previous. Ow-
ing to the illness of Miss Macomber,
Miss Edith blanchard assisted in
the library and the trustees said
.Ian interesting feature of Miss
Blanchard's work has been story
telling to large gatherings OF chill
dren assembled at the library rooms
for that purpose.
In December, 1907, the project YVES
conceived of keeping the library open
on Sunday afternoons in order that
the working man and woman and
others might have opportunity to
spend a quiet hour on a Sunday af-
ternoon in the reading room. The
trustees say of the venture which was
a leader as regards other libraries
in this section, "rhe reading room
and stack room have been open to
visitors on Sunday afternoons from
one to six o'clock under the charge
of Mr.. English. the total attendance
for the nine Sundays las been 4S1,
or an average of over SO. The at
tendance Of adults has about equalled
that of children while twice as many
men and boys have been present as
women and girl.. Books are not CIV
en- out, of course, but can be taken
from the shelves for use at the stack
room tables. In the opinit of your
committee, the plan warrants a coh-
tinuance Of the practice" The Ii
brary has since been open Sunday
afternoons and thought it has been
largely used, the trustees feel that
even more people should avail them
selves of the opportunity and will,
perhaps, as they understand the plan
and the hours better. George w. Eng.
lish, who is in charge of the building
has given his Sunday afternoons I'M
tiringly to this work.

During the following year Miss Mary
e. Macomber died after a long illness
and the trustees were unable to pre-
sent the report of the librarian to the
city at the close CT the fiscal year,
last February, pat the circulation of
books had increased by leaps and
bounds over that of the previous year
while the trustees reported The libra
ry in the most flourishing financial
condition. That the two penny a day
fines count in the long run is evidenced
by the S1S4l4 yectN from this
source year before last.

The one week books are popular as
the time limit suggests, two weeks
being the usual limit set Tor return
without fine while those residing ov-
er three miles from the city are Civ
en- three weeks lee way. The library
boasts a complete card index system
thoroughly up to date, and has inaug-
urated very recently plan whereof
the librarian makes out the slips when
book is taken out, the recipient
simply presenting the volumne at the
window, Heretofore the full slip hal
to be made out by each person taking
out book and although the present
and much more convenient method re
lates only to books of fiction, it is The
plan to pursue this course, in time
with all BOOKS in the library. Books

which the careless calculator regard
as priceless boon which saves hin
mere than one stray penny whic
has gone previously into the fine boz

volumes and its financial standing
