an invitation to join the Corps in a
meeting conducted by the Corps Patriot
ic Instructor, Mrs. Smythe, in memory
of the anniversary of the naval battle be-

mac. Commander Ce1lty said a few

tuberculosis Exhibit.
Interesting Exhibitions and Lectures by
State Board of Health.

Interesting Exhibitions and Lectures by
State Board of Health.
The tuberculosis exhibit at the
Colonial on Monday and Tuesday under
the direction of the State Board of
Health was very interesting as showing
what exists and what should be done
If one did not realize beforehand the
great prevalence of this disease and the
grave danger to humanity if something
is not done to check its rapid spread,
we surely would appreciate the situa-
ton after inspecting the exhibit. Many
placards explain the peculiar dangers of
the disease and give simple directions as
to diet and care of those suffering from
the white plague. Maps of the state
show the relative number of cases in the
different counties in Vermont for fifty
years prior to 1908 and from 1908
to 1907. Rutland, Chittenden and
Washington counties have most cases
in proportion to the population, be-
cause OF the larger towns and the
stone-cutting industries, There are $50
deaths from tuberculosis every year in
Vermont. or nine every week.
Besides exterior and interior views of
several sanatoriums there were models
of all kinds of out door sleeping devices,
tents, sleeping bags, model porches,
right and wrong sleeping rooms drinking
cups and cuspidors. On Monday even
ing DR.. B. H. Stone of Burlington. direct
or of the state laboratory of hygiene,
lectured and last evening DIR. c. S.
Caverly of Rutland member of the state
board of health, gave a lecture. Both
were illustrated by the stereopticon and
were much enjoyed by those who attend

ADJUSTMENTS.
'sThe Girl from the U. S. A." at the
Colonial Friday Evening.
Selected.

In a late review of theatrical produc-
tions by prominent dramatic critic,
1.-The Girl from the U. S. A" received
full measure of praise.
The story deals with an American girl
who has been placed in an aristocratic
convent in Paris, France, that her educa-
ton might receive an ultra Finish"
There she has formed a deep and lasting
friendship with Vivienne de Voltone,
French girl.
Although the plot leads one among
scenes of oriental splendor, the tone of
the play remains wildly and thoroughly
American in sentiment. There are some
splendid musical numbers, and altogether
the Girl from the U. S. A. is somebody
you will want to be acquainted with
when she appears at the Colonial on

Local Boys Beat Littleton.

Following the girls game FRIDAY even

put the Littleton High School freshmen
through the third degree in basket ball.
1t was the intention of the locals to even
up for several things that happened at
Littleton on a recent trip, and the score
of 46 to 10 would indicate that they
made good. Estey was the only visitor
who caused any trouble and this speedy
little forward certainly had things his

PLAYING UPON AN APE

THE superintendent of Western zoOlOgi-
cal institution has taught his employees
to manage animals by indirect methods, akin
to those by which nervous children are con-
trolled by wise parents. A rhinoceros had
an abscess in its face. The question was,
Did it come from bad tooth, or did it only
need lancingo The superintendent simply
said to the keeper, Give him a new birch
broom" The rhinoceros at once ate it,
grinding up the bits with great gusto. "Ah!
You see his teeth are all right" said the
superintendent, and the next day the alb
scess was lanced with a sharp bill hook.
The diagnosis was as ingenious as his
method of managing Billy, refractory
chimpanzee. The big ape needed exercise
This he obtained by being allowed the run of
the large monkey house, instead of remain
ing in side room before the visitors came
AS he knew he would be caught and put back
into his own compartment at this hour the
ape used to climb to the top of the other
monkeys cages and refuse to come down.
AS he could not be tempted with food, the
superintendent appealed to his mind by
working on what he had noted to be his weak
points, curiosity and cOwardice
The superintendent went to the keeper
and, touching him gently on the shoulder,
directed his attention in a mysterious man.

using an energetic manner, but saying
nothing except words to this effect, Look
out! There he is! There he isl" At the
same time the two men would peer into the
dark place under the gas pipe.
The monkey, on such occasions, would
come down to see what the subject of fear
and interest was, and just then the superin-
tendent and the keeper in unison would
shout, Hes coming Quit He's coming
out" and would rush away in the direction
of Billy's cage. The monkey would dash for
the same place of safety, which happened to
enter it before them
The monkey has never learned the decep-
ton; but is taken in by it whenever the time
comes to finish his mornings airing.

hand. A towering wave bore down on the
wrecked schooner as she lifted and dropped on
the rocks, and Careened her over on her side
with an ominous sound of grinding timbers.
The wave passed and struck the whale
boat, burying it in a smother of foam. When
it's force had spent itself, they saw Thorsen
on the top of the cabin, still anxiously peer
ing after the boat. When the whaleboat
lifted again on the crest of the waves Thor
sen raised himself on the sloping cabin roof,
with a gesture of thankfulneSS to heaven.
The schooner lurched back again. The main
boom poised for an instant suspended in
midair, then swooped down like a giants
fail, catching Thorsen fair across the back
and tossing his body far into the breakers.
On the rocks the wrecked schooner fell apart
like house of cards.
"a death for brave man to die!" So
spoke the stroke oar softly.
Somers looked modify down at the help
less burden in his arms. Mercifully the vik-
ing's daughter had been spared the sight of
that last tragedy, and Somers thought, with
a sudden wave of thankfulness, that she
would also be spared the unveiling of her
fathers real character
Under the lee of the waiting warship
~ hundred eager hands were stretched out
to draw her from the boat. On the deck of
the cruiser Somers marched straight up to
the commander saluting.
Report myself on board, sir, he said.
"And under arrest!"
For running out the pirate? H'm!"
The commander listened in silence, and it
did not occur to Somers to palliate his in
tentions. And capturing the girl?" A
light twinkled in the old sea dogs eyes when
Somers had finished. He as well as the
watching officers had seen the pale, pretty
face of Thorsen's daughter. Il swore to
take Thorsen alive or dead, didn't II" he
demanded. And he's dead, isn't he? Lieu
tenant Somers," he said in voice that car
ried over the deck of the ship, return to
duty with the thanks of your commander!
The monsoon may hit again. the command
er chuckled. 1--WE all have to look out for
monsoons, on sea or shore. Besides. you'll
look better in stars and buttons
Somers did not smile. The Fates had
struck again, and he did not question their
judgment. But he was thinking of the boat
mans epitaph, $50 brave men die." And
he remembered Thorsens last look, the look
that had commended the vikings daughter
to him.
