How did the old clup room, The
SHADES. get its name? That was a
common name in England for wine
vaults and shops and may have been
appropriate enough for Montpelier
club room of it's class in the old days.
The appellation originated about
1916, when Mr.. Savage had ac-
uuired the premises of the Old Bank
in London, and converted them into
a place for drinking and smoking.
Mrs. Fitzherbert, whose connection
direct or indirectly with royalty has
been matter of much discussion, liv-
ed opposite and he sought designa-
ton that would not offend her. Her
h lse was south of his building and so
t. as to prevent the sun from shin
in on it, so he named his place The
Slides. The name became popular
and was soon adopted by number
of SUCH places in the city. But how
did the name get to Montpelier? Per-
haps some young man had been
abroad and become familiar with such
places.

An old comic almanac tells of a
Vermonter so fat that his shadow
crushed and killed a child it fell on.
How would he compare with Daniel
Lambert, the fat man of England? He
was nine feet four inches around the

81 inches. He weighed 739 pounds.

Soon the college boys will be turn
ed loose on the world, seeking jobs,
looking for occupation, deciding on
their professions. There are men
and corporations all over the coun-
try DESTROYS of just such class of
boys, but there is no clearing house
or employment agency where they can
be brought in touch with each other.
The college graduate does not know
half the time what profession or oc-
cupation he desires to follow He
must experiment before he decides,
and before he decides circumstances
may have made change impossible
though desired. Therefore we too
often have round pegs in square holes.

boys be required to make their choice
in early life and shape their educa-
ton in accord with their plans?

Did you know that the Saturday half

ment and insisted on by labor unions
in trades where it is possible. was in
reality a very old institution? Old

days feast be held from Saturdays
noon to Mondays dawn" King Edgar
in 95S ordered that there should be
cessation of work from Saturday noon
till Monday morning, William of
Scotland made a similar decree-1202.
A quotation from an old writer in 1649
shows that the regulation was then
in force in England. 1t would be in

old order was changed The ordin-
ance of Canute it is said, has never
been repealed.

first, unless settled on the initial bal
lot, may prove a long drawn out at

may be disposed of without a great
deal Of trouble, but some time is like
ly to be consumed in arranging the
platform. There is a determination
that this shall not be perfunctorily
adopl after single reading, not
heardvby half the delegates, and
without discussion. No more ses-
sions of the Legislature are wanted
like that of 1908. when men frankly
stated that they knew nothing about
the platform and would not be bound
by it. If platform is to be adopted
that will suit all parts of the State
some time must be spent on it, though
the committee has already submitted
to the public an admirable draft.

APPOINTED.

Special to the Globe:
Washington, D. c., Sept. 30, 1870
1t was announced automatically to-
day and has since been confirmed that
> C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn, has
been appointed Register of the Treas
uTy of the United States to succeed
w. T. Vernon, of Kansas, whose res
ignation was handed in to take effect
at an early date. This appointment
of Mr.. Napier is regarded in official
circles as a great victory for the Ten
nessee republicans.
When the Associated Press an
nounced to-day that Mr.. Napier had
been appointed, he was called up over
the phone by a Globe reporter, but
refused to discuss the matter, stating
that he had not been officially advised
of this appointment.
1t is not taken to mean, however,
that he will move his residence from
Nashville, but simply live in an official
way at Washington. 1t is expected
that his confirmation will be made
within the next Congress and he will
begin his work as Register of the
Treasury at an early date.

1t is always interesting to compare
figures when to do so discloses a care
fully planned system of discrimina-
ton in favor of one class Of citizens
against another.
Norfolk has a population of nearly
10000, ard it is estimated that 49,
eco, or very nearly one-half of the
population is cOlored.
There are a total of fourteen white
schools with a combined average cost
per month per pupil of $25.1S; and a
total of four colored schools with a
combined average of $3.07. The high
est average cost of the white pupils
is $2.43 ard the lowest $1.26. The
highest average cost of colored pupils
is 97c. and the lowest Acc. This gives
ore an idea of the difference in the
instruction that is being given to the
white and colored pupils in Norfolk.

The Sale of The American.

BY purchasing tie majority of III
stock in The Nashville American
the Tennessee Publishing Company,
headed by Mr.. Luke Lea, who was the
financial hacker of the Nashville Ten
nessean, there was taken from the
people of Middle Tennessee, and the
south as a whole. ole of the best daily
papers ever published in this country,
ana the best that Nashville has ever
had.
The American was democratic to
the core, and YOU never had to take
6 microscope to find her position, bur
the political faith is not a daily pa
rer's full usefulness in modern times.
Elections come at seasons, and the
paper that cannot find any service to
render except when a campaign is be-
ing waged is a woefully weak paper;
in fact, the people will not support
such a paper. The American de-
manded the patronage of all regard
less of their political affiliations, and
it was able to do so because 1t told
the news of the world every morning.
But the purchasers cared nothing
for the splendid service the people
had received through The Americans
eighty odd years existence; they
cared nothing for the papers name
that is better known than any in the
South. AID that has given Tennessee
more advertising than any two papers
published in the state; all of these
things were cast to the winds and tn
old land mark was erased simply be-
cause men differed in politics. The
purchasers claim that they viii give
to their readers a bigger and better
paper, but time will have to vindi-
cate the claim, for as yet the effort
has been a very feeble one.
