MCLEOD Is VICTOR.
Defeats Christenden In Wrestling
Bout i'm Miles Hall.

Ed. Mcleod succeeded in gaining
the decision in both falls over Mar
tin Christensen in the wrestling
match in Miles hall last night. Young
Hack won the preliminaries in short
order.
The men were called for the pre-
liminary at o'clock by Referee
William Shannon. Young Hack and
Young Cruickshank responded and
did some fast work fo' awhile pUt
the former was by far the superior
in weight and knowledge of the
game and succeeded in getting an
arm and scissors hold on Cruick-
shank and won the first fall in min
utes.
Ed Mcleod showed some i'm
provement in his wrestling so much
as to find Martin Christensen off
his guard and after % minutes pinned
his shoulders to the floor with a
full body hold. The second fall of
the preliminaries went to Young
Hack in II minutes with a full nell
son.
The last bout of the evening be-
tween the principals was well fought
and created much excitement as
Christensen showed some spirit and
grit as well as ability to get out Of
tight corners. He went down, how
ever, to his opponent in II minutes
with body scissors hold.

HIT BY STONE
Blast From River Bed Sent II POun.
der Through Window.

A large stone Weighing over 10
pounds was thrown by blast in the
river bed yesterday morning to a
house on Prospect street several
hundred feet away, hitting Tony Ro-
manis on his right foot and narrowly
escaping striking a girl who was in
the room at the time The blast was
set off about 10 o'clock at the inlet
side of the ledge and either because
of its being extra heavy or improp-
erly covered small stones were
thrown in all directions. One of the
larger ones crashed through the win
dow of the room in which Romans
was sitting, while the house was
showered with the smaller stones
Dr.. j. w. Jackson was sent for. He
found that in addition to minor
bruises a small bone had been broken
in the young mans foot. He will be
laid up some time.

HAVE ANNUAL MEETING
Granite Manufacturers Discuss Many
Important Subjects.

A we'll attended meeting of the
Granite Manufacturers, association
took place last evening with some
125 members in attendance and some
important matters affecting the flu
ture development of the association
were discussed. Samples of trade
marks for Barre granite were shown
and one was selected which will be
registered and put into use. The
need of more strongly advertising
Barre and it's granite industries was
emphasized and great stress was laid
on the exhibition features.
The meeting opened at o'clock and
was called to order by the president
James Adie, and after the roll call
by Secretary Charles H. Wishart
the reports of the officers and COM
mittees were read. The finances
were reported to be in excellent con-
dition in spite of the recent strain
caused by the strike and lockout.
The letter from the Quarry own
ers' association announcing an in
crease in the price of Barre granite
possible solution was suggested by
the secretary backed UP by many
members.
He was in favor of arriving at a
uniform method Of deciding the value
of a stone and of charging a stand
ard rate to fiuctuate only with the
law of supply and demand. This idea
was we'll thought of and will be car
ried out with the development of the
association.
The matter of having some official
seal for Barre granite to serve both
as a means of protecting dealers from
retailers who put off limitations on
the public and for advertising pur-
poses was taken up.
The seal most agreeable to the
members was a square with round

to Secure an Endowment Fund OF
250,000-Three New DOrmitOries
and Gymnasium
A novel and pleasant feature of
school life was introduced at the
Seminary yesterday morning when
there was rally that lasted two
hours, and there were no gaps and
no monotony. AS visitor was
heard to say at the close, the pro-
gram was as varied as the assort-
ment in the chapel singing book.
Now the head of the science depart
ment would tell OF the work done
and attempted in his department, the
porspect for athletics might be the
next theme, or the students might
break loose in song from the new
chapel books with Where Is Ny
Wandering Boy Tonight" or anon,
"The Bulldog on the Bank" Yet
there was nothing incongruous about
the program, although it was in
formal
The band gave three selections
that were heartily encored and L.. j.

terly style. Speeches were made by

Barre.
Rev. DR.. E. A. Bishop spoke in
conclusion and laid before his au-
dience the aim toward which he is
working, $25O,OOO endowment,
three new dormitories and a new
gymnasium. He was as usual
cheered to the echo, and the stu
dents accorded him the rahs. E. A.

the success of the rally,
Special attention was called to the
music department. In introducing
the band, Acting Principal Cooper

By. much slothfulness the building de
cayeth: and through idfeness OF hands the
house droppeth through.-EccI. x:1S.
Sluggishness laziness, idleness, which
can all be summed up in that word of
few letters, sloth, and which can be
defined quite pointedly, perhaps. as a
disinclination to action or labor, are
germs that trouble humanity sorely.
Few are the people who are not more
or less affected by them Nor can it
be denied that there is not a certain
attractiveness about them, or so It
seems. The lazy life, the idle life, is
looked at by many as desirable form
of existence.
But this Is an arrant fallacy, as may
soon find out. Work, active work. and
the harder the better, is what every
normal being needs to keep his mind
In happy, healthy state and his body
physically sound. A life is a sham, a
pretense, If an effort is made to live
1T without Going such work as comes
to hand and to the best of ones abil-
ity. 1t is work that makes the world
go round; that develops it to higher
and more desirable standards. And
those who are not willing to shoulder
their part Of it are little better than a
menace to society.
AS trite as 1t Is old is the saying:
For Satan finds mischief still for idle
hands to do" A look over any of the
daily newspapers is all that is neces-
sary to prove the truth of this. The
peccadillos of the idle rich are
nauseating. The adversely which
which comes to many persons who are
lazy through choice or idle perforce is
lamentable. Real happiness and con-
tentment are to be found only among
the doors, the workers, be their tasks
ever so humble.
Everyone is familiar with what hap
pened to the slothful servant and the
rewards that were given to the other
servants who had taken advantage of
their opportunities to the extent of
their capabilities. So it is in the world
of today. Those men and women who
have made the most distinguishing
successes, either in the pursuit of
wealth. or in the arts and sciences are,
for the most part, those who have
worked hard in their chosen fields and
the most Of them keep on working
hard until death calls them TO even
greater rewards.
Sloth, like rust, consumes faster
than labor wears" wrote Franklin. IT
would be well for everyone to keep
THIS trulsm In mind and get buster.

IS PROBATION PUNISHMENT?

The reformatory sidesof our criminal
courts has existed for long time but
the development of it through the sys-
tenn of probation has been extraordi-
narily rapid in the last few years, says
the Survey for August. Probation is
asked for, and looked upon, as an es-
cape from punishment, as means by
which a prisoner under guidance can
be reformed and restored to usefulness
as a member of the community with
out punishment.
Any person who has been on proba-
ton under the charge of a competent
probation officer knows well that he
has not got Off scot free. He is under
a constant and very real surveillance
and must account for himself at all
times and avoid the appearance of
evil; he must report to the probation
officer at stated times and places to
his considerable inconvenience; he
must expect domiciliary visits at un-
expected times and to have his wife,
neighbors, employer and the police
man on his route Intercepted as to his
doings, and from time to time must
appear before the court to hear his
record read to and commented on by
the judge. with the possibility always
before him of being surrendered and

factory.
Is there not, then, wrong attitude
towards probation? We now say to
the prisoner: eff you do well for six
months on probation, you shall es-
cape punishment Would it not be
better to say to him: you have COM
mitted an offense and must be punish
ed. You do not appear to be one of
the criminal class, but are In danger
Of becoming one. Therefore the court
will not impose an ignominious sem
tence of the kind reserved for the
criminal class, but punishment free
from ignominy, but none the less real,
enduring and unpleasant. If you ac-
cept this punishment, which is not de-
grading, and live up to the require
ments, no other win be demanded; If
you fail. you must take the punish
ment provided for real criminals" II
this view of probation should be gem
orally adopted, the public demand for
some punishment would be met, and
the offender would feel that he had
paid a penalty.
