WHAT THE STATE NEEDS.

Vermont has no place for homeless
children and for those who are SO unfor-
tunate as to be worse than homeless.
For the present and future well-heing
Of the State it ought TO provide some such
place at once. Why not here in COM
bination with this school that Is doing
Just the work that should be pi divided in
such home school?
II Is an established fact that 1t Is
cheaper for the State TO make good citi-
zens of such boys and girls than to re-
strain and protect itself from them If
allowed to grow mp and become criminals.
In the opinion of the writer IT Is pos
siblc at very small expense for additional
cottages, etc, to combine with this school

proved so successful. n county training

AN OPTICAL ILLUSION.

At recent c. A. r. campfire one OF the
veterans told the following story:
The regiment was marching from one
Southern town to another when a br!ei
halt was calleH at one end of a long COW
cred bridge.
The bass drummer of the little fife and
drum band shaded his eyes with his hand
and peercd through the tunnel-like open
ing Of the bridge toward the opening al
the other end.
Hold on" he exclaimed, We've got
to stop right here'
"What's the trouble?" inquired the SER
geant.
"Theres no use trying" replied tn,
musician. Il never could get through
that little hole with this big drum

THAT MULLER INCIDENT.

Miss Muller on summer day
Raked the meadow sweet with hay.
She helped with stout though shapcly arm
To pay the mortgage off the farm;
And told admirers. Goodness knows
| haven't any time FOR beaus!'
The price of corn and oats and truck
Went up. There was no end of luck.
She took her auto to the bank,
with a chauffeur to turn the crank,
Where city men with shiny coats
Were pawning bonds and writing notes.
And later when the Judge she met.
Said she. "He isn't In my set"

MONTICELLO WILL
 FIGHT FOR SCHOOL
Citizens in Mass Meeting Protest to Proposal of Board to Reopen
 the Question 0f Location.

Monticello. Feb 23-Montice1lo peo- ple are up in arms over the propo- sition to call q meeting of the board of the agricultural school for this district to reconsider the vote by which it was decided to locate the school in this city.
 At a largely attended mass meeting of citizens held here today. great in- dignation was expressed over the e. tion of Judge James Gould of Pine Bluff in calling a meeting of the board for March s to reopen the ques- tion of locating the school. All those present announced their intention of doing everything in their power to hold the board to the contract it has made by the terms of which the school is to be located in Monticel- To.
 James G. Knox, chairman of the meeting, declared that the statement that majority of the committee were not present when the vote was taken was erroneous He said that Judge Bird, Judge Sorre1ls and MT. Bowers were present and that Judge Sorrells also held Judge Goulds proxy Mr. Knox further stated that before the vote was taken the committee callel up Judge Gould at Hamburg and MT. Hampton, the other member of the board, at FOrdyce, and notified them of the committees contemplated ac- tion. Both are alleged to have told the other members of the board to go ahead.
 The people of Monticello took no unfair advantage in the matter and used no undue influence" said Mr Knox. "The school was awarded to Monticello by the board, the con- tract was closed and our people ex- pect to use every means within their power to hold the committee to the contract it has made Any attempt of the board to rescind it's action would not only be unwarranted, but would also be childs play

UNEXPECTEDLY TRUE

The clever young man was wander
ing up and down the platform of the
railway station, intent on finding an
empty carriage in the express, which
was almost due to start, says writer
in Tit-Bits. But in vain. Assuming
an official air, he stalked up to the
last carriage and cried in stentorian
voice:
"All change here! This carriage isn't
going"
There were EXPLANATIONS low but
deep from the occupants of the crowd
ed compartment; but, nevertheless,
they hurried out of the carriage and
packed themselves away in other parts
of the train. The smile on the face of
the young man was childlike as he
settled himself comfortably.
"Ah." he murmured. its a grand
thing for me that 1 was born clever.
1 wish they'd hurry up and start"
By and by the station master put
his head in the window and said:
81 suppose you are the smart young
man who told the people this carriage
wasn't going?"
YES" said the clever one, and he
smiled.
"Well," said the station master, with
a grin, "it isn't The porter heard you
telling the people and so he uncoupled
