The play is English and lords and la

footmen give tattering air of luxury to
the ensemble. The dialogue is bright
and witty, all the humor in the piece

all the stronger, however, and the audi

act in breathless expectation of the de-
nouncement which is cleverly kept in
allegiance by the stagecraft of the author

MiddIebury College Notes.

The Committe Of tho College Corpora
tion, which has in charge the erection of
the new dormitory for women, for which
$50 600 of the Pearsons Fund will be ex.
pended, has been prospecting this past
week on the new Battell Campus donat-
ed last year by Hon. Joseph Battel It
has been found that the rock on the
crest of the hill, one hundred feet north
of the cottages now occupied as a home
for women, lies about seven feet below
the surface of the ground. The new
building will probably rest it's foundotion
on this rock. The site commands a
magnificent view both to the east and to
the west, and the new building will be
one of the most prominent objects in the
landscape of Middlebury. The ground
there is forty feet higher than that on
which the College Chapel stands

No department of the College has
made more rapid progress recently thar
the work of the Library. Under Miss
Eta NJ. Clark, the new librarian, the
reference room is no longer a place for
study between classes, but real library
reference room. Several students serve
as assist ants, especially in the making of
cards for the large number of new books
which are being added to the library.
The appropriation for library purposes
was increased this year to $4,000, over
threee times what it has been in recent
years. Aside from this the library re-
ceived special gift of $500 for the pur-
chase of books from DR.. NJ. Allen Starr,
of New York, son of the donor of the

ARE YOU A TYPIST?
HERE'S FINE CHANCE
Examination Comes Off For Skilled
Office Labor at Rock Island
= Arsenal

There is a wonderful chance com
ing for some young man or young wo-
man who is an expert typewriter to Sc
cure a start in the civil service of the
government at Rock Island arsenal,
with prospects of advancement. Peter
Newton, in charge of the Seventh
civil service district, who was in town
yesterday, called at The Argus office
in company with Postmaster H A. J.
Mcdonald, to announce that a civil
service examination will be conducted
at the Rock Island postoffice at a date
to be announced later for the skilled
office labor at Rock Island arsenal,
all applicants to be qualified as expert
in typewriting. The initial salary. Mr.
Newton said would be 5000 per an
mum, with promotion later on, and
steady advancement until the salary
will double the amount at which 1t
starts.
Applicants need not be stenograph-
ers. They must be able to pass a sue
cessful examination in the manipula-
ton of the lettered keys, that is all.
Beats ALL Mr. Newton said, how
many people take the civil service
examination and fail. The govern
ment does not require anything unrea-
sonable, only the ordinary rudiments
which insure efficiency. There ought
to be a scramble for the office position
at the arsenal. The salary is reason
able for a beginner, with sure advance
ment, a pleasant place to work and
short hours-only eight day
Mr.. Newton has charge of the civil
service district that embraces all
branches of the civil service centering
in Rock Island, and between st. Louis
and ST Paul.

Their stunt was up to standard and is
a credit to the profession. Other vaude-
Vile acts were staged from local thea
tres. The Tri-City quartet rendered a
number of selections and the program

AT THE Y. M. C. A.

That the Y NJ c. A. is doing things
this year is again shown by the re-
port that comes from Physical Director
Gilman regarding the gymnasium
/ classes in comparison of this years
attendance with that of last year for
! the month of October. The report is
as follows:
/ October, 19O9-Sen!ors, 80; working
boys, 1O1; juniors, 1O4; intermediates,
/ 0; total, 237.
| October, 191O-Seniors. 90; working
boys, 1872; juniors, &c; Intermediates,
/ 1874; total, 402.
/ Last fall was much more favorable
/ for large gymnasium classes than this,
as the weather was so much more dis
| agreeable then than now, and at sucS
a time the boys take hold of the in
door work much more readily. Be
cause of the large NUMBER of boys at
tending the gym, an extra class, the
intermediates, has been formed, the
boys being taken from both the junior
and working boys classes for this one
The outlook for more beneficial work
in the gymnasium this year is much
brighter than last, as every class has

while last year there were no leaders
at all. This also goes to show the ad-
vancement of the WORK.
The game of ping pong is regaining
its old popularity again. A table has
been installed in the Y. NJ. c. A. which
has been used a great deal this year
and is gaining in popularity all the
time. One table does not supply the
demand and another will be installed
in the near future. Next week there
is to be a plng-pong tournament
among the young men. Already there
are a large number of boys who have
entered and prospects point to many
more entries. The preliminaries take
place the first part of next week,
starting Monday, and the finals will
doubtless take place the last two days
of the week. All members of the as
sociation who wish TO enter the con-

HIST by High Cost of Living.
There are more poor children in
Rock Island today than there were a
year ago. The high cost Of living has
brought added hardships upon many
homes, and in these, where probably
a year ago there were little things
bought for the children, there is hard
ly a likelihood that the family exche-
quer will permit of the luxury of toys
this approaching Christmas.
