Power of Imauination.

THE imagination is wonderful" said
a college professor. II know a Chi
cago man who went last summer TO
Asbury Park. He in a quaint way
proved my point. He didn't reach AS
bury Park till 10 O'Clock at night. and.
very tired, he turned in at once AS he
settled his head comfortably on the
pillow he said TO his wife:
Listen to the thunder and hiss of
the surges. Maria. l haven't heard
that glorious sound for forty years.
No more insomnia now!
And. indeed. for the first time in
three months the man slept like log.
But when he awoke in the morning he
found that the uproar which had lulled
him to sleep was the noise of a garage
in the rear of the hotel. The sea was
over a mile away" - Detroit Free

panied by officers from this village
visited Rutland and Troy but no trace OF

ton lasting for some time she was re-
leased on her own recognizance for APP
pearance in court next Thursday.

The Generous Arab,

zone day when in our wanderings
we happened to camp uear some roll
ing country the sheik and | rode off
in search of gazelles." says Il traveller
in Arabia. We found Il large herd,
and. being mounted On good horses. we
managed to ride them down. throwing
ourselves off our horses for the snot,
then galloping Oh again. We killed six
gazelleS In about an hour and rode
back to camp with enough meat for
big feast. 1t is the custom that who
ever kills game should provide n feast
for all his friends. On the occasion Of
these feasts | noticed that there was
always a crowd of hlngcrS-on waiting
at the end for scrap of food half
starved looking boys and ragged men.
These were orphans whose parents
had been killed or men whose herds
had been lifted by other Arabs. and
as result they were destitute. for the
law Of the Bedouin is survival Of the
fittest' in its strictest sense. But the
sheik supplied food literally, and
noticed that he always looked after
the poor and fed the hungry"

Suuarinq the Circle.

The origin of the problem squarng
the circle is almost lost in the mists of
antiquity. but there is Il record of an
attempted quadrature in Egypt 800
years before the exodus of the Jews.
There is also claim. according to
Hone. that the problem was solved by
discovery of Hipprocates, the geom-
etrician of Chios-not the physician
500 b. Z. Now. the efforts of Hippoc-
rates were devoted toward converting
IA circle into IL crescent. because he had
found that the area of a figure pro-
duced by drawing two perpendicular
radii in a circle is exactly equal to the
triangle formed by the line of juno
ton. This is the famous theorem of
the ''lunes of Hippocrates" and is. like
glauber's salts out of the philosophers
stone. an example of the useful results
which sometimes follow a search for
the unattainable.

TIES ON TRACK.
Ate m pit to Wreck Southbound
Sleeper Prevented.

What seemed at first to be an attempt
to wreck the south bound sleeping train
Wednesday night was brought to
head yesterday when a man by the
name of Hal Hayden, aged about twen-
ty-seven years, was arrested by Chief
of Police Butterfield on complaint of
Detective j. w. Brislin of the Rut-
land railroad. Hayden rushed into the
railroad station about 10 O'Clock and
informed the operator that man was
placing railroad ties on the track about
two miles south of the village. He told
the operator that he had removed sew
eral Of them, but that the other fellow
would place them on the track again.
Thos Brennan, the operator, immedi-
atey notified the officials at Rutland
who dispatched Officer Brislin to Mid
dlebury
The section foreman was Immediately
notified and with the regular section
hands proceeded on a handcar to the
place where Hayden said the ties were
placed on the track. Just before ar
irving at the place designated by Hay
den he jumped off the car and told the
men they would find the ties a short
ways further on The section men did
as told by Hayden and found two rail
road ties across the track. which they
removed
The section men returned to this vii
lage and reported the affair to the oper-
ator who notified the officials at Rut-
land. Detective Brislin of Rutland was
at once sent to this village, arriv-
ing here on the sleeper Thursday
morning and went to the scene of the
attempted wreck After an investiga-
ton he returned to this village and had
consultation with the section hands
and started on a search for Hayden. He
was found at the farm of Gusta Muller,
where he has been employed, and placed
under arrest and brought to this village
by Chief Butterfisld and Detective Brs-
lin. He was arraigned before Justice
A. W. Dickins on the charge of placing
distractions on the railroad track with
intent to wreck a train. He admitted
the charge and was placed under 81 600
bail for his appearance at the December
term of Addison County court. Not
being able to furnish bail in the above
named sum he was committed to the
county Jail. He told the officers that it
was his intention to hide in a nearby
barn and watch the fun after the train
had hit the obstruction and was wreck
ed. 1t is believed that Hayden, whose
home is in Basin Harbor, VT, is slight
ly demented as he has been of queer
acting disposition.

A Life SAVING Order.

Many years ago the American war
ship Della ware came near laundering
off the coast of Sardinia while lutiing
through heavy squall during a morn
ing watch. The unauthorized letting
go of the fore sheet" alone saved the
ship from going down with LOO souls
on board. The first lieutenant, after
ward Commodore Thomas w. Wyman,
with difficult climbing succeeded in
reaching the quarterback where,
snatching the trumpet from the officer
in charge. his first order, given in a
voice heard distinctly fore and aft.

This command to hundreds of human
beings packed in the lee scuppers like
sardines in a box instantly restored
them to order and prevented a panic.

time. with a line of battle ship on her
beam ends, clean paint work was Of

house to get the required amount.
Arriving at the house King went in

nowhere to be found. Mr.. Seals re-

The Babv Stare,

Have you ever sat opposite in bus
or train to a baby. say. from one to
two years old? If you have you have
been compelled to notice it, And un-
less you are Il misanthropical person
| guess you have caught yourself feel
ing uncomfortable under its wide eyed
scrutiny of you. ! think there is moth
ing more disconcerting than to be re-
jected by baby after full and open
cross examination. Babies and very
young children have no humbug about
them. | believe they see more than
grownups. believe they read our
characters down to the very ground.
While the young mother is interested
to find that her baby is being admired
that baby is reckoning up both the
mother and the admirer. and when the
jerky turn of the head comes the man
that has music in his soul feels small.
