eRIsToLs NEW LIBRARY
w. A. Lawrence the Generous Citizen
Who Gives Building

Who Gives Building
Bristol, Jan. 19.-Today has seen
the elimination of hopes of those
who on the Goth of January, 1893, at
the home of Charles n. Mosly, then
a resident Of this village, formed the
Bristol Library association. From a
very small beginning the library has
grown and now contains over 1000
books and this evening the Hon. w.
A. Lawrence presented the town a
beautiful $4,000 home for the library.
Hence all Bristol is rejoicing.
Mr.. Lawrence made his proposition
at meeting held January 20, 1910, to
the effect that he would erect build
ing up to date in every respect and
deed it TO the town for the consider
alton of one dollar, the same to be
the property Of the town so long as it
is maintained for library purposes.
At the town meeting in March fol-
lowing, this proposition was accepted
by the voters without dissenting
vote.
The contract was let last summer
to c. c. Miller of Ferrisburg and the
specifications called for the best qua
ity of lumber and material of all
kinds. IL is needless TO say Bhat
such were purchased and Bristol
boasts of a library building that will
compare favorably in finish with any
public building in Vermont. The
building is 36xiS. story and half
high. The interior is arranged for
a reception room, children's room,
reading room and shelves for books.
The librarians desk is so situated as
to command a full view Of the entire
interior. The basement contains the
heating apparatus and work room.
IL Is pleasant and well lighted, and
the many words of praise heard from
the several hundred persons who Wis
tied the building this afternoon voices
the sentiment Of all.
w. A. Lawrence the donor, erect
ed the building In memory Of his
wives. Mrs. Locke Partch Lawrence,
and Mrs. Minnie Peet Lawrence.
Both of these ladies were enthusias-
tic supporters of the library the first
being one OF the original promoters.
The gift Is a most generous one and
is fully appreciated by the people OF
the town. Mr.. Lawrence has been a
resident OF Bristol since 1881 and for
many years was deputy sheriff He
represented the town in the legisla-
ture and the county In the Senate and
is a director OF the Middlebury Nat
ional bank and the Addison County
Agricultural society. a loyal citizen,
he believes in progress.
The dedication exercises we're held
this evening In Holley hall, which
was we'll filed. The program as pub
llshed In the Free Press was carried
out This brought to a close one OF
the grandest events In the history OF
Bristol. Many OF the nearby towns
were represented at both, the recep-
ton aud dedication, and all congrat-
ulated Bristol on its new library
building and also on the fact that this
was tho homo OF such a public spirit
ed man as w. A. Lawrence has shown
himself TO be, not only in making the
gift, but also In the efforts TO boauti-
~ Brlstol's city Of the dead, Green
wood cemetery. Weeks Of his time
and hundreds OF dollars Of his money
have been expended for that purpose.
lie Is certainly entitled to all the
praise that Bristol can give him.

Jail Sentences Never Saved
: Drunkards, Says Police Judge

SAN DIEGO, March 27.-Po-
lice Judge Geo. w. Puterbaugh
has saved hundreds of men by
"just giving them chance to
show what is in them" And no.
body in San Diego denies that
he has been successful.
THE Master said we must for
give our brother not only seven
times, but seventy times seven"
is this judges answer to all those
who tax him with misplacing his
confidence many times. -
1t grieyes him, says Judge Pu-
terbamgh, to fine an old man ofta
boy. His office, he declares, Is
one Of sadness. Once man who
was up for sentence, said ne
wanted to reform. Judge Puter-
baugh took him to his home, fed
him, clothed him and the man
turned out bad. But the judge
said he didn't care.
''If have only one out Of every
hundred 1 feel I will have done
WE'LL" was his answer.
Another time Judge Puter-
baugh had a man before him
charged with abusing his horse,
an ancient and faithful animal
that could barely hobble along.
The court sentenced. the horse to
pasture and then turned to the
owner. The man began to ex-
plain, but the judge interrupted
him:
'"The more you say the more
you increase your fine. I was
going to fine you $40, now It's
$780,"
MANY times the attempted
kindness of reasonable leniency
has been misplaced, but this is
not necessarily discouraging,"
said Judge Puterbaugh recently.
elm my opinion, such punish

ment has never reformed one per
cent of the habitual drunkards,
while, / believe, such punishment
has made confirmed drunkards,
when kindness, patience and
good advice might have saved.
The responsibilities of Judge in
a police court are very great.
His discretion often either tends
to the making of good citizens or
confirmed drunkards and Grimm

men help themselves. Deserving
