Valued Employee Killed.

John Smith water service fore
man of the Central Vermont rail-
way died at the ST. Adams hospital
Thursday of injuries received when
he was run over by a switching train.
Mr.. Smith had started to cross the
tracks, just north of the roundhouse,
and apparently neither saw nor
heard the approaching train of coal
cars, being pushed by an engine.
The leading car struck and knocked
him under the wheels, the forward
trucks passing over his left leg,
nearly severing it from the body
He was then caught by the hopper,
hanging underneath the car, and
was dragged and rolled for about
100 feet before the train was stop
ped. A large force of men from the
roundhouse and yards rushed to his
assistance, but he was so tightly
wedged and damned that the car
had to be lacked up before the body
could be taken out. The shock was
SO great and his vitality so low from
excessive loss of blood, that the
surgeons did not operate, and the
end came at an hour and a half
after the accident. Mr.. Smith was
one of the Oldest and most valued
of the employees of the road, having
been with it for about 40 years,
during which time he had had
charge of all details of it's water
service, of which he had made
lifelong study and on which he was
an authority. Mr.. Smith who was
about 65 years old, leaves besides
wife, two children, Mrs. Frank
Blake of ST. Adams and Thomas
Smith of Whitehall, N. Y He also
leaves two stepch1dren, Miss Mary
Kennedy and John Kennedy

at The Colonial March 8.
For many months all New York
and the strangers within its gates
have been bowling with laughter
over Seven Days. the comedy by
Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery
Hopwood that has reached its Sec

six months Chicago bent double with
merriment over this famous play.
Now it's our turn. Seven Days is
coming here. 1t will be at The
Colonial, March g. Messrs. Wagon

this city with an exceptionally gift

Astor Theatre where they con-
tributed to the New York populari-

Surely nobody will miss seeing this
play which without exception is
pronounced the brightest, wittiest
and best comedy in twenty years.
Every dramatic writer in New York
agrees in this opinion. The critics

ing Seven Days" the greatest
comedy of this generation.

arranged, all in readiness for a

color scheme of the decorations was
in green and white with many Greek
P's formed around the room The

Greek Pi, as were also the ferns on
the table near the place of honor.
On one wall was like letter and on
the side opposite the motto mot

Greek on green background This
motto was to have applied to the
hearty four-course dinner but the
meal did not seem to lack in either
way. At the beginning of the third
course a large birthday cake around
the edge of which were seven candles
one for each decade IN Mr.. Putney' S
life and one in the center of the cake
for the new year, was brought in.

to Mr.. Putney by Mr.. Chittenden.

different stages of Mr.. Putney's life
were given in order by the teachers
The man of honor then rose and
expressed his appreciation and his
pleasure in the occasion. The sue

Colleges Must Report.

The last session of the law passed
by the recent legislature making
appropriations for the University
of Vermont and Middlebury College
reads as follows:
"Sec. 4. The trustees of said in
stitutions shall make an annual re-
port to the governor of the work
done in all departments of said in
stitutions together with statement
in detail of all receipts and disburse-
ments, and a statement of all re-
sources and liabilities at the close
of the fiscal year of each institution
respectively. -
This meets the criticism made by
the Standard not long ago to the eff
feet that no satisfactory detailed
pubic statement of the financial af-
fairs of the University of Vermont
was issued, and holding that halt
should be called in the matter of
state appropriations until complete
reports should be forthcoming. The
foregoing provision is comprehen-
sive enough, if faithfully observed,
to give the people that thorough
knowledge of the University's af-
fairs that is rightfuIly theirs

Mhaf ADVERTISING win DO.

Those good people who, forgetting
that merchants are dependent upon
some form of publicity and that the
question simply is how to get it the
most speedily and economically, say
they do not believe in advertising
should have seen the crowd of shop
pers attracted to the third floor OF
the federal building by few brief
announcements that Uncle Sam
would have some attractive goods to
sell at what might be bargain prices.
Any department store would have
been gratified by such crowd of
the fair sex as thronged bargain
day. in the United States court
chambers, and it goes without say
ing that the attracting of this throng
to such an out of the way and I'M
usual place of sale was wholly de-
pendent upon advertising. This is
the most impressive lesson as to the
the prompt and effective influence of
advertising we have seen in many a
day.
Another fact brought out by this
sale is that it is not necessary that a
merchant have any particular loca-
ton in order to draw throng of
shoppers. The man who has the
goods that people want at attrac-
tive prices can choose his own loca-
ton. Advertising will do the rest.
The crowds will go where most at
tractive bargains are offered.--E Bur :

The Argument of Cook.

Cooks argument was this: Peary
and his gang are not to be believed
for various reasons; Cooks data are
as good as Peary's ana neither furth-
er mathematical proof which is impos-
sible: Peary's cabal against Cook
shows the latter to be worth attempt
ing to ruin by the former; since Cook
first described the unexpected condi-
tons around the pole and Peary later
described the unexpected topography
there, they both were at the same
place.
All close students of the north pole
fuss, without prejudice, will agree
with each of these propositions-and
perhaps throw out Cooks testimony,
also; but the last proposition-th the
perfect parallelism between Cook and
Peary later as to the unexpected con-
ditions around the pole depend on no
mans veracity and convince some of
us that both Peary and Cook were at
the pole-not with what Cook calls
pin-point accuracy of location, of
course, but for all practical purposes.
All this is about what the Cook lee
ture is today. Seeing and talking to
the man Is important in itself. of
course, when it is such man with
such record and such prominence
in the reading world.

This description was valuable for
the stereopticon pictures of photo

really Is like. 1t was worth much to all
in the seats. and no one who pretends
an interest in travel or knowledge of
the world we live on could afford to

lack of preparation of the curtain by
the man who worked the stereopticon
but was so interesting that that may
