sists of a hundred acres OF upland
and lowland, well equipped and ex-
cellently stocked 1t is just the
place for boys to grapple with the
same conditions they will meet on
farms OF their own.
Taught to Use the Forge.
The boys not only learn how to use
farm implements and buildings, but
are instructed to make and repair
them. In the blacksmith shop at six
FORCES were six youngsters learning
to make hooks, bolts and horseshoes,
to weld iron and hammer out the iron
fittings for wagons and sleighs, and
passing back and forth, explaining
and demonstrating, was trained
blacksmith teaching them the craft
In the same room was a sleigh, every
part of which had also been made by
pupils of the school Overhead in
carpenter shop the same general
process was going on.
Upon entering the excellent, airy,
COW barn, the visitors were surpris-
ed to learn that the boys of the
school had built it. Here they found
herd of COWS which the boys milk
ed and tended. Not far outside were
number of greenhouses, also CON
structed by the boys. where they are
taught the possibilities of profit
which lie in gardens under glass
The Legislators also visited an excel
lent hennery and numerous barns
and other buildings. Here the stud
ents get the same practical training
they would on their fathers farms,
with the distinction that here they
are Systematically trained in all the
kinds of farm work and made to
work intelligently by being taught
the reason why.
Boys Not OVertrained.
On the farm the father often
trusts the boy with only the routine
work which any one can do. The in
structors at Lyndon said that a sur.
prising number of farm boys had
come to them unable to plough
straight furrow and some who were
even incapable of Harvesting pair
of horses. But although they train
them thoroughly at Lyndon Center,
the boys do not graduate knowing
too much to return to the home farm.
Of the first graduating class every
boy whose father ran farm, re-
turned TO that farm to help carry 1t
on.
The visitors saw practical school
designed to aid without spoiling
calculated to fit the needs of the
average boy who never goes through
a high school, to keep him self-re-
specting and make him lead a clean,
joyful, productive life. They saw an
institution which will not only bene-
fit the "a boys at present either
working their way through the
school under the provision which af
fords any boy work and gives him
pay for his time, or paying the TUT
ion of $200,-but will produce citi-
zens to stay in Vermont and build
her up.
The sentiment most generally ex-
pressed was not wonder that Mr.
Vail had spent so much money. but
establishment that man of so many
and great responsibilities had found
time to work out so perfect and prae-
teal and effective a scheme for the
benefit of his State and the improve
ment of his fellow men.

ENGLISH JOCKEYS LACK NERVE.
Tod Sloan Says American and French
 Riders are Better.

Tod Sloan contributes a racy de- scription of Tagalie's victory in the Derby, says a London cablegram to the New York Tribune. He says:
 After inspecting the horses and seeing the race, I came to the con- clusion that your Swear olds are not so good as they are in France; who rode yesterday-well, they are shame to England. Tagalie got away well in front when the barrier went up, and Reiff, with customary con- fidence, was content to ride wait ing race in front
 II suppose nothing will ever break down the prejudice among English jockeys against waiting in front. It surely is a reflection on the horse manship of Englishmen that eight of the twenty jockeys riding in the Derby should be either American. French or Colonial. I cannot inn agine anything worse than the horse day. There were some of them l would not allow to ride in exercise work at racing stables. Others of them ought to be chefs assistants in the kitchen of a restaurant. It is not only they have no skill. but they have no nerve. They are afraid to seize an opening, afraid to take the slightest risk They just jog along in the safest way they can.

WILCOX REOPEhS HIS
 PHARMACY AT RAY
1t Took Him But Two Days to Get
 In and Display His New Stock.

The Arizona way of doing things is well exemplified by Captain George B. Wilcox of the Hotel Adams phar- macy Captain Wilcox as many peo- pie knew also owned a drug store in Ray which was among the busi- ness houses wiped out by fire last Tuesday morning
 It took the captain several hours to decide just what to do. Then he spent Wednesday packing up new stock of drugs and druggists sum- dries from the reserve stock of the Phoenix store and bright and early Thursday morning he took the train for Ray with his new stock in the express car
 Arriving and looking over the field he saw there wasn't an available busi- ness house left in the town so he inn mediately turned his attention toward the residence properties and in q short time he succeeded in renting one temporarily. Mid-afternOOn saw him installing his new stock. so Ray has had a drug store ever since Thursday afternoon. It takes more than a fire fiend to stop the plans of Arizona people more than tempOr arilY

PHOENIX PLAYS
 IN MESA TODAY
Capital City Team Takes on Oppon- ents of Unknown Strength. Chand-
 Ter Team Organized.

The nearest baseball excitement of any league importance will happen at Mesa this afternoon when the Phoenix senators take on the Gem City aggregation.
 The only dope on the Mesa team derivable now is from the fact they have played the fast Tempe team and stood up fairly well against them in the practice game. Roberts of the Phoenix team has not much to say about the chances of his men of winning, but it is conceded he. like Teddy. is better warrior than prophet
 There is general satisfaction in baseball circles over the announce ment of Chandler's debut with a bunch of tossers. It is claimed the new town team is a strong one and entirely worthy of crossing bats with other huSkieS in the valley.
 Of course, the Chandlerites and the Pastimes will eventually gravitate into q death struggle on the diamond which will be watched with interest by the many true fans lately de- velOped among the residents of the valley.

CURED OF BROKEN NECK.
Rare Feat of Surgery Gives Life to
 victim of Triangle Fire.

Picked up for dead, but saved from the dead wagon before it started for the mOrgue, when a faint sign of life was detected. 18-year-old Esther Harris, whose escape from the Tri- angle fire last year was made at the cost of a broken neck and back. has been. cured.
 Unable to move even finger for eleven months after the tragedy, in which 147 men md women were killed. she can now stand and walk unaSsisted. The feat is rare in sur gery, whose teachings are that in almost every case total paralysis re- suits from a fracture of the neck
 For fourteen weeks Esther lay un- conscious. The doctors at St Vim cents hospital told her she had only few weeks to live. Finally she was taken home to die
 Then, on the bare hope it might help. a method old in lesser cases, but unprecedented in total dsabil- ity, was tried by the chief surgeon, pr. Henry W. Frauenthal, at the Hospital for Deformities and Joint Diseases.
 It worked beyond the most san guine expectations and after being absolutely unable to move in the bed to which she was confined for eleven months. Esther now gets up every day and walks.
 She wears a stiff steel and leather harness to support her neck, but in a few months it is hoped this will be discarded and her escape from a death in life will be complete.-NeW York World.
