One reason why some have hens that

Verm ont Colleges.

University of Vermont entering class is
some $50 or more. Both these Vermont
colleges have been making remarkable
strides during recent years and are grow
ing as rapidly as any colleges in the coun-
try. President Thomas and President
Benton both are more than fulfilling
all expectations concerning them. The
great universities like Yale, Harvard,
and Columbia are more widely known,

good an education in Middlebury or

.PACKEY M'FARLAND MAY

 The reasons given by Rackey McFar- land for his proposed retirement are not entirely convincing when judged by ordinary standards Mcfarland states that he has ali the money he ing too much of a hardship. Few per- sons, be they pugilists or other-wises- are satisfied with the state of their bank accounts. As for trainings be- ing hardship, most healthy athletes find pleasure in keeping themselves in good condition. Mcfarland never has to work very hard to get in shape for a bout. He does not take on fat like some do and have to torture himself in order to remove it. A few days of light work in the gymnasium and 9 hardest contest.
 In story written under his own signature Mcfarland states that a boxer must often go without water when drying out in order to reach a low notch However, he can hardly apply, this to his own case, as he sel- the lightweight limit. He can obtain all the matches he cares to take on without ever being compelled to reduce a pound, as he has no championship
 It may be that Mcfarland is feeling a little discouraged by the prospect of at least one hard match that is inevi-s table if he wishes to retain his stand ing. He has always been a most careful matchmaker. not given to talk ing chances of any kind. But even if he does retire. for a time there is s-la1l chance of it's being pernaanent he has just turned 24 years old and is still in his prime.

WHITE SOX WILL TRAIN OUT ON COAST
CHICAGO PLAYERS TO GET INTO
 CONDITION IN CALIFORNIA.

President Coniskey of the Chicago White Sox is the first club owner to announce his plans for next spring. The old Roman has announced his selection of Paso Robles, Cal, as the training ground for his team in 1913. The men will leave for the coast on a special train on Feb. 20. Paso RobIes was selected partly on the ad- vice of Ted Sullivan, who has made a favorable report climatic and hotel conditions. The trip to the Pacific coast is somewhat of a sur prise, as after the disastrous expert ence of 1910 it was believed that Comiskey would never again favor a transcontinental journey, but the White Sox owner plans frequent stop overs on the way home. which he be- Heves will obviate many of the diff culties of the former trip.
 sI think I have found a great train ing place." says Comiskey. Its health resort and there are springs of natural hot water there. The place is right on the coast, and it's between San Francisco and Los Ange- les It's handy for the boys to work there all week and then play exhibi- ton games in San Francisco and Los Angeles on Saturdays and Sundays
 There will be little travelling to accomplish this and I mean to have the team stay right in the camp for a long time-longer than usua1-then come home, stopping to play only in the principal cities. We're going to have the finest special train we've ever had and think the finest trip

The Powar of a voioa.

Stories abound to illustrate the pow CT possessed I by great speakers and actors to stir the emotions by the tones of the voice. It is said of the elder Booth that he brought tears to the eyes of company upon one occa- sion by the way in which he uttered the opening words. "Our Father" of the Lords Prayer.
 A story is told Of the great Irish orator, O'Connell. An attack had been made upon him in the house of com mons. When O'Connell arose to reply his lefty brow was black with thun- der and his arm uplifted as if to strike. Then, checking himself, he said. But the gentleman says he loves Ireland" Lowering his tone to the rippling mur- mur of a summer brook, he continued. "I have no words of bitterness or re- proach for any man who loves Ire land" The pathos in the fragmentary utteranc6 of the last word brought tears to the eyes of many veterans of the house.
