Paul McGregor loves to have his
mother tell him stories. Also he likes
to have his young friends come and
share the stories. Sometimes 1t hap
pens that a boy who is persona NOD

The stories, he stoutly tells his moth

The presence of others spoils the re-

1t was on a recent evening, in the
midst of fairy tale, that kid for
whom Paul entertains no friendship,
dropped in with ne others, and i'm
mediately Paul shifted. Then he spoke
up, interrupting the tale, saying.
"Bilke Wilke amt got no sore on his

Don't care" said Paul, stolidly.

Again the other boy denied 1t. but
Paul kept right on reasserting the

'I'll Just go and see," finally said
the other boy. Il seen him today and

After he had gone, Paul, turning to
his astonished mother, said. Il knew

The joint board of directors of the

here Saturday to elect superintendent
to fill the place made vacant by the
resignation of J. Allen Hunter. A large
number of applications had been received
and after due consideration, choice was
made of Leonard G. Smith of Morris
vile, a graduate of Middlebury college
and experienced in all grades of school
work He was for time the principal
of the graded school at Hardwiek. Mr..
Smith is to come this week and begin
his work.
Mrs. Fred C. Graves of Colorado
Springs. Col, arrived in town last week
for a visit of several weeks to her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry G. House.
Mrs. Glen McAllister returned Thurs
day from a stay of several days in the

THE NEW COLE STAR.

1t took iron nerves and great will
power to accomplish what young Fran
els Ouimet of Brookline, Mass, did last
Saturday when he defeated two of the
most experienced veterans OF the game
of golf in most decisive manner. 1t
takes a firm nerve and splendid control
of the will, coupled with mastery of the
muscles, to send a little white bail roll
ing over several yards of turf and then
to drop into an artificial receptacle, the
mouth of which seems hardly larger
than the ball itself when looked at from
where the effort started. And to do
that while thousands of spectators watch
the performance, and while knowing that
the thousands of spectators are ON tip
toe of excitement and are only holding
in their excitement by great self-re-
straint--to run the little ball down into
the hole in the smooth green under those
conditions is a feat which is not easily
ACCOMPLISHED But that is what 20
vear-old Francis 0uimet did time after
time on Saturday, just as he had done
on Friday, showing that his victory was
not flash in the pan, but was vic
tory well earned. He played shoulder
to shoulder with two of the greatest ex-
ponents the game of golf has ever
known, Vanlon and Ray of Great Brit
ain, men who had gone through innu-
merable hard contests and who thus had
the benefit of long experience, togeth-
err with great skill and steadiness. The
Young Bay Slater was up against ex-
tremeIy hard competition, but he acquit-
ted himself well and he deserves the
title of open golf champion of the United
States for the 1913 season. He is young
vet and only an amateur, but he seems
to have a remarkable future in sport
which is constantly gaining ground in
many countries and particularly so in the
United States.

Rutland's Big Watershed.

Rutland and Barre have city water
problems which are very much alike !;
both face the need of securing greater
supply to meet the constant growth of
the two cities in population and manu-
featuring industries. If Barre and Rut-
land were standing still, their present
supplies might be sufficient, provided
the water We're properly conserved, but
Barre and Rutland are not standing
still. The two cities are gaining in
population and industries, which causes
an increased demand for water supply
each year Neither has a water shed
large enough to meet and considerable
growth Barre Times.
The contemporary states the case ex-
actlv-with the sole exception of its
concluding sentence, as far as it per-
tains to Rutland This city has an
available water shed sufficient for city
of hundred Thousand population, at
least. We refer to the whole Mendon
valley, of which only a small part is
utilized now.
II doesn't take much Of prophet to
foresee that the time will come when the
entire valley or basin at the east will
be required for the Greater Rutland. 1t
NAV be in ten years; it may be in
twenty-five years. But, whenever the
time. Rutland has conveniently at hand
a magnificent available supply of the
best water that runs down hill, adequate
for many years to come.-Rutland News.

writer of opinions. Therefore, he will
be likely to fill the position OF chief jus
tice in an acceptable manner.
Probably most of the people of the
state will recognize his fitness for the
position although there will be many
who will regret that the junior judge OF
the supreme court bench was jumped
over the heads of all the others remain
ing after the resignation of Chief Justice
Rowell. This latter sentiment was indi-
Gated by the action taken by the bar as
sociations of few of the counties in
recommending the appointment of Judge
Loveland Munson, the ranking member,
and indicated, further, by individual ex-
pressions of opinions from other parts
of the state. There was growing sen
timent in favor Of Judge Munson by
right of seniority, on the bench, as well
as by reason of his known aMlity as
a jurist. 1t is to Be hoped that the su-
preme court bench will not be deprived
Of his ripe judgment as result OF the
overturn.

If Good for Maine, Why Not for
Vermont?

The state of Maine, in common with
the rest of New England is active in the
work of public highway Improvement,
and shows its good judgment by eonfin-
ing its work to the betterment of its
trunk lines, or in other words to those
roads that have the greatest measure OF
public travel. To further aid in this
work of highway improvement and to
bring about the greatest possible distri-
button of its cost, GOV. Haines is out
with a proposition that the state issue
bonds for highway construction, and
that, too. in small denominations. that
the man of small savings may invest
and become a creditor of the state; and
further, that by the means of this pro-
posed bond issue the burden of their
cost is not forced upon the present-day
people, but a portion of the cost Is
passed along to the man of tomorrow.
This already is the plan in New Hamp-
shire and in Massachusetts,, and in other
states.
While no one is opposed to good roads
in Vermont still. it is but fair and just
to the man of small means not to make
this road tax positive burden. Last
year every man. woman and child IN
the state paid tax of three dollars for
construction and maintenance.
The issuance of bonds would permit
the payment of this cost over series OF
years, and as a properly built road
should last for years, then should the
