GIVEN PURSE OF GOLD.
Notre Dame Parish Honors Mother
st. Angela, Teacher of English
at the Convent.

Sunday was a happy day for
Mother st. Mary Angela, the hon
ored teacher of English at the con-
vent for on that day her former pu-
pills and the church paid recognition
to her % years of faithful service.
In the morning there was solemn
high mass at Notre Dame church.
Rev. FIR. Total, president of St.
Miehael's College, Winooski, was
deacon and Father Dame sub-deacon,
while Father Drouhin celebrated the
mass and preached a sermon. The
church was beautifully decorated
with cut flowers, ferns and palms
under the direction of Father Dame
Mother st. Angela has charge of the
altar decorations ordinarily but on
this occasion she was relieved of all
responsibility. The music for the
service was in charge of DR.. C. A.
Provost and included a solo by Miss
Emma Lavigne.
At seven in the evening there was
solemn benediction with Father To-
tai as deacon and Father Carriere as
sub-deacon. The music was by the
children. Following the service at
the church reception was rendered
Mother st. Angela at St. Agnes hall.
The guests included friends from St.
Aloysius parish as well as from
Notre Dame. An address was read
by Miss L. Demers and Mother st.
Angela was presented with a bbu-
quet of American beauty roses and
a purse of $113 in gold. The money
will be used for the laying of a new
floor in the English class room at the
convent and in other rooms as well.
The hall was prettily decorated for
the occasion and refreshments of
ice cream and cake were served
Mother ST. Angela belongs to the
Congregation of Notre Dame with
mother house at Montreal and it is
rare thing for a member of this
order to stay in one place as long as
25 years. By her rare personality
and charm, Mother st. Angela has
made for herself place in the com
munity which it would be hard to
fill and all who know her will Join
in hoping that she will be allowed
to spend 25 more useful years in st.
JOhnsbury.

boys be allowed to sign the apology,
and then in return be given a letter
stating that they had fulfilled the
requirements of st. Johnsbury Acad-
emy. This plan failed of ratifica-
tion by the trustees and as the next
step it was decided to petition for
a special town meeting. The petit
ton calls for a vote to see whether
the town will rescind it's former
vote to increase the tuition paid to
the Academy.
When asked for a statement the
trustees said that their side Of the
case could be summed up in a very
few words. To begin with, ii is the
first time in the history of st. Johns
bury Academy that anything of the
kind has taken place. For 70 years
the institution has held an enviable
reputation, and the trustees claim
that to let an occurrence of such
magnitude pass without censure
would reflect both on St. Johnsbury
Academy and on the town. While
they admit relations between facul-
ty and student body were strained
they feel that there was absolutely
no cause for such a demonstration.
In fact, they contend that the affair
SnOuld properly nave Deen turned
over to the civil authorities for ac-
tion, and in allowing the students
to re-establish themselves in the
good graces ofthe Academy by simp-
ly signing the apology they are len
lent in the extreme. They see moth
ing in the form that could be con-
sidered abitrary or radical; they are
willing to overlook the damages to
the property and in asking the boys
to sign they merely wish to remove
a blot from the reputation already
by st. Johnsbury Acad-
emy.
AS would be expected the agitation
has diverted a few from the Academy
to other schools, but the enrolment
is considered as an ordinary one,
228 being enrolled on the second
day of school.

PLAY DEFINED
Rev. F. B. Richards Tells Woman's
Club What Play Is and Should
Re

The September meeting of the ST.
Johnsbury Woman's club was held
in Pythian Hall, Monday afternoon
at three o'clock, with Mrs. Hovey
presiding. The secretary's report of
the July meeting and the treasurer's S
quarterly statement were read and
approved. The president said that
the executive board had left the
matter of procuring a district nurse
with the social science committee,
hoping that one might be secured
for six months. The executive board
had voted $50 to the School library
committee. The matter of a rest
room for the comfort of the teach
ers at the convention in October was
brought upaand Mrs. Ellen F. Brooks
Mrs. Nellie Bundy and Mrs. Emma
Cheney were named as q committee
to have the matter in charge. A
comprehensive report of the fedora
tion meeting at Bellows Falls was
read by Mrs. Edith Flint.
Miss Elizabeth Peck gave a violin
solo which was most brilliant and
pleasing. An encore was demanded
and was charmingly rendered. Mrs.
Rebecca Fairbanks, chairman of the
Education committee, which had
planned the afternoons program
presented Rev. r. B. Richards, who
spoke most helpfully and entertain
ingly on "Some Phases of Play"
Mr. Richards spoke of the fact that
in DR.. Cabot's new book, work, play,
love and religion were grouped as
fundamentals and that the usefulness
of play was becoming recognized. A
definition of play was given as ac-
tivity without serious intent. The
development of the play instinct
from early childhood, with its char
acteristics, was most interestingly
traced. Good play is that which is
subject to rules and applies equally
to the play of children or adults.
Most earnest was the plea for play
being lifted to the important posi-
tion where it belongs.
Miss Margaret Merrill then spoke
briefly on Aspects of Affairs
Abroad" Most interesting we're her
accounts of the first war news,
which they heard at Interlaken, July
81, of the following bewilderment,
then the difficulty of getting money,
followed by the supreme effort to
get to America, and the trip finally
accomplished.
A tribute to Mrs. Sarah Marshall
was read by Mrs. Maybelle Howe and
tribute to Mrs. Susan French was
read by Mrs. Emily Noyes. By vote
of the club these we're put upon the
club records. The meeting was then
adjourned.

Recent Accidents.

Dan Gibson had an accident We'd
nesday while working for II. S.

A nail in the board gave way and he

there will be not serious results, it
is thought.
Mrs, Fred N. Elliott had the mis-
fortune to fall from the gas stove
while placing a ny catcher above it

first that her hip was fractured and
she was taken to Brightlooke but

NEW NATIONAL FOREST.

The secretary OF agriculture has
Just designated a new area in the
southern Appalachians in which he
thinks that lands should be purchased
by the government for forest purposes
in accordance with the provisions of
the Weeks law.
This area is in northwestern Ala
bama, and includes 1890 acres at
the headwaters Of the Warrior river
in Lawrence and Winston counties.
For number Of years extensive Inn
proVements by the government have
been under construction on the Tom
bigee and the Warrior rivers, and q
system OF locks and dams to provide
for $50 miles OF navigable stream is
now near completion This improve
ment gives a direct water route for
the shipment OF coal from one Of the
Bouthernmost coal fields direct to gulf
coast ports, and, by means OF the Pan
anna canal, to points on the Pa
cifc.
The presence OF a forest cover TO
protect the headwaters of the streams
and to help equalize their flow is con-
Stdered extremely important by Sec
rotary Houston. and It is for this fea-
son that he thinks II advisable TO To-
cate a government forest area In the
region.
The new area In which purchases
will be made Is at the extreme south
m portion OF the Appalachian re
gion, about $50 miles from the near
est lands which the government has
purchased hitherto in Polk county,
Tenn, and Fannin county. Georgia.
The new area is almost completely
covered with forest; 80 per cent. OF 1t
has never been cleared. and OF the
eight per cent. upon which clearing
has been attempted three per cent.
has been abandoned and Is reverting

timber, but there has been on great
amount OF numbering becauce the 10.
cality has been too far from trans
portation facilities.
One striking thing about the region
is that, although It has been settled
for considerably more than a hundred
years a part OF the land is still pub
lie domain. Fully 5000 acres have
never been taken up by private own
ers under the various land laws.
These lands have now been withdrawn
from settlement. and Secretary Hous-
ton will request that they be set
aside as a nucleus for the proposed
national forest. The purchase OF pri-
vate lands will also be undertaken
and as quickly as possible the gov
eminent will build up another nation
al forest of sufficient size for eco
nomical protection and administra-
ton.

ALAsKA's REINDEER INDUSTRY.

There are not less than 10000 do
mesticated reindeer in Alaska today,
according to estimates Of the depart
ment of agriculture. This means that
the reindeer industry is by far the
largest agricultural proposition In
Alaska at this time, and more strin-
gent government measures should be
taken to prevent the rapid destruction
OF these animals. The industry under
scientific management should develop
rapidly, according to experts. and the
present herds form a very promising
basis upon which a great industry may
be built.
II appears that there have been In
stances of crossbreeding domesticated
reindeer and the native wild caribuo.
1t is thought that the blood Of the
latter could be used to good advantage
in building up the reindeer herds. At
present the domesticated deer seem to
decrease in size and otherwise degen-
crate because Of the lack Of careful
selection Of breeding animals. The
caribou are superior In size and vigor.
but are not Of 10 wild a nature as to
make their domestication imprac-
ticable.

Look here, l want you to understand

insist that this hat doesn't fit mel"
Whistler looked at the man with in
terest; then he smiled politely. please
put the hat on" he said, and the angry
man did so. Whistler looked him over
critically from head to foot; then in
his peculiar, drawing manner, he
said:
quite right, quite right, sir, It does
not fit Neither does your coat; and
furthermore, your waistcoat is too
large. and your trousers are horrible

After Whistler went out, 1t took the
proprietor half an hour to convince

HIGHEST POINT IN OHIO.

That exploration and discovery In
the actual meaning Of the word are
not confined to the unchartered wilds
of Alaska is shown by the fact that
a new record altitude has been de-
termined for Ohio. Until recently the
highest point in Ohio, according to the
United States geological survey, was
near Mansfield, in Richland county.
the elevation of which is 1,479 feet
above sea level, but in the course of
Topographic surveying last summer by
the survey a point was found whose
elevation is 1850 feet above sea level,
or nearly 1000 feet higher than the
surface of Lake Erie. This place is
about two and onehalf miles east of
the city OF Bellefontaine, in Logan
county, and is locally known as Camp
bells Hill 1t is stated to be unlikely
that there is any higher point In Ohio:
as nearly the whole state has now
been geographically surveyed. The
lowest point in the state is on the
Ohio river and has an elevation Of
425 feet; the average elevation for
the whole state is not far from $50

The suggestion has been made that

give all of the eggs their hens lay on
Sunday for six Sundays, in order to
