CONDITIONS, OLD AND NEW

Were II possible for our great
grandfathers and grandmothers TO

and be told that this Ia the same
world they once lived in. they would.
no doubt, say. "0h. no; that can't b,
so. We see so much change now IT,

The writer of this can well remem.
Der. seventy years ago. when freight
was carried across the kings high
ways, In Scotland, ON heavy wagons.
drawn by powerful horses. the wagons
being covered with waterproof cover
ings to protect the freight they con-
tanned from the inclemency OF the
weather.
lie can also remember the build
ing OF the first railroad that connected
the south with the north OF Scotland,
and the great surprise occasloncd by
the first sight there of a. kissing, toot-
ing railroad engine.
The little village in which | lived
was cut la twain TO furnish suitable
right of way for this railway, which
afterwards proved such blessing to
the country, In reducing exorbitant
freight rates and in making travel
cheap, convenient and comfortable TO
the general public.
At that early day newspapers were
scarce and expensive, so much so that
the hond-loom weaycrs used TO club

come, would select one of their best

PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The attention of patrons of the pub
lie library is called to St me of the best
fiction recently added. Ernest Poole's
"The Harbor" and Booth Harrington
THE Turmoil" both deal with social
and business life in America. A. G.
Walters "Bealby" is in this authors
well-known humorous vein. The new
list of books to be added in three or four
weeks contains Katherine Fullerton
Gerould's The Great Tradition" a
collection of tshort stories which critics
say are of such quality as to place
Mrs. Gerould in the foremost rank of
American short story writers.
In the non-fiction recently added are
such books as President Finley's The
French in the Heart of America, - which
equals Parkman's books in interest,
X. G.. Usher's "Pan-Americanism
which is a companion volume to his
"Pan- Germanism, is of Great interest
but shows the authors or publishers
haste to get it on the market at once.
"Latin-America," series of addresses
delivered at Clarke University, is of
unrivaled interest at the present NOM
ent, especially the addresses dealing
with the Mexican situation.
In the drama are found Alice Brown 5
"Children of Earth where she sets
forth the serious size of New England
life with herusual charm and sympathy.
Barrie's Half hours" volume of
Short plays, containing The Twelve
Pound Look" in which Ethel Barry
more appeared on the American
stage The volume, Contemporary
Dramatics, has many plays by
dramatic writers of the first rank.
Other books of interest in non-fictior
are in the bookcase of recent accession,
to which the attention of all readers is
called.
As in all public libraries, the circu-
lation of fiction leads, but, as the aver
age in the Middebury public library
is only about 81 per cent, it is
evident that the public reads some
thing besides fiction.

of the Congregation that gathered to do
honor to the dead woman's memory
testified eloquently to the enviable
place she has occupied in popular re-
gard. She was born January 4th, 1875.

beautiful pillow from the East Middle
bury friends. Her husband, Clyde
Olmstad, died five years ago last May,

operation for appendicitis. The opera
ton was very successful. A great
change came early Friday morning when
! hpr Dponle were notified and she failed
very fast, being conscious nearly to the
last, which came at nine o'clock. She
is survived by daughter, Alberta, a
father, one sister and two brothers,
and a mother-in-law to mourn her loss.
The bearers were William and Clinton
Tisdale, Edward Day, Arthur Bradley,
Burt Peck and Arthur Douglas, all
former neighbors, Of East Middlebury.

pate in the services of rededication of

thanks was given the donors of the fund

social half hour followed the services.
A number from the Middlebury church
were present, also guests from Corn
wall and New Haven, all showing them
selves to be interested in the good work
| by their attendance.

have fallen into the habit of dating
everything in my life from the time
of my Gripping accident.
When l was little girl, some years
before my accident. used to see the
young fellow at the window Of the
adjacent house. The family had just
moved in. but we did not know each
other. In large towns this is often
the way.
am three years older than Madge,
my sister, and it always behooved me
to set her a good example. Perhaps
on that account was especially anxi-
GUS that she should not see me ex.
change glances with the boy at the
window opposite. And Madge was
always the beauty. while l am plain;
what I could do Madge must not do
without more serious consequences.
The house was ours. Our parents
had died when We were small, and an
aunt came to live with us and take
charge When she died was twenty
two and Madge nineteen. We stayed
on in the house, but our annuity was
a tiny one. There was just enough
money to let us exist and little more.
We used to talk about our future. OF
course we both expected to be mar
ried.
If marry first" said Madge. you
will come and live with US until you
marry"
who would marry an ugly duckling
like me?' l asked, though in my heart
knew some day the man would come.
Madge was indignant with me. She
always saw me through the glasses
Of love. But beside Madge was a
black little dwarf. Madge had one of
those saints faces. and wealth Of
golden hair that made her wonderful.
II we had been like other girls
mean, used to social life-her admir-.
ers would have been innumerable.
All this while the family had lived
next door. We had come to know
them slightly. Roger. the young man
was away at college. We had not
seen him for years.
Then came the accident. 1t was q
fall from our buggy In a runaway, and
when recovered consciousness l was
lying at home in my own bed, and the
room was darkened. Before me sal
