burst into the room dressed up as Santa
Claus with white coat and hat and
long white beard their establishment
knew no bounds. They stared and they
listened as the children stood up and
gave him song of greeting. Then they
watched with the keenest interest as
one child after another went up and
received something from Santa Claus.
But they could hardly believe their ears
when they heard their names called and
each went up, coming back with bag
of candy and little package, the open
ing of which gave them the greatest
delight they ever had For they had
never experienced anything like this
before. Some of the girls were so
overcome that they burst into tears
when they took their seats Mollie
noticed it, and reckoning to one or two
of the older girls, they went up to
the n, put their arms around them and
told them how glad they all were to
have them come, and they hoped to see
them at Sunday School This was the
beginning of a lasting frier dship which
meant everything to these poor girls.
When they got home Jennie said,
Mother, don't see how we could
have lived so near such nice people and
never have known them. well, my
dear girl. " said the mother whose heart
was very much touched, ''it shall not
be so any longer, if | can help it. They
are dear girls and boys and | shall love
to have you be with them. After
the opening exercises at school the next
day, the teacher called Molie and Dick
up to her desk, and then said to the
scholars, Children, ! want to thank
you for what you did for those poor
forlorn Landsdown boys and girls; and
to say that | feel proud to have such
scholars in my school. You certainly
have begun your Girls Friendly and
Boy Scout societies in the very best
way doing a kindly deed." And she
put her arm around Molhe and drew hel
up close to her and kissed her affec.
tionately. The other arm drew Dick tc
her and she stopped down and dropped a
kiss on his forehead

THE BATTELL WILL.

The marked devotion of the late
Joseph Battell to Middlebury college is
further revealed in the splendid requests
which he made to that institution, the
aggregate of money, land and other
property donations being practically the
entire large estate Included in the be-
queathment is the valuable printing plant
of the Middlebury Register, anewspaper
which is published in good field for
newspaper endeavor and which might
prove a valuable adjunct to the various
activities of the college if the trustees
of the institution should see their way
clear to the operation of the plant.
Taken altogether the requests to the
college are the most munifcent that
have fallen to any Vermont institution
in long time and they are calculated
to place the college on a more indie
pendent plane, and less influenced by the
decisions of succeeding legislatures
which may be appealed to for State
aid. The will also reveals the testator' 5
love of nature through his requests for
the maintenance of parks; and in those
largesses the college, the town of Mid
dlebury the State and the United States
itself share either directly or indirectly
Perhaps the State of Vermont is the
chief gamer, though not a direct legatee
of the will, inasmuch as all the land
bequeathed for park purposes lies in the
State of Vermont and, as so located. be-
comes an asset to the State in the
light of the benefits which accrue from
public parks and forest reservations,
albeit there may be some resultant loss
by withdrawal of property for purposes
of taxation. incidentally, it NAV be
remarked that Middlebury college has
had imposed upon it considerable burden
of responsibility for wise adminstra-
ton of an extensive property.

East Middlebury lmproVem me n t
Society Supper

The supper furnished by the East
Middlebury Improvement society We'd
nesday evening, March 18th, was a
success socially and financially. The
soliciting committee desire to thank all
who assisted them in any way, especially
the people on North and South streets,
who could hardly be expected to take
such vital interest in the success of
the society as those who live on the
Main street. Nearly every one re-
sponded generously and the few who
felt that they could not help in a
material way said so in such gracious,
kindly way by giving them smile and
wishing them success that the com
mittee were not discouraged or hindered
in their work. From 5 o'clock until
nearly O'Clock the seating capacity
of the long tables was all taken by
those who enjoyed the splendid supper
furnished by the members of the
improvement society and their friends.
About S32 was realized for the
treasury of the society.

fire at Enos burg Falls.

Fire losses aggregating nearly $780,
600 were sustained in Enosburg Falls
early Sunday when the Msssquoi
FIGURING mill, owned by L. L. Marsh,
and the Owls Head,creamery and cheese
factory, owned by the c. H. Thayer
estate of Worcester, Mass, We're
burned to the ground. The fire was dis
covered at $50 O'Clock and is believed
to have originated around the boiler in
the creamery. The village hose com
panies responded to the alarm, but so
rapidly did the flames make their way
through the wooden structures that the
firemen could do little but turn their eff
forts toward saving adjoining property.
A number of dwellings were threatened
and it was with difficulty that long
wooden bridge, which crosses the Mis-
sisquoi river just below the mill was
kept from burning.
Hundreds of tons of grain were stored
in the MILL which was one of the largest
OF its kind in northern Vermont. Cheeses
for the export trade were stored IN
in quantities in a building adjoining the
factory. Their market value was $4
600 and the loss in this instance is not
covered by insurance.
The grist mill, three-story structure,
was valued at $1,000. Only the cash
register and few books in the office
were saved. The creamery, a part OF
which had been converted into a factory
for the manufacture of Italian cheeses,
was a more modern building, having
been erected only few years ago at q
cost of $4,000 1t was insured fol
81, 600.

Trout for Vermont.

The State fish and game commissioner
proposes to have Vermont trout streams
more heavily stocked this season than
ever before provided the fishing license
bill, needed to pay the expense, becomes
law With that end in view he is max
ing tentative arrangements with some
of the more important commercial batch
cries for a large number of lingering
trout, to supplement those produced at
the State hatchery. BY taking prompt
action and stocking the waters this
season, the fishermen will begin to reap
the benefits of the license law one year
earlier than would otherwise be the
case. As these fngerlings will not be
available for distribution until late in
the summer, the revenue from the fish
ing license may be used to meet the ex-
pense.
The State endeaN ors to meet all re-
quests from responsible persons for fish
to stock waters, delivering the fish free
of charge at the applicant S nearest rail-
road station. Any reader of this paper
who may wish to stock any brook, river
or water in his neighborhood may OBJ
tain fish for the same by writing the
commissioner asking for one blank for
each water it is desired to stock. The
State furnishes fish free of charge for
public waters only, and by public waters
is meant waters that are open to all
persons who may wish to fish therein.
Applications for blanks should be ad-
dressed toJ. W. Titcomb, commissioner,
Lyndonville.

THE u. V. NJ. BILL


Considering the expectation of a
State tax and deficit in case appropri-
ations are not trimmed to the quick
there is certainly the merit of superb
etfrontery in the Shaw bill, S. l24, to
present every student attending the
University of Vermont and Middle
bury college with gratuity of $40, to
apply on the expense of securing a
lib raj" education. The sum to be
appropriated is $50, 600 and the pro-
posal is that this brand of liberal educa-
ton shall be thus secured in the colleges
named The Herald moves to amend
by paying all expenses of all students
at all State institutions of higher learn
ing and THEN presenting each student
with $40, Let us be liberal as long as
we must face direct tax and pay it
