Good Advice About Gossip
The Rutland Herald printed an ex-
cellent editorial this week under. the
caption Forget It." The Herald
might have added something to this
effect: when you hear a bit of idle
gossip, forget it." Few people in
dulge in malicious gossip, but it is a
pretty general practice to pass along
choice bit of scandal, about which
the narrators have no real knowledge.

Will Help The Institution.
The election of Capt. Ira L. Reeves
as president of Norwich University,
the state military college, promises to
open a new chapter of usefulness and
consistent growth for that institution.
Captain Reeves seems to be we'll fitted
in every way for the important office.
He is in the prime of manhood, with
long years of service ahead. Though
not West Pointer, he broke all rules
by sheer merit and rose from the
ranks to a position as commissioned
officer in the regular army. His field
service was creditable, evidence of
which were wounds received. Capt.
Reeves has made a thorough study of
the science of warfare and is the au-
thor of several works on the subject.
He has a very pleasing personality
and unusual executive ability. Under
his leadership, Norwich should move
steadily forward to what the Germans
call tits place in the sun.''-Herald

In the east which was organized for

A GLIMPSE OF SWINBURNE
5ayard Taylor Called Him PerVerse
WillfuI and Unreasonable.


WiIlfuI and Unreasonable.
In all important respects except one
l found him to be very much what /
anticipated, writes Laura Stedman in
the North American Review, quoting
Bayard Taylor's impression of Swim
burne. The exception is instead of
being a prematurely blase young man
Of the world, he is rather wilful, per-
verse, unreasonable, spoiled child. His
nature is still that Of the young Shell
ley, and my great fear is that it will
never be otherwise.
He needs the influence Of a nature
stronger that his in everything but the
imaginative faculty-such a nature as
Byron's was to Shelley. He has
a weak moral sense, but his offences
arise from colossal unbalanced affec-
tation. This, or something like it, is d
disOrganizing element in his nature
which quite Obscures the organizing
that is artistic-sense. What admire
in him; yet admire with q feeling Of
pain, is the mad, unrestrained prepon-
derance of the Imagination. It is a
gOdlike quality, but he sometimes uses
it like a devil. He greatly interests
my intellect, but does not touch me
magnetically.
He could have no power over me, but
on the contrary, felt that should
be able to influence him In a short
time. l had a letter from. him the
other day which shows that he feels
an intellectual relationship between US.
Now, this is not question Of relative
poetic power, but of a certain diversity
Of qualities, and i don't mean to be
egotistic in saying that might perform
somewhat of the same service for him
as Byron for Shelley. / feel that (if
It is not already too late) could help
him to some degree of poise, OF system.
Of law; in short, art
In this sense he moves my deepest
sympathy, for 1 see now the matter
that might be nodded into splendid
poet relapsing into formless conditions.
1t is sad. 1t is tragic, and If this fan
cy of mine be foolish, there it is, new
ertheless. Without this sense Of CIV
ing assistance a week alone with Swim
burne would be intolerable to me or
any other human being.

shakespeare and cervantss,

April %. besides being the festival of
England's national saint, says the Pail
Mall Gazette, is also the anniversary
of the death of both Shakespeare and
Cervantes. But, though both Shake
speare and Cervantes died on April %,
1916. there was actually an interval OF
ten days between the two deaths.
The explanation is that in 1916 Eng
land was still using the Julian calen-
dar, which in Roman Catholic coun-
tries had been superseded by the Gre
gorfan calendar In 1882. Cervantes
died on a Saturday; Shakespeare died
on the Tuesday falling ten days later.

BOWLERS BUSY WEEK
Defeated LyndonviIle and Barre In
Close Contests,

The bowlers had a busy time of it
last week, the local men being called
to face two crack teams, one of them
from Lyndonville and the other repre-
senting Barre. The locals were equal
to the occasion, however, and carried
off the honors in both events On
Wednesday night they led the Lyn-
donville opponents 1SO4-1279. The
first string went to the visitors but
they were unable to keep up the pace
in the next two frames.
The Barre bowlers were led by our
old friends Tommy Davidson who
showed by his work that the alley was
as familiar ground to him as the dia-
mond. His string of 273 was high
for the evening but his team mates
were unable to follow his pace and so
st. Johnsbury romped away with the
match by the score Of 1252-1182.
Manager Paradis has a game on
against Newport tonight and tomorrow
night Lyndonville will send down
what they consider the strongest team
available there. There is bound to be
lively doings in both these matches.

Falls

Falls.
The F. c. A. league got to going last
week with two closely contested
games. On Wednesday night the
Stars defeated the Independents 24-22
and on Friday night the A. G. team
was victorious over the G. G. The
score was 1921 and there were thrills
enough during the play for anyone.
1t is planned to run the league through
the winter months and an all star
team will be selected from the ranks
to represent the club against outside
teams. The F. @. A. five defeated Nc
Indoes at that place last Thursday
night by a score of 22-14. Van Dyke
of Tufts college was in the McIndoes
lineup but even with this speedy ac-
tor they were forced to take the
count from the st. Johnsbury quintet.

Mrs. Sarah Hamilton
ONE OF CASCO BAYS OLDEST
RESIDENTS PASSED AWAY.
Chebeague Island Mourns Loss of
Aunt Sarah, Beloved By All.

=
Residents of Great Chebeague were
shocked to learn of the death of Mrs.
Sarah Henley Hamilton, whose be.
loved title was Aunt Sarah" at her
nome near Central landing, Tuesday
afternoon, in the S9th year of her age.
Fhe most remarkable feature of
Aunt Sarah's life was her activity
and her intimate knowledge of events
OF the times, and her brilliancy of in
tellect up to the time of the present.
She had never been an invalid and
the cause of death was heart failure
brought on by acute indigestion, i'll
ness lasting only three or four hours.
DR.. l.. l.. Hale of Chebeague, who was
immediately called by Aunt Sarah's
sister, Mrs. Matilda Hamilton, arrived
In time to learn that his skill would
be unava1ling and Chebeague's oldest
resident passed away in his arms.
y Mrs. Hamilton was the widow of
Benjamin Hamilton, whom she mar
ried in 1858 at North Conway, n. H..
the place of her birth, and with whom
She lived on Chebeague, with the ex-
ception Of a few years at Portland,
until his death three years ago. She
was the daughter of Frye H. and Han
nah U. Eastman and was born in
North Conway, Sept. 16, 1926, one of
family of eleven children, of whom
her sister, Mrs. Matilda Hamilton, 70,
is the sole survivor today. The
longevity of the members of the fam
lily who reached maturity has been
remarkable. Henry Eastman lived
ga years, Sumner Eastman, 80, Mrs.
Louisa Weber, 81 and Mrs. Julia
Bennett, 90
Mrs. Hamilton leaves one son, Capt.
Clifford E. Hamilton, of Waltham.
Mass, who spent two weeks here with
his mother this month accompanied
I by his wife.
Mrs. Hamilton and her husband were
we'll known and loved by summer resi-
dents for two or three decades, having
been proprietors Of the Bay View
House at the East end for many years.
Each summer Aunt Sarah's" home
was the Mecca of the elders among the
-otnists, VINO loved TO see her and
talk with her, even after, in her later
years she became quite deaf Her
grasp of affairs, whether local or gen.
eral was Indicative of a mind of rare
perception and no one who knew her
will ever forget the hours spent under
her hospitable roof. The island
people, year round residents, are out
spoken in their sense of loss and a
void which will never quite be filled
must exist in their hearts as the years
go on. Aunt Sarah had an abiding
faith in her religion and was a men,
Der of the Methodist church on the
island. Her thoughts and aspirations
were always of the highest things and
many a soul, broken in spirit, has
gone forth from her roof with renewed
courage and faith to take up life's
battle anew.
The funeral will be held from her
late home at two o'clock today
and the interment will be in the
Chebeague cemetery in the little plot
where other members Of her family
have already been laid to rest.
