with whom he had ceased business
relations she still owed the larger
sum.

He was armed with ali the receipts
for payments made. He gave the
real estate man ten days to send him
the deed. And the deed arrived all
right.

Emmanuel hospital. On her death bed she
sent for Colorel Wharton and asked
him to take charge Of her affairs.

1t would be unfortunate ii the excel

home Of Vermont academy for SO many
years. should be allowed to fall into dis
use. Recently the school has been
meeting with some financial obstacles
that now seem to stand as big ohsuuc-

and vet the reported indebtedness Of
$4,000 is by no means an insuperable
obstacle if an energetic campaign were
TO be conducted among friends OF The
school and those throughout the count
nv who could be made friends But
that money once raised, IL would not
mean the end OF the efforts to secure
money because a secondary school Ike
that at SaNtons River must have an en-
dowmont fund In order TO meet the de-
mauds Of the times. No privately
owned school can stand the competi-
ton of the schools which are support
ed by The public purse, unless it has
substantial banking IN a permanent
fund which cannot be used, except as
to its income The privately owned
secondary schools all through this sec

which are well endowed are having a
