NEW ENGLAND'S WEST POINT"

A deputation from Norwich Univer,
sity, the military college Of the State
Of Vermont, arrive Thursday morning
in New York City. The object Of the
party is to bring TO the attention Of
the school men and students of New
York the plan Of simultaneous train
ing for both civil and military prepar-
edness carried out at Norwich. This
plan has been developed in process Of
time, but is essentially as laid down
nearly a century ago by Captain Alden
Partridge, an ex-West Point superin-
.endent, who founded the institution.
The deputation is made up Of Prof.
X. X. b. Flint, captain, Of the depart
ment of political science; Cadet Major
Edmunds and Cadet Captain Ryder.
Prof Flint has been connected with
the institution a number of years and
will give the lectures on political sci
ence at the summer school of citizen
ship during July and August. The
two cadet officers are members of tha
under graduate body, and have charge
not only Of The drilling, but also of the
discipline Of their respective com
mands.
The student body Of Norwich are all
enlisted in the first squadron of the
First Vermont Cavalry, and make W
almost the whole Of that organization.
As such The connection with the state
is very close and the best Of equip
ment and instruction is available,
Each cadet is required to learn riding.
The New York and Vermont cavalry
are grouped under one inspection de-
tail with Captain ID. H. Biddle, Y. 5.

Municipal Building, New York City,

The founder, Captain Partridge,

JUDGE WEEKS AS DESCRIBED BY
THE LATE JACK HARRIS

II is not supposable that omnipo-
tence ever made a mistake, but if the
Eternal Architect ever had such mo-
men.ary lapse it was when he designed
John f. Weeks and located large and
energetic soul in perhaps too frail a
body. His immense voltage is fire.
quently ease of powerful motor rack
ing too light frame, but the latter
has thus far fairly well withstood the
strain He was born in the thriving
and substantial town of Salisbury,
June ID, 1854, located in Middlebury in
! 1896, and is now and always has been
large and successful farmer. His
school education was finished at Mid
! dlebury High School, and since then
he has been taking a continuous course
in the great school Of life and with
results which have been splendidly
vindcated in his public career. This
latter includes service in The House in
1888 and in the Senate in 1896, in the
House again in 1912 and in his repre-
sentation of his town again this year,
when he was elevated to the position
Of speaker. From 1892 to 1894 he
was also associate judge Of his county
cour. and was State cattle commits
sioner in 1906. 1t is no disparagement
of his excellent services in the above
capacities, however, to say that his
larger and more pleasing title to the
consideration and regard Of the State
has come from his services on The
States penal boards. In 1898 he was
appointed to membership in the board
of trustees Of the State Industrial
School at Vergennes, and has been
chairman of the State board Of penal
institutions since 1906. 1t is in this
latter capacity, offering such limitless
opportunities for service Of the most
valuable and far-reaching nature, that
he has well won a pane and fame ex-
tending far beyond the borders of Yer
mont. The good book allows tina. "a
prophet is not without honor, save in
his own country" but this is not true
Of Mr. Weeks. For some time Yer
monters were slow to realize the mag
nitude and immense benefi. Of the
work he was certainly accomplishing
in the line Of prison reform, but they
fully realize it now and have con
stantly increasing respect and esteem
for the unostentatious and quiet-man-
ncred man who has accomplished SO
much to pu. Vermont in first place on
the map in penal uplift work. Judge I

CoIoring Rugs and Carpets.

IF the faded ingram or other carpet
u shows no holes, it will pay to color
it. After beating it and cleaning all
spots with soap and water or gasoline
lay it fiat on the floor and follow the
directions on the package Apply while
hot with a scrubbrush. This will color
one side. Fiber rugs and plain carpets
may be freshened wonderfully in this
manner. Use light blue on blue rug. tan
or orange for brown. light green for a
green rug. Do not get the dye too dark
or the rug will look muddy.
To remove ink frcm rug or carpet, i'm
medately sop sweet milk over the spot
and dry as much as possible with a dry
cloth. Then apply gasoline to take out
the grease that the milk would otherwise
leave. To remove SCOT from carpet
sprinkle the spot with salt. Let the salt
remain on the spot for about twenty min
