this scene of conflict, this lake of charm
and poetry, there will be in all citizens
a new interest in our great country, new
inspiration for the ordeals and tasks of
ordinary life, new determination that we
may be worthy descendants of those who
here finally conquered and here laid the
foundations of the nation.
"What events have happened here!
There is no place on this continent so fun
of interest, both in legend and in fact
that is stronger than fiction-in history
that has charm about it that no story
can rival We are interested first in
the discovery of this lake by the white
man. Nothing to me has seemed so Won
derful as this great land. waiting age
after age while thrones were being es'
tablished only to fall, and dynastes were
succeeding each other in the Old World.
Here was this vast continent silent, alone,
unknown, peopled by savages filled with
riches, waiting with its bencdiction for
the most favored of mankind This
thought of the dscoverer, coming for the
! first time through Lake Champlain, is
one which in interest and in the suggestion
of romance cannot be equalled in any ~
the retrospections of history.

was afterward, and much of tho enthu

AFASTIDIOUS THIEF.
Arrnycd in Carefully Selected OUTFIT
In Inrrc store.

Barre. June 13.--Booty valued at 800 or
more was taken from the clothing store
and boot shop of +. II. Rogers e. Co.
some time early this morning, the burg
lar gaining entrance to the store through
a roar window Not content with rifing
two cash registers to the extent of s33, IL,
the thief deliberately proceeded to invest
himself in a new suit of clothes, took the
precaution to aesure himself before
mirror that the rev summer apparel it-
ted perfectly, and then rummaged through
the shoe department until he found n
chic pair of tan boots. To complete the
outfit he selected a cap and apparently
did not spurn a quantity of jewelry in
one OF the show cases.
This nocturnal visitor maze slicl; get
away probably hou's before the break
was discovered by clerks who opened the
store at $50 O'Clock. The police are in
clined to associate the merchandising
burglar with the disappointed knight of
the jimmy who ran into i'll luck at the
Williamstown poStofce Monday morning,
although nothing but surmise links the
two affairs together. Evidently the burg
lar carried kit with him, for a crescent
shaped hole was cut in the window of the
office, a hole large enough to permit the
burglar to enter his hand and unlatch
the sash It was smooth sailing there
after and the thief must have gone about
his work without haste.

KEEPING UP RURAL SCHOOLS
Important Matter That Is Just Now
Engaging the Attention of Illinois
Educational Authorities.

MANY good school people are view
ing with alarm the new campaign for
better school buildings" says a bulle-
tin issued by the Illinois department of
public instruction. "They fear that
every dollar Put into new buildings
and equipment fixes more firmly the
position of the small district and con-
sequently postpones the time for con-
solidatiOn.
ut must be admitted that there Is
some ground for this fear. Every i'm
provement in the local o~ne-teacher
school district will constitute an argu-
ment against its discontinuance. How
ever, it is manifestly unjust to the 3OO,-
600 children in these rural schools to-
day to keep them living and working
under unfit and %insanitary conditions
in order that children of a later gen.
grafton may enjoy a better school OPP
portunity. Everyone will agree, no
doubt, that, where the people of sew
eral adjoining districts are practically
agreed upon consolidation, a delay in
the large improvement of existing
buildings for a year may be advisable"

Robins Meditations.

Auguste Rodin, the French sculptor,
is noted rs one who has wrought
greatly, created greatly, reflected glo-
riously. He delights in reading, but
he reads only old books. Above all he
delights in books of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries in their orig
inal editions. To his thinking most
modern books are not we'll enough
written, not well enough printed and
are not well enough bound. Only his
intimate friends-and his coachman-
know, it is said, how at times he Is
absorbed in himself and is oblivious
of all surroundings. At such times, Il
Is useless to speak to him. He answers
no one. He must be let alone in his
m%editations. When he returns from
Paris to the villa of Meudon the coach
mar opens the door of his carriage.
Rodin is awake, but thinking, and his
reverie must not be disturbed. So the
coachman closes the door, detaches the
horses, and leaves the carriage with
the man of genius in the middle of the
coach yard, and there he will continue
to dream, sometimes for hours.

would not happen if a case were pro-
vided for one pair at least, and hung

The cast is easily made. A piece of
thin cardboard will be needed for the
back. Take the scissors that are to
be in general use and lay them on the
cardboard; mark out q shape slightly
larger than the scissors with a pencil.
Cut this out, then cut three pieces of
silk or sateen; line the cardboard with
two of them, the third piece will need
a little cutting off in the front at the
top, as shown neatly buttonhole the
edges. Sew the pocket to the back
shape neatly; if liked, a thin cord the
same shade as the silk can be put
round.
On the pocket two or three little
flowers al be embroidered or painted.
A bow of ribbon is put on the back
so that the case will hang up. This
case will prove most useful, for not
only can the scissors always be found,
but 1t protects the steel, which is SO
easily affected by any change in the
atmosphere and often becomes rusty
if left without cover.

Arrangement of Home.

NO more important question con-
fronts the home builder than the ex-
posture of the rooms in his prospective
home, for no matter how charming a
house may be, 10 how convenient its
Interior arrangement, it cannot be en-
tirely successful unless each room has
a favorable exposure.
A living room having windows on its
east and west sides may capture both
the morning and afternoon sun, and
If in addition 1t opens out on a porch
facing the south, no more satisfactory
arrangement is possible.
A porch facing the south makes
a pleasant open-air living room in
warm weather, and a CHEEKY, glassed-
In sun parlor in the winter.
For the dining room an easterly ex-
posure is desirable, thus giving n
a cheerful amount of sunshine for
what is apt to be in many households
the most trying meal of the day.
The model kitchen will have win
dows facing both north and south. This
makes for comfort in summer, and adj
mits the late afternoon sun, which con-
siderably lengthens the hours of day
light.
South and west for the chambers is
b correct exposure, with windows
facing both ways IL possible.

Uncertain Humanity.

Briefly stated" we explained, "the
story of Enoch Arden was about as
follows: He went to sea and was
shipwrecked on an uninhabited island
where he remained for several years.
When at last he was rescued Mr.. Arden
put out for home with considerable
rapidity, only to find that during his
absence Mrs. Arden had married again.
What do you suppose was his subse-
quent action?
Hard to fgger,' replied Mr.. Gap
Johnson of Rumpus Ridge, Ark, who
had been listening with deep interest
to the recital. You can't tell which
way a toad will jump when you poke
him, and folks is just as peculiar.

wife's second husband or else borrowed
enough money of'm him to get back
