THE KINDLY DEEDS SOCIETY.
Cornwall, Vt.
By James M. Hubbard

By James M. Hubbard.
1t will be year next week since We
started the Kindly Deeds Society,"
said Molly to Carry and Dick who were
walking to school with her one day.
"Why wouldn't it be a good idea tc
have kind of anniversary meeting tc
celebrate it," asked Carry. at
wouldn't take much time for you to
write report of what we have done,
and Harold could tell how much we have
put in the box for our charity work
and the children could let him know
what they have earned by their lace
and other work, and he could put that
into his report. " that's first rate
idea" said Dick" and I'll help you all |
can, Molly, if you will write the report.
1t won't take much time or trouble for
Harold to do his part" At the regular
meeting of the society that afternoon
the proposal for an anniversary meeting
the next week was enthusiastically re-
ceived and they all promised to give
Molly and Harold all the facts they
wanted. Almost all Molly's spare time
for the next few days was spent in
writing her report. Her mother would
not let her help her in the house-work
as she was accustomed to, for she didn t
want her to get so tired that she couldn't
do anything on her report. So she had
all the evenings for a week to herself
for studying and writing. The little
Belgian orphan, Madelaine, was now
great comfort and helped in the house
work almost as well as Molly herself.
The anniversary meeting was by far
the very peasantest they had ever had
and fortunately not one member was
absent. Molly's report was very in
terestng, being history as well as a
simple record of all that the society had
done or tried to do. The visits to the
Lansdown district, among other things
were described at length. The treas
urer's report surprised everybody, for
they had no idea that so much money
had been given or earned. One of the
boys moved that the thanks of the
society be given to the secretary and
the treasurer, for all that they had
done to make the society success, and
the motion was carried unanimously.
Then Carry said, 81 move that a vote
of thanks be given to Miss Madelaine
Lanier for teaching US to make lace"
and this motion received the unanimous
and enthusiastic consent of the society.
A little before the time for closing a
knock at the door was heard, and Dick,
opening it, found Molly's mother stand
ing there. Just stepping inside she
simply said, Children, members of the
Kindly Deeds Society, you are invited

during the trip to California and the
great Exposition which he and Mrs,
Foote enjoyed together This was of
much interest to all, Several musicals
numbers were interspersed, The social
hour was much enjoyed. Old friend
greeting old friend, renewing old friend
ships and perhaps forming new ones,
and all expressing admiration and graf
itude for the "Chapter House" our new
Home.
Fine refreshments were served by an
efficient committee, ably assisted by
willing ones. Regrets were many that
illness kept away some Of the members
Thus has come and gone not "red
letter" day but an evening much en-
joyed and one to be long and happily
remembered.

WILL WARS EVER CEASE?
To the Editor of the Register;

To the Editor of the Register;
From the time Cain slew Abel to thu
present moment, man has been fight
ing animal Will he ever cease to b.
so? 1t is painful, but true, that history
affords little hope; but still there II
hope.
Using the thought of another con
slider these facts. Because a thing hal
always been, is not proof positive tina
it always will be. Witchcraft, little
thought of and little realized in our day
prevailed in by.gone ages, for un
numbered years. Thousands of pool
victims were burned at the stake, anC
good men and women stood by anC
smiled at their expiring agony. Moses
commanded, "Thou shalt not suffer /
witch to live" This command has beer
executed from the dawn of history, moi
simply in Salem, but in all parts Of the
world. In Europe during the seven
teenth century, it is said, 1900 witches
were executed. Up to the days of Johr
Wesley everybody believed in witch
craft. AS now, they said, "You cant
change human nature" Witchcraft is
permanent evil. 1t will never die.
But it has ceased to be. Wars will
cease to be.
Man is a changing, developing being,
and this is the hope of the world We
passed through the brute stage cons
ago and are still painfully and slowly
eliminating that Of US which is still
british. The ancients waged war and
gloried in it. We also go to war, then
apologize for it. We ale improving.
Then, too, cannibaism, so abhorrent to
us now actually existed at one time or
another in nearly every country on the
globe. Herodious, Strabo and St.
Jerome tell US about it. This revolving
practice has nearly ceased. Humanity
has advanced step. Torture applied
to criminals in court to force confession
of guilt was long practiced and approved
by the highest judicial authority. This
and many other barbarous customs have
ceased to be. Wars will cease to be.
Slavery we may well suppose, ex-
listed before the Pyramids of Egypt
saw light. Indeed the Pyramids them
selves might not have been except for
slave labor. Practically all the nations
of the world held slaves. 1t was look ed
upon as permanent institution. Human
nature demanded it. SO thoroughly
rooted in society was this institution
that even to predict its extinction would
have caused derision. Think of Cicero
in the Roman senate advocating the
freedom of the slaves! He would have
been deposed. And thus, alas, century
after century, yes, one millennium
after another rolled painfully and slowly
by and still the poor slave sweat blood
beneath his masters lash. We have
developed out of that barbarity. To-
day practically slavery has ceased to be.
Sometime wars will cease to be.

G|'yy'l with Waste
w. II. Sheldon Guarantees to Return
the Money If Mi-o-na Does Not
Relieve You.

ut is pleasure to sell medicine
when our customers come in afterward
and tell us how much good it has done
them" said W. Fl. Sheldon, the popular
druggist. to a Middlebury man, and that
is why we like to sell and recommend
Mi-o-na, the dyspepsia remedy. We
have so much faith in this article that
we are going to guarantee it in the flu
ture. and will return the money to any
purchaser of Mi-o-na whom it does not
help. That may seem rash, but our GUS
toners have said so many good words in
its favor that we do not expect to have
many packages returned.
"Anyone who has dyspepsia, whose
food does not digest well, and who has
to take thought as to what he can eat,
and when, can leave 80 cents deposit at
my store and take home box of Mi o-na
and if the remedy does not regulate his
digestion and help his dyspepsia he can
withdraw his money"
This shows great faith in the merit Of
Mi-o.na. 1t is really a most unusual
medicine and the rapid increase of sales
since w. ii. Sheldon introduced it in
Middlebury shows that it does all that it
is claimed to do-relieves dyspepsia,
regulates digestion and enables those
who use it to eat just what they want
with no fear of trouble after.-adv.

"GENTLEMEN'S NIGHT"

On Thursday evening, December Both,
The Mary Baker Allen chapter, D. AR,
observed Gentlemen Night" as has
been their usual custom each year, but
this time it was of more than usual in
terest, as they gathered for the first
time in their new home in the "Samson
Memorial Building" since its dedica-
ton. The sleighing was good, a clear,
cold winter evening, with unnumbered
stars glittering in the deep blue of the
sky, undimmed by a cloud. The ring
ing jangle of.many sleighbells mingled
with gay laughter and happy converse
of those gathering for the evening s
pleasure was but its beginning. Inside
was good cheer with the merry greet
ings of the season. While not yet com
Hete, all admired the pleasant rooms.
The handsome fire place, with it's fire
built for the first time, was much en-
joyed as it sent forth both light and
warmth, certain it is thing of
beauty" may it be joy for years to
come. About sixty were present to en-
joy the evenings entertainment opened
by welcome from the Regent, Mrs. C.
H. Lane, in her usual pleasing manner.
Two recitations by John Mott Hoyt, a
recent graduate of Middlebury College
were well received. A. w. Foote told of
some of his impressions and experiences

PARKER WILLIAMSON TO RE
TURN.

Word has been received that Prof. H.
P. Williamson de Visme, who will be
remembered as a former Middlebury
boy and a graduate of the college in the
class of 1896, will return to have charge
of the work in French in connection
with the Eighth Summer Session of the
College. Paul-Louis Jeanrenaud, the
co-director of Prof. Williamson de
Visme's Ecole du Chateau de Soisy, at
Soisy-sous- Etoilles, France will assist
him, as in the summer of 1914. This
will be welcome news, particularly to
former pupils, since it makes the
French scooo an assured fact for the
coming summer Persons who have
friends interested in the study of French
will do them akindness to pass the word
along; the French School will afford,
without question, the best opportunity
in New England for intensive study of
French language and literature.
There has just been added to the
College Library copy of cat French
Chateau" a little volume by Miss
Marian Kimball of Montpelier, VT,
describing the authors visit at Prof.
Williamson de Visme's school in the
summer of 1913. The book describes in
a pleasing fashion life at the Chateau
school, and is copiously illustrated with
photographs taken by the author. 1t
will be of especial interest to the
people because of Prof. Williamson's
return.

THE STRANGE" NEW CREATURE
FOUND NEAR GUILFORD.

The last issue of the Middlebury
Register reports, under the Vermont
News Items, the finding by Mr.. Lee Of
Guilford, of a strangely fashioned
creature" which is described as a
"lizzaid, about seven inches long,
black, with yellow spots on each side
extending to the tail. 1t crawls like an
alligator and has little toes resembling
human fingers. "
1t is seldom that lay description is
so accurate as the above, and the writer
is enabled to identify the animal at once.
1t is salamander, known to naturalists
as Amblystoma punctatem.
The salamanders are tailed amphi-
bans; that is, they belong to the same
general group Of animals as the frogs
and toads. They are not "lizards"
from which they differ in many re-
spects. The finder of the specimen
mentioned could have easily determined
this by noting that the skin was smooth
and shiny, like that of frog, and not
covered with scales which is charac-
teristic of the skin of lizards.
These salamanders are far from un-
common in Vermont, although they are
not frequently met with owing to their
subterranean habits. They come forth
from their underground burrows in the
early spring to lay their eggs in ponds
and pools of water. Their retiring
habits make them shy and hard to
approach at this time. Their eggs are
enclosed in masses of gelatin, like those
of the frog, but can be identified by the
fact that they always enclose stick or
or stout grassstem by which they are
supported in the water. After the eggs
are laid the salamanders leave the water
and burrow deeply in moist soil where
they are likely to remain for the rest of
the year.
The Amblystoma found near Guilford
had probably been led to leave its bur
row by the recent rains and the warm
ing of the earth near its tunnel by the
sun, which is not infrequently the case
The writer recalls finding one not far
from Hanover, N. H., in the month of
February, which had been enticed from
its subterranean home by the warm
sun falling directly on the clay bank in
which it was passing the winter. 1t
had crawled out on the snow where it
lay quite helpless from the chill.
Several of these animals have been
found in Middlebury each spring, and
there is an excellent specimen pre-
served in the Natural History collection
at Middlebury College which the writer
secured last April near the Porter Field.
The fact that the creatures are found |
now and then which occasions surprise
because they are so apparently |
strange, and which, in most cases,
are not at all uncommon, is a strong
argument for the teaching of the sim
pie facts of natural history in our pub
lie schools. The fault with such teach
ing, where it occurs, is that it is con-
tented with an effort to arouse an Gin
terest" in nature, rather than to estab-
fish sound knowledge of the charac-
tiers by which the various kinds of ami
mails and plants may be distinguished;
so that little cousin to the frog would
not be called lizard even though it ap-
pears to crawl like an alligator.

DECLINE OF PRICES
 OF ORE EXPLAINED

The result was that all of the min. ing men interested got busy" at practically one and the same time. The first shipments did not flood the market, and therefore the price con. tinued to stay up, but as soon as the Chinese ores began to be shipped the price dropped. For China Is a big antimony producing country, and the ore can be mined much cheaper there than anywhere else in the world.
 Which is the reason why there are between 75O and 1000 tons of antlmoay and tungsten ores from the Fairbanks district lying on the docks at Seattle at the present time. Whether or not the market prices of the ores will rise again remains to be seen. But the Fairbanksans who own the ore are optimistic over the situation being de- termined to hold their property until the price goes up again. For at -he present quotations the ore would not pay for it's mining and transportation. let alone a profit to It's owners.
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-11-18
(From Fairbanks citizen.)

A year ago last spring Si Scrafford and other kindred spirits who follow mining and keep track of the prices 0: various ores. as quoted In the min- ing Journals and magazines. made he oiscovery that there were other ores here which could be mined at a profit. Ire raise In the price of the pure metals was undoubtedly occasioned by tt..' great European war. One of these ores was antimony.
 Mir. Scrafford, when he made the d scovery was in New York city at- tempting 70 raise capital to go through with the quartz mining deal here. He immediately dropped the quartz deal, however. when he saw the quoted prices of antimony and realized that 1t would stay high, for a time, at least. for he knew where considerable autimony could be found in the Fair banks district. The result was that last winter Fairbanks had the largest
