General John B. Gordon used to
tell a story illustrating the seri-
BUSINESS, or rather the lack Of seri-
BUSINESS, with which Confederate
money was taken. He says that
one day during a temporary ces-
sation Of hostilities between the
opposing forces a tall, strapping
Yankee rode into the Confeder-
ate camp on a sorry-looking old
horse to effect a trade for some
tobacco. :
"Hullo, Yank!" hailed one of
a number Of Confederate soldiers
lolling about on the grass in front
of a tent" that's a right smart
horse you all got there"
"Think 500" returned the
Yank.

him?"
ooh, I don't know"
"Well, I give you seven thou
sand dollars for him." bantered
the Confederate,
"You go to blazes?" indignant
ly returned the Yank; "I've just
paid ten thousand dollars Of your
money to have him curried."

PART OF THE PIG.

[ heard Of a man who was on
trial, charged with stealing a pig.
The evidence was very strong
and all went to prove the man
guilty Of stealing the pig. The
mans lawyer was hopeless, but
the man was confident. The case
was finished, and the jury retired,
returning in a few minutes with
a verdict Of ,"NOT GUILTY"
The man asked his lawyer how
much he charged for his services.
Well, sir" said the lawyer, eff

[ will not charge you anything"
What is your question? 2" said the
man. Why" said the lawyer, "I
want to know how that jury ever
cleared you in the face Of such
evidence as that" "That's
easy" said the man; "eleven Of
that jury ate part of the pig"
A Methodist preacher was ask

She Had But Two.

In the absence of his wife and
the illness of the servant, Mr..
Taylor undertook to help three
year-old Marjory to dress.
He had succeeded in getting her
arms in the sleeves and through
the armholes Of her garments and
had buttoned her into them. Then
he told her to put on her shoes
herself and he would button them.
He soon discovered that she was
vainly striving to put a left shoe
on her right foot.
"Why, Marjory," he said, i'm
patiently, "don't you know any

Once when he was there it was so

to the floor Of his room. In the

SAW-CIETY.

One Of the most foolish, redicHf-
GUS, absurd, nonsensical things,
IN this country Of jokes is the lit
tie bunch Of Well-to-do loafers in
the land that is called "Society,'
or as Sam Jones used to call it
|"Saw-ciety," It is composed Of
the few folks who can live without
work, and who look upon work as
being a disgrace. They are the
swells, if you please, that like
leeches r living off Of the labor
Of others but who are too good to.
do anything that could possibly
be Of any use.
Up in. Washington recently the
name Of a prominent nurse was,
presented for membership in one
Of the "Saw-ciety Clubs" and it
raised a row in the leeches' camp.
Why, the idea of letting a woman
who did any kind of work join
this club Of swell loafers! Horri-
BILE! Why she would defle the
whole club Of sweet-scented
swells.>
And it isn't only in Washing
tons society clubs that people
who work are ruled out from
Sawciety.' Even in any
little one-horse town of only a few
thousand inhabitants there are
usually a few half-strain swells
that stick up their little empty
knots high in the air and Strut
IKE peacocks and will not asso-
clate with ordinary mortals. tt
Is really laughable to see how
quick they will drop n Of their
crowd: if they defle themselves
by going to work.
But the most sickening sioht of
all IS to see these saw-cietv neo-
pie assemble in a stained-eiass
window steeple house which thew
have paid for out of the hard
earnings Of the poor, and there
claim to "~worship" the lowlv and r
despised Nazarene who said

CARNEGIE'S HEAVEN.

Your Uncle Andy Carnegie
balanced himself on one end be-
fore a crowd of mutton-heads the
other day and went through the
motions Of making a speech.
Among other wise sayings
which old Andy pumped through
the cash in his face was something
like this:
Gentlemen, this world is like
heaven to me. If it were posi-
BILE to prolong life here indefinite
", you might name your own
terms, and l would not haggle
over the price,
Yes, confound his old pamper-
ed hide, / reckon it might seem
a little more like heaven to some
OF the rest Of us if we had as much
money as he's got to buy a big
time with. just look at his nerve +!
He would take his stolen money
that ought to buy other folks a lit
tie smell Of heaven here in this
life-and just hog up the entire
supply Of bliss for himself. Was
ever such pinch-gutted selfish
ness heard Of before? It's a
fortunate thing for the rest Of us
that the outlawry Of the million
aires is limited to a brief span of
years.
Most anybody could sit back in.
a gilded palace and talk about.
this world being a "heaven."
But you put old Andy down in
one of his own steel mills, or some
Of the other mills Of Mammon,
and let him toll and sweat for ten
hours a day on starvation wages.
and finally get an arm or leg torn
off in the roaring machinery.
Then lay him off to starye or go
to the poor house, and see if he
tunes up his mealy mouth and
says "heaven" airy time.
It's been a long time since Andy
worked for three dollars a week
and slept on the floor, and he's
forgot how it felt.
Oh, yes, this world is a pretty
bang-up sort Of a joint for the
Teller who can manage to bull
dose the rest of humanity and
take what they work for. Ease
and opulence very naturally make
a Teller optimistic and satisfied
with life. It's no wonder that
such a man would want to settle
down and stay. here forever. He
can afford to, because he's got
everything coming his own way.
But while one man is building
for himself such a. millionaire's
heaven as Carnegie is now enjoy
ing. he creates a miserable hell On
earth for thousands of his fellow
creatures. And if he had any
human feeling about him he
couldn't enjoy his "heaven" for
thinking Of the misery it had cost
others.
But Andy and his sort are not
bothered with any such feelings.
They are so hardened in sin that
conscience no longer speaks and
if it spoke it would not be heard.
Go ahead, Andy, and enjoy
your "heaven" here in this life,
for I'm mighty 'fraid it's the only
one you'll ever have.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.

MEL phl VIZ nm iSibiNth'N'fh'''
The circulation of books and maga-
zines for the year ending January 81,
1917, has been 21S69. Of the circulation
of books 60per cent was fiction; u per
cent non-fction; 2S per cent juvenile,
of which is was not stories The av T.
age daily circulation has been 72. The
number of new patrons has been 2OS,
making a total of 1852 since 1911. 1he
fines for the year are $lO835.
The reading table has been supplied
with seventeen monthly magazines 1.-TWO
copies of Popular Science) and five
weekly papers, three of which were
gifts. The pupils of the High school
have used the magazines more than any
previous year, The magazines read the
most by them are Popular Mechanics
and Popular Science Monthly.
The number of books added since
February /, 1,1916, is 33l. OF this num-
ber, 68 were gifts and 10 were the
volumes of makazines bound, making
the number of those bought 253. The
last accession number is $3.50.
The number of books mended is 675;
number rebound l04. Several of the
teachers in the village and district
schools have availed themselves of the
privilege of taking as many books as
desired for the use of teachers and
pupils. One of the district teachers re-
ported that her pupils greeted her on
the first day of school with the question,
care you going to get some more books
from the library?"
The problems connected with the IL
brary are the same as those of last year
but their solution is more urgent, some
of these are: o. How to house 5000
volumes in space adequate for only
about 1000; a. How to make the
work of a library effectual where there
is no reading room (hardly space for a
small reading table, no work room, and
no children's room.
The librarian urges any one interested
in the welfare OF Middlebury, to con-
slider seriously whether it Is not worth
while to provide library building
where the work done for young people
and children shall compare favorably
with that done in other towns in Yer.
mont.

UNION SERVICE.

The cordial cooperation of the COL
lege authorities has made it possible
for those responsible for the series of
union services to present Miss Margaret
Slattery of Boston, Mass, as the
speaker at the Congregational church
next Sunday evening. Miss Slattery
has a national reputation as a speaker
of unusual ability and power. Her
books f)r young people are deservedly
popular because of their inspiring help
fulness. Her addresses at the State
Sunday school convention at Brattle-
boro last fall won enthusiastic praise
from those who were privileged to hear
them. 1t is expected that a large
number of people will desire to avail
themselves Of the opportunity to hear
her at the union service. Delegations
from churches in adjoining towns are
planning to be present.
