And look at leaves once more.
We've wadcd in the slush, and

Before we see the pussies' nod
And hear the robins song.

Mrs. Marguerite Sherlock of
Lancaster, N. H., is fast coming

lar reader. On her second appear
ance here Friday night Athenaeum
hall was filled and the Round
Table of the North church under
whose auspices she appeared en-
riched their treasury considerably
by the entertainment. Mrs. Sher-
lock proved so pleasing an enter
tainer when she appeared here in

that members of the Round Table
at once booked her for a number.
Green Stockings, a three act
English play sparkling with humor
and abounding with ludicrous sit
uations, was the happy selection
of Mrs. Sherlock. She peoplcd the
stage with a variety of English
characters as we'll as one import
ed from Chicago, brought every
scene of the play out with great
clearncss, showed up the idiosyn-
cracies of the various characters,
al all together gave one of the
most pleasing entertainments seen
here in many day.
The reader was presented by
Mrs. Il. II. Burke, president Of
the Round Table and at the open
ing and between the scenes, the
audience enjoyed numbers by Il
musical trio, Miss Laura Shields,
piano, Miss Frances Taylor and
Miss Helen Porter, violins. Miss

Former Emperor Charles of
Austria Hungary and his wife,
Zita, were sent into exile by the
Entente Allies after he had made
two spectacular attempts to re-
gain the thrones either of Austria
or Hungary Thereafter he was
kept Il political prisoner on the
Portuguese island of Madeira, 400
miles off the African coast.
Although his situation in exile
there resembled in some respects
that of Napoleon at st. Helena,
Charles and Zita occupied a much
more comfortable position for
they were given a pleasant home
in the beautiful city of Funchal
whose residents treated them with
friendly consideration.
Ex- Empress Zita had left her
children in Switzerland and when
one OF them was taken i'll, the
Allied government permitted her
to return to that country and
visit them.
After the establishment of the
Austrian republic on November
II, 1918, Charles, who was then
in Austria, sought permission to
remain in that country but he was
asked to leave after it was found
he was plotting for his resump-
ton OF power. He left with his
family late in March, 1919, and
rented a house on the banks of
Lake Geneva at Prangins. where
he resided for some months.
On March 90, 1921, he suddenly
appeared in Vienna but, his over
lures being repuIscd by the Aus
trian authorities, he went to Buda-
pest, where he attempted to take
over the Hungarian government
from Admiral Horthy, Hungarian
regent, but without success.
On April 6 he reentered Swift
zerland which received him on
the understanding he would en-
gage in no more intrigues or pro-
paganda. The Swiss Increased
their guard over him but on Octo-
Der % he reached Raab, Hungary,
having crossed the Swiss frontier
in an airplane. He formed "leg-
itimst cabinet" at Raab and
marched on Budapest with an
army of 10000 men.
The Hungarian government
sent loyal troops against him and
he was finally captured with his
wife near komorn and confined in
the castle at Tata Tovaros until
the Entente Allies determined
that he should not again have am
opportunity to attempt a coup
d'efat, sent them to Madeira,
where they arrived Nov. 10, 1921.

PUBLIC SERVICE
HEARING AT
NORTH TROY
Blair Veneer Co. Wants
to Extend Its Electric
Service

At the second hearing before the
Vermont Public Service commits
sion in Hammond hall, North
RTroy, upon the petition of the
Blair Veneer company for leave to
amend its charter so as to author
ize it to manufacture electricity
and distribute and sell it for light
and power purposes, the petition
was opposed by the Frontier Elec-
trio company. Both corporations
are local ones.
The Frontier company claims
that if it has to meet such pros
pecive competition it would be
much endangered or crippled. 1t
was admitted that the Blair COM
pany is physically and financially
capable of undertaking the mat
ter, and that the Frontier company
has not during the past year been
able to supply anything like ade-
quate service for this place, and
that electricity is now greatly re-
quired here and throughout the
Missisquoi vallev and perhaps else
where.
Attorney O. S. Annis appeared
for Blair Veneer company, making
a statement in whic.. he set forth
that his client had no controversy
with the Frontier company or any
one else nor any desire or DISPOSE
ton to in any way interfere with
the business of any other person
or party, further then as such
might be affected it at all by such
patronage as the Blair Veneer
company might obtain; but all that
the petitioner asked was the right
TO make and distribute electricity
with it so other manufacturing and
called attention to the section of
the statute which provides that no
construction shall be placed upon
the provisions of law so as to give
the Commission power to prevent
or restrict competition or limit the
number of persons enga~ed in the
business of furnishing light. heat
or power in any town.
Z. H. Deavitt OF Montpelier ap-
peared for the Frontier Electric
company and asked time ito file an
answer to the legal proposition
submitted by Mr.. Annis. This was
the second hearing, the first one
being held March 9.
1t is expected tiat the Commis-
sion will file a report in Il short
time.

ATHENAEUM HAS
BIGGEST MONTH
IN HISTORY
Record of Nearly 10000
Books Handled In
March

The Athenaclm reached the
high tide of service in Marcn when
nearly 5000 books were taken out.
This was a record month in the
history of the library, and was APP
preached only by January of the
present year when 1928 books were
read. The exact figures for March
are 300. As practically every book
going out means one returned, tins
means that the four workers at
the Athenaeum handled nearly
12000 books with all the detail of
service pertaining to the circula-
ton.
And this only one department of
the work Between 200 and 300
magazines are i'm circulation month
ly and every day brings a variety
of requests for .eferencc work.
Few realize the infinite amount of
time the librar7r workers give to
reference work and the endless de-
tail it all involves. A representa-
tive of this paper had an lllustra-
ton of this in finding the whole
force at work on reference that
Spanned more than two score
years. Some patron of the library
submitted thcis query: "Were jim
Crow cars in use in Washington
in 1861 and up to 19O3?' 1t
-ccmed like a poser but Miss Cor
nelia Fairbanks, the Librarian, and
her assistants went to work and
the information vas dug out for
the student of "Jim Crow condl-
tions.-
Vacation periods when the schools
are closed and many away do not
mean a falling Off in applications
for library books, children out Of
school flock to the library and
there is an increased demand for
juvenile books. This all brings a
sense Of satisfaction TO Miss Fair
banks and her staff. Like every
other profession and business en-
tcrprise, growth and patronage are
the measure of success and service.
A recent visitor at the Athenae-
um watching the bevy Of school
children and older pltronS sur
rounding the circulation desk,
gazed around, took in the reading
room with it, studcnt-lined tables
and exclaimed to one of the Ii
brarians "And to think this ser
vice is all practically free"
Miss Fairbanks has three libra
rians to assist her Miss Nellie
Wakefield, Mrs. Carrie 7. Hinman
and Miss Dorothy Scribaer.

abandoned Wire
less Outfit Discou-
cred onBamet Mt.

An interesting discovery
was made recently by Rev.
A. E. Gregg of Barnet.
While he was out on one of
his favorite hikes on Barnet
Mountain, he found the re-
mains Of an abandoned wire
less outfit. 1t was located in
the top of very tall pine
tree, on a ledge, in an almost
inaccessible spot, on one of
the highest points in all that
part of the country.
But, although this outfit
occupied this commanding po-
sition in the highest tree in
the vicinity, where a view
could be obtained for a dis
tance of many miles, it was
so clearly camoufaged that it
would have been most diff
cult to have discovered it in
any hasty, casual search.
This apparatus had been
completely abandoned and left
to take care of itself, but
was no doubt used during the
war period to considerable
extent.
It's discovery at this late
date, revives the many stories
and rumors that we're in cir
culation in those troublesome
days. 1t recalls some features
in the plot of Frank 0.
French's musical extravagan-
"a which was presented in st.
Johnsbury so successfully one
year at the annual min
strel show of the United Com
mercial Travellers, and which
many people have always
believed was founded on facts.
