 Now that the matter of the summer vacation is in the public mind-let me ask how you would like to sojourn for month or so in a charming mountain village in Vermont, and live in an ex- quisitely clean and pretty room, and board at a first class hotel and have all the cream and milk you want to drink-at grand total cost of $3.60 week?
 Of course conditions have changed some during the past 60 years, but those were the rates charged in a rIrticular Green Mountain village in the summer of 1877-as I had the good for tune to know.
 My main objective when I start ed cn my vacation that year, was Portland, Maine, where had been invited by relatives; but took roundabout route-doWn the St. Lawrence to Montreal and Quebec thence cat-a-corner by rail to Boston and night boat on the Atlantic to Portland.
 So on the morning of the 4th of July I found myself one of only two passengers in 6 day coach crossing the Canadian bor- der along the shore of Lake Memphremagog into Vermont. The other passenger was young lady of about 23 or "A, who, when I first saw her, was sitting the length of the car from me-en- gagged in reading book or maga- zine or watching the ~cenery as it whirled by.
 We were amply chaperoned- not only by the frequent pres ence of the big, fatherly train conductor, but. also by the con- stant attendance of the jovial and energetic young brakeman; for before the advent of the "air- brake" each passenger car had a brakeman all to itself, and when he wasn't out on the breezy open platform turning the brakes" or helping passengers on or off-he was inside the car making him. self generally agreeable; and he was immensely popular with the children. H, could turn crying baby's tears into happy smiles presto, and set the whole car laughing with merry jest.
 Our brakeman that day, so long ago, was a jewel and patriot. A small American flag was at tached to his coat lapel and large one waved from the forward platform of his car-and his pockets were stuffed with fire crackers-one of which he fired in the car early in the morning just to see if they were in good condition. This brought the young lady to her feet, smiling and walking down the aisle to our end of the car.
 Pardon me lady if I disturbed you" the brakeman said. politely
 Just let me get my hands on a bunch of fire-crackers and match and piece of punk for a lighter and I'll show you how much they disturb me-" she an- swered, with a comradely grin and accepted his quick offer Of a couple of packs and assurance that there were plenty more where thev came from.
 This, and an exchange or

names, put our small company on a most friendly footing. She was Miss Woodward of Michigan, a teacher in the high school of Battle Creek and the future wife of very distinguished Westerner. She was on her way to Chester, Vermont, where she was to com- bine a few weeks of recreation with a special course of study. And in our mutual condolences it was disclosed that our young brakeman was earning the money to put himself through college.
 It was Fourth of July in the morning, and all nature and all mankind, from the smallest chil- dren to the oldest inhabitants, were celebrating, and even the cattle and barnyard fowls and the family dog seemed to know that it was very special day and be- haved themselves accordingly.
 AS we sped on our journey we heard the joyous ringing of church. bells and booming of can- non from the village greens and the peppery snapping of torpedoes and fire-crackers, and sometimes a familiar muffled sputtering sound that we knew was whole pack of fire e-crackers going off under a barrel; and everywhere we looked, along the green hill- sides and over the fertile valleys, in town, village, or crossroads we saw the beautiful flag we love - waving in the morning breeze and radiant in Gods sunshine.
 In those days everybody watched to see the train go by, and many a white handkerchief waved salute from farmhouse porch, and red bandanna from the old barn door, to the engineer and train crew, and goodwill and God-speed to all the passengers. And so it was with us that day, so long ago, Miss Woodward and I stood with the brakeman on his platform, hold ing on tight with one hand and waving greetings with the other to young and old wherever we

 Before we reached her destina- tion, Miss Woodward suggested that as was going through Ches- ter and in no hurry, I stop over for a day or two and see what kind of a place it was. She said that she had never been there before, but that arrangements had been made for her to board at a very pleasant little hotel. We con- suited the conductor, who fixed me up with stop-over check, and in the afternoon I stood with her at the clerks desk of the quaint little Chester hotel. She was ex- pected and cordially welcomed, and I was told that they could ac- commodate me with table board as long as I wished to stay, at their regular rate of $500 a week, but the only room that was vacant was promised t a drummer who was expected the next day. So I took the room for that night and trusted to the morrow to take care of itself.
 We met again at supper, where we got acquainted with the pro- prietor's family whose children immediately lost their hearts to Miss Woodward and acted as escort on our first tour of the town.
 They showed us the livery stable and introduced US to the owner and there we learned that we could hire a splendid horse and brand-new phaeton for only dol- lar a day.
 "We'll go Dutch treat" she de- clared to me with enthusiasm and that'll be fifty cents apiece, and we'll start t; )rrow morning" And to the hvaryman she said, Consider that horse and phaeton engaged for tomorrow and most every other day except Sunday for dI lCdoC O COuplC OA WCCh. EAAA turning to me she asked, "You know all about horses, don't you?" From A to C." answered.
 Good, so do l."
 But" I qualified. unless I can get room, I'll have to go to- morrow"
 Start right after breakfast to- morrow and canvass the town and have it all settled by o'clock" was her decisive order. We patroniZed the candy store and bought what fireworks were left over including pin-wheels and sky-rockets that wouldn't go much higher than the woodshed and spent a delightful evening with yard full of patriotic young Americans.
