at set of sun.
If we ait down at set of sun,
And count the things that we have
done, and counting, find,
One self-denying act, one word
That eaaed the heart of him who
heard,
One glance, most kind,
That fell like sunshine where it went.
Then we may count the day well spent.
But through all the livelong day
We've eased no heart by aye or nay,
If through it all
We've done no thing that we can trace,
That brought the sunshine to a face;
no act, most small,
That helped some soul and nothing
coat,
Then count that day as worse than
lost.

The Billie Plumlee Company gave a
finished and artistic performance of
theirfeature play "The Sweetest Girl
in Dixie" at the tent last night fully
filling all expectations of the large
audience present. From a dramatic
standpoint it was the best of the
many good plays staged here by this
clever cast of players.
Aunt Caroline was delightfully origin
al and gave his many friends and ad
mirers a careful interpretation of a
well drawn character. The vaudeville
numbers were pleasing and the selec
tion by the orchestra fine. Tonight
the play selected for the closing per
formance will be the new corned
"The Man From New Jersey" wit
everything else new surrounding it.
This laughable comedy has never
been presented here and will be found
fully up to the high standard of ex
cellence established by the Plumlee
company.

VERMONT UNIVERSITY PROFES

Montpelier, Vt., March 31—(By Un
ion Associated Press)—The charges
of un-American conduct preferred by
the Alumni of the University of Ver
mont against Dr. Anton H. Appel
mann, Professor of German language
and Literature at the University, are
expected to create more than ordin
ary excitement at today's meeting of
the Board of Trustees. The meeting
takes place here to accommodate Gov
ernor Horace F. Graham and Secre
tary of State Guy W. Bailey, who are
members of the Board. It is alleged
that Professor Appelmann's corre

the German Imperial Navy at New
York compromised his standing as an
instructor at an American university.
He tendered his resignation soon after
