DEATH OF MOSES B. HOWE.
An Old Time stage Driver and Circus
EmplOye.


A familiar figure on the streets of Brat
tlebOro for the past 30 years passed away
in the death of Moses b. Howe, last Satur-
day, at his home on North Main street.
Mr.. Howe was born in Dover, in this
county, Feb. 9, 1914. He was one of the
II children of Caleb and Sophia Sheldon
Howe, and the only surviving member
of the family is now G. l.. Howe,
Brattleboros longtime photographer.
At the age of II, some time after
the death of his father, young Howe began
to learn the trade of 4 cloth dresser with
Walker d Howe, in what was then known
as "GOose City" in Dover After serving
an apprenticeship of three years he was
employed in the same business by Capt.
VIM. H. Williams of Williamsvile In
1884 Mr.. Howe secured employment as a
stage driver between Brattleboro and Will
mington, under Hinsdale Bridge, the we'll
known contractor of that time. In those
days the stage driver was an important
parsonage, and the position was much
sought after. After leaving the stage line
Mr.. Howe went to Boston, where he had
charge of the 100 horses in Rufus Welch's
circus. He travelled with this circus
throughout the New England states, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Della
ware. When the "Lion'' theatre was
constructed by the circus proprietors on
the site of the present Adams House at
Boston Mr.. Howe was chosen manager of
the equestrian department. There was a
stage in addition to the ring, and such old
time actors as Robert Ingersoll, Charles
LeForest, Mr.. and Mrs. Howard, the latter
the first woman rider in the country,
Thorn, John Robinson, and others, were
the stars. Cooks famous show from
London exhibited in this theatre while
Mr.. Howe was there in 1887.
Upon leaving the circus Mr.. Howe was en-
ployed by Williams IL Munroe and II. II.
Hawley in Boston, and later Benjamin
Cheney gave him a responsible position
with the Boston Coach company, which
he held for several years. During this
time he had charge of the public teams at
the fremont House. Mr.. Howe was an
expert judge of horses and his advice was
often sought by horsemen.
Thirty years ago Mr.. Howe left Boston.
For year he lived on the historic Howe
farm in Vernon. Mr.. Howe's ancestors
were among the pioneers at Forts Bridg-
man and Sawtell, at this place, and seven
members of the Howe family were captur-
ed by the Indians and carried to Canada.
Mr.. Howe became proprietor OF billiard
room in Brattleboro in 1865. His quarters
were at first in the Simonds building, but
after several years he moved into Crosby
block. He sold the business only few
months ago, on account of failing health.
Mr.. Howe was married in 1910 to Sarah
Smith of Sanbornton, n. H., who survives
him. The only child died at the age OF
eight years.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon,
Revs. Parry and Day officiating.

THE VERMONT NEWS.


The famous old trotting stallion, High
land Grey, is dead. This stallion was foaled
in 1867 and had record of 1928. Eugene
Kelly of Poutney owned and bred him,
and at one time refused to sell him for
$1,000. At the breeders meeting at Rut-
land last summer the old horse was sold at
auction to G.. II. Davis of Hubbardston
for $3.50. In his day old Highland was
one Of the fastest horses living on an ice
track. Highland Grey sired the fast mare
Florence, 2:23i, sold for $4,000; the little
trotting mare Emma b., 2:26t the pacing
stallion Highland L., 2:23t; the dam of
Matte c., 2:20t and three others with rec
ords below 2:30.

The Club of the ruturs.

A growing opinion is that the coming
club will be the mixed one, where men
and women will study together the ques-
.tions that present themselves and work
out together the problems of the day
And this, 1t is asserted, will not be a
consolidation Of the distinctively WON
ems and mems clubs as they now exist
but merging of the best elements Of
each into fresh organizations.
Following this mixed club sentiment
it is not surprising to find Mr.. Stead in
London Journal advocating "co-op-
erative homes Cor the summarized" BY
this he means that the cooperative
homes for spinsters and those FOR bsche-
lors should combine their housekeeping
arrangements into d sort Of idealized
boarding house, where Mrs. Grundy
would be appeased with "an experienced
lady housskeeper" and where companies
of detached or unattached men and
women could find congenial acquaint-
ance. The limitations of the word con-
genial Mr.. Stead insists upon and ad-
mits that this matter of selection is the
weak point in his scheme. The motion
in any form grows out Of recognized
drifting apart of the sexes under the
changed condition of things.-New York
Times.

stealinr a Redhot Shove.


"The incident often illustrated in
plays of man carrying off a redhot
stove has no basic truth" said Halman
Carmody. "Still the idea seems 80 pre-
posterous that people never fail to laugh
at the incident when placed before them
on the stage. The nearest theft that /
ever knew to parallel it occurred not so
many years ago when an habitual Grim
inal in New York city was given six
months in the penitentiary for stealing o
timers stove. The evidence proved that
the criminal had record which included
everything from the theft Of paper Of
pins and wagon wheel down to water
gauge of steam engine and the stove
in question.
"The timers stove was shown in court.
1t was very old fashioned, large and
ungainly looking affair, which one might
imagine would be the last thing that
would attract the attention Of even
chronic burglar. The top was cylindrical
and perfectly open for the purpose of
draft TO this top was attached the
handle. Now, the stove had good FIRE
in it and had been set out on the pave
ment to obtain extra flame. The thief
must have found it very hot object to
handle, and yet he ran with it a dozen
blocks before he was caught and arrest

The "oslorls.s,. woman.

Il is curious thing that the colorless
wo1nan-the woman with no mind Of her
own, that generally goes In for gowns
to inatdh. notice that she usually af-
fects the most insipid, most uninterest-
ing shades Of gray, fawny gTays and
drabs. Her taste in dress, like her char
aoter, Is indefinite. She is vague wom-
an. "Good, sweet, and amiable," no
doubt, though there is not much virtue
in being good if you have not the capac-
ity for being bad, but monotonous like
her clothes. This is the type of person
who looks upon cigarette smoking among
ladies as "disgraceful"-not from con-
viction, Of course, for she couldn't think
seriously for couple of minutes about
anything, but because it isn't conven-
tional The person who habitually says
''disgraceful" always amuses me.--Miss

Aeainst the Frettine n1oth.

We are apt to forget, when the warm
weather returns, how very useful and
comfortable our furs were in the bitter
winter, and how thankful we will be in
the fall to go to the boxes or paper
bundles and take out muff or collar all
in good order.
Now is the time that the frisky moth
is laying its eggs and is seen flying
around looking for what it can devour
1t is best to put furs away before these
little depredators make their appearance
and before they have time to make a
place for themselves for the summer
months.
Many people object to camphor tar
balls and also to tar bags. They GER
tainly do have q most disagreeabie odor,
which clings to ones furs through al
most the entire winter. Red pepper and
tobacco are sometimes used, but with
doubtful advantage.
A lady rs years old, and with much
experience in such matters, said she had
never used anything to protect her furs
except newspaper and a gluepot Her
method, briefly stated, was first to beat
the furs well, getting out all the dust
and any stray moth or eggs, and clean
woolens carefully from any spots. for
dirt will attract moths Having done
this, she placed them in boxes and sealed
them up in newspaper, leaving not a
crack nor hole anywhere. .-Harper's 8

Lawyer French, who represents Pitts
field in the Legislature, passed around
the other day among his fellow solons
card which he found on his table upon
returning to his law Office. He had left
the card bearing two words-"Return
soon.' During his absence a client had
written underneath it, This is id
lie." A second visitor to the office dur
ing the interval had been worthy dea-
con who had called to see Mr.. French on
church business, and apparently not
noticing the language already inscribed
had added his own message and signed
his name. Fortunately Mr.. French was
able to distinguish between the two
handwritings, and the deacon's standing
remains cure.-Springfeld Mass
