THE HoWBLLs FAMILY.
The Home Life of A Bratueboro Girl.

The Home Life of A BrattiebOro Girl.
Lillian Whiting, in a literary article in
the Chicago Inter-Ocean, has this to say
of the home life of William Dean Howells
and family, which will be read with inter
est by many Bratteboro people: at was
soon after Mr. Howells's first arrival in
Boston, as a youth of % or %, that he re-
ceived the appointment of consul to Ven
ice. Living abroad, he met, wOoed, and
won Miss Eleanor Mead, a sister of the
sculptor, Larkin I. Mead. and of the cele
brated architect of McKim, Mead IL Co.,
and they were married in Paris and set up
their household goods in an old palace of
the dOges of Venice. 1t was here that
Winnifred, the child of exquisite ideals,
was born; the poet daughter, whose early
death few years ago has left a silence for
ever in the home. The novelist has two
children left, Mildred, who was the little
girl among the old masters, now beauti-
full young woman with a sort of Elaine
face, clear cut and fine, full of literary and
artistic tastes and about her always that
indetinable charm of poetic enchantment
that should charactize a young girl: and
John, his only son, who graduated last
year at Harvard and is now studying archi-
lecture with his uncle, McKim, Mead &
Co.
Mrs. Howells, although for many years
in too delicate health to take much active
part in the world, is so spirtuelle, SO full
of charm and grace, that an hour with her
is one to live in memory. Her life has
been amid the finer flavors of art, literature
and society, and she is cultivated and bril-
liant at every point. For there is vast
difference between mere requirement and
cultivation. Many are the persons who
know the language of a country, but moth
ing of its literature, nothing of its deeper
significances. But Mrs. Howells has gone
into the heart of things and she is full of
sympathetic dyination and perception.
The home life of the Howells family is one
of charm and sweetness and gayety. Wit
and allusion abound; the chance guest is
Hospitality welcomed; and if in the table
talk line from poem, passage from
book, is alluded to, or quoted. and some
one wants the rest of it, the book is
brought, and Mrs. Howells may pause.
perhaps, in her pouring, to read aloud
the favorite paragraph The home life is
full of this happy neXibilty.r

Three attempts have been made recently
to wreck trains on the New London North
ern railroad at a trestle two miles south of
Palmer, Mass. All of these attempts were
unsuccessful, but the persstency of the
perpetrators has caused alarm among the
railroad men. One night three weeks ago
two tramps discovered Instructions on the
track and ran to Palmer to give the alarm.
Railroad men fastened to the scene and
cleared the track. Two weeks ago frog
timbers were placed on the track but the
locomotive knocked them into the ditch.
Saturday night the north-bound passenger
train struck an obstruction while bowling
along at the rate of 40 miles an hour.
Ties had been fastened in the treste, and
if they had not been broken by the locomo-

thrown down a 2O-foOt embankment. On
none of the nights when attempts have
been made to wreck the north-bound train
has the south-bound train met with OBJ
structions on the track. Chas. Wheeler
was the engineer and Frank Bracket fire
man, and Robert Wheeler conductor of the
train Saturday night.

A BIT OF GOOD NEWS.

The gratifying announcement was made
at the end of last week that the Boston IL
Maine railroad company had abolished the
antiquated 1t cent passenger tariff on the
Vermont Valley and Sullivan county rail-
roads, and given in its place a modern tariff
at the rate of practically three cents a
mile. The fares from BrattlebOro to sta
tions on those roads are now as follows:
Dummerston 10 cents; Putney 26: East
Putney 30; Grouts 81; Westminster so ::
Bellows Falls Il; South Charlestown 81 +:
Charlestown 93: Springfield 81: North
Charlestown Sl.00; Claremont junction
Sl.23; West Claremont Sl.2Q: Windsor
Sl.41. 1t is ancient history to say that the
Old fares have long been a source of both
annoyance and modification to the local
public. They have been protested against
repeatedly, and several years ago, soon af-
ter the establishment of the state railroad
commission. hearing was held on an an
pllcatlon to have the commissioners order
the fares reduced. The plea was, as it has
always been, that the local traffic was veIy
SMALL and that the II cent rate ought to he
retained because it was on this basis that
the two roads settled with the lower roads
for the through business. For an offset
the then president, A. b. Harris, offered a
low rate on Today round-trip tickets and
to have mileage books over the roads made
good to bearer" On this basis the mat
ter was adjusted. The spirit which has
now prompted the change, without solicit
tation, will be cordially welcomed and an
preciated. So far proportionate reduc-
tion has not been made on tickets to points
beyond Bellows Falls and Windsor. but
this will follow in due time

100 acres all told, rs of tilage, the rest

600 bushels ears corn and eight tons fod-

on five acres of newly stocked ground |

and a team of horses. | think | have hay
and grain enough to carry my entire stock

shady side of so. l cleared my land of
stone several years ago, and can now use
any improved machine.

August, they are stabbed every night the
year round with some kind of absorbent in
the gutter to save all liquids. have used
sawdust good deal and have never seen
any bad result from it. l use some COM

it good to give crops quick start. But it
needs the farm manure to back it up. |
have built new house and barn, brought
water to buildings 70 rods up hill, cleared

10 trees, have the best of tools, have a
large family to support, and today stand
