the distant hill tops, however, with
a white mantle that seemed at first
sight to have settled down for a VIM
ter's stay, but this snowy surprise
is but one of the many vagaries of
New England weather. Farther
north there was bushes tor the snow
sweepers. At Waterbury trainmen
report three inches of snow on the
station platform, and other towns in
that vicinity were doubtless similarly
favored by the weather managers.
Readers of weather reports have no.
ticed that in narrow strip of country
extending from Lyndonville on the
east to Richmond on the west, in
which Waterbury lies, it is always
colder by from ten to twenty degrees
than in any other section of the
state.
William r. Briggs, the boy con-
fined in Jail here on the charge of
stealing bicycle, last week made
an unsuccessful attempt to saw his
way out, his plans being spoiled
when the job was about half COM
plcted. The discovery was made
Sunday morning, when Sheriff
Thomas found that Briggs had sawed
through the first set of CRATES in the
second story window facing the river,
and had begun work on the second.
AT this same window, five or six
years ago, Robert Elton made
similar break for freedom, alike I'M
successful. The tool used by Briggs
was what is known to mechanics as
a shack" saw, and it appears it had
been in his possession since the
Tuesday previous. Sheriff Thomas,
suspicious at once fell on Young
Briggs brother, Eugene, as the one
who had furnished the saw, and
shortly after noon Sunday he arrest
ed and placed him in Jail. Yester-
day he was brought before Justice
Seavcr, and pleading guilty. he was
bound over to the December term of
court.

sued that coal must not on any ac-
count ever be stacked above this rail-

Cooperation.

We have frequently told our
readers that we consider our GUS
toners as much interested in our
success as we are in theirs; that
our interests are identical, in fact;
that if we can do a large business
we can accept of small percent
age Of profit, and that the more we
can Increase QUIZ business the
smaller the margin we need to
make on goods. ....: .-..... . ..
Y Consequently every one of our
customers helps the others and the
others help him, and the larger the
list the more benefit there is to be
derived from buying of us. We
have shown this to be a fact in the
years that have passed, but the
demonstration yet to come is to be
the plainest and most satisfying Of
any that has ever been made of the
value of a sensible cooperation be-
tween buyer and seller.
Our business has been, and is,
an ever-increasing one, and with
your assistance we hope to do a
more extensive one in time to come,
and furthermore, with new lines
out, more territory covered, and to
be covered, our broad and liberal
business methods cannot fail to
work mutual good to one and all.
You should become a partner in
this plan. Join our circle and make
some money.
