cities are having the boys form organ
izations OF their own
This seems TO work effectively for
in union there is strength and if our
boys can be persuaded to form little
clubs fer their own protection, they
will help one another The temptation
is not SO great when several boys are
combined to resist it. Can we not
have some organization OF this ma
ture in Wheeling? You cannot con
vince q boy by reasoning on this sub
ject, but if we can offer him something
better, until he be old enough to re-
| alize his folly, Or his physical growth
is not SO likely to be injured, we shall
do him great good
Parents should unite with the
teachers in this work Of rescue. No
one denies the fact now, that the
deadly cigarette Injuries the moral as
niue. as The mental and physical ma
/ ture.
A little lad in primary room, who
was very restless and much given to
wriggling about in his seat, explained
to his teacher You see, | am so full
Of life can't keep myself still" The
statement was doubtless the echo of
remark made at home, for the little
fellow seemed to consider his char
acteristic mark of distinction 1t
was unfortunate that the remark was
made in his hearing, for the child con-
sidered himself excused from adher-
ing to the custom OF his mates, and
WoI king quietly at the desk or in the
/ class. The incident suggested the
/ wisdom of RETAINING from discussing
the traits Of children in their presence.
Teachers cannot be too careful in this
matter. The teacher who exclaims to
a visitor over the dizziness Of one
/ child OF the precociousness of another,
develops in The children a self-con-
seriousness which is equally harmful
IN both cases. The instincts Of cour-
tesy should forbid such remarks. We
4 cannot treat children as if they had
neither eyes nor ears one moment,
and expect them to be thoughtful and
courteous to Us the next Unless we
are thoughtful and considerate, we
cannot fail to hurt the sensitive and
make the dull Indifferent, or add to
the vain glory Of the praised.
We hear~the remark so often made
by parents, in the presence OF their
children, that the principal or teacher
has pick on my child" and
again, If we were rich, or your father
a member OF the Board of Edu-
cation, she would not be always
picking on YOU l have examined
many time cards and I find no place
given for this picking process"
We are warned from all sources
not to discuss the weak points or fail
ings OF children. in the childs pres
ence. What would be thought Of the

Last evening about eight o'clock
Officer Ed. Michaels saw Edward Zane
on Market street, near Sixteenth. Zane
had changed in appearance somewhat
since last seen by the police, having
shaved off his mustaehe and taken on
considerable amount of flesh, which
he never got through drinking water.
Zane made an attempt to enter near
by saloon, but was stopped before he
got inside, and was taken to the City
Hall. On being searched there he was
found to have loaded .32 revolver in
an outside pocket, while in the breast
pocket Of his coat, in small bag, were
two gold watches and chains and three
rings lie was locked up, and to-day
further proceedings will be had in the
case
Zane is charged with having robbed
q store at Middlebourne, Tyler county,
about ten days ago, and then setting
the place on fire. The name of the
proprietor Of the place could not be
ascertained last evening. The reyol-
yer found on him was a Warrington &
Richardson, 80. One Of the gold
watches had a smooth-fnished case
with an Elgin movement, and the 9TH
er was smaller and lighter chased
case with a Trenton movement. One
Of the three rings was of plain gold,
another was set with two emeralds and
two pearls, while the third had small
diamond
The Tyler county authorities were

The Electric Road.

The electric road agitation has created
no lurid excitement during the past two or
three weeks. j. H. Holton has been in
town most of the time and some OF the de-
tails of construction have been arranged.
One could safely wager that the road will
not be built this fall, but those in posi-
ton to know say it will be 60 next
spring. 1t is probably, too, that some
thing will be done this fall The COM
pany's engineer, A. v. Nash, with force
of men is at present engaged on a sewer
job in Winooski and as soon as this is com
pieted, the force will be taken to Bellows
Falls and the construction of the road will
begin, so the management say.
1t was decided last Saturday to run the
road to the Sabin bridge in the highway
and, then. instead Of crossing the river and
continuing along the highway, go across
the Sabin and Barber farms and across the
Saxtons River in the vicinity Of the Barber
bridge. Tbs will bring the road close to
the Barber grove and avoid running in the
highway for considerable distance. 2r

Early Rising.

The fashionable folk of Edward Tvs
Court rose with the lark, dispatched
their dinner at eleven O'Clock, and
shortly after eight were wrapped in
slumber. In the Northumberland
House Book for 1872 it is set forth that
the family rose at six in the morning,
breakfasted at seven. dined at ten, and
supped at four in the afternoon. The
gates were all shut at nine, and no
further ingress or egress permitted In
1870, at the University of Oxford, it
was usual to dine at eleven o'clock,
and sup at five in the afternoon. The
dinner hour, which was once as early
as ten O'Clock, has gradually got later
and later, until now it would be
thought very eccentric in the fashion

than half-past seven o'clock, while 9TH

B. F. H. S. Is, V. A. End 0.

The high school played its second game
this season on Saturday at Vermont Acad-
envy having decided walk-over with the
second team there. The day was rainy
and the field muddy but the game was
clean from start to finish.
B. F. H. S. kicked of sharply at $3.50
and soon succeeded in recapturing the
ball on tumble. They soon lost it on
downs, but they regained possession OF it
by steady, defensive plays and drove it
steadily towards their opponents goal.
From the five yard line, Martin was
pushed over for touchdown, right be-
tween the goal posts in seven minutes from
the time play began. The try at goal was
missed and the score stood So. On the
kickoff the ball was quickly downed in b.
F. H. S. territory, but 3O-yard run
around the end by Busby, followed by re-
peated plays through the line soon enabled
Howard to carry the ball over the goal line
for the second touchdown he also kicked
goal, making the score Ito. The remain
ing seven minutes of play were unimport-
ant.
During the second half most of the play
was again in V. AS territory, but the
teams seemed quite evenly matched, until
just before the close Of the half a long run.
Iby Can't, Howard placed the hall within
six inches Of the goal line and Busby was
driven through the center for the third and
last touchdown.
The boys showed much improvement in
team work since the first game in which
they tied this same team. They showed
new snap and confidence which did much
towards giving them the victory.
They play Black River academy at Lud-
low today.

the grade Of the street opposite the hall
has been lowered and bridge from the
curbing to the street removed. There is a
straight drop Of nearly foot from the
sidewalk to the street and this is bad
thing both for the men and the hose carts.
The vardens promised to see what could
be- done to remedy the trouble.
+ Atthe Shamrock hose house the wardens
found rather bad condition of affairs,
X condition for which the members Of the
company are in no way to blame. The
boys Of that vicinity persist in breaking
the windows with stones. and doors have
frequently been broken in and partitions
torn down. A new stove is needed badly
The wardens decidedto have wire netting
placed over the windows, and locks and
bars placed on the doors. The small hose
house on the Old Terrace was also visited.

The Abanaquis had dummy dressed like
Uncle Sam for driver and the Bridgmsn,s
cart was driven by Francis Royce, also
dressed as Uncle Sam. The hook and lad

The line of march was up Rockingham
street, down Atkinson, up School, down
Church, down Henry,up Atkinson, through
Hapgood, up Westminster to the square.
After reaching the square an alarm was
sounded from box 81 near Towns Hotel

put in an appearance, The department
made commendable appearance.

enjoyed. Music was provided by Man

Treating.
The habit Of treating is an American
custom that is much abused and is in
the minds of many, the greatest check
to the cause Of temperance. 1t is safe
to say that If an anti-treating law was
passed In NeW%Yefk state that the
saloons might as well shut I'D shop.
The treating system is the mainstay of
the saloon. The one man drink would
never give the glitter to the industry
that 1t now manifests In the elaborate
decortions Of liquor hara
