FATAL IGNORANCE.
People Who Didn't Know. "
HOW LIVES ARE SACRIFICED.

This household tragedy is so familiar
The husband takes a revolver from the
drawer and is going to clean II. IN q
mood of playfulness he points the pistol
at his wife and pulls the trigger:
A flash, a report, a scream of death
agony and another item for the news
paper headed HE didn't know 1t was
loaded" There seems to be no possible
excuse for such folly. The only excuse
kindness can suggest is that although
he didn't know, yet he thought he. knew:
1t is one of the sad facts of llte tnat
ignorance can work so much evil; that
simple stupidity can ruin homes, destroy
characters break hearts and even take
human life itself. We live at all times
exposed to the danger of ignorance whlch
becomes the more dangerous as 1t occu-
pies positions involving responsibility.
When the drug clerk carelessly sells a
poison for harmless powder, ne may
say he didn't know he'd taken up the
wrong bottle but what fatal con-
fession that didn't know is for one who
is in charge of 1ife-giving and death-
dealing drugs.
THE PERIL OF IGNORANCE
is one to which all are exposed in great {,
er or less degree. and those most OF al
who live in the country remote from the
centres whose opportunities and rewards
draw to them the knowledge ana skill ol
the times. How many person dies ~
country places from medical ignorance
Scattered up and down the country one
may find doctors Of brilliant minds ano
splendid skill They love their profess
sion, throw heart and soul into it and sue
cess is more to them than fee or lalne
But they are the rare exceptions. Ordl-
narily the person living in the country
must rely on the care of one VINO, mas
fallen far behind the knowledge OIL ms
times, or some fledgling graduate who
must gain his knowledge at his patient
expense.
The truth of these statements is cyl
dent at once to one who looks over the
daily correspondence Of DR.. Pierce, OF
Buffalo, N. Y From all over the coun-
try letters from men and women who
have taken advantage of his offer o.
| free consultation by letter, seeking a d-
vice and help In these letters the ire,
ouency of the statements doctors failed
to help me, doctors afforded y me e,,f e.

and skill upon which these patients hao

Approved

An open meeting of the Pattern Max
ers' Association was held at 566 Main
street last evening, previous to the
business meeting, at which several
non union men We're present, and were
enlightened on the advantage of be-
longing to the association.
In executive session, the association
approved the stand of the Boston un-

them in various ways one of which is
to keep Worcester men from accepting
positions in Boston, and if any pattern
maker, whether union man or not,
would furnish information of cases of
this kind, if they know of such. would
confer favor on the Worcester asso-
citation, such communication to be adj
dressed to the Worcester Pattern Max
ers' Association, 566 Main street.
1t was also decided that members of
this union would refuse to work on
patterns for any Boston firm involved
in this strike.

FOUND ON SIDEWALK,
Put How Miss Rsbecca Boyd Got There
is a Mystery.

Put How Miss Rebecca Boyd Got There
is Mystery.
Miss Rebecca Boyd, alias Grace Per-
ry, created considerable excitement
last night at $50 Main street by sud
denly appearing on the sidewalk in
front of the building at that number.
A crash was heard, and one Of Easton's
clerks who was passing the building at
that time turned around and saw Miss
Boyd or Miss Perry lying on the side
walk
He turned around, picked her up and
helped bring her upstairs. She did not
appear to be badly hurt but some ex-
citable individual summoned Dr. J. H.
Sullivan, who went to the house and
made an investigation, but failed to
find any injury.
Another woman who was in the house
with Rebecca at the time told the po-
lice that she jumped out of the third
story window, but it is not believed by
the 9olice.
