RULED WITH A ROD.
But the Rod Must BE Iron. With n

when all other methods of control
ling wild beasts fail the keeper has only
to employ an iron rod, which has been
made redhot at one end" said an old
circus man to Il Star reporter recently.
Lions and tigers" he continued, "Wil
cringe before the heated poker, and no
matter how restless and fretful they
may have been the sight of the glow
ing iron Immediately brings them to
their best of animal senses. 1t has an
almost hypnotic influence over the
beasts. l have seldom heard of an
animal being burned in this manner,
however. so there is nothing cruel in
the treatment. 1t would not do for the
keeper to burn the charges under his
care, for the scars would mar the
animal for exhibition purposes. The
hot iron is n terror, just the same,
and under its persuasion the kings OF
the Jungle are dociIe and ready to do
what is wanted of them.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

About 30 children Of the freshman class
met last Friday night with their class
mate. Arthur Thurber. at his home in
Centreville. where they We're amused with
various games adapted to their years.
All enjoyed themselves immensely and no
complaints have been heard except from
those who thought the affair was to take
place at in the morning instead Of in the
evening.
The seniors were invited to attend the
reception rendered Miss Leonora Jackson
in the Brooks House last evening. Miss
Jackson was assisted I'm receiving by Mrs.
T. r. Pratt, Mrs. William LAWN. Mrs.
II. X. Whitaker. and Mrs. c. II. Thomp-
son. The ushers were J. f. Hooker. c. II.
Thompson and Z. ]. Waterman.
It is rumored that the committee will
try to secure a place in which the boys
can practice basket ball If this should
be done a fast team could be organized
as there is an abundance of very good
material Letters have been received
already from Turner's Falls High school
asking for games. and no doubt an ex-
cellent schedule could be arranged.

The Concert Last Evening

The concert in the Auditorium last
evening by the Leonora Jackson Con
cert company attracted not a large
audience. but an appreciative one.
As was to have been expected, Miss
Jackson's rendiuons were the most
satisfactory. indeed they were fault
less. and it is but doing justice to Miss
Jackson to say that she embodies the
highest type of musical sentiment and
plays with a breadth of feeling that
has characterized the work of some of
the masters of the art. She has
achieved eminent success abroad,
having played before numerous crown
ed heads, and was decorated with the
Victoria star by the late queen. This
star she wore at the concert last
evening. William Bauer the pianist,
possesses remarkable technical skill
which must needs be the case in order
to execute successfully the opening
number on last nights program, Rub
instein's polonaise from lie Bal or
in fact most any composition by that
composer. He also played with fair
degree of intelligence. Harry j. Eel

ing by severe bronchial sore throat
He sent as a substitute, NJ. Bowden, a
young New York baritone. Mr.. Bow
denis voice is mellow, sympathetic and
true to pitch, but his singing lacked
somewhat in expression and energy
The concert was given for the benefit
of High school library. At its close a
reception was rendered the members

to 10 Inches of Snow.

to 10 Inches of Snow.
The snow storm of Tuesday and
Tuesday night, the first this winter in
Brattleboro, caused more trouble in
the running of trains than by all the
storms of last winter put together.
The first delay Tuesday was caused
by the wreck in Vernon, reported else
where in this paper, and by the time
the wreck was cleared away the vol
ume of snow was so great
that it was impossible to run
on schedule time. The wreck &C.
Cured about / o'clock. The train due
from the north at 2.10 went to Vernon,
but soon returned to Brattleboro. The
train due from the south at 2.30 was
three hours late. When it finally ar
rived in Vernon the 2.10 train met it
there, the passengers were trans
ferred past the wreck and the trains
separated again. each running in the
others place. The Abs train from the
north was held in Brattleboro and the
5.45 train from the south was held in
Vernon until the wreck was cleared
away, after which the 5.45 train pro-
ceeded to Brattleboro, reaching here
about 7.30. The Abs train then con-
tinued on it's course.
Conductor Wheeler's train over the
New London road due at $50, en-
countered large drifts at Belchertown
and Amherst and did not arrive in
Brattleboro until about 2 o'clock We'd
nesday morning. The 1910 train from
the south also was delayed by snow,
largely at Northampton, and arrived
in Brattleboro with two locomotives
after o'clock Wednesday morning.
The "owl" train from the north We'd
nesday morning. due at $40, arrived
at 730, and the New London train due
| to leave at TAO did not get under way
until noon, partly because of block
ade in the railroad yard and partly be-
cause of the difficulty in getting coal
and water. Although the help was
| kept at work nearly all Tuesday night
| it was next to impossible to pull a
| train through the yard during the
next forenoon. and not even an effort
| was made to run the 1915 train tC
! Millers Falls. All the other trains
Wednesday and Thursday forenoon
were from one to three hours behind
schedule time.
The narrow gauge train Tuesday
night left Brattleboro about s o'clock
having been obliged to wait for Con
! ductor Severance, who was on the
train which was wrecked at Vernon
and pulled into South Londonderry
about 2.30 in the morning. The run
exhausted the supply of wood anC
water so that no attempt was made tC
| return Wednesday, In the afternoon
the pillow was run up from Brattleboro
not being able to get up through the
local railroad yard until about
o'clock The pillow and the stranded
train arrived in Brattleboro about /
o'clock yesterday.
The electric cars were run close t.
schedule time throughout Wednesday
but several of the employees worked al
of Tuesday night with the snow pillow
and other appliances to keep the roat
cleared
The snow fall was estimated from
10 to is inches.
