Honesty

Is a very good policy to follow, no matter what business you are conduct ing. Take, for instance, if a man is go- ing to wrestle another man and he rups vaseline or something of it's nature all over his body so that the other felioW cannot get a hold on him, that lsn square and 99 times out of 100 he IS caught; then the laugh is on him. Again, you'll see large public contracts let to the highest bidder. but they are usually nipped in time and, of course. again the laugh is in order. Then again you'll see business men selling second or third class tea. coffee or but ter for fancy prices; they, too, some times get tripped up. But why should you buy poor tea at 50 cents per pound, bad tasting coffee at 9 or 3 cents per pound. tainted butter or oleo at 24 cents per pound, when you can get the warranted good kind at the same prices in our store? (Of course we bar cleo. All we ask of you is that you give us a trial and see if our say so is not our do so.

Constitution Left Bristol This

The cup defender Constitution started
down the harbor at Bristol at II o'clock
this morning in tow OF the tender Mt.
Morris. on her way TO Glencove, where
she will participate Monday in the feet
races of the New York Yacht club.
The wind was very light when the craft
moved away, and it is probable from the
unusually long tow-line that she will not
move under her own sail on any part OF
the voyage. The tender took the big
yacht down the east channel toward
Newport where, IL is expected. Mr.. Dun
can will go on board. Astern the racer
was towing a whale boat and a skin.
while the naphtha launch used by MIR.

At s o'clock this morning, an hour be-
fore high tide. the yacht was fioated from

SHOT HIS
FRIEND
and GUEST
Cressy Mlstook Bristol and
Fired -Four Shots From
q Revolver.

Brattleboro. VT, July 19.-Awakendsg
between two and three o'clock this morn
Ing TO find himself in the grasp OF a
man, Morton Starr Cressy. a Harvard
law school student. who is spending the
summer here. struggled till free and.
snatching a revolver from a bureau, he
fired four shots at his assailant.
On lighting his lamp he was horrined
TO find that he had shot his friend and
classmate. Sidney Bristol. OF Battle
Creek. Michigan, who came here yester-
day as canvasser and was invited by
Cressy TO stay over night. Bristol was
killed almost instantly. He lived only
long enough to gasp: you have shot
your friend"
II is believed that Bristol. while in a
night mare, took hold of Cressy Cressy
being attacked by burglar and fired as
soon as he was free. The young men
were each about "A years OF age. They
were graduated from Yale I'm 1900 and en-
tered the Harvard Law school last fal
Cressy saw Bristol i'm town yesterday
canvassing for periodical and imme-
distely invited him TO the home OF his
grandmother, Mrs, Starr. where Cressy
was staying. After a pleasant evening
the men retired at about 10 o clock
Cressy's slumber was disturbed at 2.s0
a. m, when he awoke TO find man
whom he supposed To be a burglar hold
ing him down in bed.
Being powerful young man ne
wrenched himself free from the clasp OF
the other person, leaped from the bed
snatched up a revolver from the bureau
and fired four quick shots. His supposed
assailant fell with a groan. Then the
room was quiet for an instant.
Hastily CraSSv lighted "a lamp and as
the rings of powder smoke rolled aside
he saw Bristol lying on the foor. Cressy
staggered. For moment he seemed
paralyzed. AS he stood with senses be-
numbed at the horrible situation he heard
the faint words: "Oh, you have shot me-
You have shot your friend"
Cressy dropped down beside the man,
but effort to revive him was In vain.
Life was almost gone when Bristol spoke
and he died a few minutes later.
The other occupants OF the house
aroused by the sounds of the shots, came
TO the room quickly. Several physicians
were summoned. 1t was found that tive
shots had taken effect. one striking Bris-
tolls shoulder. while the other passed
through his abdomen. Finding the man
was dead a doctor notified the local au-
thorities and at 8 o'clock this morning
Justice Cudworth. as coroner, summoned
a jury. State Attorney Weston OF Bel
lows Falls appeared later In the forenoon
and an investigation was at once be-
gun.
Cressy, who was deeply affected by ths
occurrence, told what he could OF tho
AFFAIR. He declared that he had no
trouble whatever with Bristol that they
had passed a particularly pleasant even-
ing, and that he could not possibly ac-
count for the action of his friend save
that he was dreaming or in fit or sleeu
walking when he lay hold of Cressy.
