BrattIeboro Merchants Tonched.

Brattleboro merchants have Just been
touched to the tune of 500 by smooth
advertising scheme. This time 1t was
what purported to be a sly ear Book and
Directory" of the Uniyersalst church,
The pamphlet contained ~ pages and a
cover, and besides the title pages and
some II pages of advertising it contained
pages of matter giving list of the
church membership, and officers and
teachers, ali of which was supposed to
be of interest to the public sufficient 10
give the pamphlet an advertising value.
The edition was probably large enough
to give copy to each of the III men,
bers whose names appear in it and an
extra copy for each advertiser, or total
circulation of about 200 copies. The
same money would have purchased an
adver tisement of equal size "a full page
in both local papers and given two in
sertions or 10000 circulation. OF course
each one was told that it was for the
church-and so it was-the book, but not
the money.

There have been a large number of
accidents the past few days in Whining
ton and vicinity, says the Deertield
Valley Times. One day last week Fred
Tudor of Somerset struck his foot with
the blade of an axe while chopping logs
and cut deep cash, severing an artery.
He lost a large amount of blood before
he could get to Wilmington to have the
wound dressed. Last Saturday Frank f.
Allen caught his left foot under the
plunger of a hay press while working for
G. G.. Ryder and it was very painful
injury. Geo. Hayes, who works for Jean
Rieando on the Larsen place in East
Wilmington, was working in the woods
Monday, when limb fell upon him,
fracturing his collar bone. Wednesday
morning an Italian got his arm caught
in chain gear at Mountain Mills and the
flesh and muscles were badly mutiated.
Edward Antoine had the topsi of two
fingers sliced off on lathe at the Will
mington Grain & Lumber Co.'S mill
Thursday morning, and there have prob
ably been other accidents which have not
been reported. 1t seldom rains unless it

Young Defenders.

In some of the New York schools
they have a Young Defenders league to
help the Society For the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. They report cases
of cruelty to horses, dogs. dOnkeys,
cats, etc. to headquarters for investi-
cation and punishment. In one of the
schools the league was started by a
boy who had been torment to the
teacher of every school he had passed
through. He was the last one they eX-
pected to lead reform movement.
The way it came about was this: He
was passing Madison square one after
noon when he saw a company of boys
coming out of the S. +. c. \. building.
On meeting they explained the league
TO him and asked him to join. He was
told to get into line. He signed the
card and had his badge pinned on, and
the next day he began his work. He
not only reported cases to the society,
but induced twenty-five of the boys OF
his school to become members Of the
league. He seems to realize that a
leader must be one the boys can look
up to, for there is marked change for
the better in his department.

AN OVERWORKED PHRASE.
the Expression "He Took His Life In
His Hands"

"The expression he took his life in
bis hands always struck me as being
very foolish" said a bright young gen
ileman, land | have often wondered
why so many persons persist in using
it when they want to speak of extraor-
binary dangers. Now, extraordinary
danger is one thing and the simple.
commonplace thing of taking ones own
life in ones hands is an entirely differ
ent thing.
81 work in big building. There are
steam engine and n mammoth boiler
in the basement. Whenever | enter
that building, if they are running the
engine in the basement, | take my life
in my hands. | get on the elevator on

may tumble over a trestle somewhere.
| walk along the street; sign may

a street car or a vehicle of some sort
may not run me down? | cross the riv-
er; may / not suddenly find myself in
the swirling stream and sinking for
the last time? If | walk along the
street, may not brick or a loosened
cornice come crashing down upon me
There are row and a shot or two on
the corner; may not a stray bullet wing
me? And so on,
"Pessmsm? No. Logic. That's all
1t just shows the difference between
taking ones own life in ones hand
/ and the matter of confronting eXtraor
binary danger These risks are ordi
nary, plain, Old everyday risks. The
fireman who dashes into n burning
building to rescue a child, the fellow
who grabs the bride of runaway
horse, the hero who will plunge into
the river to save some person who is
about to drOwn-these are the persons
who confront what l would call eX
traordnary dangers, and the worr
platitude of saying of one of these he
took his life in his hands would moi
fit the case because there would be II
the act an element of heroism which
would place it much above the com

A QUESTION OF TEETH.
Did the Immortal George Wear Ar
tinciaI or Natural Ones.

tincIal or Natural Ones.
George Washington's false teeth,
which were supposed to have been
made of ivory, are giving n certain
class of freak historians about as much
trouble as they must have given the
venerable patriot who wore them"
said one of the professors of the
Smithsonian institution to a reporter
recently.
"Many times n year for several years
this institution has been called upon to
produce these mysterious teeth for the
inspection of persons who insist that
they are here.
"Our matter of fact answer to these
inquiries that Washington had no false
teeth, or at least if he did, that they
are not in the possession of the mu-
scum, seems only to stimulate the in
quiring mind to protest our statement.
They proceed to give us authentic ac-
counts of these teeth and always con-
clude with expressing the belief that
they must be in the museum some
where.
"Where or how the idea that Wash
ington had false teeth originated is an
unsolved mystery. That it is firmly be-
leved by many is certainly fact.
There seems to be no authentic record
of the Father of His Country possess
ing ivory teeth, and by a study of the
bust we have Of him, which was made
but n few years before his death, there
is no indication of an indentation along
the line of the gums such as can he
noticed in persons who have had their
teeth drawn, even though they wear
artificial ones. However, we will corr
tinue to answer the same question in
the same way probably many times in
the future
According to some biOgr9phers
Washington lost his teeth during his
service as commander in chief of the
Continental army and had set of
ivory ones made. These teeth, it is
also stated. gave him much trouble be-
cause they did not ft.-Washington

In some of their studies the Indian
children get along better than the
whites, and in others they do not do
so well. They can learn to write east
~ and are fine at drawing. They have
natural eye for color and execute
very beautiful designs upon the black
board with colored chalk. In needle
work the girls soon become very eX-
pert. Some specimens of their work
were recently forwarded to New York,
where they were pronounced exquisite,
and sold to wealthy ladies at very
high prices. When it comes to music,
Indian children make good instrument
tai performers, but few of them be-
come finished vocalists. In mathe-
MATES they make a very poor show
ing. They do not memorize well and
get along very slow in history, civil
government and studies of Il like ma
ture.
Indian children are shown scarcely
any affection and sympathy by their
parents. They are never kissed, and II
they get hurt they get very little at
tention. This being the case, they
show small consideration for each 9TH
er at school. While the teachers are
very strict and prompt to punish any
act Of harshness or cruelty, the bad In
dian creeps out very often. If boy
has sore foot or lame leg, he is quite
likely to get push or knock to see
how bravely he can stand the pain.
At one Of the schools not long since
several young hogs were found dead In
their pen. A few days later 1t was
discovered that several more had been
killed. Investigation developed the
fact that they had been dubbed to
death by several of the larger boys.

LITTLE INDIANS.
Not ms TenderIy Reared ms White
ChiIdren-An Indian school.

Children-An Indian school.
Some of our little boys and girls
make n very big face when their moth
could see the way the KiOwa and Co
manche Indian babies are given their
baths they would never make another
face as long as they live. When an In
dian mother wants to wash her little
one, she takes off his clothes, holds him
by one foot and plunges him into the
river. 1t makes no difference how cold
it s-into the water he goes head first.
Little Indians are not rolled around in
baby carriages. Their mothers carry
them on their backs, either strapped in
a cradle or rolled in Il blanket. The
cradles the Indian babies have are not
at all like the ones provided for their
little white brothers and sisters. 1t is
a sacklke affair open at one end fas-
tened to a frame. The papoose is placed
in it with his hands tied across his
breast. When the mother gets busy,
she hangs the cradle on the limb of a
tree or stands it up against something.
Ants or flies can run over the baby's
face at WILL for his hands are tied and
he cannot defend himself.
Little Indian girls do not have pretty
dolls with real hair and eyes that open
and close. The only kind they have
they make themselves out of grass and
moss and bits of cloth their mothers
give them.
When Indian boys and girls go to
school, they cannot go home every
night like tire white children do. They
stay at school day and night for ten
months out of twelve. Besides learning
their book lessons the boys have to
learn to do all kinds of outdoor work
and to use tools. The girls have to
learn to sew and to cook and to do all
kinds of housework. In the dining
room at the Riverside government
school, near Anadarko, there are six
teen tables, and ten boys and girls of
different ages eat at each table. In
the large garden connected with the
school there are sixteen little gardens.
+ The boys have to cultivate them, and
the girls cook the vegetables the boys
raise. Consequently many things that
come on to each table are raised and
prepared by those who eat them.
