Fatal Shooting Accident at stowe.I


The community was shocked YES
terday afternoon to learn ofthe fatal
shooting accident in which Phil Fisk,
a twelve-year-old boy from Waterbury
Center, who was visiting his aunt,
Mrs. Frank Morse, was almost in
stantly killed and the little son of
Melvin Gibbs severely wounded. 1t
seems to have been a repetition of
the old but tragic story of the gun
that wasn't loaded. The two boys,
with party of Others, ranging from
ten to fifteen years in age, were bath
ing in the brook below Moscow and
were approached by George Gale, a
boy a year or two older, who was out
hunting. Thinking hisgun unloaded,
George seems to have pointed it in a
spirit of thoughtlessness at the boys
in the water with the shocking result
mentioned. Drs. Morgan and Bar
rows were Immediately summond by
telephone from Moscow and found
the Fisk boy dead, seventeen shot
having taken effect from his hips up
ward to his head. The Gibbs boy
was hit by nine shot, only one being
of a dangerous character. Philip
Adams was hit once in the leg, the
shot being easily extracted. 1t was
sad and unfortunate occurrence,
not only for the injured boys and
and their parents and friends, but for
the boy who fired the fatal shot and
who is heart-broken at its result. 1t
should teach a moral so plain and
enduring that it may tend to prevent
similar accidents in the future.

Supt. W. E. Ranger put in a very
busy week, attending the summer
school in Rutland, delivering an adj
dress at White River Junction, and
attending to school matters in Ben
nington, Bellows Falls and Montpel-
Ter, reaching home Saturday night
somewhat under the weather.
Joel Partlow's many friends here
are glad to know that he is properly
appreciated in the town in which he
has chosen to make his home. That
he is so appreciated is indicated by
his winning the lamp offered as a prize
to the most popular man in town by
the Kickapoos in Morrisville.
J.R. Hill and wife, Mr.. and Mrs.
Morris Hill, Miss Susie Hill and j. B.

in Hardwick visiting friends and
camping near Caspian lake. Mr.. Kid

pounds, which hecaught there. That

will effectually stop all speech for a

So for and there is a chance OF get

George Bedell seems to think. He
was arrested and put under bonds for
whipping his wife last fall and one
day last week as she was helping him
saw wood in q wood lot she did not
take hold to suit him, and when he
swore at her she dared to reply in a
similar manner and he proceeded to
silence her with a heavy stick. Some
men in the vicinity hearing the fracas
interfered and finding her badly cut
about the head, brought her to the
village where the doctor dressed the
wounds, some of them requiring sew
eral stitches. Bedell went to the
house and bidding his numerous chill
dren farewell took himself of, prob
ably to the sugar house down back
of the dwelling, until the officers OF
the law should finish searching for
him and his wife RECEIVERS sufficiently
to resume work on the wood pile.

It is not widely known that at the
present time, between all important
telephone centers Of the United States
while the trunk wires are being used
for transmitting speech, there are be-
ing sent over them simultaneously
telegraphic messages without produc'

words. Were it not for immutable
laws Of nature, which cannot be varied
by man or corporation, you might by
listening take off the telegraphlc mes

A SCIENTIFIC
WORK

Interesting, indeed, are the follow
ing conclusions arrived at by Haeckel
the scientist, in his new book "Rid-
die of the Universe" according to
which for thousands of years the in
telligence of man struggled with these
problems of the infinite: The nature
of matter and force, the origin of mo-
tion, the origin of life, the apparently
pre-ordained orderly arrangement Of
nature. the origin Of sensation and
consciousness, the foundation Of
thought and speech, the question Of
the freedom of the will OF theNe great
seven questions some are declared to
be insoluble, and each has caused end
less discussion. Haeckel brushes them
all aside and declares that the one sim
pie and comprehensive enigma is "The
Problem of Substance. According to
Haeckel, the universe or cosmos is
eternal, infinite, illimitable. 1t con-
sists of two attributes, Matter and En-
ergy. This dual substance fills infinite
space and Is in eternal motion. For
ever this motion continues with peri
odic change from life to death. All
masses are rotating constantly, and
while certain ones, sidereal systems or
tiny cells, move to their destruction in
one part of space, others are springing
into new life and development in other
parts of the universe. It has taken
our earth, one little speck in space,
more than hundred million years to
develop its present forms of animal
life, to say nothing of long periods Of
cooling that preceded life Man Is
only the highest among the verte-
brates, which in turn are the highest
among animals. His immediate ances-
tors have been here at least three
million years, and he himself since the
end Of the tertiary period. "Our
mother earth is a mere speck in a sun
bean in the illimitable universe, man
himself is but tiny grain of proto-
plasm in the perishable framework of

ty-two teeth. just like the monkeys
thirty-two; a four-chambered heart,
just like the monkey y's-the same
organs throughout The differ
ences between man and the higher
apes are not as great as those between
the man-like apes and the lower
monkeys. All this Haeckel demon
strates solemnly, with much pains and
many details. He delights in the dis
covery of the fossil ape-man Of Java,
which he declares supplies the miss
ing link and which he proudly calls
'pithecanthropus erectus''-or, monkey
shaped man standing up" He de-
clares we should have found millions
Of other examples Of the missing links
except for the fact that they lived and
died in trees, were devoured by other
animals and consequently had no
chance to reach a fossil condition un-
less by accident they fell off branch
into the water and were preserved in
the slime at the bottom. Man springs
from a single cell. as do all other liy-
ing animals. His huge body is simply
a great commonwealth composed OF
endless billions of these cells, each OF
which is a citizen in the great cell ag-
gregatlon called man. What we are
pleased to consider our brains is sim
ply certain combination of force and
matter acting under the influence OF
centuries Of education and adaptation
Plants think, too, to a certain extent,
and all the animals think more or less
Psychology, which assumes that the
brain force is something separate from
the rest Of the body, is nonsense and
child's play. Haeckels view Of the
universe is a "monistic view. Chi

A HObO'S
Neat Trick

Some hoboes are remarkably shrewd,
according to a story told recently by a
Washington man. "I'm something OF
a crank on the matter Of shoes" he
said. "and always have from six to a
dozen pairs that are partly well worn.
but still available for service. One
morning last week hobo called at the
back door Of my residence and sue
ceeded in getting my wife there to hear
his story. But the fact that his feet
were on the ground pleaded more elo-
Cuently than any words of his, and my
big collection of shoes was brought oat
for him to choose from. He took a
couple, returned profuse thanks and
left.
Toward evening my wife was out
and | at homo. Along came a hobo
with hair through his hat and feet
through his shoes. He humbly asked
me if could help him in the matter
of footwear, and was in the midst Of
a refusal, when he said my wife had
told him in the morning that had a
pair of shoes that were not mates, and
that would probably be willing he
should have item. More with the idea

aidiculousness of the Code which Gov
erns Doctors and Lawyers.

AluAGulomhneha OF the AO0o W nltm AoNa
erns Doctors and Lawyers.
A writer in Publicity, presumably a
awyer, writes entertainingly on the
ethics of his profession in so far as it
'elates to advertising, and tabOos. the
professional man, be he lawyer, doc
tor or clergyman, who advertises.
1t would appear that he argues
from a premise contradictory in its
statement, only to reach, as he neces-
sarily must, an illogical conclusion,
not warranted by the intermediate
sylloglsms. 1t is false logic, and needs
must fall.
The fact that he admits advertising
has practically become a science and
that the advertiser-the one who has,
perhaps, mace q life study of the hen
efts of his own system or those Of
other equally broad-minded men-is
justified in assuming that every man
has his own interests at heart, and
that with every business man of am
bition the Advancement Of his own
business occupies the same position.
If, then, the advertiser believes ad.
vertising to be one of the most i'm.
portant stages on the high road TO
business success. why is he not jus
titled in his endeavor to persuade thJ
physician or the purist that unless he
adyertises he pursues a phantom in
the form of legitimate personal and
professional fame and marked fnan.

OF course be is justified, and it is
only the hide-bound rule of the years
when newspapers and other vehicles
Of advertising were non-eXistent that
raRmels him to-day to enter into
competition with his mercantile
brother.
The writer assumes that there are
many members of the legal profession
who would advertise, to the detriment
of their more conservative brethren.
Possibly that is true This is not the
age of the tallow dip or stage coach,
and he who falls in the race need not
start on crutches.
The etiquette and morals Of the bar
are high-sounding and sonorous
phrases, but the average newspaper
reporter with any court experience at
all knows what a sham the ethics OF
that profession are, and that free ad.
vertising is eagerly sought for by the
highest counselor or by the police
court solicitor.
The suggestion has been made, and
an admirable one, too, that the papers
refuse to print the names of lawyers
or physicians in prominent cases un'
| less they advertised.
Lawyers furnish their briefs to
newspapers; often prepare interviews,
physicians write their own account Of
difficult operations, and clergymen
synopsis of their sermons, and the
newspaper publishes it in choice posi-.
tion without reaping a penny of profit

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Seek happiness for yourself, and you
will lose it; seek it for others, and you
will find it.
Books without the knowledge Of life
are useless; for what should books
teach but the art of living?
1t is by presence of mind in untried
emergencies, said Lowell, that the ma
tive metal of a man is tested.
Good counsels observed are chains
to grace, which, neglected, prove halt
ers to strange undutiful children.
Imprudence, silly talk, foolish van
ity and vain curiosity are closely al
lled they are children Of one family.
If one always takes a short cut
through life they sometimes regret
they did not go the round about way.
Life is to be fortified by many
friendships; to love and to be loved
make up the greatest happiness Of ex
istence.
There are two things in which we
should thoroughly train ourselves-tC
be slow in taking offence and to b'
slower in giving it.
Habits, soft and plant at first are
like some coral stones. which are
easily cut when first quarried, bu
soon become hard as adamant.
No man can tell whether he is ricf
or poor by turning to his ledger. 1t il

is rich or poor according to what h'
is, not according to what he has.
