One of the Hardest Things For the
 Gymnast to Do
 ''The thing I found hardest to learn in my business was to smile" said a professional gymnast who did a very clever specially recently at one of the local theaters. II started out in acro- batic work when I was only 15 years old as one of family of five. My instructor was Charles Mcdonald, an old time circus performer and one of the best of his day. While he was put ting me through my paces he was con- tihually yelling: Look pleasant! Look pleasant!' And my main trouble for years was in following that same order.
 No matter how hard I tried I would forget myself, and when I was doing an extra hard turn I was certain to make horrible faces, screw up my

One result of the volcanic eruptions in the island of St. Vincent, according to an ornithologist residing there, prob ably will be the extinction of the sou- friere bird, a very rare species known as Buildings Amazon parrot. This bird was formerly found only on the Soufriere itself. The great eruption of HIS drove many of them to the other mountains of St. Vincent, but their numbers were greatly reduced by the violent hurricane of 1898, and it is now feared that the few survivors have been completely destroyed by the last erup- tion in May. At any rate no specimens have since been seen, notwithstanding 8 very careful search.

Alabama Republicans are beginning to bestir themselves for the first time in many years. A handbook of the Re- publican party in the State is being prepared and will soon be issued. It proposes to give the details of each county convention, with especial stress upon the names and vacations of those who participated together with a list of the delegates to the State conven- ton, with few salient facts about their careers. These details will be presented in order that the white peo- pie of the State can judge for them- selves the character of the reorganized Republican party.

Linguistology is the latest craze in Paris. If one prefers to call it glosso- nancy, well and good. Under either name it means tongue reading and it threatens to compete with palmistry. A big tongue, it seems, indicates frank ness: a short tongue dissimulation; long and broad tongue, garrulity and generosity; narrow tongue, concen- tration and talent; a short, broad tongue garrulity and untruth. The man with very short and narrow tongue is a liar of true artistic merit.

Miss Rose Cleveland, the sister of ex- President Cleveland, is described as successful farmer. She now owns about one-half of a seven hundred-acre island near Islesboro, Maine, having within few days acquired an addi- tional tract of land. Miss Cleveland has about eight hundred chickens, a large herd of COWS and a big vegetable garden on her island where she raises prize pumpkins, fat chickens and makes prime dairy butter. She handles her affairs herself, it is said, but employs a large force of men. There is but one other cottage on the island.

A Word For Mail Carriers.

A word in behalf of the Il. F. D..
Carriers will not, it is hoped, be out of
order at this season of the year. The
free delivery of mail is a great accom-
mOdatiOn to the farmers and in the
enjoyment of this luxury they should
not overlook the fact that che carrier
figures quite largelyin this happy con-
diJions of affairs and a little thought
for the convenience and comfort of
these Knights of the Mail Pouch,
will deminish their burdens and cause
their expressions to be less unlike
those OF Sunday School scholar.
From remarks overheard by a Citizen
reporter the following rules were sug-
gested Keep a supply OF stamps on
hand and save the carrier the trouble
of picking small change from the
boxes containing snow and ice. Be
sure that the road is in a passable
condition, even if the roller has not
done it's duty. Shovel the snow from
the boxes, thus making it possible
for the carriers to reach them. II
other rules suggest themselves, apply

Death OF Guy Cutler.

Guy Cutler, son of Eli Cutler of this
place was killed at So. Ashburnham,
Mass, last Friday morning, when two
freight trains on the Fitchburg divis-
ion of the Boston & Maine railroad
bumped into each other and the
crews jumped off. Two of the num-
Der leaped in front Of a passenger
train, one of them, Guy Cutler was
killed and the other sustained a frac-
tured skull and will probably die.
Tue accident happened at a point
where two east bound freight trains
were drawing near together in order
that an east bOupd passenger train,
which was coming behind them, might
reach the spur and pass by on the
west bound track. On account of
slippery rails the rear freight train
slid against the cabOOse of the for
ward one, and Baker jumped from his
post upon the engine OF the rear train
toward the west bound track. At
that instant the passenger train
rushed by and the man was killed in
stantly. Cutler jumped from the for
ward freight tram, and was struck by
a passenger car.
The deceased WAS born in Norris
vile in 1878 and lived here with his
parents until about IA years ago,
when they moved to Barre. He has
been living lately with his mother
near Boston. His father has been
working in H. E. Beardsley's paint
shop for the past two or three years.
The remains were taken in charge by
the Brotherhood of Firemen, of which
he was member, and brought here
Saturday night. Mrs. Cutler came
on a special from st. Johnsbury Sun
day, which was furnished by the
Brotherhood. Short funeral services
were held in the Universalist church
Sunday afternoon and the remains
were placed in the tomb.
H. D. Bryant has been appointed
by Sheriff A. d. Robbins as Deputy

salist Sunday school wishes to an

cond rank was worked on one candi-
date. Next Monday evening will oc-

of the shed. An alarm was at once
given and the bell was rung by Don

the spot shortly after the alarm was
sounded. Meantime a bucket brigade
did good work in keeping the fire
from reaching the main building.

the Dlaz9 was under control. The in
side of the shed was ruined and q
hole burned in the root of the house.
Considerable damage was done to
the rooms occupied by the family on
