Popular Slang Phrase.
A young man walking down the
street the other day met an old Irish
man whom he knew. and, asking him
how he felt, was answered by the
Celt that he felt pretty good. The
frishman in return asked him how
he was. and was answered by the
young man that he "felt out OF sight"
Pat did not seem to catch the
meaning at once. but In a few mo-
ments his puzzled face turned Into q
broad grin. and he walked away NUT
tering "out of sight"
Now. at the next corner there hap.
pened to be standing particular
friend of the Irishman, and walking
up to him he inquired how he was
feeling.
Same as usual, Pat" he answered,
but how do you feel?"
Pat wondered at the blank look
that appeared on his friends face as
he answered, you can't see me,

VERMONT FIRES.

One of the most disastrous fires that
has visited Cabot for many years oc-
Cured Aug, IA when the splendid
buildings on what is known as the l..
c. Fisher farm were completely de-
stroyed. The buildings included the
house, horse barn and two other large
barns and comprised one OF the best
sets OF farm buildings in town. The
fire caught from ham smoking out
fit near the shed, the burning barrel
communicating the flames to the
buildings. All OF the household effects
and a good many farm tools were
saved but large quantity of hay was
destroyed. The estimated loss is
$4,000 and the property was insured in
the Vermont Mutual to the amount OF
So, 1925, but this insurance does not
include the household furnishings or
hay.
While Mrs. Carrie DELANEY, a ser
want girl at the Lenox Hotel on State
street, Montpelier, was attempting TO
iill lighted kerosene lamp in the
kitchen OF the hotel at seven o'clock
the evening of Aug. 10, the lamp eX-
ploded and before the tiremen could
reach the scene the rear OF the build
inc was mass of flames The guests
and boarders at the Lenox hastily NOV
ed their belongings into the street, but
the front part of the hotel was not
damaged by fire. The grocery store
Of Kellogg d Jerome is under the east
ern floors of the hotel and their loss
was very heavy. but covered by insur-
ance. The rear of the IL. A. Bowman
block adjoining caught fire and was
practically ruined. Mr.. Bowman's
loss was entirely by damage from
water so far as his stock OF goods was
concerned and his total loss to build
inc and goods is in the vicinity of
$1,000. Kellogg & Jerome had a
quantity of kerosene in the cellar and
in the third story Of the Bowman block
was stored a lot of fireworks, making
the work OF the firemen on the roofs
extremely hazardous. The fireworks
were thrown into the river before the
flames reached them and the fire did
not reach the kerosene. The total loss
from the fire was about $1,000.

ployed by the firm of Smith, Whit

The payroll of the Winooski wooden
mills for August will be in the neigh
borhood of $500 less than usual and
the 1000 employees will have an en-
forced vacation OF two weeks. The
mills closed Aug Is. The order states
that following the example OF other
large corporations, the Washington
and Assabet wooden mills and other
mills of the company, including the
Winooski mills, close all departments
for two weeks, beginning Monday,
Aug. IL. 1t is expected that during
this period of idleness needed repairs
will be made to the mill property both
at Winooski and in other places.
The agent says that the mills do not
close because of lack of orders to keep
them running, but it is a matter OF
policy on the part of the management,
as they believe it to be a good thing
for the business and for the employees.

The plant and stock are valued at
$50, 600.

Prisoner Suffoeated.

Fred McCarty, a prisoner confned In
the Lafayette lookup at Winooskl, was
accidentally suffocated in the cell a
few hours after commitment Monday
afternoon, Aug. 10. McCarty was ar
rested on a charge of intoxication at
about o'clock and was placed in the
lookup on Malletts Bay avenue. About
4 o'clock the odor of smoke was de-
tected and on investigation it was To-
Gated in the vicinity OF the cells. The
door of the cell in which the prisoner
had been placed was broken in and he
was found lying on the floor, close TO
the cell door with his coat wrapped
tightly about his head, and in an I'M
conscious condition. All etfortslto re-
suscitate him were unavailing.
The theory advanced as TO the cause
of the fire is that the man, in empty
ing his pipe, while lying on the bunk,
dropped live ashes on parts OF the bed
clothing. which hung over the side
and on the floor. These must have
smouldered for some time as the ire
was not discovered for three hours fol-
lowing the arrest. An empty pipe, q
card OF matches and a package of to-
bacco were found in the pockets of the
mans coat. The mans body or cloth
ING were not burned at all and his
death was caused by suffocation.
The cell i'm which McCarty was con-
fined was without ventilation of any
sort. and that is considered a gross
piece of negligence on the part oisome

larceny, was arraigned before Justice
Myron f. Barr of Higheate at the Jail
Office Aug. 8. After a brief examina-
ton and hearing. he was discharged

A man arrested by City Sheriff
Docherty in Montpelier, Aug. H. on
the charge of attempted rape upon the
person OF Emma Billideau. was
brought before Judge Woodward in
city court the next forenoon and bound
over to county court in the sum of
$500. In court the man gave his name
as Edward Clark and acted as his own
counsel. The only witnesses were
the Billideau girl. Sheriff Docherty and
the prisoner. The girl testified that
she was II years old and that Clark
threatened to kill her If she attempted
to escape. Her assailant tried to have
her drink some liquor, but she re-
fused. Sheriff Docherty testified TO
the circumstances attending the arrest
OF the prisoner. Clark entered a gen
eral denial to the charge brought
against him. He is a man about 40
years old, and has the appearance Of a
hardened criminal. He formerly lived
in Keene, n. H., but has no residence
now. No bail was furnished for him.
In Justice court at Stamford Aug.
Is, Michael Blair, for an alleged des-
perate assault on w. b. Blair, was
held Tor the grand jury, and as he
could not furnish the required bail,
was placed in the town lookup until
Deputy Sheriff Morrisey could take
him to the county jail The lock-
up was a steel cage in the basement OF
the town hall It was put in eight
years ago and was considered secure.
About 5 o'clock that afternoon Blair
was seen going out Of the basement.
He passed several men while hurriedly
making for the woods and soon dis
appeared. Deputy Sheriff Morrisey,
on investigating, found that Blair had
sawed through two OF the steel bars of
the cage. The bars are three-fourths
of an inch in thickness. These he
sprung apart and succeeded in squeez-
ing through. Escape was then easy
When locked up he was searched and
no weapon was found on him. He was
given something to eat, and it is sup
posed that he made a saw out of the
knife given him at that time, as it is
missing. but the fork was found on
the floor of the cage. The assault for
which he was held was an unusually
aggravated one, his victim being near
IN killed.
