PETITION FOR RELEASE.

A petition is about to be sent to the
trustees of the Vermont Industrial
School asking for the release of Fred
Blown of Marshfield, who is now con
fined in that institution. Brown, who
is only twelve years old, was indicted
by the grand jury last September for
murder in the first degree, in connec-
ton with the unfortunate shooting
affair in Marshfield i'll which eleven
year-old Homer Duke was shot
through the head and killed. The
county court accepted II plea of guilty
of manslaughter and sentenced the
boy to Vergennes for the remainder of
his minority. The cas- was one about
which nothing certain could be
learned except that young Duke was
dead, and many thought in spite of
the plea that the shooting was acct
dental. Among those who now sign
the petition are the then States at
torney. the grand juror and the jus
tice, who took part in the preliminary
hearing, nearly all the Marshfield
town officers, and about seventy-five
others, Marshfield voters. The papers
will be sent to Vergennes in season to
be acted on at the regular meeting of
the trustees of the school, which will
be held Friday, January 23.
F. j. Marshall of this city has the
matter in hand.

Now, this is all wrong. The simple
remark: Susie, you know | forbade
you to do that. Stop doing it," ought
to be enough, and it will be, too, if
the child knows that you mean what

Immediately, punish it. 1t is not likely
you will have to do so a second time.
If the child is not doing actual wrong,
don't nag it. Some women seem to
take a fiendish delight in this sort of
thing. If you want to make your child
sulzy, self conscious and fretful, why,
follow their example Don't keep tor
menting the child by telling it to stand
just so, smile just so and say just such
and such things. In particular do not
indulge in this sort Of performance be-

persimmons, said the old Kentucky
colored brother long ago, and Miss
Bernice Bardine, a Texas girl of nine
teen, has proved the old saw also true
in case Of one Of the most noted Of the
Lone Star States products, the pecan.
The finest pecans in the world grow in
Texas, where many orchards and
groves have been planted. Since the
invention of the machine to separate
nut meat from it's troublesome shell
the value of the pecan crop has In
creased.
The pecan tree Is species Of hickory
and grows very TALL sometimes $50 feet
high. It's branches sprangle out slim
and bushy, so far from the tree trunk
that the outer portions will not bear
the weight of even boy who tries to
crawl upon them, and according to
that exasperating plan with which ma
ture often tantalizes humanity the fin
est, largest and latest pecan nuts
grow upon those very limbs which are

Coats are trimmed with coarse vene-
tan and other extra heavy lace in nat
ural color or ecru or cream. Rarely is
mat white used OH any outside gar
ment. Coats are indiscriminately made
of velour, cloth, velutina, ribbed or
plain, and fine Lyons velvet They are
long enough to train, short, close to the
figure, loose and baggy, bloused and
in Louis XVI. and many other styles.
The long ones are naturally the most
dressy, but there is something for ev-
cry figure and purse. But the squirrel
fur coats are relegated to automobiling.

BALLOONING FOR PECANS.
inaccessible to any creature but a bird
or a cat. Bernice Bardine studied for
months the problem of how she could
get them.
Bernice and her brother last year
earned considerable money gathering
and selling pecans. The brother is the
younger of the two, and Bernice is the
brains of the partnership. She was
evidently born with the commercial
talent. After gathering the nuts last
year she laid her plans for a campaign
this year which should net her much
larger gains. During the winter she
matured them.
The first part of her scheme was to
learn all that was to be found out in
regard to pecan groves and their prod
uct on the one hand and the marketing
of the crop on the other. She made
journeys to see both the owners of the
groves and the merchants who bought
the crop. She thus learned where the
largest product in Texas might be
looked for, also where to expect the
best prices. That was the first part of
the programme.
The next was to buy in advance the
crops Of the best groves, precisely as
the enterprising merchant buys tobacco
in the field. She kept her plans to her.
self likewise, and here she showed the
acumen of great American financier.
Her investigations had shown her that
pecans were going to sell at a good
price this season, and she secured them
in advance. In due time buyers from
wholesale nut houses in the cities ap-
peared among the pecan grove owners
in the Colorado river valley offering
77a cents pound for the nuts. They
found that the girl Bernice Bardine,
scarcely as yet out of short dresses,
had bought the product of every pecan
orchard in that region She had actual
~ leased for 500 a grove in which
some Of the trees bore twenty bushels
apiece, and the sum total of the yield
amounted to nearly $4,000 from this
one grove. She had certainly proved
herself the tallest pole here.
But one matter veXed her not little
The finest pecans of all were apparent
ly inaccessible. They were in the tops
of trees where the picker dared not
climb. The custom has been to brush
the nuts off with thrashing pole as
high up as the tree climber could reach.
Those beyond him had to be left, and
they were the choicest nuts of all,
bushels and bushels of them. II will
have those nuts if / have to go after
them in balloon" said Bernice. "They
IRE worth several thousand dollars"
Some of the tallestpecan trees in Texas
grow at Granite Shoals, and as a mat
ter of course their tops, which nobody
can reach, are every summer full of the
choicest nuts. They hung and swayed
there before the eyes Of Miss Bardine

no longer. Then this irrepressible Tex
as girl ordered hot air balloon to be |
brought to Granite Shoals. A furnace
was built in the grove and the silk bag
was inflated with hot air. The girl, |
armed with pecan thrashing pole got |
into the car, and up the balloon went |
with her to the tops of those giant trees |
where the big nuts grew. Upon the |
ground below men held fast to the guy
ropes while Bernice got the pecans.

The Use of Fur.

The low cut bodices make the fur

The evening waist this season is not

pretty innovation is to have a row of

a real swansdown puff around the
neck and sometimes around the sleeves
or down the front of the waist. This
is soft and delicate. 1t allows the lace
