Look at the Arab and the nonladS
of the East-the peoples of the ris-
ing sun, always up before the day."
Are they nervous, easily confused,
do they go insane? They are often
marvels of cool, calm judgment in
the midst of their surroundings, and
literally amaze men, college-bred. If
a boy is to become mighty man he
must sleep, not late, but early. If
he is to live long and continue great,
he must still sleep, early. There is
no other 7oay of becoming truly
great and keeping great Men who
persist in disobeying this rule do
not live to be, like Gladstone, a
grand old man.

1T is therefore necessary that we
should act together. We cannot
hope to be admitted into the Union
by abusing each other, for, if we
cannot find any good in ourselves,
it will be difficult for the citizens of
other portions of the country to find
it. We must build up Our local gov
crn!nent and improve Our surround
ings by showing to the world that
we possess eminent fitness to be-
come a part OF the American fam

Z. Dammers has been doing business

the fact that he is able to make regu-
lar and successful visits here at the

satisfaction he has given. A call upon
him and his assistants at the hotel dur
ing one of his regular visits will dispel
the doubts of the most skeptical per-

oldest and most prominent citizens of

strongly republican at that time. Mr..
Webb married Miss Jane ". Albee of

EXPOSED TO SMALL : POX.
GIRL ILL WITH THE DISEASE ON SHOP
PING TOUR HERE TUESDAY.
Visited Many Stores, Her Body Covered With
Eruption Sought Druggist for Lotion for
Ivy Poisoning and Nature Of Her Case Was
Disclosed General Vaccination Urged.

Brattleboro has this week been ex
posed directly to smallpox, but there
is no present need of alarm over the
matter. There is, however, every rea-
son for precaution and watchfulness,
and DR.. II. l.. Waterman. health of.
ficer, strongly urges general vaccina-
tion. Many of our people. perhaps
/ dozens of them, were directly exposed
to the disease last Tuesday and the de-
velopments of the next fortnight. which
will cover the period of incubation.
will be awaited with keen interest.
/ Tuesday afternoon about 4 O'Clock
I Mr.. and Mrs. Winfield Houghton and
their daughter Dora, aged u, drove
1 into town from their home at Deer
park, Halifax. They came on gen
eral shopping trip, and the young girl
1 in particular wished to obtain lotion
| for severe eruption on her face,
which had run several days and was
| steadily growing worse The team was
| horse was hitched and the party start
ed out among the stores.
About 5 30 o'clock the party of three
entered local drug store. The girl
told the clerk that she thought she
was suffering from ivy poisoning, but
when she said that the eruption, which
was apparent on her hands and face,
was in evidence all over her body, the
clerk became suspicious and advised
consulting a physician. DR.. Aldrich
was called and he directly called DR..
Holton. of the state board of health,
into consultation. The result was that
the case was diagnosed as small pox,
in mild but we'll developed form.
There was no doubt in the minds of
the doctors they were sure of it.
Consequently the girl was at once or
dered into her parents team and the
three drove home Immediately, start
ing from the livery stable about
O'Clock
Wednesday, DR.. Aldrich. who is as
sistant health officer, visited the
Houghton family at Halifax and guar
antined the house. He found six 9th
er children there. The inmates were
all vaccinated and ordered to remain
indoors under penalty of the law.
The fact that the Houghtons, when
they drove home from town early Tues
day evening, had a dozen or more bun
dies of all sorts and sizes in the back
of the wagon goes to show how general
has been the exposure. They came to
town on shopping tour and evident
ly visited a good many stores before
they stopped at the druggists. In this
way scores of persons must have been
more or less directly exposed.
In tracing the source of the disease
the doctors in charge have concluded
that ii came from Greenfield, where
the girl Dora was visiting friends a
month or six weeks ago The patient
is now in charge of Eli A. Cook, health
officer of Halifax.
Health Officer Waterman urges vac
cination at once, and adds that all per
sons who have not been vaccinated
within seven years should have it done
at once. Already the druggists are
rushed with orders for vaccine points.

CEDAR LAWN BURNED TO THE GROUND
Bernardston's Beautiful Summer Home De-
stroyed-Heroic Work of Volunteer Fire
Fighters.

The house, Cedar Lawn" South
street, BerDardston, owned and occu-
pied by Mr.. and Mrs. A. Afford was
burned to the ground Tuesday between
the hours of and 3 p. m. The house
was the most commodious and moss
substantial one in town, built about
30 years ago by Nahum s. Cutler The
present owners had enlarged and i'm
proved the premises in various ways
especially by building spacious veran-
das and the place has been a favorite
summer resort for friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Afford from New York, Brooklyn
and other places. Mr.. Affords away in
the west on business trip for the cut
lery company and Mrs. Afford had
gone to Holyoke for the day. The fire
caught about the kitchen chimney and
the room above was ablaZe when the
fire was discovered; it might have been
burning some time before. The alarm
was given about / O'Clock, there was
no delay in moving the fire apparatus,
consisting of hand engine, hook and
ladder truck and chemical engine.
Heroic work was done, there were no
idle hands. All the wells in the neigh
borhood were pumped dry and water
was brought from little brook east of
the house by which means they were
able to save the two houses on the
north in the face of strong wind.
Carpets and blankets were attached to
some of the most exposed parts of the
buildings and kept constantly wet
Men worked vigorously, boys were ac
tive and helpful, girls and women re-
ceived and packed away many of the
things taken from the premises de-
stroyed Most of the furniture of the
main building was saved: the barn
was also burned The buildings were
we'll insured. There were several guests
at Cedar Lawn" before the fire, they
all escaped unharmed and their belong
ings were safely removed. 1t has been
remarked that there need now be no
more jokes about our diminutive fire
engine, and those who worked to save
the exposed buildings would do credit
to we'll trained fire company The
loss is about sl2, 600. The house cost
nearly 50. 600.
