BELLOWS FALLS NEWS
Three Deer Killed by Locomotive.


A Walpole correspondent tells the fol-
lowing interesting story: Much interest
has been excited i'm the village by the
unhappy accident that occurred early last
Thursday morning by which three beau
tiful deer that have made their home in
this vicinity, lost their lives. a herd of
six or seven deer strayed upon the rail-
road track during the previous day and
were run into by the milk train on Thurs
day morning or by some train during the
night. Arthur Wells, engineer of the
local freight going south, noticed an in
jured deer near the track and telegraphed
from Westmoreand to Sheriff H. \. Per-
ry, who sent Warren d. Knowlton and ].
r. Spry TO look the matter up They
found that wounded deer had crossed
the highway just north of Miss Clara
Gowing's, and following the trail found
the deer lying among the trees on the
hillside east of c. b. Wilburs. one of his
forelegs was broken short off and he was
otherwise injured, and, as nothing could
be done for him, he was shot and brought
to the village. Next morning it was
learned that the story was not yet com
plete and that more deer were lying near
the railroad track On going down to the
scene Knowltou and Morse found two
does lying in the snow with their legs
broken, but still alive. Two others We're
near by but apparently not seriously in
jured as they ran off. The two injured
deer were put out of misery and their
bodies brought to the village and the
three were hung in SHADES market until
instructions can be received as to their
disposal from State Game Commissioner
Wentworth.

Financial Results of License.

Figures have been given out this week
showing the result of the first year of
license in Bellows Falls. The town has
received from licenses granted $500, and
from fines imposed for intoXication $35.
Half of this amount has been paid over
to the state, leaving a balance of S14175O
with the town. The expense of the IL
cense commissioner has been 5000 so that
the net profit to the town has been roughly
about $1,000 When the profit usually ac-
cruing from the town agency under pro-
hibition is deducted, and also the salary
of the extra policeman engaged since the
passing of the new law, the pecuniary
advantage that Bellows Falls derives from
license is seen to be rather small. The
figures showing the arrests for the past
year are 142, of which 115 were for intoX-
ication and disturbance The figures of
the previous year show Sc arrests, with 76
for intoXication. The deductions would
seem to be that while license has greatly
increased the drunkenness in town, the
financial side has not brought a common
surate return.

We heard a man say the other morning
that the abbreviation for February-Feb.
means, Freeze every body, and that man
looked frozen in his ulster. 1t was appar-
ent that he needed the kind of warmth
that stays, the warmth that reaches from
head to foot, all over the body. We could
have told him from personal knowledge
that Hoods Sarsaparila gives permanent
warmth, it invigorates the blood and
speeds 1t along through artery and vein,
and really fits men and women, boys and
girls, to enjoy cold weather and resist the
attacks of disease. 1t gives the right kind
OF warmth, stimulates and strengthens
at the same time, and all it's benefits are
lasting. There may be a suggestion in
this for you.

The Coming Carnival.

The indications are that the APP
proaching Trades Carnival i'll Jack
sonville will be bigger and better
Chan that of last year. This Is say
ing great deal.
The gentlemen who comprise the
present carnival committee have the
experience of last year to go ON, and
equipped with this asset they pro-
pose to astonish the people of Flori-
da during the week beginning Oct.
24th and ending Oct. 18th.
The north and west have been ram
sacked for attractions, and right now
two of the committee are in Chicago
in conference with some of the big
gest showmen in the country, nego-
tiating for pike" that will be the
talk of Florida all this winter.
Invitations have been sent to the
ambassadors of Great Britain, Ger
many. France and Cuba to send war
vessels during that period, and assu-
RANGES have already been received
from the United States and the Brit
ish governments that each of them
will send war vessel, and it is very
likely that the other countries will
follow suit.
Negotiations are now PENDING with
the war department to have u troop
from the famous Seventh Cavalry to
come to Jacksonville and give daily
exhibitions of their wonderful horse
manship. This feature was the most
attractive in last years carnival, and
the news that this famous cavalry
will return will be hailed with pleas
ure by all those who went to see
them and were held spell-bound with
their thrilling equestrianism.
The business men of Jacksonville
are cooperating with the carnival
committee in a most encouraging
way. Already over $4,000 worth of
tickets have been purchased and will
be sent to their friends in the state.
Special rates will undoubtedly be
given by the railroads who are~cO-
operating heartily with the move
ment.
For week of enjoyment there is
nothing that promises more than the
Jacksonville Carnival from Oct. oath
to 18th, and Floridians will find it to
their interest to go to Jacksonville
on TINT OccaSiOn.

ton. While those attributes were
commendable, the husband of today
wants something mnre-he wants his
wife to know who is mayor
--H would be interesting to have an
estimate of the regular salary sup

1t would be even more interesting
to know why the beauty and sweet

seem now to be deemed insufficient.
Possibly the women who demand
laws for the subjugation Of their hus-
bands neglect to cultivate the sweet
disposition. Certainly they haven't

SHEATS vs.. HOLLOWAY.

The state democratic executive
committee at it's meeting in jack
,unvIIt last week was considerably
stirred up over the charges of crimi-
nal libel which have been preferred
against w. NJ. Holloway, candidate
for State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, by the present Superin-
tendeht, W. n. Sheats.
Some papers have referred to the
charges as forgery"
As matter of fact Mr.. Holloway
has been guilty of neither "crilnlnal
libel" nor forgery"
All that has been charged against
him is that he has been guilty of in
tcrpolating n letter which Supt.
Sheats wrote him at the time Booker
Washington was invited to visit
Gainesville.
The controversy is an easy thing
to settle provided the committee
goes about it III the right way
Mr.. Shcats says he never wrote the
letter Holloway charges him with
writing.
Mr. Holloway says Sheats is An
other" and that he has the letter
Prof. Holloway also promised to
show the letter to his friends during
the campaign. But he has never
done so.
As result of his failure to show
this letter HoIloway's friends are
losing confidence in him.
He can restore confidence in him
self and forever settle this controv-
ersy by simply SHOWING THE
ORIGINAL SHEATS LETTER to
the state committee which has been
appointed to investigate.

TYING KNOTS IN JAPAN.
1t Is a Serious Art, AS n Mistake May
Mean nm Insult.

II Is a Serious Art, as n Mistake May
Mean nm Insult.
Like the arranging of flowers, the
tying of knots has been carried TO the
point of a complex art by the Japa-
-nese. There is one way-one right
way, that is--to knot the cord that
confines birthday OF New Years pres
ent. There is one way TO tie the bro
cade bag of the tea jar when the lat
ter is empty and another when it is
full. Not only general ignorance OF
social customs but deadly insults may
be communicated by the way II knot is
tied, foreigners often making dreadful
mistakes either through not knowing
or from ignoring the niceties of knot
etiquette.
Hooks and eyes, buttons and buckles
are unknown SO fur as Japanese dress
is concerned. They do not have much
to fasten, but what they do have they
fasten with cord. That is why they
have carried the tying of cord so far.
The Japanese have hundreds of orna-
mental knots, some of them so old that
they antedate written history
japanese children are taught to make
knots just as they are taught to write
and draw. All sorts Of flower and
animal forms are copied. There is the
chrysanthemum knot, the iris knot,
plum blossom, pine tree and cherry
blossom knots. There is a stork knot,
a turtle knot, knot named for the
sacred mountain Fujiyama. An easy
knot Is called the "old mans knot"
There Is also an ''Old woman's knot"

SALARIES FOR WIVES.

\ Chicago CLUB woman recently
asked the Ill.aois Federation of Wo-
man $ clubs to demand of the legis-
nature law requiring husbands to
pay their wives a regular salary.
Nine-trnths of the wives in the Uni
ted States are home women, declares
the author Of this proposition, and
have no property rights whatever.
The woman who has property
rights is protected by laws, but the
home woman is at the mercy Of her
husbands generosity The husband
can dictate Just how much she shall
spend
If the husband wants to buy pair
Of expensive trousers, he can do so
without consulting his wife, but if
the wife wears the trousers the
husband reserves the right to regu-
late the cost.
Manifestly this Is unfair. 1t takes
the spirit of Independence out of a
woman.
She may, indeed, get along very
well in the home. where her inter
ests aud those of the selfish brute she
lives with are in common, and where
he must be dccently liberal to be
comfortable.
But without money Of her own to
spend as she pleases, and, above all,
without absolute independence of
her husbands domination, she never
can be a man among men in the wo-
mems clubs.
She never can go gadding about
conventions, demanding the emanci-
patton Of women who do not want to
be- cmancipatcd from that sweet de-
pcndenco in love which is the most
sacred part of a woman's nature.
She cannot cut her hair and split
her skirts and stand before the world
rs an example that woman is equal
to man in all things-not while she
must go to her husband for permits
sion to buy pair of half-hose or n
red cravat.

this proposition, husbands were
held by beauty and sweet DISPOSE
