ABUSE OF HOSPITALITY.
The Way II Was Rcbuked by an
Oriental PHILOSOPHERS.

Hospitality is an excellent thing"
said the story teller, but it is open 10
abuse. Let me tell you how the orien-
tai hospitality of Nasr Eddin, great
man of the east, was abused many
years ago.
"From a distant village a poor man
came to Nasr Eddin and made him n
present of hare, Nasr Eddin was de-
lighted with his gift. The poor man on
the strength of it stayed with him a
month.
"a short time after Il stranger came
with his entire family to, Nasr Eddins
house.
"'We,' the stranger explained, ARE
friends of the man who gave you the
hare
"Nasr Eddin welcomed the visitors
warmly, and they stayed two weeks.
"They had not been gone long when
another family Of strangers. arrived.
"Whom have | the honor TO re-
ceive" said Nasr Eddin.
"'Friends of the friends of the man
who gave you the hare was the reply.
"Nasr Eddn looked grave. He id
not invite these guests indoors. lie

some clear fluid. Tasting this fluid,
they made WY faces, for it was moth

"'What is this you offer us, oh, Nasr
Eddin?' the strangers said reproach-
fully.
"rhc host replied.
"'Oh, that is the sauce of the sauce

Prisoner Assaults Keeper.

A report comes from the STATE
prison at Windsor that Arturo Ber-
nacco, who attempted to assassinate
Chief of Police Brown of Barre IA
few years ago, has been up at his
old tricks within the prison walls
and the other day assaulted one of
the keepers, on whom he attempted
to draw a knife. The weapon was
taken away from him and Bernacco
was given a trouncing and put in the
dungeon. AS G result of the fight,
pne Of the guards has been wearing
a black eye. Where Bernacco Sc
cured the knife is a mystery the
prison officials are trying to solve.
He had the weapon hidden about
his clothes and during the scrim-
mage attempted to put it into use,
but his murderous designs were
frustrated. Bernacco, who was
given 20 years at hard labor, is set
down on the books as a DANCE, Gus
criminal.

To Promote Sale Of Vermont
Farms.

A meeting of prominent real es-
tate dealers Of the state was held in
Rutland Tuesday in the interest of
Vermont real estate. Those present
were. Eligar T. Moore of Rutland,
George M. Moore of Ludlow, N. S.
Foote of Middleburv and L. M.
Hays, representing the Reynolds
McGinnis Co. of Essex Junction.
Matters pertaining to all branches
of the business were discussed. 1t
developed that the bulk of the sales
made by these men during the last
year were to buyers from outside the
state. A plan of advertising was
presented and accepted whereby
Vermont will be given greater pub,
licity in 1905 than it has ever re-
ceived in the past and an effort will
be made to induce outside BUYERS to
invest in Vermont farms. 1t was
decided to hold frequent meetings in
different parts of the state.

Directors of State Institutions Reply

The board of directors Of the state
prison, Windsor, and the house of
correction, Rutland, comprising John
N. Woodfn, of Rutland, A. E. Cud-
worth, of South Londonderry, and
Fred B. Pier, of Jamaica, the newly
appointed member who eacooods
Marsh O. Perkins, of Windsor, met
at the house of correction Dec. %
and organized as follows: Chairman,
John N. Woodfin; secretary, A. E.
Cudworth. The new member was
taken through the institution.
Mr.. Woodfn and Mr.. Cudworth
have written an open letter to Gov
G. j. Bell in which they answer the
charge and insinuations made in the
report of the Legislative investigation
committee. In the letter, which is
of great length, the directors charge
unfairness on the part of the COM
mittec. They claim that casual
reading of the report leaves the i'm
prcssiJn that gross irregularities
have existed in the management Of
the state prison and tic house of
correction FOR years and that one is
inevitably led to the conclusion that
hardly an honest man during that
period has been connected with eth
er institution.
The directors say that a closer an
alysis of the report, however, does
not show facts which sustain the
committc. Such analysis on the
contrary shows that there was very
little in the report except insinua-
tims and clever use of language
which dcrcives rather than enlight-
ems the reader. A report which
male such harsh recommendations
as the report in question should be
clear, definite, and precise as to
facts found.
Each charge and insinuation in
the committees report is answered
by the directors, who uphold the
prison officials and claim that both
institutions have been managed in a
business-like manner. In conclusion
they say, ave are willing to stand
on The record which has been made
and to be judged by the results ac-
complished."

Woodstock, w., Dec. 81, 1904

The board Of directors of the state
prison and the house of correction
are much more than half right when
they say that a report like that of the
investigating committee which made
such harsh recommendations should
be "clear, definite, and precise as to
facts found" The committees re-
port certainly didn't fulfill these con-
ditions. 1t minated that the re-
moval of one or two. well known
officials would be good thing for
the state, but made no direct charges
against any one. And in the absence
of direct accusations, the committee
might better have kept silent alto
gether.

Sale of Brewery Plant.

and the property was struck off to
w E. Barrett Of Boston, represent
ing the Alpha Investment company
Of Boston, his bid being $4,000,
the bid being $4,000 more than
the face Of the mortgage against
the plant held by the company. The
John P. Squire interests did not de-
velop. 1t is possible that later de-
velopments may materialize so that
the imuense plant of the Squire
company may locate on the brewing
plant, it being understood that the
Squire plant is being forced out of
Somerville, Mass, and that the COM
pany is very favorably impressed
with the brewery location and has
already taken tentative steps toward
acquiring the property.

A WINNING SCHEME.
The Power of Timid Beauty 10 pin-
arm wrathfui shoppers.


A woman whose stern visage spelled
trouble, says the Philadelphia Record,
stepped up to the complaint desk In n
big store. Back of the desk was Il tlmid
miss-one of those Dresden doll girls
who never seem to lose their baby ways
and mt the sight of the wrathfuI
shopper she seemed TO shrink bit,
while into her wide blue eyes came
what the poets would style the look of
q startled fawn. The indignant Gus
toner began TRADE about some mis-
take that had been made In connection
with - purchase, but her anger dsap'
peared when she saw how much the
shopglrl seemed to take the matter to
heart Finally, after calmly explaining
the fault, she went away smiling. IT'S
a great scheme" remarked the obscrv-
ant manager with the air of man be-
slowing bouquets on himself You
see, in every large business establish
ment there are bound to be mistakes
occurring all the time. When GUS
toners come back and kick about err
rors they are usually in an unreason-
able frame of mind. If there was a
man back OF the complaint desk or a
strongminded woman, we'd have all
kinds of trouble smoothing out the
kinks, because the customers would
keep their fighting mood on when
they encountered somebody who looked
able to take care of himself. But to
60 up against a pretty, timid girl dis
arms them, and in minute they are
cool and ready to talk over the situa-
ton peaceably. The men kickers could
not raise a row with handsome girl
and the women-well, their motheriy
instincts are touched and they become
good humored."

THE PORTABLE WATCH.
1t Was Probably First Used In tn
sixteenth Century.

sixteenth Century.
There is uncertainty as to when tltI
portable watch, as we understand it b /
day, came into use. 1t was probabs
at the close of the sixteenth century.
Queen Elizabeth owned large mum,
Der of watches. Mary, queen of Scots
was the possessor of skull shaped
watch. In fact, the deaths head
pattern was at that time much in
vogue. Endless We're the styles, for
there were watches shaped like books,
pears. butterflies and tulips. The
Nuremberg egg was n special shape
md was first made in 1900. Those
queer shapes of watches prevented
their finding place in the pocket
When was the fob first used in the
dress of man? The German of fob Is
"fuppe," and II is believed that it came
from England through the Puritans,
whose dislike for display may have
induced them TO conceal their time
keepers from the public gaze" This
conjecture is strengthened by the f1't
that short fob chain attached TO Il
watch of Oliver Cromwell in the Brit'
ish museum is in point Of date the first
appendage of the kind known. Tie
watch is n small oval one in silver
case and was made about 1925 by
John Midnall Of Fleet street.
