CRIME NEAR MONTPELIER
Charles Mclean Found Dead az
His Lonely Home in
Worcester.
CRIME NEAR MONTPELIER

Montpelier, March l4:-Charles Nc
Lean, living alone on the Elmore
road, two miles from Worcester Cor
ners, was found dead this afternoon at
O'Clock by Isaac Prentiss, who was
the nearest neighbor Apparently he
had been murdered. The room was.
strewn with broken dishes and furpi-
ture and the body was found under the
bed in a somewhat mutilated condit-
ion. There were no bullet wounds
however.
1t is thought the murder was com
mitted Saturday night. He was last
seen alive by Prentiss, from whom he
borrowed sled on which to draw
home bag of meal People who went
to the house found fresh tracks OF meal
over the floor.
States Attorney j H. Senter was
called to the scene this afternoon, and
left for Worcester at O'Clock. Dep
uty Sheriff George Lackey of Worces-
ter and three or four other citizens of
that town went to the house this after
noon. There is no clue to the murder-
er. Mclean was 80 years old.
The body was found hidden away
under the bed by Mr. Prentiss, who
went to McLean's house to get thehand
sled which he had loaned him.
DR. w, D. Turner, who examined the
body later, said the man had been
dead since Saturday night.
A close examination after the arriy-
al of the states attorney showed that
McLean's skull had been crushed I'M
evidently by the blow of a club.
fractional fights and feuds have eE-
listed in this neighborhood for long
time and this is believed to be the re-
suit. Robbery was not the object as
McLean's watch was found on TIE
floor, where it had dropped out of bis,
pockes.

THIS YEARS
LICENSES
Commissioners Will Soon Receive
Applications.

While no time has been specified, IL
is expected that the license commission
ers win soon receive applications for
licenses for the coming year. Most of
the present ones expire Nay A. The
general.expectation is that there will.
be little change in the presentholdings =
The same modus operandi has to bs.
followed out this year that was last
year.
One reason why it is thought that the
commissioners will soon begin to act
is the fact that one Of the commission
ers, j. S. Holden, will leave April s,

In Montpelier the commissioners
have raised the price of first class li-.
censes to 1920.

EMOTION OVER SMALL TALK.

Zone of the first qualifications for
a man or woman who aims at being
social success is the ability to talk
and listen to twaddle in such way
that the face shall express all the
depths of pent up emotions while the
ears drink in the trivialities or the
tongue echoes the gossip Of scandal
of the hour"
This sentiment was uttered with
much JUNCTION by man of uncertain
age, whose face and figure have for
years been familiar in the clubs, in the
bathrooms and other places of social
resort in Chicago. His hearer was
a much younger man, whom by pre-
cept and by example he was trying
to initiate into the mysteries of So
cial life.
The two men were at a theatre
largely attended by the men and wo-
men who collectively constitute the
mysterious entity, Chicago society,
and they were watching couple
seated in one of the boxes. Now
watch the young man and woman
closely" continued the mentor, land
tell me what you think they are talk
ing about. You see that they are
both rich and Of high social standing.
If you don't know them yet you must
make their acquaintance at once, for
no one can be in society without
knowing them. Their conversation
seems to be interesting. doesn't it 7"

picture is the accompaniment" 7"
us he telling her one of those fairy
tales which all maids love to hear. of
resnectful admiration and chapesless
long little glances exclamation points
by which the maiden signifies her de-
light at the picture which the young
mans imagination has painted? I
can tell you just what the subject is.
You know that scandalous story
about two well known people began to
circulate yesterday. That young man
knows about it, for he has excellent
sources of information. His compan-
ion knows something about it and is
anxious to know more. He is salts
tying her curiosity, and they are both
gloating over the charming little bit
of scandal. But, my boy, they are
both artists, and you must school
yourself to play your part as well as
they. The next time that you have
occasion to tell a girl how many thou
sand dollars are involved in the latest
engagement transaction you must do
it with the same caressing grace in
your glance and in your gestures that
this young fellow brings into play.
Then, as reward for making fool
of yourself, the girl will perhaps re-
ply by one of these half smiles which
you seem to admire so much. - CHA

"Did you ever stop to think about
the fact that we have more showers
in the afternoon than we have in the
morning, and the causes which bring
about this RESULT" asked a man who
takes an interest in meteorological
questions.
"The chief factor is the upward
movement of the air which is brought
about by heat. You see in clear
weather the heat is not at its height
until after midday. The changes
which set in as a result of the air
movement in the afternoon, and the
gradual withdrawal of the SUM- force
as the orb rolls down toward the west
ern horizon will bring about just those
conditions favorable to the production
of showers, and the next result is the
showers we so often experience in the
afternoon.
"There seems to be in this, as in
all Of natures plans, a fine wisdom.
It would be impossible to measure
the advantage Of these showers to
plant life. Often plants need resus-
citation after the severe heat of the
day. They are in wilted condition,
and need the sprinkling we give the
plants in the flower garden. Nature
does the sprinkling by sending
good, refreshing shower. The after
noon shower is a great institution,
too, from the standpoint Of human
beings, and other animals, for ami
mails, you know, frequently begin to
droop under the depressing influence
Of severe heat. And, as rule, the
shower is needed more in the after
noon than at any other period Of
time. ."-New ORLEANS zimes-Dem0-

A SUNRISE.


The sun had 'wakened reluctantly
From behind his gorgeous spread;
And rubbed his eyes with his sleepy hand,
As he rose from his gay red bed.
Over the skies, coquettishly,
Some blue young clouds skipped by;
And fiirted and smiled at the lazy one,
When they peered in his half Ope'd eye.
The day advanced majesticly
And cOoed to the rich warm sun,
The clouds all whispered and hid their heads,
Though they peeped to see the fun.
The sun threw or his flimsy veil,
And dazed with all his might;
Then gathered the day in his big strong arms
And earth was flooded with light.
