The greatest error that a father can
make is to omit to note the year that
is at the top of the current almanac
and to forget that his sons grow older

liable to get shock.

 There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and there fore requires constitutional treat ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, man. ufactured hy F. J. Cheney & Co.

HORSES MANGLED
PitifuI Sight in the Railroad Yard
Tuesday Afternoon

E. 3. Barrows's Handsome Span Run
Down by Freight Traln-5oth Animals
Had to be Killed
Two mangled and bleeding horses, in
iured so that they had to be killed, pre-
scented a pitiful sight i'm the railroad yard
Tuesday afternoon, toward evening.
They were owned by +. b. Barrows, the
coal dealer. and had been run into by
Central Vermont freight train. The team
was in charge of Edward Shepardson.
The sled had been loaded with coal, and
at the time of the accident the coal was
being weighed on the scales which stand
close to the east track, near the river,
the horses standing on the track. This
custom has been observed the past %
years, and Yardmaster Grady had always
given warning when cars were being run
on to the siding. On this occasion a new
yardmaster was in charge. Several cars
were backed by the switch engine at a
rapid rate and Mr.. Shepardson received
no warning until the cars were within a
few feet of the team, when his helper
shouted, but it was too late. The first
car struck the horses and showed them
along six to eight car lengths dragging
the loaded sled the greater part of the
distance.
When the car stopped one horse was
on its back under the car and the other
house which stood close to the track.
The horse under the car had all its legs
broken the bones protruding through the
flesh, and the other horse had its hips
crushed and was in such close quarters
that it was held upright.
Assistance came at once but it was n
long time before the men could eXtricate
the suffering animals. The horses were
shot as soon as possible, but their suffer-
ing made many strong men heart-sick.
The sled was completely demolished,
rendering it entirely worthless Mr..
Shepardson, in the very brief warning that
he had, picked up the reins in an effort
to avoid an accident. In doing so he had
a narrow escape He was Frustrated by
the shock, and for a long time his condi-
tion was alarming. His wife, who was in
Boston, was called home by telegraph.
The horses, one roam and one black,
We're one of the finest looking pairs i'm
Brattleboro. Mr.. Barrows bought them
of the Estey Organ company last autumn
and would not consider an offer of $500
for them. They weighed about 1400
pound each and were absolutely reliable.
The sled was new and the harness were
bought since Jan. l.

A TOWN AWAKENING.


There is one town in Vermont to which
the state is looking with pride, and Of
which much Is expected during the next
decade or so. That town is BrattlebOro,
admirably situated as regards beautiful
surroundings, with excellent natural adj
vantages and just near enough to the
large centres to feel the pulsations of
active Industrial life. and yet far enough
removed to escape domination by those
centres. Brattleboro, If we are to judge
by the newspaper accounts and the spoken
word of It's citizens, Is just now eN-
periencing a commercial awakening, which
should result greatly to its advantage.
In the words of one writer, Now there
Is a pervading air of encouragement
among our public spirited men which
promises a general awakening to the re-
quirements of the town I'm order to insure
its future land permanent growth And
the fact that Brattleboro has just secured
new industry which Will employ 40
hands lends strength to the assertion
The new industry is the chair factory
which was burned out mt Hartford several
weeks ago and which has been looking
about for a suitable location. 1t took
large inducement to get the company to
locate in Brattleboro a gift Of $4,000 and
exemption from taxation for a period of
ten years The tax exemption, 1t Is felt
sure, the town will vote at the next town
meeting, and the gift has already been
arranged for, in what way is not apparent
But Brattleboro is after new industries
and the means will be found. An electric
railroad to Hinsdale and Mortified is one
of the things being agitated also while
the old marrow gauge" road may be
changed into a standard gauge track.
These are indications that this town on
the Connecticut is feeling a new impulse.
all of which is being watched with in
terest by the state. Some other towns
may be induced to make similar trial If
Brattleboro fares well

LOCAL LEAGUE DIseANED,
Games have Been Poorly Attended and
Have Not Been a Success Financially.

Games have Been Poorly Attended and
Have Not Been a Success Financially.
The managers OF the Brattleboro Ath-
lettc association decided this week not to
finance the basket ball league any further,
the games having proved a losing venture
thus far this season. At no time have
the receipts more than paid expenses
and at most of the games there has been
deficit to be paid out OF the association
treasury: The managers wisely decided
that If the public interest was not suffi-
cient to maintain the league It would be
folly to deple,e the treasury to keep il
going. The game scheduled for Wednes-
day night between the Rutland and Brat
tleboro high schools was cancelled. II the
teams wish to play independently they
are at liberty to do so. The cost of
game of basket ball, in which an out-of-
town team participates. is about $50
From the beginning of the season interest
has centered around the games with the
Brattleboro Independent team. which have
drawn large crowds and have been sue
cessful financially. If an arrangement
could be made whereby some of the
league teams could play on the same
nights with the Independent team it would
be appreciated by the public
