The Rutland Horse Show.

A new feature has been arranged for
this year in connection with the Horse
Show and Breeders meet to be held in
Rutland June 25, 26, 81. Beginning at
8 o'clock the morning of June % an
auction sale of horses will be held. An
expert auctloneer will be secured from
New York to conduct the sale. This
should afford the opportunity for large
number of sales, as horsemen from all
parts of New England York state and
Montreal will attend the show. Plans
are being completed for an excursion
from Montreal, while enthusiastic horse
men in New York have written the
secretary of the association that a large
party is being made up there to attend
the three days. One of the hotels in
Rutland has received word from numer-
Gus parties in Boston asking for accom-
modations.
The merchants in the city have
planned to keep open house horse show
week, and to do all they can to help
entertain the visitors. From present
indications it looks as if Rutland would
have the opportunity of extending a
welcome to the largest number of visitors
these three days that she has ever had in
the history of the city.

Cough q.

"Theres nothing so bad for a Cough
as Coughing" Coughing is like scratch
ing a wound; SO hong as it is done, it
will not heal. When tempted to Cough,
draw long breath through the nostrils;
hold it until it warns the air cells. The
nitrogen thus refined, allays the desire
to cough and gives the throat and lungs
a chance to heal. The use of Seventy
seven" will aid nature in her efforts to
recuperate.

APARTMENT HOUSE ATTIRE
Tots Play with Matches and Are Only
Saved by Quick-Witted Labor
ers Who SEE the
Smoke

NEW YORK, Sept 1.-Two babies
were saved from death today by Tony
January and Mike Reich, laborers, who
having seen smoke and heard the cries
of children, burst in the flimsy door Of
an apartment on the third floor of the
tenement at 81 James street.
Mrs. Mary Cuchito, the mother of the
children, had left them alone while she
went out to do her marketing. Tony,
aged 2, and Chichi, aged 8, managed to
get hold of some matches, and the fire
resulted.
The laborers were at work in the street
when smoke began to pour from the
windows. They also heard the frightened
cries of the children. Without waiting
to send in an alarm of fire the men
rushed into the building, running up the
long dark stairs, until they reached the
door, They found it locked. but they
had no difficulty in breaking through the
panels.
They found that the children had set
a mattress on fire. The flames were
rapidly eating their way into the wood
work of the room, and Reich picked up
the babies, while January, assisted by
others, put out the fire. The damage
amounted to about $75 The babies were
happy enough when their mother re-

MOTHER BARS LONG PANTS;
WANTS TO KEEP BOY LITTLE

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The petition
which Bonnie COINS schoolmates In the
senior class of the Orange high school
got up this week in an effort to per-
suade Max Cohn, the boys father, to
equip his son with long trousers proved
futile, because of Mamma COINS desire
to keep her boy boy as long as pos
sible..
The petition was delivered this after
noon by mail because that was thought
the safest way. Mr.. Cohn said that he
was not responsible for the knickerbock-
ers Bonnie wears, and that 1t was the
mother who objected to the long trousers
yes said Mrs. Coin, II refused to
let Bonnie have long trousers You see,
my children are growing up fast enough,
and, as Bonnie is the last of my boys,
want to keep him young as long as pos
sible OF course. 1t is natural that the
boy wants to be like his friends, but you
know that he will have to wear long
trousers long enough. and 1t will not do
him any harm to delight my eyes In

No Positive Action in
Cases

Judge Wilbur of the superior court was

Ahe had been guilty of the most heinous
{ offense.
Asked by the Judge what could have
possibly induced him to steal the pills
he was at a loss to say. He scratched
his head for minute OF more, and finally
said: II don't know, judge; / guess
just wanted them"
well, you look rather hungry, any
way" said the court. Step aside and let
Edrina Hartley come to the front"
In response to the call came a weazen-
faced lad who stood before the judge
shiyering from head to foot.
whats the matter with you, Edrina?
I understand you insist on sleeping IN
derneath the house and are constantly
at odds with your stepfather. Is that
true?" No response. The question was
again asked of the boy, until finally he
there, and he Is so mean to me-"
The stepfather was brought to the
stand and asked concerning the lad, and
it was learned that the youngster was
guilty of the charge.
No definite action was taken by the
court with regard to either case and 1t is
possible that decision will be reached
today.
A number of other cases were begun.
but finally continued until today.

propriated to defray his expenses b.
turned back into the department funds
Chief Lips letter is as follows:
II am in receipt of a communi-

clerk stating that your honorable
body has made an appropriation of
$3.50 for the purpose of allowing me
\ to attend the International con-
yention of fire chiefs to be held In
Washington, d. G.
while know that the data and
information that / could secure by
being pers onally present at this
convention would be of untold
benefit to the department, owing to
the unexpected action of the coun-
ell lin causing the fire department
to resort to a bond election for
contemplated improvements instead
of furnishing the money from the
tax levy, feel that 1t is my duty
to remain here and work for the
successful outcome Of the bond
election in October
while fully approaching the
courtesy of your honorable body in
this connection I must decline to go
east at the present time and would
respectfully ask that the amount
of $3.50 be placed to the credit OF
the fire department fund for the
purchase of supplies or the pay
ment of salaries"
