Birmingham people are beginning to appreciate the fact that Shades mountain Is as attractive from a scenic and a summer resort point of view as Lookout mountain or any of the other southern resort places," said Oliver Chalifoux.

AN IDLE FELLOW.

The man who laughs is the man who wins Ger every sort of trouble; Who looks on life as a holiday
 And fame as fleeting bubble. The sun is genial friend of his,
 And every flower blooming; The song of the soil is in his heart
 And he has no time for glooming. The fields lnvito his random steps,
 The rivers start him dreaming, Where the lily sways to the rippled wave And the butterflies are gleamng. In the cool of the wood he lays him down. thousand miles from worry While a cloud sails over the blue above And the bugs and beetles scurry!

FORMER WIFE BANKRUPT.
Actress Testifes Her Recent Tours Have
Been Failures.

New York, July 2l--Mrs. Leslie Car.
ter, divorced some years ago and remar-
ried, but who retains her first husbands
name for the stage, testified yesterday
that she is now without funds, deeply
in debt, and that her last theatrical
tour, undertaken under her own man

appearance before the United States

summons compelled her to submit to
examination in an effort to discover
other assets than those given in the
schedule which she filed with petition
in bankruptcy some time ago.
Mrs. Carter said her financial troubles
dated back prior to November, 1907,
when, for second time, she started out
for a road tour under her own manage

Boston Americans Trade Pruiett, Pitch

Boston, July 2l.-Pres. John l. Taylor
yesterday accepted proposition made
by Napoleon Lajoie to trade pitcher
Thielman for Charley Pruiett.
On the last trip here Of the CIeve-
lands, Thielman pitched clever game
against the Red Sox, using fine curves
and showing pretty good form, so that
a proposition from Lajoie to trade Thiel-
man for PrlIiett, or one other pitcher
now with the locals, was taken under
consideration, and last night President
Taylor telegraphed Manager Lajoie that
he would accept, naming Pruiett in the
deal
Pruiett has looked pretty good at
times, and Manager Mcclure had great
faith in bringing the boy out as a win
ner, but luck has been against him, and
trade was considered the best thing
for the club.
Thielman was with the New York
Giants for year, and after change
or two landed in Cleveland last season.
lie has worked very little this season,
but is considered a fairly good man
when in proper shape. He will be given
a good trial, and has the chance OF his
life with the Red Sox.

HAD A HARD TIME
GETTING TO BARRE
Our Central Vermont Branch Threw a
Train Twice and Delayed Matters
for Long While--No One
Was Hurt.
Was Hurt.

The Central Vermont passenger train
made two unsuccessful attempts to get
to this city from Montpelier last even
ing between o'clock and IL o'clock,
going of the iron both times. The first
time they were wrecked just south of
the covered bridge at the electric car
barn. The trucks of the tender left the
rails and tore up the track for several
rods before the train was stopped. This
was the train due in Barre at 4:40. The
coaches did not leave the iron and about
eight o'clock an engine was sent up from
Montpelier and pulled the cars back to
the capitol. They started for Barre
again at II o'clock, and had got only a
few rods by the Wells River station
when the engine jumped the rails and
two cars followed. The ears were run
back onto the iron and another engine
was brought into service, and the run
was finally made to this city over the
Wells River track, reaching here at two
o'clock this morning.

INCENDIARY FIRE PLANNED.
Attempt Was Nipped by the Cambridge
Police.

Cambridge, Mass, July 2l.--A plan
to burn ree-family apartment house,
more elaborate, the police say, than has
come to light in recent years, was dis
covered yesterday at 1867 Cambridge
street. The ineendiary apparently aimed
TO secure the firing of the house and at
the same time avoid suspicion.
The hallway of the house, the mats,
floors and even the wall paper and wood
en- walls had been smeared with kero-
sene, and the surface over which anyone
entering the house must walk had been
we'll sprinkled with the heads of snap
matches. The plan had been, apparent
ly, to make it impossible for anyone to
pass through the hall without igniting
some of the match heads, in which ease
nothing could have prevented a fire, as
all the surroundings were drenched with
oil. A milknan discovered the trap and
notified the police, who are conducting
an investigation.

TWO BODIES
RECOVERED
Victims Of Double Drowning
Tragedy at LyndOnville
ONE WAS AN ONLY CHILD
Thought That Boys Went Out in Boat
and, Becoming Alarmed When
They Lost Control of Boat,
Jumped Into River.

Lyndonville, July 2l.--Two sets oi
boys wearing apparel found on the bank
OF the river last evening strengthened
the fears that had come with the failure
Of two boys to return home. A few
hours later the fears ,were confirmed
when two little bodies were removed
from the river, and two homes were
darkened by the hand of death. The vic.
Tins OF the double downing were:
Leo, aged 3, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. vii.
fred Beauregard.
William, aged 7, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Elmer Jock.
The details of the drowning were not
known, and probably never will be
KNOWN but the boys went out to the
river back OF the schoolhouse yesterday
afternoon at 1880 o'clock. When Mr..
Beauregsrd got home from his work and
found his son still missing he started in
search; and it was soon found that the
Jock boy was also missing. the search
led 10 the river and there on the bank
they found several articles of clothing.
The river was then searched, resulting in
the recovery of the bodies at about $3.50
O'Clock.
The body of the Beauregard boy was
found in what is called the sucker hole"
and that OF the Jock boy about $50 feet
further down the stream. The water
was about ten feet deep. Where they
apparently had gone into the water there
is shallow place. Both the bodies had
some clothing on, which leads to the
belief that they had gone in wading A
boat, usually tied nearby, is missing, and
this fact indicates that the boys after
wading around got into the boat and
showed out from the shore. Perhaps
they became alarmed when they lost
control of the boat and first one jumped
out and then the other; which might
account for the finding of their bodies
so far separated.
William Jock was the only child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Jock, while Leo
Beauregard leaves one sister and broth
cr who was younger than he.

annual custom the Burns monument is

strongly interested in the erection OF the
memorial, was held this afternoon.

and Robert lnglis was president OF the

Gaudenzio Warforlo Leaped
From an Electric Car
AND LANDED ON HIS HEAD
Barre Italian. Victim Of Second Car
Fatality, Lost His Life in Effort
to Recover Property whisked
OF by the Wind.

The wind having blown his hat of,
Gaudenzio Marjorie, who resided at l02
Smith street, jumped of backwards from
a fast moving electric car after it and
was dashed head first onto the rocks in
the brook which runs by the lntercity
grounds at BenjamiD's Falls at nine
o'clock last evening, dying later at the
City hospital. The place is only a few
feet from where II. IL. Perkins of Berlin
was fatally injured two weeks ago by
stepping OFF while car was in motion.
Marjorie was standing on the running
board OF Barre bound car, talking with
some companions who were in the seats,
when the wind suddenly took his hat.
Witnesses OF the accident say that he
turned and, looking back for an instant,
jumped from the platform. The car,
which was in charge of Conductor Charles
Page and Motorman Laird, was going
at fast rate and when the man struck
the ground few feet from where the
car passes over the brook which comes
down from the Falls, he was thrown
backwards and down into the brook,
distance of four or five feet.
The car was quickly stopped, and the
frightened passengers all ran back to the
edge of the brook and saw the apparent
ly lifeless body of the unfortunate man
lying on the rocks in several inches of
water. Eager hands soon lifted the man
from the brook and placed him on the
floor OF the car, and he was brought as
far as Berlin street, where he was taken
into Angelo Scampinfs house.
An ambulance was then called and he
was then taken TO the hospital, where
his injuries were examined by Drs. L. G.
Guidelli, w. L. Lazell and NJ l.. Chan
dler. They found that the top Of his
skull was crushed it. He died, without
regaining consciousness, at two o'clock
this morning. He was 27 years old and
was born in Italy. He leaves wife and
one child, four weeks old.
