War. That Were Caused by Women

1 do not think that any of you are
ignorant. my friends. that the greatest
wars have taken place on account of
women-the Trojan war on account Of
Helen, the plague which took place in
1t was on account of Chryseis and the
war called the sacred war on account
Of Theano. This war lasted ten years.
The Crissaean war; which also lasted
ten years, was excited on this account
because the Crissaeans carried of
Megisto. the daughter Of Pelagon, and
the daughters Of the Argives as they
were returning from the temple.
And whole families have been ruin

AT Portsmouth, N. H., the navy has

the new naval PRISON. where over GOO

has an efficient law which prevents the
sale of this drug to irresponsible parties,
but New Hampshire at the present time
has no such law, and it is now almost
a necessity that the state of New Hamp-

stringent law regulating the sale of

introduced into the prison and prison

greatest difficulty that smugglers can
be detected. Prisoners, therefore, often
form the habit OF using cocaine while in
prison, with the result that wnen they
are released they either become charges
on the community or criminals"
Vermont now has law which requires
the filing OF sales of poisons by an

who deals in the wares. 1t would look
more sensible TO erase the other per

could take a good step. And there is
a growing demand for more restricted

STRAY PICKINGS OF
LOCAL INTEREST.

A well known professional man OF
Barre has always worn full beard since
his residence here and Is familiar to his
many patrons only in that guise. Re
GENTLY he emerged from barber shop
without the hinsute facial adornment,
and the transformation was so remark
able that even his closest friends had
TO look the second time before they recog.
nized him, Thereby, runs a tale Of mis-,
taken identity as follow; a Barre lady
who was receiving treatment az the
hands OF the doctor went 10 his office to
till an engagement. She took q seat
and presently a heardless man entered
from the inner Office and said, why,
how do you do, Mrs. ------f III be
ready for you in Just a few moments,
and then returned TO the inner office.
The patient was nOnplussed at the
statement and considerably put out that
her doctor had transferred her case 20
an assistant. Why, he's a mere boy,
she said TO herself. And the more she
thought il over the more she thought she
wouldn't stay and let the young fellow
show his ignorance. Finally, her convic-
tions became so positive that she wanted
only her regular doctor, a man OF age
and experience, that she left the office
and went home. Arriving there she told
her husband that the doctor was ont and
that there was nobody but young,
inexperienced looking man there and she
wanted TO wait until the doctor got
back.
Some time later, the husband tclephoned
doctors Office and inquired il DIR. ---
was in, adding that his wife would call
ii he was, but she didn't want that
young Teller" DIR. replied that
he was In and that he would be pleased
to attend to her case, but In didn't
quite understand who was meant by
that young Teller" The woman's hus.
band didn't know, either; but it all came
out when the woman again went to the
doctors office, only to be confronted by
the same beardless chap, who explained
who he was and where he had been. He
had left the beard in the BARRIERS shop.
The woman was finally convinced that
IL was her own doctor. That was a case
where the whiskers made the man--in
the opinion OF this woman.
