4 School Girl'S Petition.

Once there was boarding school for girls at Keene, N. H., of which an interesting remins- ence is found in letter written seventy four years ago by Mrs. Fiske, the principal. Some of the girls wished Christmas holiday. This is the lady's reply: My Dear Pupis-I have just received a petition from you requesting that our school may not be kept on Christn..s Day. Permit me to say that there is no imp O. priety in making the request but l do obj ,ct to the time and manner in which it is made First you probably debated on the subject and composed the petition in school hours, time which you should consider as sacred to your school pursuits as you consider your account. ability to God for the improvement of your tal- ents. Secondly, object to the manner in which it is done-it is imperfect in it's construction and five words are spelled incorrectly, it bears no date and contains twenty seven names writ ten by the same hand My dear young friends, beg you will make no more requests |! at school may not keep until you are more perfect in scholarship.

ARIZONA AND THE FAIR

Boosters for the Fl Paso fair, which opens on November 1, are at present in Globe working up interest in the annual exposition and arranging for a Globe district mineral exhibit. All of which is commendable as far as it goes. But the gentlemen are little strong in their talk on racing and sports that don't appeal as directly to the average Arizonan, who in the main is a miner, as some other attractions might. Of course Arizona people are fond of good horses ; they like to view the big yellow pumpkin; dote on the pedigree of barnyard fowls and are pas sionatey fond of the bouquet of alfalfa. But with all this varied admiration, their thoughts seldom meander far from matters mining for any period of length. And so anything pertain ing to the great industry, which leads all others in the United States finds ready response in the hearts of the Arizona man, or woman, for that matter.
 Time was when Fl Paso recognized this fact, and catered especially to the tastes of the ter ritory's people, but she has been derelict for a number of years and as a result there has been noticeable falling off in the number of people who attended the Ell Paso show.
 In November, 1902, and for number of years prior to that date, El Paso offered big prizes for drilling contests. She not only attracted teams from Arizona, New MeXico Colorado and as far north as Montana, but the drillers were followed to the fair by large delegations of people from the different towns of the mining states who would not have attended the show under other circumstances. Drillers through out the mining states are camoring for return to the good old El Paso fair days of yore and are insisting that the management not only ar range for drilling contests, but that purses of sufficient size be hung up'' to attract the best teams in the mining world In 1902 Chamber lain and Make made worlds record in Gun nison granite at Fl Paso and there are a dozen or more teams scattered around the country anxious to do some record smashing. Arizona has at least three such teams. There are two or three in Colorado and at least one team in Butte who would readily enter a contest in Gun nison for the worlds championship, and they are looking to Fl Paso to furnish the opportuni- ty and hang up prizes that will insure the ap- pearauce of the best drillers in the world. In the contest for the worlds championship, the first prize should not be less than 5000 and second of $500 This money would call for the best drIIers and great crowds from all min ing localities, especially from Arizona

OBTAINS INJUNCTION.
Boston & Maine II. X. Files Suit
Against Union Mutual Fire Insur-
anna IN

ance Co.
A suit in chancery has been brought
in Washington county court by the
Boston & Maine railroad against the
Union Mutual Fire Insurance COM
pany of Montpelier, accompanied by
an injunction restraining the latter
company from prosecuting certain
suit in Caledonia county court to re-
cover insurance from Cushman &,
Rankin of Lyndon. The plaintiff
claims that an agreement was made
with the Union Mutual and other COM
panies on November IL, 1908, where
by they should accept one-half of the
insurance in settlement of possible
litigation.
The Boston & Maine railroad now
claims that it settled with all the 9th
er companies, but that the Union
Mutual went back on it's agreement
and so it now sues for specific per-
Torrance of agreement. The insur-
ance loss on Cushman e. Ranklin's
property was $4,000, and it was
claimed that a spark from a Boston
K Maine locomotive started the fire.
Other suits have been entered in
county court as follows: Elmer

Big $4,000 FIRE

One Mill OF the Plant Of 4. L.
Chandler & Company a Total Loss
Valuable Machinery and Large
Quantity of Cured Lumber Con-
sumcd-Cause Not Positively
Known.
Orleans, Dec 13.-One of the large
mills of the plant .pf-E. L. Chandler
& Company, located at this place,
manufacturers of pianos and piano
supplies, was totally destroyed by
fire tonight, and only by the greatest
efforts of the local fire department
was the blaze confined to that build
ing alone. The loss is estimated at
about $4,000, with insurance consid-
erably under that amount.
Just what caused the conflagration
could not be ascertained with any
degree of certainty this evening but
1t is suspected that the flames had
their origin in the glue building,
where high temperatures are neces-
sary. The workmen have been en-
ployed at night for the past few
weeks, and this evening, stopped
work at about 9:1J o'clock. Fifteen
minutes afterward, the entire upper
portion of the big structure which is
sc feet wide by 1876 feet long, was in
flames.
The water system of the village
was used to good advantage in
checking the advance of the blaze to-
ward the other buildings of the
plant, but the fall of snow earlier in
the day prevented sparks from ignit-
ing the roofs of the adjoining struc
lures. A large quantity of cured
lumber, together with much expen>
sive machinery in the burned mill

EIGHT CANDIDATES INITIATED
Shriners Held Annual Meeting and
Election of Officers Friday Night.

At the annual meeting of Mount
Sinai Temple, Anciet Arabic Order,
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine, held in
Armory Hall Friday night eight I'M
terrified candidates were sent on the
long journey, across the hot sands
of the broiling desert, the heat, it is
said, being a great deal more intense
than that with which other pilgrims
from this district were ever afflicted.
According to inside information, given
out for publication, some of the can
location, not literally, of course, but
in the sense in which all true sons Of
the Shriners' desert understand the
word, and most OF them thoroughly
comprehend it's meaning in it's full
est import. The candidates who did
not, that is, the novices, of course,
had its widest meaning impressed up
on them in several different langua-
ges last night, not to even so much as
mention the part the camel took in
emphaciZing the exact and precise
definition, using as his argument a
thing or two that does or does not
appeal to the physical sensations, it
all depending upon whether or not
you are one of the initiated or a nov
ice.
1t is estimated that there were be-
tween 200 and $50 Shriners at Ar
mory Hall Friday night, all of whom
agreed that Friday nights meeting
was one of the best,if not the best,eve
held in this district. All of those
present accepted the invitation to
bring their appetitt5 with them, as
was attested to by the fact that the
elaborate feed" that was spread,
rapidly disappeared. 1t was generally
voted very CLASSY" layout.
Judging by the length of the ses-
sion, those present also accepted the
invitation to bring their night keys"
and to bring petition in fact,
two petitions, and it is probable
that some of them brought more than
the regulations allowed. The pro-
gram announced that there will be
work at the annual meeting and
there is absolutely no reason to doubt
the truth of that statement. When
it is considered that the degree work
was said to be the very best and that
all were enthusiastic over its success
it is almost possible for even an out
slider to understand why the session
was so lengthy.

PLANS FOR CONVENTION.
Interview With Fred L. Davis Re-
garding Dairymen's Gathering.

In an interview with a representa-
tive of the Journal recently given by
Cattle Commissioner Fred l.. Davis
on the Vermont Dairymen's Associa-
ton, Mr.. Davis said: "The Vermont
association is the largest in New
England, If not in the country, having
between six and seven hundred mem
bers, and it's object is, as might be
inferred from the name, to promote
dairying in this State. AS secretary
of the association | have been busy
for some time now completing plans
for the convention which is to be held
in Burlington on the fourth, fifth and
sixth of January. The program for
this years session is one of the best,
which has yet been drawn up and
should prove of great benefit to those
attending the meetings.
"The convention will include lee
lures by prominent men in dairying
and its by product as well as an ex-
hibition of butter, milk cream and
cheese for which prizes will be
awarded for the best samples. These
awards will consist of four cups and
a gold medal, valued at $50 for the
best sample of butter entered in the
exhibition. In addition to these pro-
ducts of the farm a large exhibition
of machinery has been entered being
machines used in the diaries and
needless to say they will be of the
most up to date patterns, being pro-
vided by the manufacturers for sale
purposes. This exhibition will be
held in the Armory while on the last
day of the session, in the evening, a
banquet will be given in the dining
room of the Van Ness House with ID.
J. Foster, of Washington, as the
toastmaster.
I'm conjunction with the meetings
of the Vermont Dairymen's Associa-
ton the ladies' auxiliary will hold
meetings in Burlington at a place to
be announced later. One of the lee
turers who will speak at these spec
ial meetings of the auxiliary will be
Miss Anna Barrows, of New York,
who will talk on cooking and house
hold economics. This should prove
very interesting, and a grand oppor-
tunity for ladies, whether the wives
of farmers, business men or profess
sional men. Another interesting fea-
ture of the session will be the reading
of the history of the association by
the Hon. Homer w. Vail, of Ran
dolph. who is one of the original
charter members and was chosen at
the last annual meeting of the asso-
citation to perform this work. The
history will later be printed in the
commissioners report Many prom
inent men are to be present at our
next meeting and | sincerely expect
that it will be, without doubt, the
best that the association has held

Unemployed, Who Yelled "Merry
Christmas, William"
New York, Dec. 13.-The Metho-
dists who were celebrating in Car
negie Hall tonight the founding of
the church's missions in Africa, gave
President Taft two Secret Service
Guards and Capt. Archibald Butt, his
aide, a nervous minutes at the
close of the meeting. President Taft
ha dbeen greeted cordially by the au-
dience when he entered the hall and
later when he spoke, but the demon
stration that came at the end almost
resulted in his being crowded off the
platform onto fragile press table.
Bishop Greer, of the Protestant
Episcopal church, had hardly pro-
nounced the benediction before the
audience began to mount the plat
form by way of the press table. At
the same time several hundred peo-
pie pressed forward to get their
share of the handshaking. The Pres
dents two alert Secret Service
guards with Captain Butt rushed to
the front of the platform, acting as
bulwark for the President, and at
the same time checking the crowd
that was swarming up from the body
of the hall.
After finishing at Carnegie Hall,
President Taft dropped around to the
Bowery and made a speech to 500 of
the unemployed at the Bowery Mis-
sion. The Bowery took to him might
lily, smiled in response to his smile
and cheered until their threats
cracked. The unemployed did not
get as familiar as bill" but when
President Taft, at the end of his talk
called out Good night, boys there
was quite a chorus of Good night.

Tomorrow the President will go TO
New Haven to attend a meeting of

banquet there at night, he returns to
