The American Girl'' given here
Wednesday evening was co onsidered the
best thing presented in Barton for
ever given. Every character por.
seemed stage-like. Special mention
ler and the Little Prince and the Little
Lady. The American Girl also brought
forth applause and was spoken of as
a star. The small /. crowd present
again emphasized the fact that good,
clean company presenting a thing of
real value cannot afford to visit the
town. The play deserved crowded
house.

END IS NEAR
A Memorable Session of the Legislature
Is Drawing to Close. One More
Judge. No Primary Election Law.
More Salary Grabs. The
Grand Climax.

AS we review the work of the legis-
lature for the past week we cannot
suppress a smile. although the devel-
opments of the week have shown that
Ito smile is dangerous thing. The
first serious clash of the session result
ed from what may have been an in
advertent smile upon the classic face
of the gentleman from Cavendish. Of
might. easily become serious but the
two members concerned seemed able to
rise above the occasion and settle the
matter to their mutual satisfaction.
It was not so however between the
gentleman from Springfield and the
gentleman from Cavendish. It all
came about through the desire Of Mr..
Davis of Springfield for more infornaa-
tion about railroad taxation. He had
asked the gentleman from CavendIsh,
| Mr.. Fletcher, perfectly civil question
regarding the matter at issue and
Mr.. Fletcher smiled. Now Mr.. Fletch-
er has a great variety of smiles. He
has pathetic smile. happy smile, a
smile of calm delight and a smile
heavily laden with contempt. Mr..
Davis mistook the meaning Of the smile
! in question for one of the heavily
laden ones. He Immediately waxed
warm and demanded before the altar
/ of the house that he be given fair
treatment even from the gentleman
| from Cavendish. The other gentleman
! Immediately arose to personal priv
/ ilege and stated that his smile was
addressed to a personal friend of his in
neighboring seat. He admitted that
he smiled but it was only a happy smile.
Then the house smiled one of those
characteristic and pathetic smiles.
Some one Immediately introduced a
resolution to the effect that nothing
which transpIred during the contro-
versy should be so construed as abridg-
ing the right of members to smile.
The resolution was adopted with a
smile.

ments providing for the abclishing of
all offsets AID creating small flat
rate of taxation on intangibles. The
house has killed the offset proposition
! on three separate ard distinct occa-
sions and considering the temper of
the house it will not help the matter
any to have the senate pass them
again. Usually a bill would have some
prestige by having passed the senate
but it is not so this year. Still there
may be hope. The house often changes
its mind and as the day of final ad
journment draws near they may see
this tax problem in it's proper light
and pass it. At any at the senate pro

FOOT AMPUTATED.
Harry Morse Loses Foot as Result of
Trying to Jump Freight on Monday.

While trying to jump freight going
south through here about O'Clock Mon
day, Harry Morse, son of Charles Morse of
this place, slipped, and one foot went
under the trucks, the foot a few inches
above the ankle being nearly severed from
the leg. He was hurried to a physicians 8
Office where the leg was te nporarily
dressed, and he was taken to ST. Johnsbury
on the 4:40 mail, where the leg was ampu-
tated few inches below the knee yester-
day. The operation had TO be deferred on
account of the weak condition of Mr..
Morse. The train was going about 20
miles an hour and Mr.. Morse thought by
''haking'' ride to South Barton, where be
worked for the WilIough hby Wood &
Lumber Co., as he had often done, he
would save a two hours wait for the
mall, which he afterward took on bis way
to Brightlook hospital. Mr.. Morse has a
wife and two children. The accident
should be a lasting lesson to those who
are continually jumping trains between
nearby towns.

The Pratt Lecture.

On account of the schools being closed
ard the bad weather the crowd at
the lecture last evening was not as
large as usual. DR.. Pratt of Cleve-
land, O.. addressed his audience on the
subject, The Size of a Man." which
he treated in all its phases. giving
many laughable illustrations. This
lecture is full of eloquence, wit and
logic and is highly entertaining. The
principal thought seemed to be that
a man should do something; activity
and accomplishment were the watch
words of the address. Dr. Pratt would
be heartily welcomed here in future
courses. The next number of the
course will be the Weber Male Quar-
tette and reader Of Boston. which will
take place on Thursday evening. Feb.
II, instead of February as the pros
pectus states. This company have
filled several lecture course numbers
in this vicinity and all are unanimous
in their praise. They are equal if not
superior to the Schubert Quartette
