HIGH OLD TINES.
Annual First Ward Ball a Howling
Success.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Despite the OPP
position of press and pulpit, the no.
torious First Ward Ball was held in
the Coliseum building at midnight,
last night, and according to "Hinky
Dink" McKenna and "Bathhouse
John" Coughlin, the chief sponsors,
the affair was a bowling success.
Fully 1900 denizens of the under
world pirouetted and cavorted in the
dizzy whirl of this mornings may
dance, or sat in the boxes drinking
"fizz" water. Wine, women and dance
are the three factors essential to the
success of the First Ward function,
and all three were very much in evil
dence during the early hours this
morning.
A shapely Queen of the May, in a
scanty gown of gauze and wreath
of real pink roses, kicked holes in
the atmosphere and in the brand new
silk tiles of the ward politicians, sa-
loon keepers and ambitious john
MES who fiocked about her, each one
anxious that his hat should be the
next to be ruined by her pointed pink
sandals.
Zouaves, male and female, Prin-
cess Charming in silken hose and
satin doublets, and princesses more
charming in anything they chose to
wear formed a picturesque set of
lanciers, which was gracefully dig
nified at midnight and uproariously
undignifed a few hours later, after
the Ammunition of de Bathhouse" to
"get soused early" had been rigor-
ously adhered to.

The Moods of Musicians.

Before the moods Of genius the
world must ever bow In awe. for is il
not 10 the hayward wanderings from

The gloomy moods Of Beethoven are
traditional. but every time they en-
wrapped his spirit there flowed from
his pen the most noble of scores.
Turning to Schubert. we find that il
was in the gay moods of the German
inn that his genius worked. Under
their sway the "Serenade" and many
other immortal themes were penned
on tavern table, any scraps of paper
being used that came to hand. Pa

GOOD IN SPIDERS.
They Don't Bite and Do Kill Many In
inrinnc lnSarfe


furious Insects.
i think it can be said that there
never has been one absolutely authen-
tic case Of spider bite. The so called
spider bites received occasionally. and
generally in early summer. often in
bed. are inflicted by certain blood
sucking insects of several species.
large and small The mandibles of
the average sized spiders are hardly
powerful enough to pierce the human
skin. and all of the poison contained
in an arachnid's glands injected into
the flesh of a human bling will not
make as much fuss as a respectable
bee sting. Moreover. spiders are not
mammal bloodsuckers and wouldn't
bite If they could. So much for the
negative qualities of spiders.
If it were not for the spiders we
should all promptly starve to death.
Perhaps this is little startling; it is
none the less true. TO enlarge upon
it. certain spiders prey upon certain
caterpillars. regularly inhabit their
abodes and kill so many Of them that
often whole colonies Of the insects are
wiped out of existence. These cater
pillars normally feed upon the leaves
of trees, bushes and shrubs. frequent

were plentiful enough to exhaust their
common food they would turn to the
weeds and grasses. Without check of
any kind they would overrun the
earth and destroy every green and
growing thing. The spiders beauti-
fully preserve the balance Of nature

Boston, Mass, Dec. 1.-THE fight
on the license question was the most
prominent issue in fifteen Massa-
chusetts cities where elections were
held today, but there were only two
changes from last years vote on the
subject. The big city of Worcester,
after year of drought, voted in fav-
or of license today by majority of
1920, while Salem returned to the
mo" column after allowing saloons
for twelve months.
for election this year, eight of them
were successful, viz: Beverly, Ever
EFT, Lynn, Holyoke, Melrose, Somer-
vile, Newton and Worcester. Police
man George II. Brown, who has pre-
sided over the destinies of that city
during the year, was defeated by
John Meehan, democrat, by about
500 votes. Mayor John H. Hurley,
the cooked hat chief magistrate of
Salem was beaten by Arthur Howard
making his record to date, four vic
tories and six defeats.
DR.. Fletcher, Republican, was ell
ected over Mayor Fuller, Democrat,
CT Chicopee.
In Maiden, George H. Fall, candi-
dadate during he past five years, won
a victory in four cornered contest.
In Newburyport Robert F. Burke
was the successful one of the cand-
dates out of five, while in Woburn,
ex-Mayor Hugh l.. Murray, Democrat,
who was beaten last year by ten
votes was successful at the poles to-
day.
Women suffragists furnished an in

the city it's first case of active suffra-

AS he expects that his people will
sometime need military leaders, he
came East and entered Norwich
University in the fall of 1908. He took
his place in the sophomore class,
was a good student, alert in his mil
itary duties, active in athletics and
popular with the students But he
was not allowed to remain and in
the spring he was dismissed He was
not expelled. There was nothing in
his conduct to warrant expulsion,
but he was requested to leave. He
desired to remain, but the authori-
ties would not permit it, and again
he left an institution of learning, it
is supposed, at the behest, of the
British Government.

Bradstreet's Vermont Trade Report.

Reports to Bradstreet's for the
week speak well of existing condi-
lions among manufacturing interests
with the exception of one or two
Ines of trade. That labor is gener-
ally well employed indicates that the
retail merchants will benefit by
same not only for the immediate
present but with the coming of spring
business. The substantial gains made
among various lines of manufacture
ing are encouraging. Collections are
uneven, certain lines report prompt
ness while others indicate a slow
ness and pressure is being brought
to bear to keep them up. Early holi-
day trade reports show that trade is
better than year ago although
! there is not the snap to it that is ex-
perienced during the two weeks pre-
vious to Christmas. The early buying
movement, however, is gradually be-
coming apparent. Not enough snow
has fallen to give best opportunities
or results. Certain towns in the
northern part of the State have had
snow for sleighing but not enough
for numbering operations. Plans have
been made among lumbermen for
about an average cut for the season,
although the demand has shown no
marked increase. Orders in that line
are coming slowly and for immedi-
ate demands only. Monumental bust
generally noted. Manufacturers in
marble are cutting down the force of
employed, Marble for building work
still holds good The granite situation
remains unchanged. Among failure
reports for the week is one bank
ruptcy and an offer for compromise.
Burlington retail merchants re-
port that cool weather has had a
beneficial effect upon early holiday
trade. Wholesale confectionery firms
note large demand, hardware, sad
dlery goods and kindred lines a rea-
sonably good trade for the period but
not as lively as anticipated.
Rutland manufacturing interests
report labor well employed and
the general outlook for holiday trade
better than year ago. A fall of
snow would materially benefit trade.
Reports from st. Adams note labor
is well employed and holiday trade
fully up to the period. Collections
are more or less uneven.
st. Johnsbury merchants report
winter goods moving slowly but with
a fall of snow this trade will i'm
prove. Industries in all lines are re-
ported as doing good business.
while collections are fair.
Barre retail merchants report
present trade is light owing to con-
ditions surrounding the granite bust
ness. Conservatism prevails in buy
ing for the future.
reports from manufacturing inter-
ests at Montpelier aside from gran
ite,show liberal supply of orders and

is not up to the period.

encouraging.
At Brattleboro, the organ factories
are very busy, all manufacturing in

general retail trade is better than a
year ago.
