LoNDoN's SENSATION.
The Baggage Of Fortune" will be a Great
Treat to Globe Readers-WIn Begin
In Fridays Issue.

IN Fridays Issue.
THE Baggage of Fortune" which will
begin in the Boston Daily Globe Friday.
May 20, is the story sensation of all Lon
uon, wnere 1t is appearing in the Daily
Mail. The Boston Globe has bought the
New England rights and thus secured a
great treat for its readers. To summa rize
the destinations of this remarkable serial
would be impossible. The principal char
acters are two multimillionaires, who.
having made their fortune in the United
States, transfer the scene of their terrific
financial rivalry to London. They master
the market, but 1t is war to the knife be-
tween them. Seeming advantage comes
to one when his rival is reported to be at
the point Of death. The market is all ex-
element. The financial world is shaken
Then the dying financier sends for his
hated enemy.
The latter is ushered into the presence
of the dying man. What happens then is
the real beginning Of the story Do not
fail to read it. You will say it is the most
startling opening of story you ever read
Whatever baggage you discard, be sure
TO get THE Baggage of Fortune" Begin
1t in the Boston Globe next Friday 1t
will rivet your attention as no story ever
did before.
Another Daily Globe feature of great
interest is the series of letters by Will
liam e. Curtis, the famous traveller and
correspondent. The Globe prints every
day letter from Mr.. Curtis, who is maxi
ing a remarkable tour along the Dalma-
tian coast, and among the strange peoples
of the Balkan states, Asia Minor and
Turkestan.
The Boston Daily Globe is not only a
great newspaper, but is as well an ex-
cellent magazine, filled with stories and
pictures, puzzles and poetry. information
for housekeepers, letters from girls and
women, and something for all, old and
young.

REPORT OF TWO YEARS WORK.
Associated Charities Of 5rattleboro Elk.
pended over 500 for Ad-obIeets Of the
Oruanlzatlon,


Owing to an accident to the secretary
of the Associated Charities OF the Brat
tleboro churches no report of that or
ganlzation was made last year report
for 1908 and 1909 is given herewith:
In 1892 six of the religious societies of
Brattleboro united to form the Associa-
ted Charities of the churches. They were
the Congregational Unitarian, Baptist,
Methodist, Unlversalist and Episcopal
societies, each church electing one dele
gate to represent them on the commit
tee. The idea Of the association was to
aid such cases of distress as did not come
under care of individual churches, though
occasional help has been given members
of the societies. The plan was to assist
people over hard places caused by illness,
slackness Of work or by old age, also
widows with little children. young wo-
men with parents to support, heads OF
families temporarily ill-to prevent such
people from being forced to apply to the
town, thereby hurting their self-respect.
1t Is astonishing how much good can
be done by little fuel, n few groceries
given at the right moment or some
help about clothing. No names of ap-
plicants are ever made public by this COM
mittee, but sometimes applicants them
selves have told with gratitude of the aid
received. This explanation has been
given because there are many newcomers
in town who do not understand the
nature of scope Of the work done. The
report of expenditures follows:

Means for setterIne Normal Schools.

The state board of education held a pro-
longed session at the Van Ness House,
burlington, Friday evening with the prin-
cipals of the normal schools to discuss
ways and means to increase the efficiency
OF these institutions. Gov. C. H. Prouty
and State Superintendent of Education
Mason S. Stone, ex-officio members of
the board, were present
The principal matter discussed was that
of strengthening the teaching force in
the schools, using a part OF the extra ap-
preparation of $500 voted by the legis-
lature at the last session.
1t is likely, said member of the board,
that no further attempt will be made, at
least before the legislature of next fan,
to have one centralized normal school. the
proposition having been defeated in 1908
