E@ building Wheeler Brand and
@24$8j three other men, Howard
Hartley, Jeff Thorne, staff reporters,
and Bill, their much browbeaten I'M
derstudy, were industriously at work.
At one side Of the office diagonally
from the managing EDITORS desk was
n high mahogany desk which backed
against wooden partition which cut
off small room used as a 'morgue,"
the place where newspaper and maya
zine clippings are kept for reference.
Through the partition round hole
about five inches in diameter had been
cut with bandsaw, and on table in
the morgue IL camera had been rested
with the telescope protuberance con-
tanning the lens projecting through the
hole in the partition into a private
mail box directly above the desk. The
door of this box, into which We're
placed letters arriving for the manag-
ing editor during his absence, had
been unlocked. a line Of shoe thread
had been fastened to the door OF the
box and extended down behind the
desk to the floor and across to the
left hand side of Brands desk.

to directing what should be done.

been watching the final preparations
for the strange event that was to occur.

asked. "Is your camera in the right

MRS. ALBERT W, HARDWOOD

Since Infancy.

Mrs. Mary Louisa Sibley Harwood
who passed away on Friday morning,
February 18th, after two days i'll

Mrs Joseph B. Lyman, in Pittsfeld,
\. H., was the widow Of Albert w.
Harwood and the daughter of Simeon
Morse Sibley and Diantha Williams.
his wife. Mrs. Harwood was the ED
est daughter. born May 29th. 1888.
and all her life from infancy was
passed in Bennington. Her mother
died when she was twelve years old.
and though a mere girl, she. shared
with her father the care of the four
younger children. Thus early de-
veloped those traits Of responsibility.
.selflessness and tender consideration
OF others which marked her charac-
ter. She was an apt and eager schol-
ar. and graduated from Mt. Holyoke
in the class of 1860. For a number
of years after her graduation she
was a very successful teacher.
August 18th, 1866 she was united
in marriage with Albert Walworth
Harwood, and removed to Harwood
Place, which was for many years her
homie. Four children were born to
them, Waldo Sibey, who passed away
at Kingston, n. NJ, June 9th last:
Harriet Diantha, now Mrs. Joseph b.
Lyman; Frederick Albert. who died
in infancy, and Simeon Everett, who.
with his family, occupies the old
home.
From the time of her marriage
Mrs. Harwood Unidentified herself
with the Old First Church, the church
home of her husbands family. Of
which she was a devoted member.
In 1903 she moved into town, erecting
cottage on Washington avenue

Sibley of Bennington; by two chill
dren, Mrs. Joseph B. Lyman and S.
Everett Harwood, and by five grand
children.
The large gathering of friends at
the funeral service and the beautiful
tributes of fragrant flowers bespoke
appreciation of one who was deeply
loyal in every relation of life, as
daughter, sister, wife. mother, grand
mother, and friend. Her simple gen
uineness. rare democratic spirit, and
deep kindness made her the friend
of all. This fidelity in her human re.
lationships flowed from life of un.
wavering faith, a faith that marked
her latter years with brave cheer
fulness which triumphed over deep
sorrow.

CRUELTY TO POULTRY.

The day may come yet when poultry
buyers will be arrested for cruelty to
animals for carrying a rooster upside
down from market.
It's just the same as to take a man
by tie legs and stand him on his head.
Wouldn't there be a hubbub If
mother should carry her baby in that
style?
She would be called "a cruel, in
human monster" be sent to an insd-
tuition ana her child be given to
society.
But to the Almighty cruelty is
cruelty, whether to man, beast, fowl
or other living creature, and when he
says BLESSED are the merciful, for
they shall obtain mercy" he does not
mean that if man IS kind to his
child he may go out and kick old Fan,
starve Rover or mistreat Biddy.
A woman boughtsa chicken at mar
ket and when she had carried it up
side down for a block found it was
dead. She rushed back and charged
the dealer with selling her sick fowl.
They were having an awful fuss
when we passed. and our opinion was
at once demanded by the market mas
ter. BY simply pressing out the fowls
tongue we showed the entrance to
the windpipe closed with feed that
had run from the crop when she car.
ried the fowl head down.
That is why fowl struggles to get
a natural position and curls its head
and neck up against its breast when
carried thus
The blood not only rushes to its
head, but it is in danger of strangling.
Think, too, Of carrying a duck in
this manner A Pekin, for instance.
often weighs ten or twelve pounds,
and its short legs aren't made to carry
such a weight.
Pekins are weak and very sensitive
and easily crippled, and think what
torture it must be for them to be car
ried head downward.
Better carry your fowls head up I'M
der your arm or resting In the hollow
of your arm.
In line with this is crowding live
poultry into crates, tying them with
sharp, cutting Irvine, exposing them to
cold, frosty winds on the way to mar
ket, haggling them in killing, scalding
them while yet alive and other prac-
tees that are really barbarous and
not appropriate to our profession Of
Christianity and civilization.
