Man is Sometimes Queer

Men are queer. Wouldn't there be roar when they went home to their meals if they had to climb up on a high stool in front of table on which there was no cloth and eat their meals in that fashion? Yet the majority of men, when they go to restaurant, will pick out the high stool and the feed board with no cloth on it in preference to comfortable chair with cloth covered table. A man will borrow a chew of tobacco and most of them will set their teeth into the plug where some other man has gnawed off chew. Offer him a piece of pie at home from which his wife or one of the children had taken a bite and he would holler his head off. At home he will not drink out of glass cup from which one of the family has been drink ing Call him into the back stall of livery barn, pull out bottle and he will stick the neck of the bottle half way down his throat in order to get swig, after half dozen fellows have had the neck of the bottle in their mouths. Truly man is queer duck. -Ex- change.

CITY BUYS MORE LAND
Property Adjoining Berlin Pond
Purchased BY City Council, To-
gether With Boating Rights OF
Former Owners-Price Was $4,000.

A deal which has been in pro-
gross of planning for some time was
consummated early yesterday after
noon when the City of Montpelier
purchased of Chauncey G.. and Ella
Poor and S. b. Sibley of Berlin,
land aggregating about so acres, at
total cost of $4,000. Mayor Dawley,
the City Council, and others inter-
ested in the purchase of these lands,
have thus concluded a deal, one of
series, which will, in all probability,
be made from time to time and which
| practically means the end of boating
upon Berlin Pond, the source of the
city water supply. Such procedure
also ensures, finally, the freedom of
the drinking supply from pollution.
BY a recent deal which has not
| been previously announced, the city
| purchased the lots of James NJ.
Boutwell,, and Messrs. Hastings and
Cleaves on the pond. The Sibley
property includes a house, formerly
known as the Bosworth house and
ten acres of land on the brook lead
! ing into the pond. The brook runs
through the land which is partly till
age, partly pasture and the purchase
covers the brook down to the Pike
pasture. The price is $1,5OO.
The Chauncey G. and Ella Poor
deal gives the city 16 boats and the
boating business of Mr.. Poor at
cost of $4,000 and from 80 to 40 acres
of land for $4,000 more. BY the terms
of the transfer, Mr.. Poor will not let
any more boats on the pond. The
land includes all that on the west
side of the road to the Chatfield line
and to the Clark Stewart line on the
south, reserving the temporary use
of two barns opposite Mr.. Poor's
house. On the property there is
large house, barns, creamery and ice
building.
The city thus comes into possess
/ sion of all the cottages on the upper
| side of the road, between the pasture
and the Stewart property, with the
exception of the Blanchard and Tobin
lots. Just what the city will do with
the cottages is not decided, but it is
| intimated they will be disposed of in
time, aiding thus in the elimination
of all possible sources of contamiaa
ton. The State Board of Health in
consultation with Mayor Dawley, has
urged such action on the part of
Montpelier and the council has made
a move which meets with general
favor The property, for which deeds
were passed yesterday, is added to
those lands already held by the city
in the vicinity of the pond and is one
of the features of Mayor Dawley's
| administration.

CAPTURED IN NORTH ADAMS.
Joseph Guidici, Who Escaped From
Jail, Appreciated mt Last.

Chief of Police Faulkner of Barre,
returned Saturday night from North
Adams, Mass, where he went to get
slippery Joe" Guidici the youth who
broke out of the Barre police station
on the morning of November 81
Chief Faulkner got his man at North
Adams and lodged him in the Jail at
Montpelier, where he will be held for
County Court to face trial for grand
larceny and probably for Jail break
ing
The Barre police have had several
traces of Guidici in the past few weeks
and about a week ago Chief Faulkner
received information that the much
wanted man was in North Adams.
He Immediately communicated with
the North Adams police, but received
no reply to his letter. Friday the
chief telephoned them that he was com
ing and luckily the North Adams Of
ficers, G. B. Rosasco and n. J. Walsh
located the man and he was under ar
rest when Chief Faulkner arrived.
Guidici was working in a livery
stable under the name of Thomas
Gray and when arrested, was loafing
in a pool room near the police sta
ton.
Guidici had help in getting out of
the local police station and when he
was faced by the Barre officer, he is
said to have disclosed information
which led to the arrest Saturday af-
ternoon of Frank Goodwin, who is
charged with giving him a bar with
which to free himself. Goodwin will
be given a hearing in City Court on
Tuesday morning.
The North Adams officers acted just
in time for Guidici told Chief Faulk-
ner that he intended leaving North
Adams Saturday for New York and
securing passage for Italy.

POKER JOINT RAIDED.
Alleged Gambling Den and House OF
iii Fame Broken Up.

A corps of six officers raided the
Bolster building on Depot Square
in Barre Saturday night and
arrested Lila Weston and Mary Es-
tabrooks on the charge of keeping a
house of i'll fame and Wallace Cover
on the charge of operating a gamb-
ling joint. The three prisoners were
taken to the police station and locked
up for the night and Sunday morning
the two women were taken to the
county jail for safe keeping until
Monday, when all three will be ar
raigned in City Court.
The officers entered unceremonious-
ly from the front and the rear of the
building and executed a complete sur
prise on the inhabitants. In one room
the men of the law walked in on a
game of poker going in full blast,
there being four players at the table
and other men were standing looking
on. The names of the whole party
were taken down by the officers and
Wallace Cover, who seemed to be the
proprietor of the place, was placed
under arrest. In another part of the
building the two women were found
and they were placed under arrest.
Deputy Sheriff H. J. Slayton was at
the head of the raid and he had war
rants to search the place for liquor
and body writs for the arrest of the
man and the two women. The war
rants were issued by City Attorney J..
Carver. No liquor was found, but the
officers scooped up 4S poker chips and
pack of cards, which were being
used in the poker game The officers
had little trouble in getting the right
names of the men, as most of them
were well known to them The other
officers in the raid besides Deputy
Sheriff Slayton were Deputy Sheriffs
Homer Camp, George l.. Morris and
w. F. Cutler, Constables M. E. Nichols
and Charles T. Southgate and Police
men George earle and Harry Gamble.
This place has been under the eyes
of the authorities for some time and
the most favorable time for the raid
to be pulled off had been planned be-
fore hand.

CALF SKINS CHEAPER.
Price Somewhat Reduced From That
OF Last December.

While the price of all food stuffs
has gone up during the last few
months, the fact is worthy of note,
that byproduct of the meat industry
has gone down within the past
month, namely the calf skin. One of
the members of the firm Of Peck
Brothers, when seen yesterday after
noon, stated to a representative of
the Journal that never in the 35
years that he has been engaged in
buying calf skins, has the price been
so high as last December
At one time calf skins might be
had for 25 cents, but that was in the
days when men, and women too,
preferred heavier material for
their footwear. The price gradually
came up, however, with the increased
use of the calf skin for ladies'
shoes, until the demand for them
was so great that in December, it
was four times that amount. To il
lustrate, certain grade of skin, not
the best, for that sells for something
like $3.50, rose from a gradual in
crease and influenced wholly by the
law of demand, to the highest price
ever offered, 81.
This price fluctuated to the extent
of 20 cents according to the latest
report and the average price is now
so cents for this grade. Even this
though is higher than it has been in
this city for number of years and
is due to the ever increasing demand
for this material for footwear and
possibly to the amount shipped
abroad since the tariff on hides has
been removed.

WEAK SPOT IN LAW.
Rutland Property Owners Apparently
Disregard Order of Health OFFICER
Regarding Fire Escapes.

Rutland, February IA loop
hole in the Vermont statute
dealing with fire escapes on public
buildings and factories in which peo-
pie are employed regularly above the
second floor, whereby the law may be
entirely disregarded, has been discov-
cred by certain owners in this city,
it appears, through legal advisers.
The statute makes no mention of ten
ements and several of these owners,
it is claimed, are planning to remodel
their third floors and fit them up for
domestic purposes. This lets them
out of the legal obligation of placing
fire escapes on the building, it is al
legged.
Some time ago II owners of such
buildings within the business district
of the city were ordered by Health
Officer c, F. Hall to fulfil the require
ments of the law. One or two owners
Immediately submitted plans to the
health officer for his approval, but
the great majority of them apparent
ly have disregarded the order.
