BEST WAY TO GET GOOD REST
Wear Clothing as Loose as Possible
and Lie Flat on the Back
With Feet Up.

Too much is preached about exer
cising, and too little about resting
Few women know the value Of rest
ing or how to get the most out Of a
free half-hour. II can do wonders
toward pulling up" a tired body and
mind, but It must be thorough. While
lying fiat on the back with the feet
up, and, most important OF all-loose
clothing, blood is being manufactured
twice as rapidly as in any other posi-
ton, and the process of restoration"
is going on In the body with the great
est possible speed Boots should be
removed, and loose slippers donned,
and It is a great help If fresh stock
ings are put on. There is tendency
to feel chilly when tired person first
lies down, and II the body is called
upon to make extra effort toward heat
ing itself (Which It very obligingly
will do, the resting" is not complete.
Hence the necessity for throwing
covering over you, even Il resting In
warm room. The words of man,
curiously enough, recur to me on this
subject. Mr.. Seymour Hicks, whose
youthful appearance is one Of his
causes for fame, says he likes TO de-
vote the time between five and six
o'clock to resting. When he can do
that, no matter how tired he is, or
how trying has been the day, he goes
to his evenings work quite refreshed.
But" says this jolly actor, 1T must
be really rest l take of my clothing,
don pyjamas, pull down the blinds
get into bed, and imagine l am retir-
ing for the night. A ha!.-hour OF rest
under these conditions is worth more
than half-a-day's less thorough sizes
ia" Negligee garments are restful in
themselves, and no woman who values
her good looks will fail to form the
habit of exchanging street clothes for
dainty and attractive house gowns.

Interesting Talk in Baptist Church.

Threatening weather prevented hold
ing the regular Sunday afternoon open
air meeting on the common, but the Bap-
fist church was nearly filled with a
thoroughly appreciative audience to lis
ten to Z. C. Mercer of New York City,
who is devoting his life to evangelistic
work among college men. The story OF
his spectacular college career and his
falling into evil ways through the use
of LIQUOR, when told by himself, was
vivid. He told of his conversion in the
famous Water street mission Of New
York, and explained that upon the an
niversary of each person s conversion
the convert was allowed to take charge
of the meeting and relate his expert
ences. Upon the anniversary of Mr..
MERGERS entering the mission he told
to his audience his experience as col
leg man who had spent over 100000 of
his father s money and was "down and
out, - ready to die, when he was
snatched from the very brink of despair
by those in charge of the Water street
mission. In the audience that listened
to Mr.. Mercer that anniversary night
was a New York Herald reporter, and
the next day that Journal contained a
thrilling story of dissOlute man, who,
after spending fortune in college. fell
by the wayside and was a specimen of
the lowest type of humanity when saved
by the mission workers. The story was
illustrated by snapshot of Mr.. Mercer.
After Mr.. Mercer had brought dis

STRICKEN WHILE FISHING.
Charles F. MacKnight Victim Of Heart
Trouble at Marlboro Monday.

Charles Franklin MacKnight, 81, died
suddenly Monday afternoon while hshlng
an a small stream about two miles from
Marlboro village. DR.. ii. p Greene, who
was summoned from Brattleboro, stated
that death was probably due to heart dis
ease. Mr.. MacKnight was accompanied
on his fishing trip by George Harrington
of Brattleboro They left tins town about
10 O'Clock Monday morning and had been
fishing only about an hour when Mr. Mac
Knight was stricken. He had suggested TO
his companion that they ought to iish last
er or they would not have time TO cover
the entire stream as they wished. Mr.
Harrington left the stream to attend to
the horse which they had driven up from
Brattleboro to Marlboro and when he re-
turned to the brook he was unable to To-
cate Mr.. MacKnight by calling. Wonder
ing what prevented his companion from re-
turning the call Mr.. Harrington walked
along the brook for short distance and
came upon Mr.. MacKnight lying on the
hank OF the stream. his body resting at
right angles with the brook His feet
were at least three feet away from the
water and Mr.. Harrington saw at once
that his companion was not reclining In a
natural position. He investigated and
found that Mr.. Macknight was dead. MT
Harrington at once notlfed Henry w dlleh
health officer. and DR.. Greene was sent
for. No inquest was deemed necessary as
the position of the body showed plainly
that Mr.. MacKnight had evidently been
stricken with heart disease and fallen upon
his back. He had not been out of sight of
Mr.. harrington over 10 minutes. Moran
& Co.. undertakers. of Brattleboro were
notified and brought the body to Mr.. Mac
Knights home on Canal street
Mr.. MacKnight was born il, East Wal
lingford. VT. Oct. 9, 1878, and was son
of August and Harriet Mcknight. At
about is years old he went to keene, n.

cabinetmaker by trade and had been EN-,
ployed by the Estey organ company most
of the time since he came to Brat tleboro

grace upon his family his father bade
him leave home and disowned him. The
father was one of the readers of that
issue of the New York Herald contain
ing the thrilling story of Mercer being
saved. He lived in Savannah, Ca, and
was a prominent attorney 1t took but
few hours to bring father and son to-
gether. This story, when told by Mr..
Mercer and emphasized with the pathos
which inevitably goes with that phase
of underworld life, held the attention of
the audience, and Mr.. Mercer was fol-
lowed closely during his entire remarks.
While he was speaking he casually re-
marked that he was nephew of a for
mer president of the United States, and
in his days as a college youth had ac-
cess to the White House. At the close
of his remarks he was asked to which
president he referred and said to Presi-
dent Arthur. A choice musical program
was given by the Brown university
quartet, which is spending a week at
the Northfield conference.

B. & M. HAS HOPE.
Attorney Thinks Matters May BIZ
Adjusted Before September.

The hope that negotiations now in prog.
ress between officials of the New York,
New Haven x Hartford and Grand Trunk
railroads will result in an agreement where
bv the Boston x Maine. controlled by the
New Haven. may obtain its desired facili-
ties on the Vermont side OF the Connec-
ticut River, along the lower part OF the
Vermont New Hampshire boundary by a
traffic arrangement with the Central Yer
mont, controlled by the Grand Trunk, was
expressed by Oliver +. Branch. counsel for
the New Haven road, in the supreme court
at Concord y. H., Saturday. Mr.. Branch
appeared in connection with the petition
Of the Sullivan County Railroad, under
lease to the Boston & Maine for permis
sion to extend its lines through the towns
OF Cornish and Plainfeld, n H., so as to
connect the portions of the Boston x Maine
system at Lebanon and Cornish by link
on the New Hampshire side of the river,
After Mr.. Branch had explained the status
of the negotiations, action on the petition
was postponed until the September term
of court.
Mr. Branch said that if the proposed
agreement were effected il would be I'M
necessary for the Boston 4 Maine to con
struct either this link or the proposed ex-
tension along the Connecticut River on the
New Hampshire side from lilnsdale, on the
Massachusetts boundary, to Walpole, OPP
posite Bellows Falls, VT He said that 1t
was quite possible that this arrangement
would be completed before the September
sitting of court.
The safety and convenience of the public,
Mr.. Branch said. demanded that there
should be at least two tracks up the Con
necticut Valley to care for the Central Yer
mont and Boston & Maine traffic, and be-
cause of physical conditions, if there were
to be two tracks on the Vermont side of
the river it must be by consent of the
Central Vermont. He said that the New
Haven preferred such an arrangement, but
if it could not be made it would be impera-
tive for the New Haven to have a track
on the New Hampshire side.
