the boy scout movement in Barre, is now
boys work secretary of the Tampa
Fla. Y. M. c. A., an association with
fine new five-story building of its
own and membership of over 500 The
Tampa Times of Nov. says of Mr.
Charles and his work
"Under the direction of R. J Charles,
the new boys work secretary, many
new plans have been outlined for the
coming year. Many of these are still in
the formative stage One of the new
features inaugurated by Director Charles
has been the boy government. This is
managed by boys council, of which
Byron Bushnan is chairman, and which
is composed of representative boys from
the three different groups in the de-
partment. This feature has taken hold
with the boys in great shape and they
are showing great interest in the work.
This will be developed more extensively
during the year. The boy scout move
ment, which Mr. Charles will inaugurate
a little later in the year, and in which
there has already been evineed a great
deal of interest among the boys them
selves as well as among the older people,
is another new feature"

Mr.. Poor was born in Berlin 81 years

a young man. For his first wife he
married Miss Dickey of Orange, who
died about 35 years ago. BY this mar
riage there was one son, Gardner Poor
OF Barre. who survives. For his second
wife, Mr.. Poor married Hattie, daugh-
ter Of the late Lyman A. Work, who
survives him with five children, Fred

TWO ONLY IN HARDWICK
All Necessary Precautions Taken to Pre-
vent Spread Of Disease-Schools
and Churches Closed in
Morrisville.

Morrisville, Nov ls.--While the health
officials are taking all proper precautions
that there shall be no spread Of small
pox in this section, there are in fact
only few cases in this part Of the
state--two in Hardwick, one in East
Hardwick, one in Morrsyille, one in
Eden and few scattering cases in
Walden and Greensboro To make sure
that there shall be no further spread of
the disease in this town, the schools
and churches have been ordered closed
two weeks by the state board OF health,
the same as In Walden and Hardwick
This action was taken because Miss
Hazel Pope of Greensboro, who has been
attending school here, is troubled vita
an eruption on the face, which some
people thought was smallpox, but which
the physicians declare is not, and that
she has no symptoms of the disease.
TO allay local fear, however, she has
been fumigated and sent home.
The case in Eden is that of Mrs.
George Ellsworth
Miss Hazel Silver, who lives in Crafts
bury and came here visiting, developed
smallpox and exposed few people, but
she has recovered and gone home and
the house where she stopped has been
fumigated and cleaned She caught the
disease from her brother, who was sick
a few days with what they said was
chicken pox. He is recovered and has re-
turned 10 his class in y. v. NJ medical
school. One Of the people Miss Silver
visited in this place was Mrs. Jennie
Slayton on Maple street, about one-half
mile ont OF the village She was taken
sick with cold and called physician.
who treated her, and she was recovering
from that when she came down with
smallpox. But she has seen only her
immediate family and few of these have
been exposed.

JUDGE BEN B. LINDSEY
"MISF0RTUNES OF MICKEY"
Head of Denver's Juvenile Court Holds
Close Attention of Large Audience
Nearly Two Hours at
Opera House

Ben B. Lindsey, the "iust Judge" of
Denver's juvenile court. held the un-
divided attention Of a good sized audi
enee for nearly two hours at The opera
house last evening when he gave his
notable lecture, on "The Misfortunes of
Mickey" in the second Of series of
lectures and entertainments TO be given
tlis winter under the auspices OF the
Barre Civic federation. AS was to be
expected Judge Lindsey's remarks had
to do with the magnificent work Of
the juvenile court in Denver during the
past few years The speaker gained
a ready hearing in the very preface of
his remarks, and the nationwide repu-
tation which preceded the Judge was sub
stantally sustained last evening. In
spite Of the fact that much deserved
publicity has been given Judge Lindsey
for the wonderful results he has at
tanned III his practical dealings with citi-
zens Of "Boyville.7 the speakers de-
scription OF the manner in which such
gratifying changes have been brought
about threw a new light on serious ques-
tions Of handling mischievous boys, who
are not naturally criminal.
The Judge placed special emphasis on
the necessity Of understanding the boy
and said that, first Of all, we must
start on the working principle that much
can be learned from children. He urged
the extension Of public play grounds,
peiohborhood houses and social settle-
ments. The playground, he said, means
more to the city than the jail. The
old idea that property rights should be
the essential consideration has given
way to broader doctrine that the pres
ervation Of human rights will, in turn,
exert a corrective influence on the
usurpation Of property rights. The new
gospel Of boy government recognizes a
distinction between bad thing and a
boy
In securing Judge Lindsey as a part
of its lecture course, the women of the
Civic federation are to be congratulated
upon presenting man whose views on
a vital question are recognized and eom-
mended the world over, and the gem
eral satisfaction expressed last evening
auoitrs wen for future lectures and en-
tertainments to be given by the fed
Grafton "The Festival Artists" appear
in the opera house December p under
the same auspices.

response to request for statement.
When he was told that the question

keen desire for information, he smiled
and replied 81 am sorry, but I have
absolutely nothing to say on that sub
ject."
