I Mr.. Sites was more than ordina-
rily eloquent and ornate in his word

with one of his best efforts.
Prof. Clark's speech was a gem in
the purity of its diction and the
brightness of its subject matter. 1t
was the speakers first speech at al
Athenaeum banquet and he won
golden opinions for himself.
Mr.. Underwood. always a master
in postprandial oratory, was at his
best and his speech was one that
added to his high reputation as
witty and fascinating speaker.
Judge Hanbery's speech, splen-
did and unique tribute to the dog,
sparkled with wit and abounded in
pathos. He closed with an extract
from the late Senator Vests great
speech in prosecuting a man who had
killed his neighbours dog. The
speech was delivered with all the
graces of oratory characteristic of
Judge Hanbery.

BARRE TO HAVE PUBLIC EXHI-
BITIoN OF MODERN METHODS
OF KILLING DISEASE GERMS

A movement has been on foot during
the past few months TO get the residents
of this city interested in the destroying
of the disease germs that are responsible
for the sickness and death in this city.
The fact that the greater part of the
sickness and death are traced directly to
the ravages of the disease germ only
gives ample evidence that some action
must be taken to relieve the unfortunate
condition. After slight investigation Of
the different methods and means of OBJ
tanning the results required, few of the
philosophical citizens have spared nei-
Their time nor money to give this subject
a deep and thorough study, and the re.
suit is they are unanimous in recon-
mending "Cabot's Sulpho Napthol" They
find it the most thorough in its effect Of
anything in this line, This information
was secured and obtained for the Barre
Drug company, corner Main and Mer
chant streets, who have all the statistics
gathered in this investigation; also the
guarantee Of the maker, together with
testimonials from hospitals, sanitariums
and people from every part of the coun-
try; also large supply of the goods on
sale. 1t costs nothing to gain informa-
ton, even for your own health.

A romance of the side show, in which
the living skeleton falls in love with
the fat woman. and the bearded lady
falls in love with the skeleton, and the
fat woman falls in love with Sampson,
the strong man, and he is in love with
the bearded lady. The fat lady, not
withstanding the love of the strong man
for the bearded lady, is intent upon
getting him by fair means or foul. The
skeleton has the same contention about
the fat woman, and, in order to win her,
dresses himself up as a gay Bothario
and twangs a banjo outside of her tent,
but is obliged to beat a hasty retreat,
and his fellow curiosities show their
appreciation by throwing missiles in his
direction.
He challenges the strong man to fight
duel with him. The bearded lady
hurls defiance at the fat lady. The skele-
ton knocks out Sampson and the bearded
lady puts the crimps in the fat woman,
who turns the tables on the bearded
lady, fattening her out like a pancake,
and the skeleton keeps his man down
( by placing thousand pound dumbbell
on his chest.
The fat lady is so impressed with the
skeletons prowess and manliness that
she falls into his arms, all his and his
alone. The bearded lady lifts the thou
sand-pound dumhbell from the chest of
the strong man; he jumps for her, takes
her to his arms, whiskers and all. It's
a scream. AT the Dreamland.
