SUCCESSFUL sALEsMEN's SCHOOL
Travelling Representatives of Durham
Brothers Co. Here Last Week.

The annual school of instruction fof
the statesmen of the Durham Brothers
company, which came to close IN
BrattlebOro Saturday, proved, as usual
not only an occasion of interest to the
men who handle the firm S goods ON
the road but an event of social impor'
lance to the many local employees.
Each year the statesmen are called in
early in January for careful instruc'
ton and discussion of the line of sam
pies for the coming season, and the
best methods for increasing their bust
ness. The sessions of the school this
year were exceedingly profitable, with
the result that the statesmen are now
ON their respective territories, full of
enthusiasm and fired with determine
ton to make the coming season the
very best in the history of this pros
porous concern.
Especial attention was given to the
large line of Ball-Band rubber and
wooden footwear, products of the Mis-
hawaka Wooden Mfg. Company of Mis-
hawaka, Indiana; also the Straight Line
brand of light rubbers made by the b.
+. Goodrich Rubber Company of Akron,
O., and the Victor and Reliance rubber
goods, which are the special trademark
brands of Durham Brothers Company.
One of the large contributors to the
success of the school was T.. w. j..
Fink of Mishawaka, sales manager OF
the Mishawaka Wooden Mfg. company,
who was present Thursday and Friday,
A reception and dance was held At
the Brooks House Thursday evening,
which was attended by about l15 peo-
pie, and was a highly enjoyable affair.
Music was furnished by Leitsinger's or
chestra, and refreshments were served.
This gathering was given by the mem
bers of the firm to the statesmen, store
and office employees. each bringing n
guest. The decorations in the dance
hall were particularly attractive, hang
ings of white and green and small ever
green trees being used in profusion.
Several of the trademarks used by Dun
ham Brothers Company were executed
in electrical designs, and added to the
effectiveness of the display.

WANTED, A JUDGE!
Latest Turn of Political Wheel Makes
Vacancy in Municipal Bench.

With the latest whirl of the political
wheel, which has elevated Judge Haskins
from the bench of the Brattleboro munich
pal court to the federal position of post
master of this town, comes the necessity
for selecting another municipal judge. The
matter of selection rests entirely with His
Excellency, Governor John A. Mead. As
Judge Haskins &as not handed in his res
ignation, who his successor will be is a
matter of guesswork and the guessers
have been busy since Monday afternoon
when it became known that Judge Has
1ins was to be postmaster.
William r. Daley, with Colonel Has
kins, was one of the men who lifted hard
when the Mead machine was badly mired
and he is willing to accept the ermlne
when it falls from the shoulders of Judge
Haskns The friends of States Attorney
Frank e. Barber suggest that Mr. Barber
resign his county job and seek the Judge
ship Mr.. Barber would accept the Judge
ship but he isn't resigning until he sees
blue print of the situation Just as 1t ex-
lists. Myron p. Davis would accept the
Job but he thinks that his legal residence
in Guilford would work against him. Then
he doesn't credit himself with being what
was known in the fall of 1910 as Mead
man. Clarence M. Miller is mentioned as
sibie to discuss any political office without
bringing in the name of Il. w. Gibson he
has been looked at by Others who aspire
to Judge Haskinss berth.
Mr.. Gibson, who has been confined to
his home with grip for a number of days,
offers no suggestions and makes no guesses,
but his friends are inclined to think that
the subtle element of political expediency
may include him in the reckoning before
Governor Mead issues commission in the
Brattleboro judgeship. If Judge Haskins
has an opinion regarding who his successor
may be he has not publicly. expressed it.
1t is conceded that his opinion will prove
of weight when the governor takes up the
matter.
Late this morning Hermon E. Eddy
announced his candidacy for the judge
ship, making six that have been men
toned already.

That HEDGEHOG Bounty.

Said the hunter to the town clerk, 81

and all went smoothly until the hunter
was appraised of the necessity, according
to the united wisdom of our 276 lawmak.
ers, that the ears of the animals should
be cut off. Then search was begun for
the ears. Certainly there were none pro
jecting above the quilts which are rather
disagreeable to handle, and no ears showed
down among the fur. Said the hunter,
''The ears must have been back on the
body; / cut off their heads too close "
Said the clerk, Lets make stricter
search" Said the hunter, Here is a
little ridge; maybe it's horn, but |
guess it's an ear" So it was decided
that the slight projection buried out OF
sight among the quilts was the ear. And
how to cut it off! No use trying an axe;
he would be sure to cut his fingers using
knife and the ear could not be reached
with scissors. The most suitable tools
seemed to be chisel and mallet. 'Now
you must bury the heads" says the clerk.
And as the hunter Clipped out hole in
the frozen ground, he muttered "Wonder
why they don't make us bury the heads
below the frost line, and set up the ears
for monuments. Londonderry Sitter.

to Clara Novello, the famous operate so

trills and shakes, and avowed that at ar
oratorio he "only wished the thing was
done" Yet he admired Clara Novelties
art, and the poerl is regarded as one oil
the most authentic of the many tributes
which her person ility and her singing re
ceived.
