Number One.

One. " said one of troop of boys at
the end of bridge, some wan ting to
go one way and some another.
That's you, out and out" cried
one of his companions. You don t
think or care about any one but
yourself, you ought to be cal ed
Number One" IF | did not take
care of Number One, who would,
should like to know" cried be?
True, Number One was right. He
ought to take care OF himself-Good
care.
But does not that smack a little
of selfshness?'' the boys ask Num-
Der One thinks OF nobody but him
SELF"
Nobody but himself! that certainly
is selfish, and therefore wrong. Yet
Number One is committed to our
own care. What sort of care is the
a'l-important question.
/! Take care of his habits. Make Mum
Der One industrious, perseveriDg,
selfdenying and frugal. Give him
plenty OF good, healthy work to do,
teach him how best to do it, and keep
him from lounging and idle company.
Take care OF the lips of Number
One. Let truth dwell on them. Put
bride in his mouth that no angry
! backbiting tale shall come from it.
Let no profane or impure word es-
cape. Let the law OF kindness rule
his tongue and all his conversation
be such as becomes child OF God.

Lets Obey The Bird Laws.

While up last week Writ Thomp-
son asked us to say something inn
pressing upon the people the great
economic advantages of preserving
the birds which render the ffrmer
Invaluable service by feeding upon
the various insects that DESTROY
plant life. Writ has a forty acre
field he tells US in which roam bunch
of cartridges tame as chickens. He
feeds them from his hand. He reads
the various bulletins which the gov
eminent sends out showing the i'm
mense good bird kind do in the de-
struction of boil weevil, potato bugs
eCc. The Audubon societies have
done admirable work in getting suit
able protective statutes for the birds
written on our law books, and like
Writ, we want o urge our people to
obey them and create d healthy SEN
timent to that effect.
The job of transcribing that part
of the records of Greene County APP
pertaining to George County. has at
last been completed. Mr. NJ e. Coch-
ran, the COZ tractor. and his clerical
man, Mr.. j. B. Chrisman, packed up
their books and book writing ma
chimes last Saturday and departed
for Lucedale. where they were to
leave the records and go from there
down to Scranton to perform that
part of the contract which relates
to Jackson County. Mr., Chrisman
is lawyer hailing from Hazehurst
and has enjoyed lucretative prac-
tice which he has had to give up ac-
count his hearing becoming impaired
and he will go to California later in
the year to try the atmosphere for
the same.

ment, it is expected that the plans Ior
the building will be substantially the
same as those submitted fol. approval
or suggestion. The second floor plans
were not included in the sketches sub.
mitted to Postmaster Haskins as that
floor will be devoted to federal court
uses and the officials who are to be

operation OF the institution compared
with other hospitals in towns OF this size;
She points out that the two large items OF
expense are salaries and fuel. Regarding
the matter OF salaries Miss McCloskey
said that the scale was made before she
became superintendent and that she could
only follow it. While she acknowledged
that the wages paid the employees OF the
Memorial hospital are considerably larger
than in nearly all other similar instl,
buttons in New England she SAID 1t had
resulted in securing competent servants.
Referring to the matter OF fuel the super.
intendent said that owing to. the tact that
the institution is spread over a large
amount OF ground il required two heating
plants and larger force OF men to care
! for the apparatus. She said that during
| her term as superintendent she had been
able to reduce the expense OF the CUM,
ary department nearly 81 800 a year and
yet in no way had she reduced the amount
of nutritious food demanded.
| While she stated that she was IN no
wav offended by the criticism made by
those without a knowledge of the situa'
ton, she felt it duty to explain briefly
that this hospital is bound to cost more
to maintain than many other instltu-
lions in this part of the country from the
fact that the directors have insisted upon
the highest standard being maintained IN
every department. Miss McCloskey said
that she leaves it with the firm belief that
it is as the directors ordered her to make
it, Miss McCloskey leaves Monday for
San Francisco from which city she VIII
sail Feb, %, on the steamship Man
churian. for Manila to assume her duties
of superintendent of the Manila General
hospital and to be actively identified with
the work Of the leper colony near that
city. Miss Celeste Genin, superintendent
OF nurses, who has resigned her position,
accompanies Miss McCloskey and will hold
an executive position under her.

NOBODY WAS TO BLAME.
Report of Public Service Commission
ON Marrow Gauge" Accident.

The public service commission has issued
the following report of its investigation
of the accident that occurred on the West
River road, Nov. 20, 1910:
A public investigation as to the cause
of this accident, held at Brattleboro on
Jan. p, 1911, revealed the following
On Nov. 30, 1910, the regular south
bound mixed train, No. 50, on the West
River branch of the Central Vermont
railway, consisted of locomotive, six
freight cars, and a coordination passenger
and baggage car in the rear. At about
3.l5 D. m. on that day, while the. train
was going at speed of about 10 miles. an
hour as the rear trucks of that comblna'
ton car were at the south end Of a
planked farm crossing about one and one,
half miles south of Williamsville, and
near the south end OF curve at tina
place, those rear trucks suddenly
climbed" the outside rail of the curve,
thereby derailing the whole car, throwing
the rear thereof down a 20-foot embank,,
ment but without uncoupling the forward
end. which remained attached to the train
when il was quickly stopped by the auto
matte action OF the air brakes. No one was
killed or hurt except the following named
passengers. who suffered the slight IN
juries that are indicated
DIR. T. w. Gage, West Brattleboro; vet
Urinary surgeon, left leg bruised; Judge
A. +, Schwenk, Brattleboro ankle bruis'
ed: Mrs. Mary Golf. Bratteboro, finger
broken. forehead bruised; Hazel Con
hip bruised slightly; Mrs. G. A.; Nichols
Newfane. shoulder bruised j. l.. Stock
well, merchant, West Brattleboro, fore
finger broken.
This is the first derailment that has oc,
Cured on this branch for long. time, and
no one seems able to be sure OF its exact
cause. We are satisfied that there was nc
trouble with the track, or roadbed. which
were both in good condition. We feel sure
that the derailment was caused by some
obstacle near the rail, and the evidence
points to the probability that such obsta
Gle was a broken brake shoe which dropped
from the rear trucks Of the passenger car
and lodged between the rail and the
planking Of the crossing.
This passenger car is daily twice care
that the derailment was caused by some
petent car Inspector, and was so inspected
in the morning of the day of the accident
and the section of the road where the &C
cidept occurred is usually inspected daily
and was so inspected by the section, fore
man on the day of the accident, and pre-
vious thereto.
On the whole, we are unable to imput'
the blame to any one. 49,

Brattleboro for defrauding the town out
Of $4,000 in taxes.
John Calvin tried TO stem the tide
which was plainly setting in against the
town officials, as was evidenced by the
applause which had greeted Mr.; Fits
closing words. Mr.. Calvin said that Mr..
Fits had made a plausible statement
but he assured the voters that the sc.
lectmen had evidence which they could
not disclose at that time. He said; Eve
won't disclose it and don't you forget it,
No one asked the sslectmen to disclose
what they had up their sleeve and Martin
Austin offered the opinion that the people
were tired of listening to what retained
lawyers had to say. His remarks fired
the crowd, especially when he said that
the people of the town ought to settle
some questions without the assistance OF

disapproval upon the sclectmen's action

George l.. Durham asked for a moment
to say word in the matter Mr.; Dnnham
said that to press this suit would be the
1.-The most co.d.blooded proposition that
he ever heard of. The only bit OF pleas
antry Of the evening came when Il. w.
Gibson agreed with Mr.. Austin that the
people had become tired of listening 70
lawyers. c. A. Boyden said that lawsuits
were not wanted by the voters and that
we could not afford to antagonize the

A. Richmond said that it was unfair to
criticise the town officials. He INDUCED
I in a socialistc speech OF about a minute
IN length and ended by hoping that the
Barber amendment to the Kane resolution
would prevail, but the amendment was
lost in a torrent of noes and a few seconds
later the Kaine resolution had prevailed
by a still stronger yes roar IRON the
Threats Of hundreds OF voters.
After the result was formally announced
Chairman John Calvin attempted to &C.
cure recognition, but Colonel Hasklns sec
oned the motion made by someone else
TO adjourn and Mr.. Calvin was unable
to make himself heard. By those about
him he was beard to remark, IN all
done" repeating it number OF times
The rumor spread Immediately that Mr.,
Calvin had resigned and candidates ior
his Job became as thick as snowiiakes

FIRST TYPEWRITER.
Il Was Clumsy Machine and Prae'
ticaIIy Useless.

Il Was a Clumsy Machine and Prae.
tieaIIy Useless.
Most persons will be surprised to
learn that the typewritlng machine is
not, as they imagine, a distinctly mod
ern invention. So long ago as TIA a
patent was taken out III England by
Henry Mill for "a machine for i'm
pressing letters singly and progressive
ly as in writing, whereby all writings
may be engrossed in paper so exact as
not to be distinguished from print"
His machine was, however, clumsy
one and practically useless. 1t was
not until over a century later $500
that anything more in this line was
attempted. Then the first American
typewriter, called a "typographer," was
patented by w. A. Burt.
In 1923 a machine was produced In
France having separate key lever
for each letter, and between the years
1910 ana 1860 Sir Charles Milestone
invented several machines which are
now preserved in the South Kensing-
ton museum, London.
In 1873 C. L. Sholes, an American,
after five or six years work, succeed
ed in producing machine sufficiently
perfect TO warrant extensive manu-
facture. He interested firm Of gun
manufacturers in 1t, and in 1874 the
first model of the modern typewriter
was put upon the market.-Cincinnatt
