What Bradstreet Says

Reports to Bradstreet's for the week
state that labor is reasonably we'll en-
poyed and in certain lines an increase
in number employed is reported. Lum-
Der manufacturers report an increase in
the demand for building material. The
stocks on hand are less than is usual for
this time of the year, while dealers re-
port there has been some delay in OBJ.
tanning logs from northern points owing
to an alleged shortage of cars. The out
look for demand for building material
is considered better than usual. Veneer
manufacturers report an increase de-
mand for their product and in some in
stances orders have been refused by
reason of inability to fill them in time.
Furniture manufacturers report an in
creased demand and the outlook for
further business is considered good.
Manufacturers of garments and overalls
note there has been some improvement
in the volume of business. Considerable
damage was done to merchandise owned
by merchants at Barre and Montpelier,
during the early part of the past week
by reason of high water. The damage
in this line is reported worse than they
have experienced for years. The reports
from farmers who own maple orchards
state the run of sap during the past
week has been large. The outlook is
for a good yield in that line and prices
are fully as large as usual. The season
is not over and it is expected there will
be further sugar and syrup made. Farm
ers report scarcity of potatoes and the
merchants complain of inability TO OBJ
tain al they require for the trade, with
the result that prices ave higher than
usual. Reports from diaries Indicate an
increase in receipts of milk and cream;
wholesale merchants note volumes OF
trade is about normal for the period.
Retail business has shown an increase,
buying having started in stronger than
usual. Several warm days have tended
to aid trade. One mercantile bank
ruptcy is reported for the week.

Madrid takes its place along with
the most active of 'em.Last week
tremendous stir over the reported
death of Pope Plus 4, which emana-
ted from the news factory in Ma
drid, came with all the more
startling force because it was
known that the pope had been in
his usual health and receiving
audiences right up to the day of
his supposed death. The Vatican
would do kind service to
the newspaper-reading world by
hunting for the originator of the
fake.

Why ?

In looking over the files of this
paper we find in past years that
Island Pond was represented by
one of the fastest ball teams III
Northern Vermont. What's the
reason that it can't be done again.
There is no better way of advertls-
ing any town than by a fast ball
team. This town will certainly
support a team and there IS a
wealth of material here, so if lit
tie get-up-and-get is spread
around, baseball can be had the
coming season.

CHAPTER VII.
A Mixed Pickle.

Mrs. Whitcomb had almost blushed
when she had murmured to Lieuten-
ant Hudson:
Il should think the young couple
would have preferred a stateroom."
And Mr.. Hudson had fiinched lit
tie as he explained
Eyes, of course. We tried to get it,
but it was gone"
1t was during the excitement over
the decoration of the bridal section,
that the stateroom-tenants slipped in
unobserved.
First came fiuttering woman
whose youthful beauty had a certain
hue Of experience, saddening and
wisering. The porter brought her in
from the station-platform, led her to
the stateroom's concave door and
passed in with her luggage. But she
fingered without, a Peri at the gate
of Paradise. When the porter re-
turned to bow her in, she shivered and
hesitated, and then demanded:
"Oh, porter, are you sure there's no
body else in there?"
The porter chuckled, but HUNDRED

under the seat?"
To his dismay, she nodded her head
violently. He rolled his eyes in won
derment, but returned to the state
room, made pretense of examination,
and came back with face full of re-
assurance. "No'm, they's nobody
there. Take a mighty small-size bur-
glar to squeeze unda that bald-er-
berth. Nom, nobody there"
"Oh!"
The gasp was SO equivocal that he
made bold to ask
rs you pleased or disappointed"
The mysterious young woman was
too much agitated to rebuke the impu-
dence. She merely sighed: ooh, por-
ter, I'm so anxious"
I'm not-now," he muttered, for
she handed him a coin.
Porter, have you seen anybody on
board that looks suspicious?"
"Evvabody looks suspicious to me,

was the youngest and most mischiev-

again, and vowed to protect this timid
little wife to come from too much hi
larity at the hands of the conspirators.

Love In The Home

Don't worry so much about getting
nice furniture as about making hap
piness for your husband, because the
finest ornament of home is love-"
That is what mother wrote to her
only daughter, who had gotten mar
ried and gone away to another state to
reside.
1t was wise advice. Some women
are wild to have their house beautiful,
but they take little pains to have it an
abode of affection. They desire velvet
carpets, lace curtains. oil paintings,
and other costly decorations, but they
forget that prisons might have these
things and still be prisons, but that
where love is, there Is heaven. And
every home should be heaven on earth.

or a good cry--according TO their ma
lures.
Here were Mallory and Marjorie,
still merely engaged, bitterly regret
ting their inability to get married and
to continue their journey together.
There in the car were the giggling
conspirators preparing a bridal mock
cry for their sweet confusion.
Then the angels might have nudged
one another and said:
ooh, it's all right now. There goes
the minister hurrying to their very
car. Mallory has the license In his
pocket, and here comes the parson.
Hoorayl"
And then the angelic cheer must
have died out as the one great hurrah
of crowded background is quenched
in air when the home teams vitality
needed home run swerves outside the
line and drops useless as a stupid foul
ball.

thirty years of being a preacher"

man in the little black hat and the
close-fitting black bib. I'm so tired
of it, Sally, don't want anybody on
the train to know it."
"They can't help guessing it, with
your collar buttoned behind"
And then the amazing minister act
ually dared to say, Here's where

actually did It, Actually took off his
collar and buttoned it to the front.
The old carriage seemed almost to
rock with the earthquake of the deed.

"But your bib?" she said.

OF course you use an antiseptic in your

Instead of what you have been using
such as liquid or tablet antiseptics or
peroxide, won't you please try Paxtine,
a concentrated antiseptic powder to be
dissolved in water as needed.
Paxtine is more economical, more
cleansing, more germicidal and more
healing than anything you ever used.

1 YE1R OF TLIGWT.

The last year deserves to he rCmem.
bered as pre-eminently a year of fight.
This does not mean that aviation was
the most important work of the year
among men, but that the years work In
aviation was the most interesting and
important in its history. II was a year
of large increase in the number Of air
men aud of record breaking in height
speed, distance and duration. If We
reckon the practical art Of aviation to
have begun In 1903 with the perform
ances of Wilbur Wright, the advance
marked in 1911 was I'm height from
32S feet 10 1897 feet; i'm speed from
80 TO so miles an hour; in distance In
single fight from 77.6 TO 462 miles; in
duration of a single flight from 2 hours
20 minutes 90 seconds 10 / hours | min
ute % seconds.
Perhaps long flights across country
we're the most impressive feature Of
the year These were made successfully
from Paris TO the Puy de Dome, from
London TO Paris, from Paris 10 Madrid,
from Paris TO Turin by way Of Rome ;
over the European circuit of France,
Belgium, Holland and England; the
circuit of Great Britain, the German ma
tional circuit, from st. Louis to New
York and from New York to the Pacific
Coast The real Importance Of these
flights was materially diminished by
the fact that they were made in numer-
Gus instalments, extending over long pc
riods Of generally much longer
time than would he required for cover
ing the same distances by rail.
. Really more notable was the adoption
of aviation into the military systems #
the world The practical interest taken
in it by our own army is well known,
though expenditures have not yet been
large. The French military budget for
the year contained an item of Sl.520O0O
for aeroplane work. while the total cX-
penditure OH aerOnautlcs was not less
