SMoTHERED UNDER HAY.
Man, Perhaps vermonter, Had Tried
Hard to Escape.

Burlington, Sept 2l.--ln removing
bales of hay in warehouse in Point
au Roche, p. O., Thursday, the body OF
an unknown man, thought to resi-
dent OF Vermont, was uncovered by II.
ID. Gale, owner of the place. The man
had evidently died OF exposure while
imprisoned between the high piles of
hay but had made terrific struggles for
life and died because no one was near
to hear his cries
1t is believed that the man had
crawled into the warehouse to sleep and
had rolled off the hay into creyice.
Here he had probably lain for several
days, shut in by walls II feet in height.
The tremendous exertions made by him
to reach the top were shown by his shoes
which were worn entirely off at the heels
and the lower tiers of hay were also
torn nearly a quarter off.
The man was evidently about 25 years
of age and the only clue which may
lead to discovery of his home is a
cap which was purchased at store
in Middlebury. Other signs indicated
that he had sold small articles such as
pencils. probably from house to house.
In one pocket was found ticket to
the Middlebury fair The coroner at
Point au Roche has telegraphed authori
ties to see if any information may be
had from that source. Meanwhile the
body awaits identification at Browns
rooms.

Peat Production Small.

While the United States is rich in peat
deposits, the amount produced is small
that for lall being only 64l65 short
tons, valued at S3ll ,4S6 according to
figures compiled by Charles A. Davis and
just made public by the United States
geological survey. By far the greater
part of this production was used in the
fertilizer industry, 5l,733 tons being
utilized for that purpose.
In 1911 there was a growing consump-
tion of peat for miscellaneous uses, the
most important of which seems to have
been the use as an absorbent for refuse
beet sugar and other molasses, SO that
these excellent feeding materials can
be fed economically to cattle and other
live stock Charred dried peat is also
used in poultry food and other com
mercial foods for stock.
A copy of the report may be obtained
free on application to the Director of
the Geological Survey, Washington, d. c.

THE HOTEL PROJECT.
Committee Reports To-day Concerning
the Subscriptions.

Thirty three thousand nine hundred
and firty dollars now subscribed. This
would be an easy matter if each one who
is interested in Barre's having new
hotel would help little, only just their
part. We need new hotel and we
need a railroad down through the gulf,
We won't get either unless we are all
interested enough to be liberal and help.
Talk hotel; talk railroad; get the ideas
so working in our system that either
cannot prove a failure.
What we think we want is what we
are sure to get. Once our minds arc
made up to have a new hotel, there
won't be any such thing as give it up.
Everyone wants to see a new hotel, and
once the idea gets to be a part of our
determination, the hotel will surely be
a GO Your committee ask that all make
inquiries into hotels; ask how hotels are
run in Vermont to-day; ask as to their
help to town; ask as to whether they
pay; ask as to whether good hotel
in Barre would pay. We are very sure
that such inquiries would help to raiss
all the money needed to build hotel
that would be a boom to Barre and
place her on the hotel map of Vermont.

The rules have been modified slightly,
the principal feature being: the short

downs to make ten yards, abolition of
the onside kick, unrestricted use of the
forward pass and change in scoring
by which touchdown counts six points
instead of five, as formerly.
The rules committee will gather to-

Good Housewifery.

The girl who is going to make a good
wife will be anxious to train herself,
during the years of waiting, for the re-
sponsible post she has pledged herself
to undertake.
She would not dream of taking a
secretaryship without equpping herself
with a knowledge of shorthand and type
writing, nor would she apply for the po-
sition of teacher without having studied
her subjects to some purpose; then why
should a girl rush into matrimony-the
most serious and responsible situation
that it is possible to occupy-without
endeavoring to fit herself for the work
that lies before her?
Even the girl who is engaged all day
can mak opportunities of trying her
hand at cookery. If she has the good
luck to be living at home with her par
ents, she can beg to be allowed to do
little cookery for the evening meal or on
Saturdays or Sunday mornings.
"But / am tired of them. Am | to
give up my few spare hours!" she
calculates.
Certainly. Can you not sacrifice
something in order to go to the best
man in the world as useful wife, in
stead of pretty doll, incapable for
cooking him decent meal if things
go wrong and you are left servantless?
Hence, the good, loving, sensible girl
will keep big scrap book in her hope
box" into which she passes all sorts of
tried recipes, both for cookery and for
household affairs.
In fact, that wonderful "hope box"
should be a kind of multum in parvo-
prophetic of what her home is going to
be like-a sort of kernel around which
the house will grow, boasting not only of
the daintiest of fancy work articles, but
also of those common sense things with
which every home must be furnished be-
fore it is home in the best sense of
the word.-Exchange

Morgan and his 40 servants slept through

John Bernauer whom they arrested late

seven other articles of jewelry belonging
to the young financier.
The burglary occurred last January,
but news of it was not made public
until some time afterward when Mr..
Morgan informed the police that he
would pay a reward of $4,000 for the
recovery of the stolen articles.
Detectives who were shadowing a man
suspected of being Reynolds Frosbey,
who made sensational escape from the
Tombs prison. watched the suspect late

pawnbroker in the Bronx, where he tried
to dispose of some articles of jewelry.

In admitting the Morgan burglary,
Bernauer told the police how at about
4 o'clock on the morning of January
25. while proving in the vicinity of the
house, he found one of the back
doors unlocked. He visited almost every
room in the big house, finding servants
sound asleep. He found little attractive
to a burglar until he reached Mr.. Nor
gan's own room. He crept up to bu-
reau close to where the financier was
sleeping and ransacked all the drawers.
He could make little use of his loot,
for he found that all the pawnshops
were watched In eight months he
thought the case would have been for
