"For once, let's have little
peace in the house." exclaimed
Tommy Goosenberry's Pa as he
settled down to his carpet slip
pers and the evening paper. Then,
for Tommy's benefit, he read
something about how noble it is
for a lad to follow in his fathers
footsteps and achieve fame.
That's not what Mr.. Mike
Rooney, the teamster says" in
terrupted Tommy. "He says as
how he wouldn't ever let his chill
dren be teamsters when they
grow up"
He did, Ell? Well, why won't
he?"
Because his children are all
girls" replied Tommy, executing
a neat movement toward the rear.
This morning Tonnmy's moth
er asked him to carry a package
over to Mrs. Hinklespieler's
house.
Gee, ma" objected Tommy,
tthey have a dog over there and
he's always barking when people
go in the yard"
But, my son, don't you know
the proverb, Barking dogs don't |
bite'?"
Sure, ma, I know it, but l
don't believe that dog knows it. "
Then he got to school just in |
time to hear the teacher talk to
the class on the subject of NOR |

BREAKING IT

There is a tale told in every big,
house-party in Ireland about an
incident in the seventies. A peer
and peerless in their own country
house were seated at lunch with
their daughter, who was not on
the best of terms with them, when
she broke a long silence by OBJ
serving:
Mother, I was married this
morning" u
The peeress bore the news with
a severe aspect, and observed, III
chilling tones:
"At least, before telling such a
private matter, you might wait
until James (the footman) leaves
the room"
"But, mother, it is James I mar
ried.

WORK OF ANTI-sALooN LEAGUE.
Business Men Would Unite Against It
AS a Business Proposition.

Rev. c. H. Smith of Burlington, super
intendent of the Vermont AntiSaloon
league, spoke in the Congregational
church Sunday on the work of the
league. He showed the large number of
cases in the courts in various parts of the
state, due to intoXication, and said he
came to suggest some possible lines of ac-
ton in mitigating the evil. First, young and
old should be taught, by precept and ex-
ample, total abstinence. Second, every
town and city should make illegal the
sale of intoxicating liquor as a beverage.
Brattleboros record, he said, was excel
lent OF the GAG towns in the state only
Is have legalized saloons. At the last
March meetings the state gave a ma
jority of over 5000 against license. Third,
the state should see that the laws against
the traffic are obeyed. Fourth, the right
kind of men should be elected to the leg
isature. The league has no party af-
filiation, but it wants men elected to Of
flee who hold the right views concern
ing the great moral questions confront
ing the people.
The argument for license is that men
will drink anyway. Some will, but there
are multitude whom the law can help.
Intemperance is a question of the greed
of certain men to make money out of the
traffic. The individual working against
that force is helpless, but if those op-
posed to the traffic work together they
can stay its force. The league has not
found the final solution Of the great prob
lem, the speaker said, but it is gathering
facts and supplying them to all who de-
sire-to the minister who wishes to
preach a sermon on the liquor question,
to the editor who desires material for an
editorial, to the high school students who
seek information for a debate. Its work
is marked by success, but the success
will be much greater when the business
men Of the state support it as a business
proposition. With a comparatively small
amount of money, said Mr.. Smith, a
public sentiment could be created which
would carry the entire state against Ii
cense. An offering for the work was
taken.

MASSACHUSETTS NOTES.
Two Shooting Fatalities.

Jesse, 10, son of Mr. and Mrs. George
Dresser, was fatally shot in their home
in Wendell Depot, Mass, Monday morn
ing. The lad was in the celler with his
older brother, Harold, and the latter
claims that when he attempted to pick
up gun that had fallen to the floor the
weapon was discharged. The charge
struck the younger boy in the back,
making bad wound in the stomach and
bowels which resulted in his death two
hours later. DIR. Johnson of Erving did
everything possible to relieve the suffer-
ing of the child, who was conscious most
of the time.
Edward Freese Lunt, jr., 10. accdently
shot and killed himself in his home in
North Adams Monday. He had passed his
examinations as a senior in the Drury
high school and was preparing to leave
for a camp to remain until his gradua-
ton June IS. He had borrowed a 3S cal
ibre Colt revolver and his mother had
warned him against handling 1t carelessly.
He placed a cartridge in it, aimed the
weapon toward his head and just as he
remarked "See, mother 1t won't go off,,
1t was discharged, the bullet entering
just back of the right temple. The fran
tic mother rushed outside for help, but
death had been instantaneous.

Why Savings Banks Are
Essential

Because people having money to in
vest are often tempted by designing
persons to go into schemes which. while
promising large returns, usually bring
disaster.
Probably there are no more shrewd,
far-sighted, conservative investors of
money than successful life insurance
companies.
They employ expert men-men who
make the study Of investments their
life work; who pass upon all applica-
tions for loans and investments; and 1t
Is fact which anyone can verify by
getting the insurance companies re-
ports, that four to five per cent inter-
est Is all these companies are able to
make their loans average.
Those schemers who would go to I'M
sophisticated women or inexperienced
men and tell them that they could just
as well get six per cent as four, well
know that If their schemes were solid,
substantial and safe, they could borrow
money by the million from these life in
surance companies.
The Lamolle County Savings Bank
and Trust company Of Hyde Park never
takes a note paying over six per cent
If any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six per
cent, 1t turns it down, because it wants
no better evidence that it is dangerous
than the fact that it offers to pay more
than six per cent.
What is the result?
In it's more than twenty-three years
of existence, this bank has never lost
a dollar by a poor note.
Safety rather than high races Of in
terest" is its motto; and, knowing this,
depositors, not only from Vermont, but
from every state in the Union Except

Plans for the Republican State conven

The Republican state committee nave
selected as temporary chairman of the
Republican state convention to be held
in Burlington June 81, Frederick G. Fleet
wood of Morrisville and as chairman of
the committee on resolutions Luther P.
Johnson of Randolph.
The committee have asked Mr.. Johnson
to prepare tentative platform to be Of
fered for publication to all of the news
papers in the state before the convention,
in order that there may be an opportun-
ity for suggestions, criticisms and discus
sions of the various matters proposed,
and the committee will ask the full COM
mittee on resolutions, to be composed of
one member selected from each county, to
meet with Mr.. johnson the evening of
June 49, at Burlington, at which meeting
all suggestions made by members of the
Republican party will be duly considered
and full and free discussion had of all
matters which may be suggested as prop
err to be considered by the convention as
the platform of the Republican party Of
Vermont.
The Republican state committee very
much desire that the various county
conventions should be held after the Re-
publican state convention in order that
the platform adopted by the state con-
vention may be properly considered and
acted upon by the county conventions.
Some members of past legislatures have
claimed that they had no knowledge Of
party pledges made by the Republican
state convention and did not feel in duty
bound to assist in carrying out those
pledges, and the Republican state COM
mittee desire to do all possible to bring
the matter of party principles and party
platform to the attention of the Repub-
lican voters before the various conven-
lions, so that there may be no chance for
misunderstanding in the coming cam
paign.

BRATTLEB0R0 LOCAL
RECESS IN COUNTY COURT.
Judge Fish Directed Verdict for Defend
ant In Pierce Mitchell Deceit Case
Six Divorces Granted.

Judge Fish Directed Verdict for Defend
ant In Pierce Mitchell Deceit Case
Six Divorces Granted.
A recess in Windham county court was
taken Saturday forenoon to Tuesday,
July 8, as Judge Frank L. Fish was
obliged to leave for Addison county TO
open the regular session of county court.
The last case tried was that of John d.
Pierce of Newfane against Vivian e.
Mitchell of Easthampton, Mass, in
which damages were claimed for alleged
Deceit In AN automobile trade. Mr.. Pierce
traded his Rambler car with Mr.. Nit
chell for a Flanders car, paying Mr..
Mitchell $500 bonus. The plaintiff claimed
that the cylinders were scratched and
scored, that the transmission gears were
imperfect and that the car was other
wise defective. After the plaintiffs side
had been presented the defense moved
that the court direct a verdict for the
defendant on the ground that the plaint-
if had failed to show that the defend
ant had any knowledge of any defects
in the Flanders car. The court directed
a verdict for the defendant to recove r
costs. E. w. Gibson and A. V. d. Piper
were counsel for Pierce and III. G. e. F.
e. Barber for the defendant. The plant
if was granted an exception to the SUI
preme court on Judge Fish's ruling
It is asserted by the defendants coun-
sci that Mr. Pierce rode with the de-
PENDANT from Easthampton where the
car was to be delivered, to Greenfield
and that everything worked all right up
to that time. From there Mr.. Pierce
drove the car to Brattleboro, having
trouble with II on the way, and after
arriving here it was necessary to have
it repaired. The defense claims that
there were no defects in the machine,
that If there were Mr.. Mitchell had no
knowledge of them, and the trouble came
through incompetency on the part of
Mr.. Pierce to handle the car.
The case of Isle Carpenter against
the Central Vermont Railway company
to recover damages for injuries in a
railroad accident is scheduled for trial
first when court reconvenes.
Up to the time of the recess six d.
vorces were granted, as follows:
Grace NJ. Corey of Brattleboro from
William A. Corey, for a statutory Of
Tense.
Lena NJ. Eagleston of Brattleboro from
Fred w. Eagleston, for neglect and re-
fusal to support.
Ethelind NJ. Harris of Athens from
Louis w. Harris, for wilful desertion.
Harriet NJ. Simonds of Rockingham
from Leon A Simonds, for intolerable
severity.
Frank Harvey of Dover from Nettie
Harvey, for intolerable severity.
Frank Fish of Saxtons River from Nell
lie L. Fish, for wilful ldesertion.

Stamping Out Tuberculosis In Cattle.

Cattle Commissioner F. L. Davis of
White River Junction reports that the
condition OF the herds which have been
tested for tuberculosis over the state is
far better than ever before since the
testing was begun, Is years ago, and
that the disposition of the farmer to do
all In his power to stamp out the plague
was also more encouraging In Orleans
county, where conditions We're formerly
poor, there is seen the greatest improve
ment, but Cbittenden county lags far be-
hind the others and nearly as many
claims for diseased cattle are paid in
that country as in all Of the remainder
OF the state put together. This Is partly
because of the indifference of the farmers
and partly because of the start which
the disease had obtained. The barns in
many cases are infested with the germ
and even where a herd has been tested
and diseased cattle discovered, there is
often no disposition to get retest for
which the state is willing to bear the ex-
pense.
