an out of town alarm sounded. The
/ firemen quickly responded and sooI
had the hose cart with a hand pump
| loaded on a fat car and with about
20 iremen was ready to start. The
| special train was held however un-
til the east bound express pulled out
and then was run to the East Viii
| lage. The firemen arrived there
about quarter of three and soon had
the pump throwing a good stream of
water from the river on the fire.
More Buildings Destroyed
Before the st. Johnsbury men
arrived the fire had swept through
the house and barn of Miss Char
lotte Morrill, ad practically leveled
the houst and barn of Francis
Brown. 1t had also caught on one
side of the buildings of Lois Moul-
ton and an attempt was being made
to tear down that house in an effort
to keep the blaze from the Congre-
gational church In their fright the
people damaged the furniture con-
siderably and they tore out the
pews, windows and carpets of the
church and some furniture was TAX
en- from the house of Eugene Shas-
teny beyond the church. In few
minutes after the stream from the
pump was started it seemed that
the blaze would be stopped at the
Brown house and the destruction of
furniture was stopped.
Sick People Carried Out
During the excitment Mrs. Moul-
ton and Mrs. Shores were nearly
overcome by fright and had to be
helped to places of safety. Aunt
Honor Brown, a woman about IS
years of age who lay in bed with
a broken hip, we're carried out of the
Brown, who was disabled with
broken hip, we're carried out of the
Brown house. George Babcock
was quite badly cut over one eye by
piece of furniture which was
thrown from house. The Brown
invalids were taken to st. Johns
bury and the whole Brown family
are there at present stopping with
relatives. The Brown buildings
were insured for $500 which covers
the loss on them but Mr. Brown lost
a lot of nice wood and some furni-
ture. 1t is doubtful if they rebuild
More of the Insurance
The church was allowed $500
damage by the insurance company
and Lois Moulton was allowed $3.50
insurance which will hardly cover
her loss. The loss on the Morrill,
house was $1,243 but the loss is
above $1,000.
John Nolan and his family stay
through the day at the abandoned
house on their farm outside the viii
lage, but they stay nights att

The first fair of the season comes
at Barton, next week Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, August

They announce all the usual features
seen at other fairs and will furnish
ball game each day, the Montreal
Stars VS.. picked Barton team, the
first two days, and fast local team

short speeches; have the usual num-
Der of races, stage attractions, pre-

attractions at cents it must be re-
membered that the grounds at Bar
ton are probably the best in the
state. Read their advertisement in

vouring those buildings. Enough
people had gathered by this time to
remove most of the furniture and
articles from the barn and they were
saved in a somewhat damaged con-
dition. The Dodges received 81 900
insurance which practically covered
their loss on the buildings. There
was a loss of over $500 on the hay,
wood and furniture.
Assistance From st. Johnsbury
When it was seen the fire would
spread the authorities of St. Johns
bury were telephoned, and they or
dered the new automobile fire truck
to the scene. The truck had to
come to a full stop three times on
account of frightened teams and
then made the trip in nine minutes.
The buildings were so far gone be-
fore the truck arrived that the
chemicals were of no use and as
the village had no water pressure
the hose could not be used. Word

ADVICE to Bows and Girls.

Save your pennies and send them
to the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
That Bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Why?
Because it wishes to encourage the
children to be frugal and to have
little bank account of their own,
even though the initial deposit is the
smallest possible sum.
Children who commence an ac-
count on a penny, a nickel, or a
dime, often grow into capitalists lat
er on.
The way to become a capitalist Is
to comemnce now TO save the PEN
MES.

DEVONSHlRE CREAM is GOOD
DeIIcacy Not a Difficult Matter tc
Make, and It Is Usually Appreci-
ated by All.

It is not difficult matter to make
this delicacy, which is always appre-
ciated by young and old. The quaint
ity of milk needed may seem exces-
sive; for pound of the cream one and
one-half gallons of good milk is re-
quired. but the leftover milk may be
put to many uses. and, after all. the
ordinary family would be satisfied with
much less.
To make this cream strain new milk
into large shallow pan until it is four
or five inches deep. Leave in a cool
for twelve hours in the summer, for
twenty-four hours in the winter. Do
not disturb it in any way. Next care
fully carry the pan to the stove and
place over a pot Of hot water. The
heating should take at least one-half
hour and the temperature should rise
to $50 degrees to develop the proper
flavor. 1t is done when the cream
forms a ring around the pan and is
wrinkled on the top. Let it stand
twelve hours before skimming.

NEW PAPER MONEY.

Robert G. Bailey, assistant secre-
tary of the treasury, has completed a
list of former presidents and other
prominent men whose names are to be
USED on new series of paper money
that Is about to be issued
The face of George Washington will
appear on the 81 bills, Thomas Jeffer-
son on the 81 bills, Abraham Lincoln
on the So bills, Grover Cleveland on
.he Slo, Alexander Hamilton, $40; An
Grew jackson. $50; Benjamin Frank
nn' SloO; John Marshall, $500; Henry
clay, $1,000; and U. s. Grant, $4,000.
II is Mr.. Bailey's plan to have all
three branches of the government, ex-
ecutiVe' legislative and judicial, rep
resented on the paper money. All the
men named were presidents except
hamilton, Franklin, Marshall and
Clay' Marshall for years was chief
Justice of the Supreme court and will
De the jurist represented on the bills.
Inc face of Henry Clay will be there
for the legislators.
All of the bills of the same denom-
ination. under the new plan. will bear
tne races Of the same men. That is,
all treasury notes. silver certificates
and national bank notes of the same
amount will be alike as far as pictures
go. This, 1t is believed, will be a
check on counterfeiting.
offcials at the treasury department
admit that the most dangerous form
or counterfeiting is bill raising. By
having bills of the same denomination
bear the same pictures it would be
impossible for any one to add anoth-
er cipher to $40 bill and pass 1t as
a 800 bill.

How to Tao Your Trunk.

A vacation crowd was sitting on the
porch of hotel and the discussion
turned to the subject of baggage. Sew
eral had told of their annoyance al
having trunks come a day or a week
late and how hard it was to get bag
gage through on time.

woman who had been around the
world and then some. Il work 1t this
way: On every piece of baggage

tag. one that can't fail to be seen.

valise this way and l then hunt up

Watersheds,

A German cabinetmaker has con-
structed pair of watersheds, with
the help of which he walks upon the
water. He has already crossed Lake
Ammer, in Bavaria. 10000 feet wide,
in two hours.
These watersheds are really two
long. narrow boxes of pine wood.
squared of at the rear end and shaped
like the bow of boat in front. To
preserve his balance the traveller
grasps two upright posts. At the
outer edge of each boat or shoe three
small paddles, shaped like rudders.
are fastened. These move on hinges
and are worked by sliding mechan-
ism that is operated by the traveller
pushing his feet forward alternately,
somewhat like boy learning to
skate.
He can travel rapidly and with
safety on smooth water although the
apparatus is probably not fit for use
in stormy weather. Those who have
tested it assert that 1t does not tax
the strength as much as rowing a
fair-sized boat. The inventor uses his
WATERSHEDS every day for crossing
the lake and transporting his tools
and a moderate amount of baggage.
