Haskell's coal pockets on Tues day evening was repoEted to Police man Charles McFadden about 10.20 o'clock by young man, and the police man telephoned Captain Dennis J.

 The captain of the barge that was lying in the river told Policeman Me Fadden that he saw what started the fire. and that it was big piece of live clinker which fell from a Central Ve" mont freight train which had passed just shortly before. The barge captain said that while the locomotive fireman was fixing his fires two pieces of clink- CT fell from the engine.

SPECIALIZATION

A great deal is said in a dis paraging way about the modern tendency toward specialization. The time was when barbers were also doctors, when you could get man who would pull your tooth or shoe your horse with equal willingness; when a woman, wanting the ruff1es for her underskirt "pinked," would take them to the undertaken to be done.
 There may have been cer- tain unique charm about such combinations of occupations, but the quality of the service rend- cred must have been somewhat uncertain.
 Nowadays practically every man and woman in the produc-
 i tive business world works along some certain well-defned line The result of this specialization is shown in the immense advance there has been in the quality and
 variety of articles put into the
 market for general consumption The medium through which
 the public is informed of the best
