"Oh, pa, don't smoke a pipe to-
night. 1t smells the parlor so, and
Mariana don't like it."
''Indeed!' pa exploded. "And who
is Mariana that should go without
me pipe for her and the young idiots
that call on her. She ought to be in
bed instead of burning the gas"
Hush, pa, she'll hear you. She
says you mustn't come into the par

says the young gentlemen don't like
it."
Pa let forth one terrible below that

parlor, seated himself in the green
plush chair, placed his stockinged
feet on a red plush chair, Lit his pipe

Half an hour later Sammy found
her there.

HIS FINGERS FLEW
 OVER THE KEYBOARD
Performance of Republicans Steno-
 grapher at State Fair.

The Republican is in possession of west aS the record shows and he is as accurate as he is swift. He is Richard l.. Brewer, the business of flee stenographer. who was demon strating at the state fair the capa bilities of an Underwood machine in the hands of a competent artist MT. Brewer gained his speed in type writing at the Lamson business col lege and he has been developing it for the past year in The Republican office.
 His first performance in the de- monstration was to reel of 176 words of memOrized matter in a minute with a single error That is much faster than a man who is not a stutterer ought to talk.
 His next task was to write III words of unfamiliar matter from dis tatiOn and his last was to write for five consecutive minutes not from dictation, matter which was entirely new to him.
 The letters on the keyboard of a typewriter annoy and confuse MT. Brewer so that the one he uses in his daily work has the letters all rubbed off. Another advantage of that arrangm ent is that other peo- pie do not monkey With it and get it out of adjustment.

THIEVES STEAL INDIAN
 BLANKETS IN DAY TIME
Shoplifters Have Unusual Discern nnent Seeing Value Through
 Wrappings.

Some unknown person whose pow CTS of discernment enable him to se- feet the unusual, even if 1t is hidden behind many Wrappings of heavy pa per, entered Graves Indian Shop yesterday morning about II and walked off with a bundle containing two fine blankets, valued at $55.00. These blankets had just been sold by Mr Graves to F. U. WheeIock, whose beautiful home in Manhattan many blankets from Graves, and on this trip desired two medium sized rugs for a certain space in his home.
 Wishing rugs of solid gray and black with no other shades or any color in them. it was necessary to make quite search to find these. So not only is MT. Graves out two fine rugs, but MT. Wheelock is very much disappointed.
 One of the rugs is just about four feet by seven, and the other is about six feet six inches by eight feet Mir Graves says that the store was crowded all the morning. and that he vas unable to wait upon all those who came in; many came and went without his noticing them particu- larly.
 He will be glad indeed to give suitable reward for the return of the blankets, or for information that will aid in the arrest of the thief. Should anyone obtain any such in formation phone Chief of Police Moore or the Graves Indian shop.

To
 NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-There were a few mildly favorable developments in the stock market and prices were marked up today. The rise of Ameri- can stocks, in London started an up- ward swing here. There was consid- erable demand from abroad, and buy
 ing for London accounts was estimated at 10000 shares. Copper stocks was influenced by the monthly report of the producers which, while showing an increase of 2,773. 900 pounds in stock on hand, was rated as unexpectedly good. A much larger accumulation Of metal was looked for. The report was made the basis Of some bulIish activity in Amalgamated. Another favorable feat
 ure was the improved outlook in the money market. Cash movements of the week indicated that banks would make a good showing in tOmOrrOw's state ment Speculation was concentrated largely on Steel, Amalga mated copper, Reading. and Union Pacific, all of which were strong. Rubber common, and first preferred. fell 1 points each, of the new first preferred stock. Amer ican Can was under pressure from the bears. who revived the report that the company would be prosecuted by the government. On the curb there was a brisk advance in the Standard Oil group. Bonds were irregular the early heaviness being followed by some inn provement in tone Total sales repre- scented a par value of 1892 900. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

SAYS MORPHINE DOES
 NOT GIVE PLEASURE

In the American Magazine appears story of a woman who was mor- phine fiend and then saved herself
 The story appears as the second of a series of articles by Peter Clark MacFarane entitled Those Who Have Come Back'-showing how men and women. failures or disgraced, at forty. have taken a new hold on life and are today helpful members of the community. Following is an extract of the womans own experience with morphine:
 Morphine does not give pleasure. It creates pain. This is it's ultimate and positive effect. The pleasure it Is supposed to produce is mere temporary form of anesthesia. The eXhilarating effect is the first thrin of pain vibrating so rapidly one does not recognize it as such. Let that ebe written in letters as tall as the mountains Morphine is a pain pro- ducer It is a nerve destroyer It Weakens the will. It disrupts the foundations of the mind"

MORE INFANTILE PARALYSIS
Sixteen Cases i'm MISUNDERSTANDING
Schools Closed

DR.. H. W. Ladd of the state board
of health was in town last Friday,
coming here from Hardwick where
he had been to investigate the new
cases of infantile paralysis that were
discovered there last week. There
is a total of 16 cases there now
and the state board of health has
indefinitely postponed the opening
of Hardwick Academy and the
graded schools on account of the
epidemic.
Dr. E. w. Taylor of Boston, an
eminent specialist and lecturer in
Harvard on nervous diseases was in
Burlington Sunday in consultation
with Doctors Pease and Hawley in
connection with the case of Max
Leon Powell, Jr., who is i'll with in
fantile paralysis. DR.. Taylor said
that it was as mild case as he
had ever seen and that the boy would
surely make a complete recovery,
and that very soon. DIR. Taylor stat
ed that science is agreed that the
disease is not contagious, that it is
very seldom that two persons in the
same family have it, and that there
is no danger of its going further.

ARRESTS DURING FAIR
One Horse Killed and Several
Drunks Captured

Chief Finley attracted much raw
orable comment last Wednesday eve
ming when he made his debut as hu-
name officer. D. J. Buzzel of East
Concord, who had spent the day at
the horse traders camp, near the
fair ground, appeared on the street
that evening with frame OF horse,
that showed the marks of disease,
starvation and abuse, and the mat
ter was at once reported to the po-
lice. The chief hunted up Buzzell
and seized the team. The suggestion
that he have the horse killed did not
appeal to BuZzel1 who claimed 1t was
a high blooded and valuable animal
and during the argument he made
himself so obnoxious that he was
locked up on a charge of intoxica-
ton. A night in the police station
and the settlement of fine and
costs amounting to $12.54, evidently
caused in his mind a depreciation in
the value of the aforesaid steed,
for he was willing then to act
upon Chief Finley's suggestion. He
called up George Barret and ordered
the animal disposed of and left for
his home, with probably different
opinion of what he could and could
not do in st. Johnsbury.
The vigilance of the police force
during fair week also interferred
with the Illicit pleasure of seven
tipplers, who evidently looked upon
the wine and didn't care a rap
whether it was red or yellow. The
seven paid the usual fines of $500
and costs.
On complaint of a soldier of for
tune, whose dreams of avarice faded
with the loss of seventy cents in real
money, James Cassidy of Concord.
N. H., proprietor of a game of
chance at the fair ground was ar
rested. He repaid the seventy
cents and was fined $40. Sentence
was suspended and he was placed
in the hands of the probation Off
Ger.

LEG BADLY CRUSHED
William Thomas Caught Under
Automobile

William Thomas, the ten years
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Horace
Thomas is at Brightlook hospital
suffering from a badly fractured
ankle. AS he came running out
from the Summerville schoolhouse
after school Wednesday he ran
against a New Hampshire automo-
bile and his right leg went under
the hind wheel. As a result both
bones of the ankle were broken and
one of them crushed. His lips were
cut and he was bruised also. The
ankle was set that day but an x ray
examination later showed that the
break was a worse one than was at
first thought and the bones were re-
set Sunday He is doing as well as
could be expected and will probably
be able to be taken home this week.
The people in the automobile car
ried him to the hospital at his re-
quest.

Bad Case of ID. Us.

Sheriff Worthen, Deputy Sheriff
Gilman and Chief Finley respond
ed to a telephone call from East
st. Johnsbury Monday forenoon. Cit
izens of that place were alarmed by
the actions of man on the rail-
road track and telephoned the Off
GERS that the man was insane. On
arrival the officers found their man
sitting on the ties of the railroad
bridge with a shoe off. He COM
planned that he had a broken leg,
which he claimed was broken
when he caught his foot between
the ties, while being chased by two
large men. Chief Finley recognized
the man as Mac" O'Donnell, a
rowing character, and also recogniz-
ed his chief ailment as an exagger-
ated case of D. T's. He was brought
to the police station and the local
police force were kept busy for
some time Kidding the place of
green lizards, monstrous snakes
and other creations of an alcoholic
mind. A doctor was called to ex-
anime the mans leg and it was
found to be broken. He was taken
to St. Johnsbury hospital. AS the
man was apparently uninjured when
seen above East Village he prob
ably was right about catching his
foot between ties on the bridge,
when fleeing from his imaginary
enemy.

WOMAN ROBBED.
Money Snatched From Her On the
Street-Another Unsuccessful
Hold-up.

Mrs. James Walker of Mt. Vernon
street while on her way home about
10 o'clock last Tuesday night, was
accosted on Cliff street and bag
containing $11.5U snatched from
her hands. Mrs. Walker was accom-
panied by her daughter, Myra, and
part of the money belonged to the
latter The hold-up occurred near
the lumber yard, where a man
jumped out of a dark corner and
grabbed the bag. Mrs. Walker
fought to retain it, but she was soon
over-powered and the thief quickly
made his escape. Miss Walker cried
out to a crowd of boys on the cor
ner of Cliff street and Western av-
enue to stop the thief but he elud-
ed them. But a meagre description
of their assailant could be obtained
from the women. The matter was
reported to the authorities but they
have been unable to obtain a clue.
Two thugs, evidently strangers
attracted here by the fair, attempt
ed a hold-up up at the overhead
bridge near the campus Wednesday
evening. Miss Emma Blake, fear
ing to keep the days receipts at
the fruit stand on the fair ground,
started for her home with the
money. The highwaymen were ev-
identity lying in wait for her and as
she stepped into the bridge they
sprang upon her and attempted to
wrest the money bag from her. Miss
Blake put uD a game fight and
managed to keep the thugs busy
until the arrival of a crowd of men
who were driving cattle. Scenting
trouble, the crooks made a quick
getaway. but without the coin.

SHUT OUT LITTLETON
St. Johnsbury Team Had an Easy
Victory Over Visitors

st. JohnSbury Team Had an Easy
Victory Over Visitors
In an exhibition game last Thurs
day forenoon st. Johnsbury defeated
Littleton 6 to o. Both teams were
purely local and although the fans
missed sSpeare and several familiar
faces in the Littleton lineup, it was
a good chance to decide which of
the two towns possessed the better
base ball material. Smythe and
Wright did the battery work for the
locals and Beetham and Regan were
in the points for the visitors.
Smythe worked smoothly through
out, holding his opponents to four
hits and striking out 16, while
Beetham had a couple of bad inn
ings. In the fifth st. Johnsbury got
to him for seven hits, which with a
few errors, netted five runs. Again
in the seventh st. Johnsbury got a
man across and this finished the
scoring. A good crowd attended.

FAIR OFFENDERS FINED
Ten Gamblers Had to Settle Before
Judge Porter

Sheriff Worthen and force put in
a busy week during the fair and as
a result several offenders are poor
er in pocket-book. Ten strangers
who were conducting various games
in which the main scheme was the
separation of the unwary from his
surplus cash, we're rounded up. They
paid fines of $15.05 each and were
allowed to go their way.
An Italian crawled under the
fence and refused to pay his fare
when caught. He later paid SIS in
Judge Porter's court. Several 9TH
ers caught while attempting to beat
their way in we're taxed $1.OO each
or twice the sum that would have
admitted them in the regular way.
w. G. Way of Lyndon was ar
rested at the fair ground Wednes-
day by Deputy Sheriff Hartman for
reckless driving of his auto. In
municipal court he settled for
$1454.
The sheriff was called to Martin
Gibson's lumber camp in Ryegate,
Sunday to quelI a disturbance. Sew
eral lumbermen and John Barley
corn were the principals in this af-
fair, and out of the bunch Sheriff
Worthen- sorted two who appeared
to be the ringleaders. One of
them showed unmistakable signs of
having been in the midst of the
fray. The men refused to give their
names. They will answer to a
charge of breach of the peace in
Municipal court this morning.
