PLAYED AND LOST.
Old Time Shell Games Tempted Many
 Visitors to Circus Ground

Probably to prove the axiom that there is sucker born every minute party of persons who were about the circus grounds here Wednesday, with the moss covered three shelI' game and several other ancient but effective means of separating people from their money relieved a number of local people of what coin they had brought with them. and one man who watched the feecing of the crop of 1913 estimates that the cleanup must have netted the gamblers several hun dred dollars.
 It seems 9 pity that such a picking could have been done here, but it is more so because of the fact that cit izens who are regarded as honorable men-and men who would not care to have their families know about it- are alleged to have assisted in the picking by inducing (}v acting as ''cappers" who were making vrinnings) persons who knew them to erter the game and be deceived. Ts all the stories . heard about the playing" are correct. the authorities need not feel that games of chance were being played. There was not a possible chance for any man who played some of the games. He was stuck the minute he put up his money-but, then he was in there trying to trim the other fel- , low at the other fellows game, which is some stunt old sports will tell you. Those Willimantic people who have friends that are apt to he foolish with their money would do well to turn them over to the keeping of the police next Monday-for those fellers will get em if they don't watch out

Landscapes VIII BE
Changed.

w. T. Cough has made a dona-
tion OF fifty trees to each school
district in Dickinson county and has
asked the teachers and students to-
set them out for the Identification
Of the school property. The schools
may take their choice of elm. Caro-
line. poplar. maple or thornless To-
Gust.
II all the schools OF the county
take advantage OF the generous of
fer Mr.. Cough will be called upon
for more than 5000 trees. Super
intendent steen eaid today that
many Of the schools OF the county
were situated on the highest point
In the district without tree or shrub
in sight and that there was really
nothing inviting in the school to
teacher. pupils or to the district at
large. BY setting out the trees
which Mr.. Cough has offered many
landscapes in the county will take
on different appearance and the
schools will become more inviting
to all the people OF the district. The
schools are taking up the study OF
agriculture and plant life in many
parts of the county, too, and Mr..
|Steen says that the trees will be Of
advantage in this study. Many of.
the teachers will be here for the
teachers meeting this week and they
should take advantage Of this OPP
|p0rtunity to get the trees. Arbor
day is slated early in April and the.
trees may be put out on this day
or at special exercises on the last
day of school.

FIRST DICTAPHONE is
AT WORK IN ABILENE
IL Being Used in the Office Of H. j
Hodge.

Abilene is in on anything that's
out and there isn't amy question
about 1t. One Of the latest inven-
lions for the simpliflcation of office
work is the dictaphone and Abilene
has It's first introduction to this lit
tie machine through II. J. Hodge.
The dictaphone Is much on the order
OF the photograph. It takes and re-
cords dietation on regular phono-
graph record and repeats the dicta-
ton for THE stenographer. With
the dictapkone MI. fIodge is able to
dictate his letters at his convenience
and his sstenographerszr the
speaking tube with their hearing
tube and take the dictation and
write the letters right off the reel.
The machine IL supplied with
shaver 10 that record may be shaw
ed after 1t has been used and may
be used again many times. The
machine IL run by electric motor
and may be stopped at the will of
the operator. The dictaphone saves
is much faster both for
the man who does the debating and
the stenographer who uses the type
writer and will sometime run the
school out OF business.
