THEY WANT COAL.
Demand of Poor Is Heavy During Cold
Snap.

Can you let me have some coal,
mister?"
This is what Charles n. Bacon, COM
missioner of the poor, heard many
times this morning. 1t was inevita-
Bile, following very closely on the heels
of the sudden drop in temperature.
The cry came from a class of peo-
pie who, under ordinary circumstances,
are self-supporting, but who, for some
reason, are unable to cope with the
situation in the face of even so small
a crisis as a drop in the temperature.
Zone man who is asking for help
went several times to the theater last
fall" Commissioner Bacon said, land
bought good seats. Now he is out of
work cannot get work, and has moth
ing with which to supply his family
with coal to keep them warm.
Another man 1 found made a prac-
tice of attending the moving picture
shows as long as his money lasted.
They didn't cost much, but they took
his little surplus wealth, and now he
is in a pitiable condition.
Thus through the catalog. OF course
the use of liquor by the head of
the family is, perhaps, the chief cause
of suffering at this time of the year.
The man who spends his money for
LIQUOR rarely is able to buy coal, and
his family suffers the consequences
Practically ali those who come for
help are really, in need, and to but
few the commissioner turns a deaf ear.
But the fact remains that IMPROVE
dence, and extravaganza when money
is plenty, is one of the big causes for
suffering when work is slack And yet,
for some reason. the same people come
back year after year, having been ex-
travagant in much the same way, and
ask for help in the winter crisis.

New York Stock Marker.

Wall St, New York, Jan. 20-STOCKS
Operators on the stock exchange took
their cue today from the London market
where selling of the copper shares was
caused by a severe slump in the price of
metal. Local prices for copper issued
opened well down but there was little dis
turbance of the railroad list and it was
only after weakness appeared in special
ties that the standard stocks began to
sag. Possibility of a decision in the Min
nesota rate case today by the supreme
court had a restrictive effect on trading.
Bonds steady.
Copper shares were the feature of the
stock market at the opening today. Anal
gamated and Utah Coppers lost a point
each. The leading stocks were fractionalIy
lower. Westinghouse sold IA higher.

OnarreIIed Thursday

Last Thursday it was evident to
the people at the hotel that Mr.. and
Mrs Cole had been quarreling and
that evening Mrs. Nagel went with
Mrs. Cole TO a moving picture show.
Mrs. Cole retired after her return
to the hotel and did not appear the
next morning, Mr.. Cole reporting
that she was too i'll.
Ordered Out by Her Husband
She took no nourishment and in
the early afternoon the hotel clerk,
Albert w. Mears, went to her room
to tell her there had been a call
from East Burke for her at the tel
ephone. She said she was not able
to go down stairs. About $50 the
East Burke party called again and
asked the clerk to try once more
to have her come to the telephone.
He went to her room but she said
it was impossible for her to come to
the telephone and as he started to
leave the room she said my God,
what shall / do? Will says that
must get out of this house before
six O'Clock tonight or he will leave
it," These were the last words she

on Fred J. Babcock who gave some
practical advice on Good Sales
manship. He divided his talk into
three parts, know yourself. know
your stock, and try to know your
customer"
E. N. Randall was asked to tell
what the club amounted to in his
estimation and showed by what he
said that the merchants are salts
fed with the results. He said that
from its very beginning no similar
club has shown such a friendly spir-
it and loyal disposition as this one.
The merchant has gained as much
as anyone from the uniform hours
of closing and the waste of time in
keeping open Thursday evenings for
a few persons who had no better
place to hang around than some
store. The whole influence of the
club has been for the betterment of
the mercantile trade of st. Johns
bury. He urged the employee to be
loyal to his employer. the employer
to be considerable of his employee,
and both to join hands in upbuild-
ing the mercantile trade of St.
Johnsbury.
In introducing the president of
the Commercial Club, George H.
Cross, the POSTMASTER spoke of the
great debt which the Salespeople's
club owes that club, as it was a
committee from that club which act
ed as arbitrators between clerks and
merchants two years ago. Mr.. Cross
spoke of the important part clerk
plays in a business as no matter
how we'll the business is managed by
the owners the clerk is really the
last point and unless his work is
we'll done the good management
elsewhere counts for little. And
the clerk will find that loyalty to
his firm will be a valuable asset
later in life.
Mrs. Stiles sang again and re-
sponded to the demand for an en-
core after which A. H. Gleason was
asked to give his advice for the flu
ture. He spoke of the wonderful
results which may be accomplished
by constant application to one
thing, referring to the orchestra as
showing what one family has &C
complished in a musical way by
application, and assured the club
that if they would work in the flu
ture as they have in the past they
will unquestionably find the club
of great benefit to themselves and
the firms they work for. He ad
vised them to elect good officers and
to inject the same enthusiasm into
their work as they did into the
club and he felt sure they would
give satisfaction to themselves,
their employer and the community.
In closing MIR. Shepard expressed
the gratitude of the club to all who
had assisted in making the banquet
the unqualified success it was. The
banquet committee consisted of
Miss Fannie Beck, Mrs. G. A. Ben
nett, William Landry, Floyd
Holmes and B. M Shepard.

is voted the finest blue-coat that ever
swung q night stick. "Oficer 666"
is the big play hit of the year, and
the announcement that Cohan &
Harris are to present it here at The
Colonial Theatre tonight has been
the means of amusing a decided fiut-
ter of expectancy among playgoers.
The Country Boy April 8
The story of 1.-The Country Boy,
Edgar Selwyn's realistic comedy,
which Henry B. Harris will present
at The Colonial Theatre, April 8th,
is of a youth who goes to New York
to win fame and fortune. His lack
of success at home he attributes to
the limitations of a small town. In
the big city he is caught up in the
malstrom of a busy world and loses
sight of the charm of his longtime
sweetheart and the stimulus to his
ambition by attaching himself to a
chorus girl who only delights in his
admiration and cares nothing for
himself at all. He is about to make
away with himself when he is
caught in the firm grip of a man
who while he, too, has struggled and
seemingly failed, still has chung to
his optimism and the change that
things are to turn right at last even
though he is much older than the
youth. This friend labors with the
boy and at last coDvinces him that
the right thing to do is to return to
his home and make another try of
it among the people whom he knows
and who will help him. In company
with his friend he returns to his old
home and they make a winning
fight.

and Sheriff Worthen went to Lyn-

vestigation issued a warrant for
Coles arrest. Deputy Sheriff Harri-
man went to New Hampshire Mon
day night and brought Cole back
to st. Johnsbury Tuesday afternoon
and placed him in Jail. 1t is under
stood that he will have a hearing
Wednesday, April 8.
Lived Unhappy Life
Inquiries at Lyndonville show
that Cole is a young man about SO
years old and Mrs. Cole was about
80 years of age. This was Mrs.
Coles second marriage. Some time
ago the couple separated. About
two weeks ago she came back to the
Pleasant View House and began liv-
ing with Mr.. Cole again. But there
have been evidences that they did
not live happily together. Mr.. Cole
says that his wife had frequently
threatened to end her life.

spoke and the last time she was
seen alive. Both times when the
clerk went to the door he found her
crying but she did not appear in
any way dangerously i'll. At six
O'Clock she was found dead, it be-
ing evident that she died in spasm
and the opinion of the health Off
Ger Is that death was caused by
strychnine. The general opinion of
those who were called to care for
the body is that it was case OF
suicide but it is rumored on the
streets here that the officers found
discriminating evidence among the
papers in Mr.. and Mrs. Goes
room, and that the room has been
closed by the officers pending furth-
er investigation.

SALESPEOPLE'S CLUB
Annual Banquet Held Thursday
EVening-The Speakers

1t is said that no one is capable
of feeling gratitude for any length
of time but the SalespeOple's club
yearly proves that this is untrue by
giving a banquet to the merchants
who two years ago granted them
concessions in the way of shorter
hours and other long desired favors.
The banquet this year was served at
the Avenue House Thursday even
ing and proved even better than the
one last year if such a thing were
possible. The Sargent orchestra
played all through the serving of a
delicious eight course banquet. The
tables were gay with vases of red
carnations and at each place was a
pink carnation.
After the last cup of coffee B. M.
Shepard as POSTMASTER, called order
and expressed the desire of the club
for advice from their good friends,
the merchants. z. S. Waterman
was the first speaker and told what
he thought a salespeople's club
should be. He emphasized the
quality of sOciability and the need
of more men as members to keep
the club we'll balanced as to sexes.
He advised the club to always keep
in mind the business in which they
are engaged and to have something
pertaining to it at every meeting to
help them in making success of
their work. The employee of today
becomes the employer of tomorrow
and with the constant changes in
business methods the employe must
be continually growing to keep up;
in this thA c1uh ran he a helm TO
him.
After two soprano solos by Mrs.
Don G. Stiles the POSTMASTER called
