How He Broke Off Cigarette Smoking

Writing under the title "Won Out by
Force of VIII, a contributor tells, as
follows, in the June American Maya
zine how he broke off cigarette smoking:
II am a young man "A years old.
have smoked cigarettes since | was
boy until four months ago, and | was
smoking so or more a day. An active
and outdoor life had partially counter
acted the bad effects and, moreover, |
was naturally strong and well; but
knew they were hurting me, and | want
ed to stop.
"Just about this time it happened
that | changed my job. / had been driv-
ing a public taXicab, but | went home
to see my folks in another town, and
there took the job of driving a private
car for lady.
II was away from all my old com
panions and ! thought: Now is my
chance. am going to quit! For few
days | smoked two or three cigars a
day, and then / felt quite sure enough
and told myself about it afterward. The
only thing | allowed myself was chewing
gum. | found that a present help in
time of trouble but | gradually broke
myself of that
81 wouldn't 20 bacl, to the old habit
for anything. ! feel better. ] look bet
ter and ] know ] am better morally and
physically, but it has been fight,
fight that has taken every bit of cour-
age, strength, and endurance that / pos
sess.
"The desire was with me day and
night. / wanted cigarette worse than
anything | had ever wanted in my life.
1t seemed as though every man ! met
was smoking. Every paper | picked up
had nothing in it but tobacco advertise
ments. | dreamed about cigarettes and
big black cigars and comfortable old
pipes.
Every time that | went into the ga
boys cigarettes ! nearly went frantic
but ! never gave in, not one time. !
would go off and get grip on myself
and keep on fighting. And all the
time my dear lady was sympathizing
with me, encouraging me, praying for
me, and keeping me out in Gods big out
doors all she could
"Well, | have conquered / feel sure
of myself. A few nights ago ! dreamed
was walking down the street with a
crowd of people when | suddenly realized
was smoking. | flung my cigarette
away as far as ! could with sickening
disgust. and then as / walked | realized
| was free. | was a man and / thanked
God from the bottom of my heart"

SPORTING NOTES.

Ned Hanlon, talking about baseball in
the good old days" said recently that a
player seldom got hurt, and unless he
broke an arm or an ankle would always
stay in the game. He continued; 81 re-
member one player who had a knee
which was in the habit of slipping out
OF joint every now and then. Often I've
seen him wallop long hit and throw
his knee out in rounding first. He would
painfully crawl back to the bag and slip
the bone back into place and 60 on with
the game"
OF late developments have tended to
show that the Wards brothers, owners
of the Brooklyn Feds, own the Colonial
league, class league, operating in
Woonsocket, Pawtucket. Fall River, New
Bedford. Taunton and Brockton. The
owners of the Colonial league clubs are
not generally known, but it is thought
they are New York men with plenty of
money. This refusal to set forth the
names of the owners by the Colonial d.
rectors seems to indicate the Wards as
possibility. This league would make
a fine farming ground for the Federal
league.

When Simplicity Is ostentation.

What we call simplicity in the wealthy
is often the height of vulgar ostentation.
If you offer the wife of rich friend
humble bunch of daisies or bouquet OF
potato blossoms, she will not let them
appear as part of the garniture of her
table unless she expects college profess
sors or poor relatives, thus showing q
tendency to force her ideas. of simplicity
on people who expect quite other things
from her. If poet, for instance, pre-
sents his poems to the amiabe million
aire. and the amiable millionaire re-
spends with copy of his own early
compositions, all the rules of simplicity
are outraged. The poet receives a shock.
He is made to be less serene; he may even
be tempted to dislike the millionaire.
which is wrong, for the end of the fine
art of living is to produce serenity. The
simplicity of the rich ought to be the
exercise of the gift of magniicence. A
really rich man ought to be magnificent;
if he fails to show this gift, the only
valid excuse we ought to accept is that
he has overdrawn his income for char
itIes.-By Maurice Francis Egan in June
Century.

OPERA HOUSE BOOKINGS.
Many Fine Plays Secured for Next
Season.

Manager John E. Hoban has made an
early-season announcement of several
first-cass bookings he has made for
l9l4-l9l5. Most of the pieces enumerat-
ed below are to appear in Barre in the
early fall and early winter Thus far
the local representative of the lessees,
Fox & Eaton, has booked more good pro-
auctions than at any other time in sew
eral years back The bookings are not
complete, as high-class productions are
constantly applying for dates. The sea-
son of l9l3-l9l4 was productive of com
paratively few good pieces on the road,
but the offering which road representa-
tives are showing in advance for the
coming season more than offset the
paucity of fine shows in the season that
closed few weeks ago.
The opening date will be some time
around Aug. 20. Here are some of Man
ager Hobans bookings: Potash and
Permutter," Montague Glass incompar-
able two; To-day a heavy drama
"Sari," Henry Savage's musical marvel,
which is to be accompanied to Barre by
l3-piece orchestra; "Seyen Keys to
hdiupdte, conan ldIIIs pIouuC-
ton; bringing Up Father; "The Mid
night Girl" big musical production;
"The Common Law; Things That
Count" William Brady show; robin
Hood an operate idyll; "The FREELY"
received here with acclaim when Edith
Thayer came to town; Queens of Fol-
lies" another musical show; TOO Many
Cooks" and "The Prince of Tonight
1t viii be noted that seven of these
shows were played in New York for
the first time the past season.

The Latest Pantalettes Not Like
Grandma's.

In the June Woman's Home Compan-
ion Grace Margaret Could, fashion edi-
tor of that periodical, writes an article
entitled skirts Flare Out-Behold the
IPantalettei" in which she comments on
the pantalette of to-day and yesterday
and other new French fashion frivolities.
Following is an extract:
Eyes, grandmamma did wear panta-
lettes and now granddaughter has her
modern critical eye upon them.
"Premet of Paris, who has so quickly
forged ahead into fashionable favor,
says, 'Pantalettes are not only to be
worn but shown
But let me tell you that the new
French pantalettes in this uppest-to-
date age are as far removed from the
pantalettes of the remote and romantic
days of long ago as champagne from
cambria tea.
"Grandmamma certainly in her gid
diest days would never have recognized
these filmy, etheralized creations
Hers were of the prudent and sub
stantial sort, fulfilling to the letter the
now lost mission of clothes to be Gov
ering, and they were only to be ex
posed on the most secluded of clothes
lines
ITO describe the pantalettes that Pre-
met shows-those which belong to the
glazing now-is to tell quite different
story.
"The Paris dress openings in their dis
play of spring and summer gowns
showed many novelties, but Premet's
costumes brought forth the most gasps
and "Ohsr Such filmy, frilly, perky
pantalettes, and peeping out with no
suggestion of timidity from actual hoop
skirts
"Then there were other pantalettes,
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-06-02

direct descendants of the modern tango
garter, created just for the dance. In
fact, the return of the pantalette to
Paris is not so much the revival of an
old quaint fashion as it is a dress out
come of the dance craze. From the tan
60 garter it is only a light and airy step
to the tango pantalette and the next
step after-and this is a strides the
mannish trouser to be worn with the
tailored suit.
"And right here let me say, that the
new tailored skirt, slit at the sides, and
worn with trousers of the same fabric,
is strong swing toward decency.

THE NEW strawberry BED
KATE SAINT MAuR

| Like asparagus, strawberry beds
should be established as soon as the
family has settled in country home,
because it takes a year to get full
crop. There are great many varieties
to choose from. Among the standards
are the Marshall for first early, the
Glen Mary for midseason and the Candy
for late gathering.
! New beds may be started in the fall
! or spring, whichever is the more con-
venient. If the plants are set out IN the
early fall they will bear the following
season, but if planting is delayed until
spring; it will be a year before the vines
fruit August planting is therefore rec
commended to the beginner, except where
there are established beds to take other
plants from.
Strawberries are propagated from run
ners. These, taking roots, develop indi-
dividual crowns. Nurserymen have of
late years taken to sinking small pots
filed with rich earth in the beds; then,
by lifting the ends of the runners on to
the pots, the roots of the young plants
develop within the pot and can later be
removed without retarding the develop
ment, which, of course, greatly facili-
tates the growth of the crown after it is
set out in its permanent position.
Planting
Mark off rows four feet apart and set
the plants two feet apart in the row.
When the plants are received, unpack
and water copiously and leave in a
shady place for twenty-four hours be-
fore setting out. If they are strong
and healthy speciments, growth will
start almost Immediately, so go care
fully through the rows in about two
weeks time, when the plants will have
commenced to throw out runners. Four
for each plant is enough and those
are trained to root as nearly as posi-
BILE before and behind and on each side
of the parent plant, which makes solid
row about twenty-seyen inches wide at
the end of the growing season. The best
way to insure runners roofing is to
press them close to the soil, holding
them in place either with a small stone
or handful of earth.
After growth stops in the fall, the
space between the rows should receive a
dressing of commercial fertilizer and be
well spadcd over. About Dec. | a mulch
of straw or leaves should be spread over
the plants to protect them from frost.
Early the following spring the same
work is repeated, and about May | the
mulch is removed from Immediately
around the plants. but left on the
ground TO keep the berries from coming
in contact with the earth and also to
keep the soil moist about the roots.
