Brattleboro had its first experience
last evening with a merchants carni-
val, and opinion is unanimous that 1t
was an unqualified success. It was, as
advertised, Il night OF iingliug, jo3tIing
jCllity, and the mass OF humanity that
surged through the streets that had
been roped off in the business section
of the village, throwing vast quanti-
ties Of confetti, burning red fire, blow
ing horns and making a general din,
made a spectacle not soon to be for
gotten. There was no roughncss. ev-
erybody was good natured, the program
was carried out like elockWork, the
attractions were thoroughly enjoyed,

favorable The committee in charge.

Yesterday at the fair grounds was I'M
usual in several respects. Fer the first
time in several years overcoats and other
wraps were requirements for personal com
fort, the chill air being in sharp contrast
TO the heat and humidity Of year ago.
More automobiles than ever before were
parked on the grounds, but the arrange
ments were such that their presence IN
terfercd in no way with the comfort or
safety Of pedestrians. Two slight acci-
dents during the progress of the tract,
events added to the excitement Of the af-
teInoon, but no serious cases engaged the
attention of those in charge Of the emer-
gency hospital tent The balloon ascen
sion was delayed by the wind until few
minutes before 6 p. m, but it finally tool
place as advertised, concluding a program
complete in every detail.
President Oscar r. Benson said las
evening that it should be understood
that the postponing of the opening o
the fair one day does not affect in tn,
least the program for the last day =
Friday. All of the attractions original
ly billed for Thursday viii remain oy
er and the PA pace is expected to b
one of the big features of the last da
on the track.

TRAVELLING SALESMAN WON.

If you do not believe in the efficacy
and benefits of prohibition take a trip
through the state of Kansas and you
will experience change of mind At
least, that is what happened to
travelling salesman. G. N Mahon by
name, who lives in South Carolina
Mr.. Mahon was bitter opponent of
prohibition because he believed it
was injurious to business. After max
ing a trip through Kansas he admitted
he was converted. THE facts" he
said, ARE so different from the re-
ports that have been sent out by the
brewers. have found business splen-
did in this state. find a rustling
and progressive people, and the
sight of towns without saloons is an

ton and its strict enforcement. and

truth about Kansas"

OTHER WoMAN's WAY.

Each on his own strict line, we move.
And some find death e'er they find love;
So far apart their lives are thrown
From the twin souls that halve their
own;
And sometimes. by still harder fate,
The lovers meet, but meet too late.
Thy heart is mine, True, true. all true,
The love thy hand. All. no, adieu!
When in batch of some 600 letters
one finds 81 from wives complaining of
the elasticity Of their husbands hearts
each putting forth the same query:
How do these other women gain such
influence much as dislike the sub
ject. these correspondents cannot be
ignored.
When woman has passed success
fully through tender courtship, which
has resulted in marriage, 1t seems to
me she has passed the crisis of uncer-
tainty as to how to win and hold a
mans affection against all ccmers.
These letters, many of them tear
stained, all betray the same wonder
ment, What mystical charm does the
other woman possess to undermine the
happiness and sanctity of the home
and the wife?"
From all that can see or hear, can
learn by tale or history and patient re-
search. the facts, shorn of their ro-
nance and roseate glow, seem to re-
solve into this truth: The woman who

ANOTHER BLOW FOR ALCOHOL.

Employees of the Anaconda Mining
company have been given this warn
ing in bulletin posted by the COM
pany:
Never go to work after drinking
liquor, and If you must drink, stay
home. Experience has proved that a
great many accidents are caused from
drinking intoxicating liquors. 1t will
be remembered that from September
1, 1914, to September IA, all saloons
In Butte were closed; that from Sep
TENDER IA to September "a they were
open only from o'clock in the morn
ing to o'clock at night, and that for
the remainder of the month they were
open only from o'clock in the morn
ing to 10 o'clock at night. The acct
dent records of the Anaconda Copper
Mining company show the following

dents per ten thousand shifts: July,

lives by her wits makes the art of
charming her life study. Very often
the wife. in her zeal to make children
and home all that they should be, neg
lects her own personal appearance.
The woman who has no tangible
hold on man knows that it is fatal to
look unlovely in his eyes She is
dainty to the smallest detail A wife
dares to differ with her husbands opin-
IONS The charmer hears him say black
is white, and that water runs up hill
instead of down, and smilingly agrees
with him though in the depths of her
heart she would give much to be able
to give him a good scathing tongue
flashing now and then, to let him know
the contempt which even she holds
him in
Her life is one of repression, being
sweet, docile and sympathetic, petting
and fondling, no matter how much it
may go against the grain. A wife
might take leaf out of the coquette's
note book and study ways of success
full charming with excellent results.
Unless husbands heart has slipped
away from her altogether she may still
have the hope of retaining him,
tearing away the poison ivy which has
twined himself around him and is
clinging to him tenaeiously, refusing
to be uprooted.
The wife of the tickle, truant hus-
band should first study her own APP
pearance, make herself fair to look
upon. Her treatment of her husband
should be loving and gentle. She has
the great opportunity Of studying and
catering to him in the comforts, likes
and dislikes of his home life. No man
can be harsh for long to a fair woman
who loves him and tells him she is
proud of him, If she is also the mother
of his children. The wives who have
lost have taken the wrong tack with
their husbands. If men do not get pet
ting, sympathy, love and fondness from
their wives, they know they can find
it elsewhere. 1t is the woman who is
the sweetest and tenderest to whom he
turns in moments of encouragement.
Every disappointed wife should read
her own heart and daily life carefully
to see whether or no her husbands de-
linquencies do not lie at her own door.

For entrance into the inner circle
of the elect commend to Uncle Sans
Chamorro relations a chiffonier and
they ask no more of this worlds
boons. The advent of the Americans
to the island of Guam has given the
natives there glimpse of American
made furniture, and their souls long
for it with the longing of mad desire,
writes Hazel Pedlar in the San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
They have been content through
centuries with their woven floor mats
and their stone stoves spread out in
their lean-to kitchens. Through gen.
erations of the Chamorro people men
have been satisfied with the meager
returns from their primitive farming.
They needed money only to pay taxes.
There was little it would buy save
rice in famine times, a little sugar
now and then as luxury, and plug
of tobacco as great extravaganza.
But the coming of the white men,
wearing the uniforms of Uncle Sam,
has changed all that. The introduc-
ton of goods of all classes and the i'm
portation. free OF duty, of all goods
OF American origin, have given the
natives new ideas and new tastes.
They need money to buy the white
mans wares.
But above all, they have seen the
household furniture of American man
ufacture, and they know no peace I'M
til they have acquired at least one sam
pie. They care not whether it be stove
or bureau, chiffonier or table. Posses
sion is the mark of aristocracy; and
ambition, which is akin to yearning,
is abroad in the picturesque little is
lands that dot the broad Pacific.
Furniture Ruling Passion.
Saving for rainy days is not gen.
eral pastime in Guam. The farms

landlords, with ranches rented on
shares to persons of the lower classes.
Their mode of life is similar to Euro
peans and from among them the large
percentage of island officials is drawn.
The middle class citizen is care
free person whose ranch furnishes
him with a comfortable livelihood.
This he increases by his labcrs as a
gold or silversmith or as cabinet max
er. Many of the native Chamorros
turn out rare bits of wood work, which
is used by themselves or eagerly pur-
chased by the American families resi-
dent on the island.
The coming of the United States
marines and their officers has had it's
men of the middle class wear whites
the coat fastened up to the neck in
military fashion, but with tails like
a shirt on the outside of the loose
trousers. They wear a straw hat, or
an imported felt one; and when at
home wear half-slippers without stock
ings. The wife and daughters usually
wear trailing skirt of silk muslin
and a full, low-necked, wide-sleeved
blouse of stiff pima cloth, over which
wide kerchief is frequently draped-
The youngest daughters are often
dressed in American fashion.
The lower classes differ in appear
ance from the higher classes, a fact
which may be due to the lesser infu-
sion of foreign blood in their veins.
They are a peaceful, good-natured and
law-abiding people, industrious after
their own limited fashion and sensi-
tive and clannish to a degree.
No Race Suicide Here.
The natives are homogeneous and
race suicide is thing not to be
feared. A mother thirty-two years old
has been found with fifteen children,
two sets of twins in the number; and
large families are the rule rather than
the exception.
Wedding customs among the Cham
orros are of unique interest The serv-
ice is usually at 4;30 on a Wednesday

PEOPLE BUYING HOMES.

(By w. C. HOUCHINS, West Virginia
Real Estate Dealer.)
Being real estate man. l am in a
position to know whether or not the
sale of whisky affects the growth of
the business of the city. Prior to our
campaign of 1912, the whisky inter
ests claimed that our storerooms
would be vacant, that hundreds of our
dwelling houses would be tenantless,
and that real estate In general would
suffer great depreciation. On the con-
trary, find that the storerooms and
dwelling houses are cow all occupied,
and that there are hundreds of appli-
cants for houses whose wants cannot
be supplied at the present time. /
wish to state that during this period
of depression in business / am selling
homes to men whom have known for
number of years, and who are not
making as much money as they were
two or three years ago. These men
are not investing In homes money
which was saved by them when times
were better, but are making small
cash payments. and seem willing to
assume the obligation of large month
ly payments, which, in most instances,
will induce the owner to sell.
Il think it would be we'll for men In
states which contemplate having a
prohibition election. to study the con-
ditions as they now exist in West Vir-
ginia, If they are hesitating about vot-
ing the dry ticket because they fear it
would hurt their community from e
business standpoint"

Chamorros take little thought of the

ing is the "aristocratic" practice of
the middle and lower classes. The
millennium will come when in every
home there is at least one piece OF
American-made furniture.
Social classes and aristocracy in
Guam cannot be traced along the usual
lines of demarcation. Practically all
the Inhabitants are land owners; many
Of the lower classes have recognized

These are the boundaries to his ma

can add to his life the glory of
walnut bureau or nickel-trimmed
iron stove, truly the gods have been
good to him. And great, therefore,
is his prestige.
Roughly speaking, the distinction
