jave Desert a few months ago with his
sparring partner, Tom Kennedy. a very
powerful middleweight pugi.ist. Fair
banks, you know, is remarkable athlete.
Fairbanks and Tom came out of a shop
and the town Badman was sitting in a
buggy at the sidewalk edge talking TO a
cowboy. Douglas passed the head of the
horse. and the cowboy asked the Badman
who in ell them two NUTS was. The
Badman said they were just two blank
blank movie actors monkeying around
here. Tom Kennedy went back to the
buggy, took the Badman by his collar
bones and slammed him upright on the
sidewalk, lifting him over the wheel. Tom
looked at him. Then he said to Douglas:
1--WE didn't do that right and proper-let's
rehearse II again." He picked the Bad
man up by the collarbones again and
flung him over the wheel into the buggy
Tom and Douglas went into the shack
came out again. talking imaginary movie
stun. Then Douglas reached up, used
the collarbones. and stood the Badman
ON the sidewalk. Tom said, you didn't
do that right" Douglas used the collar
bones again and hurled the fellow back
over the buggy. Tom commented: Hell
That's wrong again. Try it once more
They went back into the shack and came
out with business Of conversation. The
Badman was making tracks toward tn,

BIG TRADE WEEK
CLOSED SATURDAY
A Large Number of Shoppers Came to
Barre During the Period and Took
Advantage of the Many OPP
portunities offered BY
Barre Stores.

Weather conditions conducive to trave
/ by auto and team made Saturday the
busiest day of Barre trade week. Al.
| though heavy rains that prevailed
throughout the week were not wholly
favorable TO shoppers, the volume of bus
mess was unusually large from Satur-
day, June II, until the close Of trade
week Saturday evening. Naturally the
| biggest days business was registered on
the final day, and while the merchants
were not expecting such an influx of out
of town shoppers, it may be said in all
truth that they were prepared.
Daily, The Times Office was called upon
to handle many trade slips and good
many dollars were paid out for carfares.
Hundreds of people were in the city and
thousands of dollars were spent by them.
BY many of the merchants trade week
was described to-day as an unqualified
success.
One merchant is quoted as saying that
last week was the biggest six days bus
mess recorded on his books with the ex-
ception OF two Christmas weeks, as they
are known to the trade Another ex-
pressed MS opinion that tne trace week
had stimulated business beyond his most
sanguine hopes. A third merchant, while
going on record as being pleased with his
volume of sales, said he felt that the op-
portunity to get acquainted with many
ut-of town people, whom he had never
known before, was worth more than the
money diverted to his cash register.
As for those who took advantage OF
Barre's trade week it is to be chroncled
that the shoppers were wholly satisfied
with the inducements offered them to
trade in this city There were those who
surprise that Barres mercan-
tile establishments afford so many OPP
portunities for tho retail buyer Many
who came to the city from distance
were amply repaid by attractive carfare
rebates
