A WONDERFUL CURIO
Ferdinand Bedoir Constructs Jardin-
ere and Stand of Rare Old Pieces
of China, Porcelain, Etc.

Among interesting curios in town
is a combination jardinere and plant
stand of intricate and beautiful design
made and designed by Ferdinand Be-
doir of Sc Maple street. The work,
which is of a unique and exceptional
character, was done by Mr.. Bedoir in
his spare time after coming home
from the Fairbanks shops where he is
employed.
1t took two years of spare time to
complete the work, which is COM
posed of between four and FIVE thous-
and very small pieces of china, por-
celain and French mirrors pieced
together in well executed designs, and
set in white lead putty over a form
made of hard pine. The pieces of
the porcelain, china and glass which
are of triangular, rectangular and
many other shapes, are worked to-
gether in a pattern that is both har-
monisus in color and in lines. The
edges are concealed by a fine layer
of gold and silver leaf which adds to
the beauty of the plan.
The stand, which is 81 inches in
height, consists of base upon which
is set a pillar, the work on which is
done in such a way as to give a spiral
effect. The pillar is surmounted by
an overhanging top upon which a
jardinere is securely built in and that
can be used to hold a ported palm or
other plant.
The porcelain and china was some
of a collection of broken pieces of the
ware that Mr.. Bedoir had been col
lecting for a number of years, some
of which was over 200 years old.
Some of the pieces were picked up
in Canada and in different parts Of
the state by himself and others were
sent to him by friends who knew Of
his idea> There are pieces from OF
iowa. Toronto, Montreal and Quebec
in Canada, also from st. Paul, Mime
apolis, Sioux City. cities in Massa-
chusetts and from other cities in diff
erent parts of the United States.
Besides containing many floral de-
signs, there are also small designs Of
cats, dogs, deer and other animals set
in relief. Crockery has been used
containing pictures of places Of in
terest in this country and Canada.
One picture of note was of George
Washington, which was on an old
piece of blue willow ware and had
been broken in such a way as to give
a very pleasing effect. Upon the
base vases have been set, in which
flowers can be kept.
The whole is placed in an espec-
tally constructed octagonial glass
case which affords it protection.
Many who have known about the
work Mr.. Bedoir has done have been
in to inspect it and as the stand is
of an exceptional character it would
be worth anyone's time to go in and
see it, as justice cannot be done in
a written description. It can be seen
any time by calling at Sc Maple
street.

AUTO BADLY DAMAGED
When Preston Connor Steers Car OF
+. @. Sherburne Into Fence TO
Avoid ColIision-Damage &235.

A bad auto accident occurred Wed
nesday night on the Danville road
when in an endeayor to avoid a
crash with a heavy car that was
speeding toward him Preston Common,
driving the Buick touring car Of IT.
c. Sherburne, turned into the fence
and bank at the side Of the road.
The car remained right side up so
none of the occupants were injured
except for few cuts from flying glass
Of the windshield. The damage to the
auto is estimated at $685..
The other car continued on its way
in the darkness.
The accident happened about mid
night when Conner was returning
with four other young men from
Barre where they had been attend
ing the ball game between Montpelier
and Barre. They were proceeding at
"a moderate rate of speed and were In
a narrow spot in the road when Con-
nor saw what was evidently a heavy
car coming speedily toward him. he
turned out halfway to let them by
thinking of course that they would DO
the same. But when they we're al
most upon him and did not slow up
he chose between either crashing into
them with certainty of seriously IL
not fatally injuring the occupants of
one or both cars, or going into the
bank and fence at the side of the
road with chance of getting through
without much damage. No one was
hurt in the car except Conner who
received a cut on the face from a
piece of the windshield, but the car
was badly damaged
The machine was run to the Gale
donia garage under it's own power,
where an inventory of the damage
was taken and it was found that both
mudguards were crumpled, the rad
iator badly broken, both headlights
and the windshield smashed. The
driving shaft will have to be replaced
and there are other repairs that will
have to be made.
The loss is fully covered by insur-
ance.
