On the contrary, he gave no comfort

INQUIRIES INTO DEATHS.
Two Hearings Held by the Public Ser
vice Commission.

MONTPELIER, Dee 1S.-Two hear
ings were held Friday at the state
house before the Vermont public ser
vice commission. The board investi-
gated the death of Peter Narcotic, who
was killed last fall while trimming one
of the street lamps of the Ttnney Flee
trie company at Montpelier.
The company introduced evidence to
show that Narcotic died from suffo-
cation rther than by electrocution
Witnesses testified to finding the man 5
body lying face downward with the
nose and mouth buried in the mud and
water.
c. j. Cookson testified that he be-
lieved Narcotic received shock
which was sufficient to render him un-
conscious, but not strong enough to kill
him and that he suffocated while lying
in the mud
It developed that the light was hung
from pole belonging to the New
England Telephone and Telegraph com
pany and as that company was not rep
resented the hearing was continued
| until Jan. L.
Attorney General H. G. Barber OF
Brattleboro appeared for the state and
| Fred T.. Gleason for the company.
There was also a hearing on thC
death Of stephen Ala, about a year an(
n half old, vino was killed by Mont
pclier and Wells River switch engine
at a crossing in Barre about six weeks
ago. Members of the engine crew ties
tilted that the death was unavoidable

HEAVY TIMBER CUT.
Big Business Expected in the Vermont
Forests This Season.

BURLINGTON, Dee 1S-The amount
of timber cut IN Vermont this winter
will be much larger than in several
years according to the managers Of two
large lumber companies III this city.
This, it is believed, will be brought
about by the steadily increasing prices
of lumber, hard wood flooring, white
pine and spruce having already ad
vanced and other grades being expected
to advance in price in the spring.
Th local lumber companies are still
laboring under the difficulty Of secur-
ing raw material from Canada, this
having been brought about by the car
embargo.
1t is expected that the cut this win
ter win include both hard and soft
wood and that the lumber will be used
largely at home. Shipments have been
greatly hampered by the ear shortage.

Christmas brings train of memo

The children Of the neighborhood
liked to go to see Mrs. Woodruff for
she always opened the cooky jar or
brought out pan of apples.
OF all the children in the neighbour
hood who came to see her Mrs. Wood
hull liked Lisbeth Baker best. Her
mother being dead, Lisbeth lived with
her gloomy, rheumatic grandmother at
the end of the street.
She had only been here year, hav-

she said; my grandma Hull. We just

Mrs. Woodruff. You'll not come near
me. What'll l do, all alone?"
"We'u all come over and see you
Christmas afternoon" said Lisbeth,
dancing home to tell Grandmother
Baker.
Mrs. Woodruff became, in this way,
the possessor of a Christmas plan. Il
must have a little treat for them" she
said. She got out her good white
dishes, and set the big table in the sit
ting room. In the center she placed a
blooming red geranium. "Tll make il

exclaimed, and she wrapped into three
neat parcels a length of each of hel

She excused herself and went to the
kitchen. Lisbeth danced round and
round the gay table, and Grandma Hull
was left alone in the front room.
Presently she followed Mrs Wood

door between them and Lisbeth. Don't

kindly, broken words.
