plant Against Alfred Crocker-Li-
censes Revoked.

Alfred NJ. Crocker, who was arrested
last week on charge of driving an au-
tomobile while intoxicated appeared
in the municipal court Monday morning
before Special Justice T.. j. Waterman.
He was represented by Attorney Har-
old T.. Whitney.
States Attorney o. b. Hughes
changed the original complaint to one
charging reckless driving and to that
charge Croker entered a plea of nolo
contendere. The court imposed fine
of $50 with costs of $1S.05, and the
money was promptly forthcoming.
The young man had an operator s IL
cense to drive an automobile in both
Massachusetts and Vermont, and it was

Songs by Miss Hutchins.

The Woman s club met Wednesday in
the banquet hall of Odd Fellows tenn
pie with good attendance. 1t was
voted to meet in that place hereafter,
at the discretion of the program COM
mittee. The program for the afternoon
consisted of reading from the Kinchin
Stories by the author, Mr.. Marion
Franklin Ham of Reading, Mass, and
southern melodies sung by Miss Mary
Hutchins. Mr.. Ham read three stories,
The Educational Value of Huckleber-
ry Tarts, His Grudge Against Freedom,
and Marse Andy s Christmas Party.
The stories are unusual and present
Uncle Kinchin as one of the quaintest
and most delightful characters ever
presented to the public. Mr.. Ham has
acquired the negro dialect to an ex-
tent that is surprising and reproduces
the speech and mannerisms of the old
time Negro without apparent effort.
Miss Hutchins delighted all with her
songs, giving just the right atmosphere
for the stories. She was sympathetically
accompanied by Miss Catherine Wood

URGED STATE TO BUY.
2,300Acre Tract of Land Adjoining
State Forest on Camei's HUMP.

State Forester Halves and b. A.
Chandler have returned from Hunting
ton, where they looked over a tract
of land about 1890 acres in ex-
tent, adjoining the state forest on
Camel's Hump. Mr.. Halves has secured
an option on the tract and has recon-
mended to Governor Gates that the
state purchase the same. There is much
valuable timber, consisting principally
of spruce and birch, on the land, prac
tically none of which has been burned
over, which would soon be cut off if
the state did not make the purchase,
so for this reason it is desirable to buy
the tract now. If this is done, it would
make the total area of the Camel IS
Hump state forest over $500. 1t is
also of considerable Importance to pro-
tect the two or three streams which
have their source on this tract. The
tract is near some of the property left
by Colonel Battell to Middleburv col.
lege.

George E. Crowell.


The late George L. Crowell of Brat
tleboro was promising example OF
what thrift and energy, assisted by
keen mentality, can do in the upbuild
ing of ones position in the financial
world. Mr.. Crowell started his business
life by straining every effort to wipe
out mortgage on the home farm in
Hopkinton, N. H., saving $50 a month
out of salary of $50. In the height of
his business career he was the head of
an important publishing concern. pro,
prietor of a great water system, large
owner of real estate and participant in
many other business ventures in and
about Brattleboro. Not all could attain
the position which Mr.. Crowell could
reach, but practically everyone could
better his condition by employing the
same methods which Mr.. Crowell en-.
ployed. The trouble is that few of
them are willing to make the sacrifices
which enabled Mr.. Crowell to make n
start.

Discomfort.

The mail is full of letters,
And the soup is full of peas,
There s sugar in the coffee,
And the yard is full of trees;
The fields are full of stubblc,
And there grass upon the ground
But the world is full of trouble
If we only look around.
The corn is full of kernels,
There are lilies in the brooks;
The towns are full of people,
There arc stories in the books;
The orchard S full of apples
And the meadow full of hay
But what troubles we discover,
If we re only built that way.
The lilac s full of blossoms, y
And the trees are full of leaves,
The meadow s full of clover,
And the fields are full of sheaves,
The bread is full of -four,
And the rain is damp and wet
But how much there is to fret us,
If we really want to fret.
The bees are full of honey,
And the apples full of juice,
The banks are fun of money,
But-be happyl What's the usel
The beach is full of pebbles,
There 3 water in the creek
But nothing really suits us,
If we really want to kick
