midst whose optimism in the future of
the livestock industry has already re-
suited in the completion of such a
handsome and well-fttcd sales pavilion,
rs the one on Vernon street.
Not only in New England will the
effects of this new venture be felt; it
is of universal interest throughout the
length and breadth of the whole cOun-
try. The building itself is unique from
one particular point of view, that it is
the first of its kind that has been
planned in the light of experience and
observation of the development of cattle
barns of the demands of auctionecring
and administrative efficiency; with pro
portional accommodations for patrons
and service, and anticipated facilities
for the manufacturer and demonstra-
tor of dairy machinery and appliances.
The onestory barns are arranged
around the central two-story pavilion,
in such q way that access to and egrcss
from the small groups of stalls is not
only most convenient for the reception
and shipping of cattle, but also serves
the dual purpose of easy accessibility
to and from the auction arena for ship
pers and purchasers as well as animals,
and insurcs the most positive security
for the animals in emergency. The
grouping of stalls enables shippers to
keep their stock together under their
own care with the least inconvenience,
and permits the handling of feed and
litter with minimum movement of the
cOnVeyor.

SCHOOL GIRL ASPHYXIATED.
Muriel Crary of Springfield (Vt) Was
. Away from Home and Unfamiliar
With Illuminating Gas.

A child s mfamiliarity with the use
of Illuminating gas caused the death,
Thursday, Nov. %, of Muriel, II, daugh
ter of Fred c. Crazy of Spencer Hol-
low, in the home of Sanford f. Gallup
in Springfield. Her body was found in
bed next morning by Mrs. Gallup. That
death was accidental there is no ques-
ton.
She attended the Springfield high
school, but as Spencer Hollow is several
miles out of the village she was staying
with family nearer the village. On ac-
count of the hard rain Thursday after
noon she decided net to ride home and
so stayed with the Gallup family, who
live in a tenement over Benjamin
Shaw's hardware store.
There was gas jet in the room given
her, but because she was not used to
gas Mrs. Gallup gave her a lamp. 1t
is assumed that her curiosity got the
better of her, as she opened the valve
Of the gas jet and neglected to close it.
In the morning about o'clock Mrs
Gallup detected the odor of gas coming
through the keyholc in the door of the
girl $ room. The door was locked, but
the key had been removed, so Mrs
Gallup was able to put another key in
to the lock and open the door. She
found the room filled with gas and
quickly closed the valve.
The girl was dead, having been as
phyxiated, but lay in bed just as She
had fallen asleep. The key to the door
| lay on the bureau.

An episode, marking the progress
made in the purebred livestock indus
try of New England, has recently oc-
Cured at Brattleboro, VT, where the
erection of a magnificent sales pavilion
by The Purebred Live Stock Sales Com
pany of Brattleboro, VT, Inc, has be-
come an accomplished fact and re-
bounds to the credit of the enterprising
promoters of the scheme, says the Hol-
stein-Friesian Register. Holstein breed
ers have once again shown the remark
able initiative characteristic to lovers
of the reproducing Black and Whites
in the Inauguration of this great pro
jeet, the success of which has elected
extremely favorable comment from
many of the greatest and most intlu-
entail Holstein breeders in the United
States. The consignors to the sales
have been men whose reputation as
breeders stand second to none in the
country and the prices fetched for cat
tie have given eminent satisfaction to
BUYERS and sellers alike. 1t goes with
out saying that the future prospects of
the company, whose efforts to promote
the sale of Purebred dairy cattle and
thus materially add to the national
movement toward better and more pros
porous dairying) are to be highly COM
mended, are extremely bright and
Brattleboro and vicinity, as well as the
whole of New England, are to be con-
graduated on having men in their

The central pavilion is entered from
the outside through a spacious lobby
devoted to exposition uses, leading to
the office, to the arena and stalls, and
bv two stairways to the amphitheatcr.
The horscshOe-s shaped amphitheater
faces the auctionccr S pulpit and 400
seats rising from the arena to the lev
81 of the second floor. The auctiOnecr S
pulpit dominates the arena and the en-
try and exit from the stalls and con
meets directly with the Office. From
the upper level of the amphitheater
there is direct access to the restaurant
facilities over the lobby and to the
quarters for the help.
The compactness of the layout not
only insurcs the maximum of con
venience, but also the minimum of cost
The combination of the two stories and
one story in the elements of the plan
insurcs adequate and direct outside
lighting and vcntilating. The plan can
well become n standard throughout the
country for structures of this purpose
as the parts are proportional so that
without essential change in relation to
each other, the capacity of the whole
plant can be modified to meet any re-
quirement
The plans were prepared by Messrs
Brockway and Collin, architects, OF
Syracuse, n. Y, with special reference
to the local necessities and the adop
ton of the general scheme elsewhere
should be based upon their expert ser
vice.

PRINCIPAL TALKS ON SCHOOL.
Glasses in Session for Inspection by
Parents-No Complaint as to Two
Sessions.

In spite of the very disagreeable
weather Thursday evening, Nov %,
large percentage of parents of high
school pupils were present at the con-
ference of high school teachers and par
ents of pupils of the school, which fol
lowed an evening of inspecting some of
the classes at work and a brief talk by
Principal f. B. Smith on the work of
the high school,
Glasses in science, commercial de-
partments, household economies and
manual training were in session and
an hour was spent by the parents in
inspecting the work Of the various class
es. The wireless telegraph station on
the third floor of the building and the
domestic science and manual training
classes especially appealed to visitors.
At 8.45 O'Clock Principal Smith
talked to the guests of the evening and
the teachers in the main room of the
building. He said that the constant
addition of new apartments and new
studies to the curriculum had made it
absolutely necessary to have two scs-
sions of the high school. daily instead
of conducting it as formerly with one
from a. IN. to l p. M. The only al.
tentative of two sessions would be to
have all pupils either bring thcil
lunches or buy lunches at the high
school and spend only half an hour foi
luncheon. This might permit the clos
ing of the session at'2 O'Clock. He sale
that at present about 60 of the pupils
buy their lunches at school. In defense
of the two sessions daily he said thai
no one had said that it was a bat
scheme.
He suggested that it would be wei
if parents who had some grievanc,
would talk with teacher, for it nigh
be that what was wrong was not en-
tirely the fault of the teacher.
The high school teachers have de
cided to take additional interest in tn
social activities of the pupils, and a Sc
ries of high school parties is to be on
of the features. The Unitarian paris
house has been offered free for fou
class parties and the offer has been ac
cepted.
The reception to the members of tn
freshman class is to be held as earl
in December as it can be arranged a
the high school building and will be fo
lowed by dance that evening in tn
Armory. There will be some sort of IA
entertainment at the high school be
fore the party goes to the dance hal
The meeting then dissolved and tn
parents were given opportunity to NEE
the teachers.
