TALK OF THE TOWN

| Mrs. O. ID. Tracy, who has been pass
ing several days with relatives in Mont.
pelier, was a visitor in the city yester'
day while on her way home to Chel-
sea.
Louis Holzhauer returned yesterday
to his home in Troy, N. ", after having
passed few days In the city as the
guest of A. G. Miles of South Main
street.
The Winners class of the First Bap-
fist church held their monthly business
meeting at the home OF their teacher,
Mrs. James Grearson, Hill street, Friday
evening" After reports were read and
accepted, the following officers were
elected President, Clarence Rogers; sec
rotary, Max Smith; treasurer, Gladstone
Clark; reporter, Burton Jones. After
the election, refreshments were served.
Somewhere on the heights reports OF
rather mild sub-zero readings were rife
this morning, but people who frequent
the fats at daybreak are OF the opinion
that the mercury recession was a most
noticeable feature OF the coolest day of
the winter. Minus 23 and 25 registra-
tions are youched for by well-meaning
weather observers, but the average read
ing throughout the city probably would
indicate minus Is mark. Forecasts
for the week end have il that warmer
weather is moving in from the West,
but there will probably be another zero
reading for the delectation of Sunday
morning observers.

A Quincy Mass, editor who no doubt
had written many times about the fool
ishness of leaving poisons around handy
for the children, went to the bureau
drawer one evening recently and took q
corrosive subimate tablet instead of a
headache tablet as he supposed. The
headache tablet and the corrosive subli-
mate tablet were in the same drawer of
the bureau. The editor did not take the
trouble to make careful inspection by
means of artificial light and he picked
the corroding substance. When he re-
covers (which all hope he willl, that edi-
tor will be in position to resume writ
ing on the evils of mixing poisons and
headache tablets, for his own guidance as
well as for the enlightenment OF others.
He will have the advantage of narrowing
experience to guide his pen.

der. This has been due largely to th'
fact that Hans Wagner has been care
ful of his physical condition and has moi
followed the fast pace which many pro
fessional ball players elect to follow
when they see golden income of ample
proportions come to them. Hans Wag-
ner has kept his head. And now, despite
the fact that he is living on borrowed
time in the baseball world, so to speak
he nevertheless is 9going strong and
bids fair to add several more years to
his career of usefulness as player. The
youth who hopes to succeed in athletic
career would do well to copy after old
Honus Wagner.

The suggestion was made recently BY
the Rutland Herald in presenting list
OF representations that Hugh J. M
Jones of Montpelier might be sent as a
delegate to the Republican national con
vention, or rather, the contemporary
stated that Mr.. Jones will be promi-
nently mentioned" as a candidate for
that position. Such is already the case;
Mr.. Jones has been prominently men
toned as a candidate for delegate, and
it might be added that he has been fla
yorably mentioned. Mr.. Jones has not
aspired to official position outside of his
home community or outside of the COM
mereial organization in which he and his
granite manufacturing firm play impor-
tant parts; but that Is not to say that
he is not fitted for higher position or
more far-reaching work. Mr.. Jones is
ftted, and fitted admirably, for such a
position as delegate to the Republican
national convention. He is keen bust
ness man, having been largely respon-
sible for building up the largest single
granite manufacturing concern in the
Barre granite belt; and he is quite CON
yersant with the political situation as
regards the party of his utilization. He
is of the progressive type of yermonter,
one of those men who are doing much
to advance the interests of the state;
and the state would be well represented
were the Republican party to select him
as delegate to the Chicago convention.

their first game in the basketball league

The efficient work of Pape, the little
guard, was largely responsible for the
holding of the visitors in the final pc
Rod, for he kept so close TO Houston,
the giant forward, that the latter was
unable to even try for basket. Hous-
ton proved TO be the scoring factor for
Stowe in the first period, making 10 OF
the Ia points and between the halves
Pape was instructed to give his undi-
vided attention to the big forward. He
followed instructions to the letter and
while he kept his opponent well guarded,
his teammates and especially Clark, sue

victory.
The game was fast and remarkably
free from rough work and fouls and had
the visitors had another man as good as

easy victory would have been nip and
