The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-12-13

A railroad train ran over two lines OF
hose and shut off the only water pres
sure that was being directed against q
burning house IN Belmont, Mass. As a
result, the house burned before other
hose could be brought up. The same
carelessness, only on lesser scale, was
noticed in the fire of Wednesday morning
in Barre when teams and automobiles
were driven over several lines of hose
with reckless abandon when it would
have been possible to make slight de-
tour and avoid the hose. No lines Of
hose were cut by this maneuver, but it
must be admitted that the use of hose
for a highway subjected the fabric in the
hose to considerable strain and probably
did some damage to them. Eventually
the area covered by the lines of hose was
roped off and thus the drivers of horses
and automobiles were prevented from do
ing that which a little thought would
have shown them was harmful even If
not detrimental to the efforts of the fire.

Barres old town hail." landmark in
the business center of the city, has stood
many trials and tribulatiens and, as
usual, it seems to have emerged from the
fire of Wednesday morning in much bet
ter shape than it was possible to imagine
while the fire was at its height and when
it was impossible to enter the building
because of the dense smoke. Indeed, the
greater part of the loss was probably due
TO smoke and water rather than to fire;
and the ancient structure, barring broken
windows and other signs of the firemen's
struggle, presents about the same exter-
nal appearance as it did on Tuesday
morning with perhaps the paint bright
ened up by the application of much wa,
ter. The old structure went through a
fire scare a score of years ago but came
out practically intact: and many years
prior to that it went through the expe
rience of having the roof smashed in by
a great accumulation of snow. Notwith
standing these trials of major conse-
quenees, the town hall stands as a
memorial of another and entirely differ
ent Barre. Incidentally, il may be re-
marked, too, that the contents. of the
structure were not so completely ruined
as it was thought when the fire was rag
ing and before an examination could be !
made. Possibly the first estimate of the
loss, set at $4,000, might almost be cut
in two.

AMERICAN THEATRICALs IN WAR

AMERICAN THEATRICALS IN WAR
There is whole lot of fol de -rol about
firing the first shot in the war against
Austria, just as there was a lot of child
play in connection with the published ac-

troops into battle against the Germans
They set the stage for the initial shot by
the United States against Austria in
much the same way as they prepare a
scenario for movie show, each actor in
his place and even an enemy trench con

an American congressman, who happened
to be handy by, stepped forward and
pulled the string which let loose volca-

on Sunday. Perhaps that is why the

with packed mass of ice at the present

BOMB PLACED At
GOVERNORS HOME
AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO
AsSASSiNATE GOVERNOR sPRY
AND FAMILY.
Bomb Buried In Snow on Sidewalk
Leading to Front Porch of Gov
ernor's Home Was Powerful
Enough to Wreck Building.

Salt Lake City.-The discovery of a
bomb in his front yard Monday morn.
ing frustrated what is regarded by
police authorities as plot to assassi
nate Gov. William Spry and his fam
lily and destroy his home. The bomb
was found at 5 o'clock buried in the
snow on the sidewalk leading to the
governors front porch, and three feet
from the porch steps, directly In the
path the governor followed when he
returned home at o'clock Sunday
from trip to Washington.
Police officials characterize the
bomb as a deadly missile, powerful
enough to have wrecked not only the
governors home, but adjoining
houses, had it been exploded. AS the
bomb is one that can be exploded by
concussion or friction, their theory is
the plotters expected the governor to
step on or stumble over the bomb as
he approached the steps.
Richard #. Neslen, local agent for
the Burlington Route, whose home ad-
joins that of Governor Spry, uncov-
cred the bomb while he was sweeping
the snow from Governor Spry's walk.
After discovery of the bomb friends
of Governor Spry posted reward of
$500 with Chief White for information
that will lead to the arrest and con-
viction of the person or persons re-
sponsible for the deed.
On the theory that the plot was in
stigated by members of the ]. w. w.
to avenge the execution of Joseph
Hillstrom, the police Monday night
arrested six members of the organi-
cation and are holding them in Jail for
investigation. Four were arrested in
shack at Ninth South and Jordan
river and the other two were taken
in custody in Murray. They gave
their names as Edward, Till, Charles
and John Eselius and Oscar and Rob-
ert Erickson.
With the finding of the bomb, Of
ficers explain the explosion Sunday
night at the home of James e. Jen-
nings, which is directly in the rear of
the governors home. The attempted
explosion at the Jennings residence
were planned by the same men, Of
ficers believe.
The explosion at the Jennings home,
according to police theory, was in
tended merely to attract the guards
on duty at the governors home to the
scene of the explosion to give the
would-be assassins opportunity to
plant" the bomb in the governors
yard without detection.

STORIES AID TO TEACHING
They Are OF Little Value, However,
Unless Teacher Enters Into
Recital With Enthusiasm.

All children love stories. The earli-
est memories of most Of us are inter-
twined with the wonderful narratives
of fairies and COLLINS told by grand
parents at bedtime. And SO vivid We're
the impressions made, that even now,
in spite of our scientific knowledge and
logical reasoning, we sometimes find
ourselves subconsciously believing it
all.
This natural love of stories may be
and should be made the basis of all
historical teaching. But however seri-
Gus our purposes may be, the storieN
themselves should be a source of joy
to the hearer.
Conscientious teachers, taking up
the task of storytelling as an added
obligation of schoolroom duty, wonder
why the results are not what the evil
dence of other story-tellers had led
them to believe. Storytelling as a
duty, Enlightened and unbrightened by
genuine love of the story and an
eagerness for the joy it Is to bring to
the listeners, can never prove sue
cess.
The story-teller must enter with all
his heart and all his enthusiasm into
the life and beauty of the story he is
telling, in order to achieve the best re-
suits. Without this he cannot win the
response of his hearers, nor reap the
reward which should be his own.

Water Hole Is Dry by Day.

A curious form of water-hole is
found in the deserts of western Aus
traNa, dry by day but yielding an
abundant supply of water by night.
The flow of water is preceded by
weird kissing and sounds of rushing
sir. On examining one it was found
that the water supply occurred in
long, narrow trench. at the bottom of
which was a thin plate of gneiss Ga
species of rock arranged in layers),
separated by cavity from the main
rock mass beneath. Apparently the
heat of the day causes this plate to
expand in the form of a depression,
in which the water retreats. When it
cools and contracts at night it forces
first air and then water back into the
trench.

Proper View of Life.

Why is it, wonder, that the little
boy almost always imagines that out
side of home is to be found the larger
liberty? Why do young men fondly
dream that yonder, always yonder, is
to be found business opportunity?
Why does the dissolute man conclude
that, outside the common virtues of
society, he is to find the larger life?
For you, my son. will sometime find
that your largest liberty was in the
old home, where, if there was author
ity, there was also deep and abiding
love; and you, my friend, will find
that others succeeded in your home
town, while you failed in the world;
and you, my liberty-loving man, will
most surely realize, that in the COM
mon virtues of the simply good life
is to be found what you seek in the
by-paths of the world. Find the wealth
that lies everywhere about you. Prac-
tice the virtues that you know. Cher
ish the love that is yours now. Value
the friends that you have known; and
in the superficial you will find the
profound, and in the simple things
the things eternal.-St. Johns Bulle-

WRITING Is MANUAL LABOR
In Five Hours Average Penman's Fin.
gers Travel Over a Third of
Mile of Paper.

The average person has no idea how
much muscular effort is expended in
writing letter.
A rapid penman can write 80 words
a minute. To do this he must draw his
pen through space of 1914 feet. In
40 minutes his pen travels furlong,
and in five hours third of a mile.
In writing an average word the PEN
man makes in the neighborhod of 10
curves of the pen. Thus in writing 80
words to the minute his pen would
make 480 curves, 2S,S00 curves in an
hour and S6,400,000 in year of 300
days of ten hours each.
The man who succeeded in making
100000 marks with pen in a month
was not at all remarkable. Many men
make 100000 while merely writing.
