STATE NEWS NOTES.

a sensation was caused at Burlington
Monday night by the discovery that the
announced gift of $4,000 as made to
the De Goesbriand hospital fund was
a forgery. \ gift in the form of a note
was sent to Bishop j. j. Rice, purport-
ing TO be signed by Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
R. Wells, in which is was stated they
promised to pay 100000 When news
OF the matter reached Mr.. Wells, he
promptly denounced it as forgery and
the committee raising funds have
turned the matter over to Postmaster
Burke.
Within the past week the Hardwicl1
museum has received two relics which
are 1879 years old. They are a well-pre-
served flint gun and canteen carried by
Jonathan Eastman during the Revolu-
tionary war of 1776. This gun saved
the life of the bearer according to an
interesting story connected Herewith.
close inspection of the barrel and
woodwork on the gun show a small
notch, and this was made by a sabre
IN the hands of an opponent, who at
tempted to kill Mr. Eastman, and, to
protect himself, Mr.. Eastman drew the
gun up in front of his face, and the
sabre striking the barrel saved Mr.
Eastman from being badly cut, it not

Fireliqht photographs.

1t is worth noting that the most sue
cessful freight photographs do not
show the fire at all. The subject is ar
ranged so that the fire is screened in
some way from the lens. The mental
piece, fire-irons, rug, ETC., are included,
however, and the fire itself IS suggest
ed by the lighting. On the whole this
is the best way of doing what we
want. If we arrange things on these
lines, with the Illumination proceeding
from the spot where the fire is sup
posed to be, we can get true fire.

ally used may be electric, magnesium.

foot of glass in French window may
be used, with q sheet of white paper
on the floor to serve as a reflector, and
the whole of the rest blocked up. A
figure posed against this will give a
very successful freight effect.

RESPONSIBILITY is ON FATHER
Travelling Along Wrong Road When He
Finds Himself Too Busy to Talk
With His Boy

The father and son movement is one
of the best and most sensible things
we have heard of for long time. That
Is because it proposes to accomplish
results through using natural human
Instincts naturally. 1t appeals to the
deepest of human feelings-loye. 1t
goes about to remind fathers of some
thing they may have forgotten and to
tell boys something they may not have
known. You can get at this better if
you sit down and talk confidentially
with some other fathers boy. He will
tell YOU things your own boy cannot.
In his wiStful earneStneSs, you will
discover that there are times when a
boy has a real matter of grave inn
portance TO him that finds his father
too busy to be bothered 1t will make
YOU stop and think as you realize that
this little fellow couldn't come to any
other conclusion than that his dad was
Indifferent. Fathers know better; IA
theirs remember pretty well when they
We're boys, but they don't remember
just how sensitive q boy. is TO. the
worst of reDuffs, that of being thought
silly. Now. the boys need to be told
this about their fathers, that they are
not Indifferent But after all the big
gest thing is to tell fathers, for it IS
their business to understand and theirs
is the reSponsibility.-M Jour-

SCHOOL BOOKS USED
BY TRAMP FOR FUEL
Man Held on the Charge of Entering
Ferrisburg Schoolhouse and
Burning Books.

MIDDLEBrRY. Jan. -. 49, When the
pupils Of one Of the FCrrisburg schools
arrived NJ the schoolhousc yesterday
morning they discovered that most Of
their books as well as those belonging
10 the town were missing and an inspcc-
ton Of the stove in the room disclosed
the fact that they had been used for
fuel. There were also evidences that
some one had slept in the room the
night before.
An investigation was az once started
and IL was learned that "A tramp had
been seen in the vicinity OF the school.
\ description of the man was tclc-
phoncd to Deputy Sheriff Noble j. san
ford Of this town and when late i'm the
afternoon a stranger applied at the
county jail for a night 4 lodging he was
~ once placed under arrest Lv Deputy
Sanford, who was armed with warrant
issued by states Attorney Allen r..
Sturtcvant.
The man gave the name 0f William
Thomas, bat refused 10 give his resi-
dcncc or tell anything further about
himself. He will Doe given hearing
today.
II is alleged that the man broke into
the schoolhouse where he spent the
night and as the fuel provided for the
sckoolhousc stove was not dry enough
10 suit him he kept the drc going the
greater part Of the night, feeding in
book after book, until he had nearly
exhausted the supply.

Ashuelot Postoflce Robbed.

About 3 clock Saturday morning
someone entered the store of 7. J. Don
ovan in Ashuelot, in which the postof-
flee is located, and stole several dollars
in change.
Entrance was gained by breaking out
the glass in the door and springing the
lock. The rest was easy, even for an
inexperienced crook, which the crude
job seemed to indicate.
The noise was heard by several who
live near, and there is one report that
an automobile was seen carrying away
several men who came out of the store.
This hardly seems plausible, for a gang,
if there was such, would be likely to
play for larger stakes. The work APP

HAS HAD VARYING MEANINGS
Term Casualty" Not Always EN-
poyed in the Way in Which 1t
Is Used Today.

When did the word casualty" first
assume the modern specialized mean
ing with which we are unfortunately
so familiar? / think 1t must have been
at the time of the Crimean war; for
in the latest volume of DiSraeli's
Life | have come across the following
passage, dated September ,, 1855:
Lady Londonderry is in despair about
her son, who is now in the trenches.
Casualties, she says, and truly,
what a horrible word to describe the
loss of limb and life!" The under
lining and the comment seem to show
that DiSraeli, one of the greatest mas
tiers of words, found its use unusual.
Murray's dictionary does not give
much assistance on the point, for all
It's quotatiOnS-Such as one from the
duke of Wellington's dispatches in
1910, 1.-THE casualties of the service
do not necessarily imply anything ex
cept loss by unavoidable accidents. My
suggestion, however, is borne out by
the following from StOckquelers Mill
tary Encyclopedia" published in 1858,
which says: "Casuals or casualties, a
term signifying men that are dead
(Since first enlisted) or have been dis
charged, or have deserted"-in other
words, total losses. No mention is
made, it should be noted Of the appli-
cation of the word TO temporary losses
caused by wounds. 1t was Lady Lon
donderrys use of it IN this sense, per-
haps, which Disraeli found strange
