HAD GOOD POINTS
Hot Iempered Woman Evidently.
Not Altogether Bad
Surely No Hieh-Priced Lawyer Could
Have Surpassed Pathetic Plea
of Husband Which Won
80 Her Her Liberty.

There was a negro family living in
Bowling Green, KY. The wife had
a VIGOROUSLY ungovernable temper,
usually taking it out on her husband,
who was meek and lowly. On this oc-
casion she struck him with skillet,
inflieting a wound SO painful and dan
gerous as to necessitate his having to
be taken to the hospital for treat
ment. The neighbors, knowing the
violent temper of the wife, and the
cruel treatment she had inflicted upon
her husband for such a long time.
were so outraged they could endure it
no longer, and procured warrant for
her arrest On the charge Of assault
with a deadly weapon.
The husband sat through the trial,
giving rapt attention to it's every de
TAIL The case was handed over to
the jury and after very brief delibera-
ton it brought in verdict of guilty.
The old darkey husband rose and
said: -
"Marse Jedge, I don't reckon moth
ing a ole niger could say would make
much diffunce, but I=would lax to say
word before you send the old oman
to the penitenshy. She's always been
q good mother to the chillun, all the
neighbors will tell you that. She
washes and scrubs and sews and
mends for 'em, and keeps 'em clean
and nice, an when they's sick she sits
up with 'em at night. And, Marse
Jedge, I jest want to ak you if you
won't let her go by the house and see
the chillun befo' you send her to the
penitenshy. They's at home all alone
right now, cryin' they Pc little hearts
out and it would do 'em good. and the
ole 'oman, too, if she could just go
and kiss 'em good-by befo' she was
put in the penitenshy."
By this time the judge and the spec
tators were in tears and the judge
said: Gentlemen of the jury. l
haven't passed Sentence yet and IL
you want a few minutes to further
consider this case, / will be glGd to
grant it." The jury retired and in a
few minutes returned with verdict
of mot guilty."

Colors of Paints

The color of paint is sometimes more
than matter of appearance. A black
body more readily absorbs heat than
a light body and in certain cases the
hght-colored paint seems to be pref
cradle to the dark for this reason.
transformer burnouts in hot climates
are reported to have been apparently
due to the continuous high atmospheric
temperatures. With this heat the
further heating from the load has PROV
ed excessive and damage has resulted
that might have been avoided with
different painting.

pleased to learn that Mrs. Parker
expects soon TO sail Tor San francisco
anu will reach st. Johnsbury some
time next summer. Mrs. Parker is
now living at Hardoi, India, and is in
excellent health. She sends the fol-
lowing detail about the conditions she
has encountered lately in that coun-
try. 1.-The war fever or influenza as
it is called here, is raging all over
the country and is very faIal both
among Europeans and natives
Scarcely home has escaped and
many infants and small children have
been left to be cared for by the gov
eminent until they can be otherwise
cared for. Fields lie unsowed because
laborers are i'll and dying. It has been
said that IN some places deaths are
occurring 1t a rate tht would entirely
depopulate cities in two years. Mis-
sionary work in many places is. wholly
taken up in caring for the sick and
in helping tc bury the dead. A few
missionaries and workers in the
Young Mems Christian Association
have lied Of the disease. In addition
to this there is much suffering in
many parts of the country as famine
conditions prevail. 1t has been said
that probably not within the memory
of any now living has there been so
wide failure Of the monsoon in In
dia. a committee has been appoint
ad tn IL
American Red Cross through the Am
erican Consul with a view to extern
sive relief measures being undertaken.
India has furnished many men and
much money to help carry on the
war. The Indian troops did much in
connection with the work in Palestine
and Mesoptamia as we'll as in other
places. When the news came that the
Germans had signed the armistice
there was great rejoicing all over the
land. Here in Hardoi as soon as the
news came Government official
called a mass meeting which was
/ held in the open air as no building
could hold the crowds that collected
Christians, Hindoos and Mohamme-
dams came joining in the rejoicings
sitting together. Prayers of thanks
giving were offered by a Christian
Hindoo Pundit, a Mohammedar
Mauiier, and by an Arayan Somaj
priest, while all remained silent in
one assembly. Nothing else has ever
brought together such company
all giving thanks together each in
their own way. So it is hoped that
this union will go on in other WAYS
where so much is needed in these
dys of political unrest.

Cecil Rhodes. Dream Realized.

The early completion of tunnel I'M
der the Straits of Gibraltar. which, in
connection with the tunnel from Dover
to Calais, will practically complete an
ail-ral connection between Cape Town
and London, will more than realize the
dream of Cecil Rhodes of a Cape-to-
Cairo railroad. The necessary links
along the Barbary coast will be simple
matters when the intervening waters
have been spanned. England is taking
hold of the Gibraltar tunnel in a way
that means the success of that gigan.

Would Rae Forts of Dardanelles

London, Jan. 9-The Allies have no
titled Turkey that unless the Turkish
force at Medina lays down its arms
Immediately the forts at the Darda-
nelles will be destroyed.
The Turks have shown an unwill-
ingness to surrender in accordance
with the armistice terms, but all the
garrisons except that at Medina
which is the largest in Arabia, laid
down their arms through peaceful
persuasion. Fakhrim Pasha, the COM
mander at Medina, offered one excuse
after another until the allies were
forced TO send an ultimatum to the
Turkish government.

Biblical Town of GAIA.

Al-Mintar, or the watchtower. still
exists to the east of the town of GAIA.
It is where Samson is said to have car
ried the gates of the city. On the road
from GAIA to Jaffa are ancient olive
trees, many of them more than one
thousand years old, with gnarled barb
and immense trunks. There is an old
legend which credits GAIA with the in
yention of the first mechanical. clocks.
These were perhaps the sand clocks
which are still used in some mosques.

Cranberry Boys Damaged by. Moths


Brewster, Jan. 9-It will take years
for cranberry bogs on the Cape to
recover from damage by gypsy moth
colonies, according to a report made
by State Forester Rane9 by the Cape
Cod Cranberry Growers Association.
The pest invaded the entire cram
berry district, but the damage was
especially heavy in the towns of
Harwich, Brewster, Dennis, Roches-
ter, Plymouth, Barnstable and Mash
pee.
The moth colonies first raided the
Cape Cod boys about four years ago
and have spread rapidly. Some grow
ers fear their property has been ruin
ed. Spraying has done little to check
the ravages of the pest.

Montpelier's Twirler Poorly
Supported at Crit
ical Times

Spaulding high school damaged Mont
pelier seminary's claim to the champion
ship of the preparatory school baseball
teams Tuesday afternoon when it de-
feated the Montpelier team by a score of
5 to 4 at Montpelier. Duba, who is still
suffering with lame arm, struck out 20
men. but he received so poor support
that the Barre team had little trouble IN
getting away with the game, although
the score was tied from the sixth inning
until the ninth, when Barre came through
with run and Montpelier aid not have
the stuff and had to go down in defeat
for the first time this season.
The regular team for Montpelier was
weakened by Hatch and Granai being
out of the game, Tillotson, green man,
playing one field while Martin played
third and st. Mary was shifted from
third to shortstop,
Polli was in good shape and although
hit freely at times these were scattered.
He pitched nice game. He also made
a double in the eighth inning only to see
Duba strike out the next three men at
bat.
Spaulding went after Duba hard in
the first inning, aided by a couple OF
errors, resulting in Barre getting four
tallies. Greig struck out. Sullivan went
to third on a couple of errors. Parks
was walked Calderara and Polli singled,
scoring those ahead of them, while Lille
was hit by a pitched ball. Then Duba
struck out the next two men.
Spaulding had another chance to score
in the third, Calderara getting a single
and stealing second only to see the next
three men easily put away. Again in
the fifth they had chance when Sulli-
van singled and ST. Mary made an error,
but could not get away with the score.
In the ninth Greig landed on first through
an error, stole second and was able to
score on a passed ball,
Montpelier obtained score in the
first inning, Irons singing and being adj
vanced until he scored on an error and
a single by Grandfeld. They had a
chance to score again in the second, get
ting two men on but failing to come
through; also in the fourth when Grand
field singled, stole second only to be left
there. In the fifth an error by Calderara
allowed Irons to go to first. He stole
second and scored on Parks error. In
the sixth inning three singles by Grand
field, Duba and Clark resulted in two
scores, which, excepting for triple by
Grandfeld in the eighth inning, was the
last chance Montpelier had to score.
Grand6eld got four hits in as many
times at bat. The score:
