Little Benny's
Note Book
By LEE PAPE

You can tell how good of a educa-
ton a persin has had by how mulch
grammar they speek wen they tawk. If
You was wawking in back of a man
and herd him say, Them there peepul
amt got nuthing, insted of Those pee
pull amt got .enything, you would know
rite away he dident have hardly eny
education, or elts if he did he mite as
well not of.
1t is easier to talk good grammar
than wat it is to rite it, on account of
wen you tqwk it YOU leeve out all the
punktuation marks. For instants. ii
you meet sumbody YOU know on the
street you don't say, Well comma well
comma look who's heer period You
jest say, Well, well, look who's heer
and leave him to imagine the punktua
tion marks if he wunts to witch he gen
erelly don't.
Wen you come to q period at the enc
OF sentence, that s all the fertilizer you
can go in that sentence. Evea the long
est sentences never have more than on,
period.
A comma is period with a tail OF
1t and you can put all the commas il
a sentence You wunt to, according tt
talst. 1t is dangerous to stop too lons
wen You come to comma on account
of sumbody mite think you have cam;
to period and interrupt you.
A question mark meens that sum
body has jest asked question but Their,
is no special mark TO tell wat the an
ser is. This proves that meny ques
tions can be asked witch cant be an
sered.

Sugar

AS we are receiving many
inquiries from this section
of the country from those
who secure their sugar sup
ply from us, we beg to state
that June 9Th we purchased
of the Revere Sugar Rein

sugar for July shipment.
These cars were duly or
dered, and June 18th two
cars of the American Rein
ing Company for shipment
within 80 days. We received
no invoices Of these cars, al

are long overdue; neither

voice for one pound for
shipment to any other point
than Brattleboro or vicinity
since June I'd.

Defining Kindred.
(Rutland News. J

When Thomas Thompson died in 1860
and left his estate eventually to go for the
benefit of seamstresses, needle work wo-
men and "other kindred" occupations in
Brattleboro and elsewhere he probably
little dreamed of the trouble that was to
follow The estate is now i'll excess of a
million dollars and the trustees are by
the ears, because they cannot well ex-
pend the income for the classes of fe-
male workers specifically enumerated
Therefore, they are in court to determine
what kindred occupations would per
NIT in the way of expenditure of the bal
ance.

Eternal Vigilance.
(Rutland Herald. J

The Barre tragedy suggests two
things: Why was man with evident
insane impulses permitted to be at
large and unrestrained and how does
it happen that such a dangerous luna
tie was permitted to own and practise
with deadly weapon! Such a COM
bination of events suggests the fact
that in every community such a trag
edy may be impending. Eternal vigi-
lance is the only thing that prevents
such things
