Tribute to Lauahter.

Every giggIe is worth a thousand
dollars If not more. A good genuine
laugh is worth a thousand. Doctors
recognize the medicinal value Of
laughter. 1t is a tonic that benefits
both body and mind. A hearty laugh
is an aid to dlsgession. While the
movies are capable of putting over
many funny scenes and situations, l
believe that the best laugh of all is
that which follows bit of cleverness
in spoken lines. The ear seems to
record faster than the eye; that is
why the spoken jest gets over quicker
than the one that must be read. Yet.
no matter how it is produced, the laugh
is the king of all things always.-Ex.

TRAMP RODE
TEN DAYS IN
FREIGHT CAR
Was In a Car of Grain
Shipped from St. ]. to
No. Adams, Mass.

Th& Caledonia Mills, Inc, re-
Gently shipped a carload of grain
to customer in North Adams,
Mass, and received the following
acknowledgment of its arrival in
the Massachusetts city:
"Your mixed car shipped out last
Tuesday was opened by us today
and want to advise you as far as
we have got, it checks over one
Hobo. | do not know how we are
going to make use of.him as grain,
but if properly cured we might be
able to make use of him as beef
scraps or mixed in poultry feed.
However, as he was not invoiced
to US, do not know as you expecC
any pay for him.
"This is not a Joke but an ac' l.
al fact. Both doors were sealed
with the St. Johnsbury seal and
upon opening the door this poor
speciman of humanity made
dive and ran u" the track. Did not
see the chap, but the fellows re-
ported that he looked rather hard.
Would suggest that you keep fur.
ther shipments until advised as we
have enough of these critters
around here"
This car was loaded at the Cal
edonia Mills on July 26 and left
here properly sealed. 1t did not
reach the consignee, the Berk-
shire Coal and Grain Co., until
Aug. 2. The tramp evidently rode
a week in the car and if he had
any food or drink he must have
had it with him before he secreted
himself in the car at the Gale
donia Mills. The car left the mil
early in the morning and the
tramp must have hidden benin
some of the bags of grain the
night before.

'iiouSeliiuH III cIecllnp settlements
in threatened litigation against
New York motion picture produc-
ers was again up for inquiry to-
day at the trial of Tufts before
the Supreme Court on charges of
mal-feasance in office The district
attorney was recalled to the stand
for croSs-eXamination. Attorney
General Allen used as leads in his
Inquiry the checking accounts of
Mr.. Coakley which were produced
IN court yesterday.
Addressing Mr.. Tufts the attor-
ney general said, 81 call your at
tention to the facts that on June
~, four days before you deposited
S5,025 in the Exchange Trust Com
pany, Nh Coakley withdrew So
25O in bills and on June 26, two
days before you deposited S6,03O,
Mr.. Coakley withdrew $1,000 and
$4,000 in two Withdrawals" Does
that refresh your recollection of
whether you borrowed any money
from Mr.. Coakley," 81 never bor-
rowed any money and | never re-
ceived any money from Mr.. Coax
ley regardless of what Withdrawals
he may have made" exclaimed
Mr.. Tufts. He said that he could
not locate individual amounts
among a mass of small deposits.
"On December 20, 1920, S3,040
was deposited in bills and on Jan
pary 3, 1921, $1,043. Do YOU re-
call for what that was" Mr.. Allen
asked. Mr.. Tufts said he thought
it came from the largest fee he
ever received, totaling $1,000,
which was, paid in cash in Decem-
ber, 1920. In redirect examination
Mr.. Tufts said his client in the
$11 200 fee was Harry Barrett of
the Braman-Dow Company, Bos-
ton; 1t was a purely civil suit, he
said.
The attorney general had made
inquiry of Mr. Tufts ;at the. outset,
of his cross examination, today re-,
garding the affairs of his father
who the district attorney testified
a few days ago gave him money
and stocks amounting to between
$4,000 and $4,000 in 1917 in an
ante mortem settlement of his es-
tate. Mr.. Allen introduced a letter
to the superintendent of the Fitch
burg railroad dated February A,
1911, in which the elder Tufts,
ticket agent. was recommended for
a pension. His property was ~iver

BIG SMOKESTACK
AT HOOD CREAMERY
T0PPLES0VER
100 Foot Chimney at New
pOrt Goes to Ground.
No One Injured

The 100 foot smoke stack, weigh
ing in the vicinity of 15 tons, was
hoisted into position at the ii. +.
Hood Creamery on Coventry St,
at Newport Thursda afternoon,
but toppled over early the same
evening with resounding crash.
At the same time a mast, which
was the principal mainstay of the
ponderous stack was broken off.
Thus robbed of it's support, the
stack fell over the new brick
creamery boiler room, and lay part
way across the Boston and Maine
tracks in an easterly direction.
The force of the fall buckled
the stack over the boiler room IN
such {. manner that it may be nee
essary to replace several of the
cylindrical sections with new ones.
Workmen had been on the job all
day hosting the stack into position
on its cement base. Many
people had watched the process of
raising during the day.
Luckily no one wds injured. al
though live wires were dragged to
the ground with the crash. The
accident occurred just before the
New York train pulled into the
yards, about 7.45. One of the
old stacks fell through the roof OF
the John Willis Garage and left a
great gap that would require at
least 80 square feet Of roofing to
cover.

ULSTER CABINET.
MEETING CALLED

LONDON, Aug. Another
meeting of the Ulster cabinet has
been called to discuss the Irish
peace negotiations, it was an
nounced today. Although it is re-
iterated in Belfast that no message
has been received there from
Eamon De Valera, it is added, that
no overtures will be entertained
which diminish the powers of the
Nor. .hern Parliament. None the
less the Imperial government con-
tinues optimistic as to the outcome
if it can ct the oppotng leaders
together. Will the Sim Fein lead
ers are maintaining silence i Is
believed De Valera and his advi1-
ers favors a conference in London
and will support before the Repub-
lican Parliament proposal for
such conference. 1t is hoped in
government circles here that the
republican parliament will an
nounce its willingness to open di
rect negotiations for the future
government Of Southern Ireland
while attempting through other
sources to make an arrangement
with Ulster. The Ulster cabinet
meeting was called for this az
ternOon.

Pounding Lindsay, the celebrat-

fully the Fairbanks A. A. base
ball club trampled the CRANKY,
Que, "nine" under its feet at the
Campus Thursday afternoon for
the second time in two days. a
record breaking week day crowd
witnessed the downfall of the
proud Canadians, which was to
the tune of to 3. Thus the series
between these two aggregahons IS
on $3.50 basis, the boys from
the land of the Maple Leaf having
taken the first two contests played
at st. Hyacinthe some weeks ago.
Alex Downey, who halls from
MARYLAND and who is very much
at home with the ebony hued boys,
has always been considered a
cracker jack outfelder but has not
been reckoned as anything more
than a second strino hurler How
ever, pitted against .he well known
Lindsay recognized as one Of the
foremost box men in Canada,
Downey proved that he was
"jewel of the first water" as
mound artist by holding the slug
ging Canadians down to seven safe
wallops and forcing an even half
dozen of the visitors to 60 out via
the strike out route.
Yesterday certainly was a day Of
surprises 1t was surprise to
many that Downey won his game.
Many fans were shocked TO see
"Puss" Connor knock out two ter
rifle extra base cracks. Every one
was disappointed not to see Jocko
Conlon get a safe crack, let alone
fail to reach first base. And what
a relief to the hundreds it was to
see st. Angelo capture Borden's
long drive ,one hand. for the final
out of the fracas. Who was more
surprised than Lindsay that he
caught Hoernle's hot liner in the
third frame and what an odd thing
it was for Bernie Starr to eIr
twice. Altogether it was day of
unusual happenings.
st. Johnsbury fans have seen
few better games than was played
here yesterday. 1t was not a slug
fest and yet there were sufficient
hits to make things Interesting.
There was not. a large number OF
brilliant plays but those few stool
out boldly. Unquestionably the
feature fieldin gplays were sta oed
by Conlon and St. Angelo. The
former made some difficult stops
and beautiful pegs while the latte
startled the fans by his two long
throws from center field, one OF
which cut down n runner at the
platter. st. Angelo may be easily
forgiven for his slump in batting
when his fine work in the field Is
considered. He covers a wide
range of territory and has q throw

HIRING OUTSIDE

Believes Well Organized
Team Better Than Col

"One mistake, stated c. ii.
Davis. manager of the Newport
baseball club in an interview to-
day., which the local sporting re-
gime has not been guilty Of, is the
hiring for the bigger games OF
pitchers with large regulations. 1t
is a we'll accepted axiom in big
league ball thaFan organized and
thoroughly drilled base ball team
can beat in nine cases out OF ten
collection fstars, who nave
not been playing together. And
so it is even With the league
pitchers, that Newport has been
obliged to face in the most cru
Gil games thus far this season..
Manager Davis has again taken
ur the managerial reins after

thussiastic than ever over the pros
poets Of the eNwpo1t diamond ag-
