THE BARRE DAILY TIMES. RARRE. VT., FRIDAY. JULY 12. 1912.
Why She
'Didnt Many
By SARAH P. LANCDON
. Agatha Goodwin was brought up od
very wholesome principles. As a little
girl she was permitted to read only
books with excellent morals. The etc;
t ries allowed her were largely those
showing that It Is no disgrace to be
poor; that labor is highly honorable;
, that wealth is often a source of evil.
Yet, side by side with this democrat
ic, moral training, certain lessons were
; gradually introduced to inform her
that her associates must be from the
upper classes; that provision for the
future is always in order; that, while
labor is honorable, poverty is hard to
bear. She was also given to under
stand that, while other girls might
; marry poor men and be bappy in a cot
tage, she must have a husband who
, i could keep her In the society in 'which
: she had been born, for her father was
. not a rich man. Indeed, bis wealth
. ' was not up to his family's social posf
.tion. This was the reason given hei
for the exception in her case.
But when Agatha came to be twenty
an uncle who had never been married
died in Mexico, where he had been
Interested in mines, and left her moth
er an enormous fortune.
Before this windfall Agatha had
fallen ia love with a poor artist She
did not know whether her love was re
turned, for she gave him no encour
agement. Having been told that to
keep up the social position to which
, she was accustomed she must marry a
rich man, it was, of course, out of th
question that she should marry the
artist But when the family were re--'
Joicing over their good fortune Agatha
said to her mother that now, there be
ing great wealth in the family, she
might marry a poor man whom she
loved.
Then she discovered that the acces
sion of wealth did not change the fact
that she must marry wealth. It only
' changed the reason for her doing so.
The fortune she would inherit added to
that of some millionaire would enable
her to do so much good in the world.
Think of the poor whom she could ben.
efit.
Agatha was inclined to argue the
point. Her mother was a great novel
reader and had often sympathized with
lovers who had been separated on
account of worldly considerations.
Agatha reminded her mother of this
and she had been taught by her moth-
er to understand that such worldllness
was reprehensible. There could be no
" charge of improvidence in the girls
: marrying poor men, because their fu
ture and that of their children would
be amply provided for.
But on falling heir to a fortune the
good lady's romance and repugnance
l.to sordidness 'seemed to have deserted
her. . -
"That's very different," she replied to
her unhappy daughter, but how and
why it was different she did not ex
plain. Instead she told Agatha that
if she did not give up her "romantic
nonsense" she would take ber to the
other end of the world. j
Poor Agatha, having come to woman
hood, discovered that her education,
the books she had read inculcating self
sacrifice and other virtues were for chil
dren and to be discarded as soon as
they reached an age of maturity. Hei
mother continued to read novels in
which noble Impulses were followed.
but did not recognize them in her own
family.
Meanwhile money was rolling in
upon the family in en eh quantities that
they scarcely knew how to spend it,
One day Agatha asked her mother
, what was the use of more money than
one could spend.
"Why, my dear," was the reply, "the
use of more money than one can spend
Is to do good to others."
Thon Agatha asked her mother for
nomething to give away to a needy
family.
Mrs. Goodwin suggested sending
to a charitable association a re
quest to investigate the case. Agaln-
and again Agatha asked for funds to
help others, but was always put oil
by some excellent reason. She did not
quite see that adding to a fortune be
, cause so much good could be done
with it resulted. In the good, being
done. The family income was $100,000
a year, half of which was all they could
spend without throwing it away, but
Agatha could not wed her poor artist
because It was expected that she should
ally her fortune with another, that so
much good could he done with it
The years sped on and Agatha's
mother lived on. Agatha grew from a
young woman to an old maid. She
had no desire to marry any one but
her artist. Besides, no man with a
fortune came along who asked for
her hand.. Each year the chance of
meet'ng such a person decreased, and
at Inst Agatha passed the age where
children would come to her.
Single persons do not develop on the
lines, the natural lines, of married per
sons. Agatha grew croohety. Chil
dren, especially If they were healthy,
noisy children, annoyed her. She grew
Irritable. One day a friend asked her
why she had never married.
"Well," she replied. 'with a sign, "be
fore mothpr fell heir to a fortune I
couldn't marry the man I wanted be
cause I needed some one who could
enable me to keep the family social
position. After we got rich I needed
a man who had a fortune to match
mine."
"Why so?"
"Because we could do so much good
with the cnite-1 fortunes."

SUGGESTS PRISON FOR SOME

low Minority A Serious Ques
tion, Says He; a Turn
to Anarchy.
Three Others Say He's Dangerous a,nd
Judge Keogh Must Decide '
the Question.
White Plains, N. Y Julv 12. Wheth
er Harrv K. Thaw is to continue a pris
oner in Matteawan insane asylum or is
to go free will probably be decided with
in the next two weeks.
Justice Martin J. Keogh, before whom
Thaw, through his attorney, Clarence J.
Shearn, has been trying to demonstrate
tor nearly a month that he is sane and
illegally deprived of his liberty, now
lias before him the opinion of six alien
ists, the beat of their class in the conn
try. Three agree that Thaw is sane
and should be turned loose, while three
insist, equally as strenuously, that if he
goes tree he will probably commit an
other murder.
Dr. ,lohn Rusell, head of Matteawan
and a friend of . Thaw, told the court he
feared that if Thaw was released and
returned to his former habits, especially
to drinking to excess, he niight commit
another murder. Tins statement, is ex
pected to have great weight with the
court in arriving at a decision.
Dr. Charles K. Mills, professor of hen.
rology at the university of Pennsylvania,
was the cruel witness yesterday, lie re
iterated his statement of Wednesday
that he believed Thaw could be safely
given his freedom.
Other witnesses yesterday were atta
ches of the Tombs prison in New York,
where Thaw was confined j private de
tectives who conferred with him in pris
on, and court attendants, all of whom
swore they had never noticed anything
irrational m lhaws actions.

Error Turns a Tender Message of Affcc
tion Into Cruel Farewell.
New York, July 12. An unusual and
yet easily explainable error in the trans
mission of a telegraph message has re
suited in a claim for damages against
one of the telegraph companies for
breaking an engagement that was soon
to end in marriage. The company is
charged withalienat ionjof the young wom
an 8 affections, the message was rent
by the young man and read as fol
lows :
"I love you forever."
When it was delivered to the ud
dressee, it read:
"I leave you forever."
under tne circumstances there was
nothing r her to do but send back
the young man's gifts, his engagement
ring and all his letters, and before the
gender of the message could communi
cate with her she had accepted another
offer of marriage. Hence the claim for
damages. The company's defense is
that the mistake was not due to negli
gence but that the Morse spelling for
"love" and "leave" is so much alike
that trouble on the wires caused the
error. The word "love", has the dot,
space and a dot for the letter "o,",and
"leave has a dot for "e" and a dot
and a dash for ''a."
Police Judge Fines Himself.
Fort Dodge, la., July 12. S. N. Mac
Gowan, police judge, who has fined scores

Easy Aids to Good Looks.
(Elia Ellis Id the Arch)
"After motoring or golfing, the hair
may be dusty with no time for wash
ing the head. In this dilemma, you will
find a dry shampoo a good friend. Put
four ounces of powdered orris root in n
fruit jar, add an original packnge of
therox and mix together. Sprinkle a
little on the head and brush through the
hair. Therox removes dust, oil and dan
druff, and leaves the hair light, fluffy
and easy to do up.
"Disfiguring wild hairs can be made fo
vanish quickly from face or forearms by
applying delatone paste, made by mixing
powdered delatone with water. Cover
the hairy surface with this paste for a
minute or two, then remove, wash the
skin, and the hnirs will be gone .
"Short and thin eyelashes detract from
otherwise beautiful eyfg. Weak and
straggly lashes can be strengthened if
plain pyroxin be applied to the lash
roots with thumb and forefinger,. Thin
eyebrows always improve with daily ap
plications of pyroxin. . .
"A complexion cannot be daintv if
the skin is shining from perspiration.
A complexion beautiner that will not
rub off or show like powder is made
easily by "dissolving 1m original package
of mayatone in a half-pint of witch
hazel. This 'holds' ami does not smear.
(lently massage with this solution daily,
and the skin will he soft and satiny,
velvctv and smooth."
Washington, July 12. With the pros
pect of being ousted from the Senate
of the United States staring him squarely
in the faee-in fact, with his unseating
as a member of that body believed to be
well-nigh a certainty, Senator William
Lorimer of Illinois at 12:30 yesterday
afternoon took the floor to make his
last eloquent and impassioned appeal id
his colleagues. ; . . .
He spoke under unusual and dramatic
circumstances. The Senate galleries
were filled in spite of, the sweltering
heat. Nearly all of the senators were
present and most of them sat through
the afternoon listening intently to Lor
imer's plea.
"Mr. President," he said in measured
tones, "this is no joke. This is a solemn j
and serious question. If the Senate
decides to follow the views ot the mi
nority of this investigating committee, it
will be a travesty on civilized juri
prudence, a mockery on jutice. It will
be a declaration that the Sennte has
decided to follow the red flag; that it
has become the advocate of anurchv; has
adopted the doctrine of the recall as ad
vocated by its arch-champion.
The Senate session opened at 10
o'clock, and after 20 minutes, consumed
in getting a quonim, the Lorimer cas
was opened. Senator Thornton spoke
for Lorimer, and Senators jeix and Reed
against him. At the "close of the speech
of Senator Reed, Lorimer took the floor.
In general, his speech was a bitter
assault upon the men whom he deems
rseponsible for the case against him. In
his previous speech, in the closing days
of tlie last Congress, Lorimer's address
in his own behalf was largely a por
trayal of the story of his own career.
Jxmmer spoke from the last seat on
the main aisle in the Reupblican side.
He had a large stack of books and rec
ords piled on his desk. At times, he
read from manuscript. At other times
he walked out into the aisle and gestured
earnestly.
"1 want to give the Senate an insight
into the men who are responsible for
this case, he declared. "They are th
same men who humbugged this Senate
into a second investigation of my case
through the Helm investigation commit
tee at Springfield, which was started by
Governor IJmeeu, Jolin J. Jlealy, and the
Chicago newspapers, generally known as
tne newspaper trust.
Continuing his attack on the Chicago
newspapers, he charged that while The
tribune property was worth from 7,-
000,000 to $10,0(X,000, it paid taxes only
on $420,000. He called the newspapers
against which he launched his invective
"robbers of the public treasury of the
citv of Chicago.
"If State's Attorney Wavman would
treat Victor Lawson as he would treat
William Lorimer if he were the trans
gressor, he declared, Victor Lawson
nd the chief clerk in the assessor's
office would be in the penitentiary to
day for conspiracy to commit fraud.
"Some (lav the people of mv State
will put into the states attorney s ot
flee, he said, "a man who wilt . go
through the records, and make Governor
Dencen pay back into the school funds
f200,000 or more that belongs to hint no
more than this capitol building belongs
to me.

Girls in iheir "teens should
not be pale, languid, constant
ly fatigued. Nature intended
them to be bright, energetic
and active.
Every parent of a growing
girl, and every young woman
who looks after herself, should
be constantly on the watch
for symptoms of impoverished
blood. The happiness of a
lifetime depends upon giving
the blood the help it needs at
this time, when girls are too
frequently allowed to over
study, overwork or suffer from
lack of exercise. .
If your daughter is languid,
has a pale, sallow complexion,
is short of breath, especially
on going upstairs, has palpita
tion of the heart, a tendency
to faint and a poor appetite,
she suffers from lack of blood.
The most satisfactory way to
give the blood the elements
which it lacks is by using Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. A
thorough trial will make the
blood pure and red.
Two bool lets, "Plain Talks to Woman"
and "fiuilding Up tha Illoodj" will be sent .

To remove that shiny appearance hard
wear gives to serge, wash or clean dress

fine emery paper and rub the goods
slightly. This process lifts the slight

In making a skirt in which one gore
has a selvage which joins on the bias,
notch the selvage edge to prevent its
shrinking. If the miteriiil does not rav

entirely, but as most cotton goods will
ravel, the notches should be made to pre
vent the drawing up of the seam.

When washing silk blouses, never rub
soap on them or rub the silk between the
hands. L se soapsuds and put a little
methylated spirit into the last rinsing

lor tussore silk, use bran water in
place of soap. A pound of bran should
be well boiled in two quarts of water,
strained and used for both washing
and rinsing water. One part of water
to three parts of the bran mixture, will
be found about the right proportion..
Nothing answers the purpose of a rust

Learn to Enjoy Simple Things.
Xow this secret is not one reserved for
only a few chosen souls; it is fcr every
body, free as air and water.
And the first thing to learn is to find
votir happiness in the simple things of
'life.
These are with you always, they sur
round you' every minute. To get the
knack of enjoying them is to lay the
foundation of all satisfaction, says Lr.
Frank Crane in Woman's World.
There is air. Did you ever turn your
miud uuon it. &nd try to ajoireciata it?
When in the morning you go from your
close bedroom into (iod's outdoors and
draw great draughts of that sweet liquor
into your lungs, don't take it as a mat
ter of course, and go on worrying over
your troubles; try to taste and realise
how good it is.
There is water. What infinite mo
menta of pleasure it has given you, spark
ling in the glass, or reviving your dusty
throat, or splashing cool and life-giving
upon your face! Think how you have
neglected the kisses of this simple lover
ot mankind!
And how pood ire bread and buttet,
and milk, and all the simple creatures
that rejoice the body's natural wants.
And have you learned how to draw
pleasure from nature's beauty? There
is joy for yon wrapped up in every
flower, every tree, in the clouds of even
ing, in the stars of night, in the river
and mountain. Practice finding this kind
of pleasure. Rettcr learn to love nature
than learn to love champagne or tobacco.
When you have once got in the way
of tasting and liking life's simple things,
you will discover that you have found
the truest culture. You will be not a
false but a real "superior person," for
you will have an inward fountain of
refreshment ''the world knows not of."
Keep away from the immoralities. The
wisdom of mankind, after ages of experi
ment, has settled it that those things
we call i'mmoral embitter and destroy
life.
Don't make any experiments here. You
don't have to be bitten bv a rattlesnake
to know that it will kill you. Take
other people's word for it.
It is not to be denied that there is
a certain pleasure in doing wrong. The
boy doubtless enjoys stealing Apples.
There is something enjoyable evidently
in lying, cheating, swearing, gambling,
and unclcanness. or people would not
keep doing such things.
But the trouble with those forms of
gratification 'is that they do not last,
and they destroy our rapacity for en
joying the things that do last.
' As Balzac says: . "These pie-mures are
like certain drugs; to obtain continuous
ly the same effects one must keep doub
ling the dose; which means death or
brutality."
I do not speak here of the religious
side of the case, but appeal merely to
plain horse-sense. Only in the ha bit ot
quietly and steadily choosing the right,
decent and good is abiding contentment
possible for uny son or daughter of man.
If you think otherwise, I will not call
you n sinner; you are worse; you are
a fool.
It ought to be borne in mind, too,
(hat happiness, like most other human
affairs, is very much a matter of habit.
Complain, fret and stew, gc into the
dumps and brood, w hen things go against
you, and the habit will grow upon you.
On the other hand, deliberately resist
the impulse to look on the dark side of
matters, and you will find that the dis
position of cheerfulness becomes stronger
every day.
Really, have you not known people
that have so gotten into the rut of whin
ing that even when they , come to a
sunny spot in life they had forgotten
how to enjoy it ?
