".My lad," asked a clergyman of a small boy, "who is that gentleman you attend church with?" "Grandpa," was the reply. "Well, earn the clergyman, "ir you will keep him awake during my sermon I'll give you a cent each week." The boy fell in with the arrangement, and for the next two weeks the old gen tleman listened attentively to the ser mon. The third week, however, found him soundly asleep. The clergyman called the boy to him and said: "Your grandpa was asleep again to day. Didn't I promise you a cent a week to keep him awake T" "Yes," replied the boy, "but grandpa now gives m two cents not to disturb him." Ladies' Home Journal.

It isn't a form of indoor or outdoor sport that you would naturally choose, is it? It doesn't add greatly to your self esteem, your self-confidence, the develop ment of your powers, to come home tired atid discouraged night after night. And player folk are peculiarly sensitive to such influences, or they would not be players. It is bad enough to rust in idle ness, but it is worse to fee! that you are not wanted, or that you are forirotten. or that you have to be judged by ignorant men, even by office boys, your chance even to earn a living depending on the tastes of those you often despise. "Yet the actor or the actress must show none of this feeling. He or she must keep up a emiling front, must look prosperous and well dressed, youthful and charming, for the shabby actor has no chance at all. Walk along Broadway in July when the casta are beine selected for the following season and observe the players on the sidewalks, conversing on the corners, coming out of the office buildings. The men are jaunty, they swing sticks, they look just a shade too 'fashionable. The women wear their prettiest frocks, and always silk stock ings. But sometimes you eaten a wor ried look on their faces, a look even of apprehension. Alone, and a mule seems to drop. Not all of them go to the Knickerbocker for luncheon far from it.

Jackson during his brief stay in town Patrick Hale of 1 Hale street went to Montpclier last night and underwent the navy examinations at the recruiting or flee on State street. All went well until the sight test was given, when Hale learned for the first time in his life that he was extremely shortsighted in his right eye.

Some years ago the old church lost its tower because of growing dilapidation and unsafeness. With the addition of the more recent repairs, the building has again become quite rcspec table as to outer appearance, and a coat of paint would make it almost like new The two courts of the Barre Tennis club, located on the Gospel village com mon, are at present undergoing renova, tion. Stones and weedaare being re moved from the surface, and it is hoped the courts will be rolled and ready for use within a week. These courts are now entering upon their seventh year, and have more than justified their existence during these years; yet at the time they were constructed there was much doubt expressed as to the feasibility of the scheme, Lincoln field, the high school campus, must now be added to the horrors of Although the city schools have but Hia Position.

The standards that for merly held the football dummy have broken off near their bases, probably from rot, and the goals at either end of the field are perilously near to falling. lhe stands on the west side are nearly hidden in high grass, and altogether one would little suspect the field of ever having been the scene of stirring con tests. Enterprise alley was the scene of an exciting runaway around 10 o'clock this lorenoon when a light delivery team belonging to James Gow broke away from its moorings near the bridge on Prospect street and attempted to negotiate the Montpelier and Wells River car tracks. The animal was hitched near Clark's feed store and the driver was inside when for some unknown reason the ani mal became frightened. Swinging into a gallop, the horse turned off Prospect street into the alley and then made, his way down the tracks, through switches and all, until stopped just this side of Depot square. Strange to say, the wag on and the horse both escaped serious damage, probably due to the lightness of the rig.

Several local ladies, members of the Red Cross, have been in attendance at some lectures held in Montpelier re cently, at which a nurse from the Peter Bent Brigham hospital in Boston ex plained the several kinds of bandages and dressings needed in the Red Cross work. These ladies are now prepared to instruct any Barre women who wish to learn the knacks of the art. The ban dages are simple in construction, but it is extremely essential that they be made in standard sixes and of the proper ma terials.

Red Oose campaign in Barre opens evening at 8 ocjock, opera The Mendon Mountain Road. A drive over the so-called Woodstock road discloses the faot that despite all f the unusually heavy rainfall the road bed, particularly from the summit of Mendon mountain into Kutiand, is tor the most part in excellent condition. In some places evidently not the right mate rial has been used to withstand tne heavy traffic of the Stockbridge motor bus and the lumber wagons, out mis is not a fault of the grading or drainage simply of improper material. A travel er who was over the Mohawk trail two woeks ago testified that the Woodstock road is in much better condition than the more famous trail. He further says that the Mohawk trail will require the expenditure of a vast amount of money in upkeep and in widening some of the curves and that in all respects the road from Rutland to Woodstock is the su perior. This cannot fail to be exceeding It satisfactory, but it does net mean that this highway is in the shape that it should be. It needs very much more done to it. The principal need is a road bed that will hold up under the heavy traffic to wnkh it is subjected. Kutiand News. Wasted Sympathy.

Reed of Williamstown was in the city this morning on his way to his home after taking Joseph Bean of Corinth to the house of correction, where he will serve a sentence for petit larceny, of which he was convicted in Orange county court this week. The case of State against Wilbur Corse was disposed of Friday evening before Judge E. M. Harvey in crty court. Corse, a few weeks ago, was arrested on the charge of taking automobile tires belong ing to W. A. Wright from a room in the Holmes block last February. He ap peared in court, pleading guilty to the charge, but promised restitution of the property. To a large extent this was done and in instances where the prop erty could not be returned its value was given the owner so that when the youth appeared in court Friday evening. State's Attorney F. E. Gleason modified the charge to (hat of petit larceny, to which Corse pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three months in the county jail, to which he was committed last night. Visit Fitts' annex for bargains. Work for-the Airmen. Evidently there is to be plenty , of work for all the airmen we can get into training and into service. They are needed not only over the fighting lines j in France and Flanders, but also in the home guard that for the present is try ing to ward off attacks on Loudon and the Englkh towns. The persistence and resourcefulness of the Germans have given us a new prob lem to work out. No sooner is the Zep pelin proved worthless for land opera., tiong. and discarded, than a new form of airplane attack is developed, whicli, is effective. A great force of aerial scouts is j-equired to meet it. Perhaps we shall have to contribute to it. Strange as it seems to think of American tor pedo boat destrovers protecting British ships and convoying them into British ports, it would be stranger to think of American airmen protecting British homes and school children. Yet this may very well be one of the developments of the next few weeks. For the Germsn offensive is for the time being concentrated on England. It is an utterly unscrupulous, lawless, piratical and murderous offensive, but the immorality of the thing constitutes a study by itself. From the incomprehen sible German point of view there are some military advantages to be attained by exploding bombs in residential commun ities, and the Teutons have set about destroying life and property by this means with characteristic savagery. So, what with the submarine and the air plane, England is being fiercely attack ed, evidently with the idea of driving it out of the war. We have no idea that the plan is to succeed, but the fact appears to be that while England has worked out a scheme of defense against Zeppelins, it has not sufficiently considered the danger of the airplane, has sent a larger proportion of its airmen to France than it can afford to spare, and for the time being is vir tually at the mercy of the swift aerial squadrons of the enemy. That it will quickly turn to the meeting of this new menace goes without saying, and that our airmen may figure in the new de fense plan is not at all insupposable. Manchester Union.
