Here in Poultney the New York Tribune
was founded. Here its founder washed the
forms, and carried water. and built the fires,
and didn't sweep out the news room, and
didn't carry out the ashes, and forgot what he
was sent after, and let the paste sour, and lost
the letters he was given to mail, and upset the
I've, and tried the usual experiments with the
fancy job type and the finest colored inks in
the way of fearful and wonderful visiting
cards. and in all ways conducted himself even
as the devil always does about print shop.

DR.. Brewster recently obtained boy of pure
American parentage from the Boston Orphan
Asylum and began with him course of UNI
brela training. The boy was made to keep an
umbrella in his hand every moment during his
waking hours, and to sleep with it tied tightly
to bis wrist. Within six months the boy de-
veloped love Of Basis pale ale, a tendency to
speak about his bath-tub to every one whom
he met, and marked difficulty in the use of
the letter Ssh, !" and at the end of year he had
become SO thoroughly respectable that he would
not engage in any games with other boys, but
spent his whole time in taking solitary walks
and staring silently at persons who ventured to
address him. He has SO far failed to show any
longing for checked clothing, but DIR. Brewster
records that last September the boy informed
him that he Couldn't stand this beastly eli
mate don't you know" and requested to be taxi
en- "where he could enjoy nice, comfortable
fog" That he has developed all the chief ma
tional characteristics of Englishmen there can
be no doubt, and it is equally certain that this
result has been due solely to the influence of
constant association with an umbrella.-New
