Vermont, recently. There was roaring
sound high IN the air, while near the sur

| OF clear sky from great height. II is

Springfield Republican says that the original
of Dickens "Wilkins Micawber" is alive in
that city. His name is Thomas Cowell, a
literary Englishmau OF some note, who came
| 10 IQl6 Country III 1919 dUQ nuO ID nOn 81
| years old. He was the boon companion o.
Dickens and knew Disraeli aud nearly all of
the famous Englishmen Of the past forty
years. He has published great many notes
aud two or three plays, though they are not
famous. For several years he has been con

The departure of the French pilgrimage
to the Holy Land has created an immense
sensation both in London and Paris. The
ladies and gentlemen who compose the
pilgrimage started direct for Caifa from
Marseilles, amid the reverential homage OF
the seafaring population Of the place as
sembled on the pier, the men With uncov-
cred heads, the women on Bonded knees,
invoking a blessing on the pilgrimage. A
certain number will land at Gaia, aud go
through Nszlreth and Galtlee to Jerusalem,
while the remainder will visit Mount Car
MEL but all will meet at the holy sepul-
chre, and, attending mass under q canvas
tent at Nazareth, will unite with the re-
ligious communities left In France in offer
ing up prayers ''to avert the doom lowering
over Paris
1t IS expected that the St. Gothard tunnel
will be formally opened this month. 1t is
the second great hon highway pierced
through the Swiss mountains for facilitating
communication between northern and south
err Europe. The Mount Gems tunnel
opened q direct line between France and
Italy, and has been pecuniarV success far
beyond the expectations of It's promoters.
Germany was not slow to see the advantage
which France had gained, and freely sub
sidized the st. Gothard scheme, which af-
| forded much shorter route for central Eu-
rope. The tunnels length from end to end
is IA 900 metres, and 1t runs In a straight line
| from Goschnen on the Swiss side to Airolc,
in Italy, thus placing Lucerne and Milan Ia
immediate connection. Nearly ten years
have been spent on the work.
He was wild Western cowboy, who was
cff9red calf that didn't belong to anybody
in particular, If he would ride a wild bull
without saddle and bride. He Jumped from
his horse, looked to his spurs and leaped
upon the bull with his face to the animals
tail, setting his spurs deep into the TANKS OF
the Infatuated beast. The bull flung his
head to the ground, but the rider held Oh to
the tail and kept his seat. With another
roar the bull rushed off and out upon the
prairie. The race continued for a mile and
| a half, the whole crowd following on their
horses. the bull plunged now and then
into the sage brush with the idea Of Kidding
himself Of his burden, but it was OF no use,
and the sharp rowels kept pricking him Oh.
At last, exhausted with fright end fatigue,
he fell to the ground, and the COWBOY, step
ping of, came back, like the prodigal son,
for his well-earned calf.
