81 crept up close enoughto see what
they were doing. They had one canoe
turned up on one side of teir fire just
like ourn here, and the way they
laughed and talked and roasted ven'son
and gorged was caution couldn't
make out their gibberlsh but knew
we'll enough that they was Dragging
about the nice lot of fur they'd
captured, and telling how they'd be
sure to find my body floating away
down river next day, and get my scalp.
81 thought they'd never quit laugh
ing and eating, but they did finally,
and wrapped their blankets round 'em
and Struggled up to the canoe with thei;
feet to the fire.
81 waited till l thought they wee
all asleep, and then crept rounE to
where they'd left the other caloes.
Well, just about busted to keep rom
laughing when see how they'd left
things! They'd made so sure tht I'd
gone to the bottom that they'd emptied
them furs out of one of them canes to
the other one, and left that and rnine
right on the bank with all four of their
own paddles and mine too.
They'd turned my canoe bottom
side up to dry, and hung my blankets
and such of my furs as were wet over
a limb fer the same purpose.
Il got my canoe into the water with.

then peeped into theirs to see if they
had anything worth taking. didn't
much expect they had, but when
came to lift things out, confound my
picture if they didn't have whole raft

II thought l had a good lot myself
but they had twice as much. 1t didn't
take me long to get it out of their canoe
into mine, can tell you.

Besides, if I'd killed them while

and that was tickling me as much as they
were ticllled at finding all of my fur.
So showed their canoe into the water,

81 had got out of sight of the reds at

THE GROW HILL SCHOOL.

Il seems like a dream to me now how Jim and
used to go
Flowing our way to the district school through
the deeply drifted snow;
Our homespun suits were OF black sleeps wool,
pantaloons, jackets and all;
Our shoes were made of the "beef critter's'
hide father killed in the fall;
The boys took turns in the winter It cutting the
stovewood TO fit;
Twas exercise we detested, but we made
the best OF il.
The schoolhouse was old and shabby from the
peltings OF many Storm
The glass was out OF the windows, IL was awful
hard to keep warm:
THE schoolmaster's desk was whitfield by
knives OF boys by the score,
Initials, peepholes and ink spots were thick on
the sagging old door:
cut the name Of my sweetheart in the lid Of
my desk one day,
And the schoolmaster warmed my jacket in
the old original way
Whenever we disobeyed orders the ferrule came
into play.
And it left sting behind It that lasted for
many a day:
The boys had a fire list posted, the girls took
turns with the broom,
And swept and garnished with evergreen
boughs the walls OF the dingy room.
Every morning we read in concert and lifted
our voices high,
AL firmly resolved to do our best to make a
noise or die.
When think upon those happy days It is like
misty dream
] might have in sleepy meadows bordering on a
lazy stream
Ihear the tapping waters over the smooth-worn
pebbles glide
Again l am a careless boy and Jim Is sitting by
my side
Hush We are in the schoolroom! Hear the
tapping OF the masters rule;
He is saying: "Order / want order here in
Crow Hill school"

What a PITY.

The American Hebrew says that a
minister, while visiting farmer in the
nelghborhood of Glasgow, was invited
to partake of some fine fruit
The good man not only declined the
protfered dainties, but announced the
remarkable fact that he had never
tasted an apple or any other kind of
green fruit"
The company looked much surprised,
and an old Scotchman remarked in a
dry tone:
Its peety, but had We been in Par
adise there might ua hae been ony fa'."

MISS HALL RETURNS
She Refuses 80 Tell Where She Has Bee
in Hiding.


in Hiding.
NoRwA1K, Conn, Dec 12.-Hanke1
Ru ssell l.. Halls daughter, Miss Julia
Hall, who disappeared from her fathers
home in New Canaan last Friday after
noon, returned last night at II o'clock.
Rev. DR.. Bower, the pastor Of the New
Canaan Methodist church, who was at the
head of a party of over 100 citizens or
ganized to search for the demented young
lady, never lost hope that she would be re-
covered alive, but her fathers less buoy
ant spirits seemed to have completely de-
serted him. He moaned and cried in his
anguish that his daughter had wandered
off into the woods and there taken her
own life.
In appearance Miss Hall has not fsuf-
fered much during her fifty-four hours
absence, and save for few evidences Of
slight mental and physical exhaustion, in
her eyes, particularly, one could hardly
believe that she had been away from the
ordinary surroundings of a young woman
in good circumstances for so long time.
When the first feelings of joy and
Thanksgiving had passed after her return
an effort was made by Mr. Hall to draw
from his daughter some information as to
where she had been and why she had
gone away in such an unceremonious
manner.
Miss Hall was decidedly taciturn, even
to her father, and to all inquiries she
paid not the slightest heed and neither
by word nor gesture vouchsafed reply.

A Letter From = Physician on the Sub

EDITOR HERALD To gather and dispose
of the waste matter under the different
forms in which it exists in domestic life
without offending the senses or polluting the
air we breathe or the water we drink, is
agitating the sanitary world to-day. There
was a time when this question did not press
so hard for an answer, but with the increase
of population, the closely crowded dwellings,
and their still more closely y-compacted in
habitants we find ourselves confronted with
an issue that needs prompt handling espec-
tally when ignorance on the part of the
people and Indifference on the part of the
officials are coupled with the deplorable con
dition of affairs that exists in this borough.
The education of the masses in the essen
tials of health, and the relations Of filth and
dirt to disease is the principal and particular
duty Of our local sanitary committee. 1t is
no less the duty of the borough officials to
provide such measures as will promote the
health and prevent diseases among the in
habitants, than it is to give them good gov
ernment or well-paved streets. In town
like ours, where there are no sewer connec-
tions the disposition of waste or refuse liquids
and solids is more important than at first
sight would appear. From the kitchens are
discharged the dish and other general waters
which have been appropriately termed weak
organic broths, readily responding to inOcu-
lation, and, in fact, all the waters which are
used in the household are so charged with
organic waste as to make their retention in
or about homes imprudent if not dangerous
In the absence of proper method of dis
posal these wastes find their way into the
street or alley, and slowly find their way for
square or two, or even three squares, giving
off offensive odors and creating here and
there stagnant pools of greasy and foul look
ing nastiness There is borough ordinance
(passed nearly ten years ago. which pro-
hibits the throwing into the streets Or alleys
of rubbish of any kind, but it is entirely un-
needed. NJ. d.
