This has no reference to the Tur.
key whose capital sits upoo the Pos
phorus hnt to the hard lines that fell
to the feathery tribe OF that uame be-
longing to the Fletcher farm. II all
happened in this way:
Frank, whose accute vision, born
of early life spent upon the mountains,
has been blurred by city dust, could
not resist the temptation, the early
bright October days offered, to 60
partridge hunting. So armed with
the proper implements, including a
good dog and accompanied by his
boon companion, cur own Herb, he
sailed forth. Getting in the thick
woods north of the Fletcher place the
dog soon started up game that took
refuge in hemlock tree. The hunt.
ers were much elated at this prospect
and approached the tree with the
greatest caution and, when in good
shooting distance, opened fire. This
was kept up until the woods resound-
ed with the rattle Of musketry, at
tracing the attention of other hunters
a mile off who FASTENED to the scene
of conflict. Upon the arrival of the
latter party the firing ceased and a
reconnoitering party sent out with
the result that four young, tame tur-
keys, of late hatched brood belong-
ing to the aforementioned farm, were
picked up. And then-!?!?!-d-
!?l-h-l?!?!!!?.
Not since the pig scrape of last
summer has joke been SO well en-
joyed. Frank has left us so we can
not guy him but, Herb we have with
US all the time.

tor spent mitch time with her trying to
make existence more bearable for her.
The child kept telling him Of 'love-
ly young lady" who came to see her
every day and brought her sweets. He
thought nothing much about it and was
all unaware that the child was also tell
ing the "lovely young lady" all about
the good young doctor. Finally the lit
tie girl grew very i'll and DR.. Webb
stayed with her all day. The young lady
called to see the child while he was
there and itwas over the bedside of dy.
ing charity patient that DR.. Seward Webb
and young Lila Vanderbilt first spoke
to one another. 1t turned out to be q
case of love at first sight.
After leaving the hospital the doctor
changed his mind as to his career and
entered Wall street with Daniel Wor-
den. A few years later, when he had ac-
cumulated little money, he married
Lila Vanderbilt
He was made president of the Wag-
ner Palace Car campany and when in
New York be and his wife live In a
handsome Fifth avenue residence.
Their principal home, however, is at
Shelburne, VT, from which district he
was sent to the legislature. DR.. Webh
has his eye on the United States sen
ate and thinks this is steppingstone to
his ambition.
He has q weakness for horses and
owns a large stock, his particular fad
being the breeding of hackneys. He is
unsurpassed as whip. He is very do
mestic man and detests balls and re
ceptions, preferring his own home cir
Gle. Several years ago the doctor pub

tions during trip made with his fami-
