Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1896-03-13

A complete file of each of the ncwspa-
pers that have been published in Chicago
since the firc-in fact, more complete than
is to he found in many of the newspaper
Otlicrs-iS one of the features of the Chica-
90 Public library When the editors of the
various new papers are appealed to in re-
gard To art iclcS thai have appeared in their
papers, they, with one accord refer the
applicant to the Public library. In addi-
tion to persons 80 referred, there are n
large number of people. who, knowing of
these flies, are constantly wanting either
the whole Or portion of the articles they
have rrad hut failed to preserve. Many
of these requests are for articles of very
recent date. and the area from which they
come j. only limited by the circulation of
the Chicago papers, together with such pa
perS rs make excerpts from them.
There i. probably nothing in the library
that is the source of more request than
these files of Chicago newspapers, and
there is certainly nothing more closely
guarded. This latter fact accounts for the
file in the Public library being more per
feet than ara many of those in the Offices
where the paper is published. 1t is not
quite easy to understand why a person
who would not think of tearing IA page
from book will ruthlessly mutilate Il
newspaper file that is far more valuable.
But the fact remains and for this reason
the newspaper files at the Public library
are constantly guarded. No one is per
mitted'to examine them save under the
surveillance of the guard. Chicago Trib-

Hunting the wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat as it indiscriminately called, is a
species of big game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not go much because
of the difficulty Of killing the
animal, nor because of It's actual
rarity. It is a stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. It is not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. It is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. It ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually. among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out OF ten.
