How Ons sssa Makes a Living BY Ruy-
ing Canadian Money.

ing Canadian Money.
All through thai part Of the country
(northern Ohio there Is a discount OF
20 cents on every Canadian dollar. OF
course Canadian money Is not as much
In circulation as Is the legal tender
Of the United States. but there Is
enough for his purpose says the Buff
falo Express. A man advertised In all
surrounding country towns that he
would redeem Canadian money for 30
cents on the dollar. II was some time
before he had any results from this adj
vertlsing. II was like the man who
stood on London bridge at midnight
and offered to give away soyereigns.
People laughed az him. The farmers
were shy. They thought Il was swim
ding game o! some kind. and left him
severely alone. One day a man came In
with $40 Canadian money. Il was OF
all shapes and sizes from the scent
piece that looks like a dime to a dollar
bill drawn on the Bank OF Montreal.
II he had spent Il he could have Sc

man gave him nine big silver dollar
In United States money for H. Before
the week was out he had exchanged
United States dollars for $3.50 worth o.
Canadian money. This would give hin
a profit Of S25 wherever Canadian mon
ey Is as good rs ous. From that tint
on the business gradually increased
until to-day he averages about $50 I

come 10 him he goes TO them and buy

Deer in Essex County.
(Boston Sunday Globe. :,

Essex county no doubt contains more
head of deer than any other portion of
the state. The open season in New
Hampshire and Canada has had a ten
dency to drive the game over into that
part OF Vermont. During the last winter
from five to 80 deer were seen in one
yard in Essex county. Half an hours
ride from St. Johnsbury east to Miles
pond, station over the line in Essex
county, brings he hunter to a spot where
five and six deer are seen almost every
morning drinking. Residents say it is "a
common thing early in the morning to
see five or six deer crossing the track
just beyond the station.
If the stories of the farmers of Essex
ar: all to be believed the deer there are
most ferocious. Not content with charg-
ing deer with destroying crops they have
maligned them to the extent of alleging
that they killed sheep. One follower Of
the pillow declared hotly that he ha d beer
supporting SO deer about long enough
He came from CRANKY and said that the
SO deer, which he had on his farm, ate
his crops, came into his COW yard in win
ter and even went into the barns with
the cattle.
The Essex county farmers have in
sisted upon the open season, and effect
lively demonstrated that they needed it
There is no question but that deer have
been shot occasionally in Essex county
and that the game has been killed by
dogs. Many complaints have been made
but it is next to impossible to get con
yiction, SO many are bound to be impli
gated in the illegal Staying.
For example the game wardens Sc
