Vermont Roy at Yale VIII Push a Ri.
cycle Across the Continent SO that He
May Study Law.
William Hervey Rood of Brookfield, Vt. a
member of the graduating class in the acad-
emic department at Yale, has a novel
scheme laid out for beginning his future
career. Rood worked his way through the
preparatory school, and has worked his
way through Yale. He has no money, but
he is determined to be lawyer. He has
heard of a law office in San Francisco
where, he believes, he can get a chance to
read law and earn living at the same time.
The only obstacle in the way is the lack of
money to get across the continent.
Rood is a bicyclist, and he has determin-
ed to make his way across the continent on
his wheel and earn a little money as he
travels. During this trip he proposes to
Keep his eyes open for an opportunity to
get into law office, and if he finds good
opening he may not go as far as the coast.
If he fails in San Francisco, he says, he
will ride backite New Haven and enter the
Yale Law school next fall
The young man made the trip to Denver,
Col, year ago on his bicycle to visit his
classmate, Henry Bruce Teller, son of
Senator Teller of Colorado. Rood has had
an interesting career at Yale. Despite the
fact that he has had to work his way
through college, he has found time to help
conduct the Yale mission school for poor
boys in New Haven.

Parasite. Destroying Caterpillar COcOons
at Barre.

The forest worms are seeing their finish.
Wherever the worms are forming their
cocoons small green parasite has ap-
peared which attacks the caterpillar and
kills it before it energies from the cocoon.
This is in accordance with a prediction
made by Prof. wilkins and other entomol-
oeists last winter that nature would take
care of the pests in her own way sooner or
later. 1t is possible that in some places the
parasites are not destroying the pupe and
an examination of the cocoons forming
around the foundations of houses, fences
and other places should be made and the
pupe destroyed if the parasites have not
already disposed of them Barre Times

Norman Williams, the Chicago financier
and lawyer, died at his summer residence
at Little Bears Head, Rye Beach, N. H.,
Monday. He had been seriously i'll there
since April. He is survived by his wife, one

himself with Gen. Thompson, and the part
nership was not interrupted until the death
of the latter in 1888. Then the name of
the firm was changed from that of Will
lams * Thompson to Williams, Hall x

Long ago he realized a fortune in bis
practice and he identified himself with the
progress of the social and commercial af-
fairs of the city and was closely connected
with many public enterprises. He was a
director of the Commercial National bank,
of the Chicago and Central Union Tele-
phone company, of the Western Electric
company and of the Pullman Palace Car

The time for breeding mares will soon
bs at hand and the farmer who has q
good draft mare should breed her this
year, for the shortage Of horses grows
greater oil the time. The demand is for
heavy hUrses, and there is no profit in
grosing a little horse Of any kind on the
average farm. Not ono farmer in a
thousand has mare that can he bred to
a strotting stallion with any hope OF get
ting colt that will ever sell for $40
The man who breeds horses for speed
must be prepared with speedy mares,snd
the little farm mare with no particular
breeding is not the one he chooses tor
this purpose. What the world wants
now is horse weighing anywhere from
l,20O up to the limit. These are needed
for the heavy freight wagons Of the
cities, for the artillery Of the armies Of
the world, and the man who can furnish
thsm is the one Who will find the demand
good five years from now, when the re-
suits Of this springs breeding are coming
of age 10 sell. The country is full OF
nicely built, heavy mares working on the
farmss aud these will nick well with any
OF the~e big stations, and the progeny
will sell at price that will leave the pro.
ducer good profit. while these same
mares bred to some little quartz .ho, se, v
no matter how nice the mares or the
horse they are bred to will produce only
little horses that are drug ou the mar
