She was sitting on top of the step
ladder before the high bookcase
whittier she had mounted to read the
titles of the musty volumes on the up
per shelves. But they had not proved
very interesting, so she had taken pity
on a bust of poet, which
surmounted the case, and was busily
rubbing the dust from his eyes with
her cambria handkerchief And as
she rubbed, she sang, running rag
time tunes and other airs together in
a tumble that would have set a Wag-

The scenic splendor of New England's
lake regions is known the world over,
and gradually these lakes have become
the sauntering place of hundreds, yes,
thousands, of pleasure seekers. And
this popularity is accounted tor in many
ways, but the greatest attraction, no
doubt, is the pure air which pervades
these lake regions. Fine scenery is not
lacking, neither are the recreation feat
ures wanting. Every lake in Northern
New England is beautifully stocked with
the choicest varieties of fish, and fishing
alone is an enticement of importance.
The Boston & Maine Railroad reaches
all of the important lakes in the East.
including Winnipesaukee, Sunapee,
Memphremagog, Moosehead, Rangeley
and hundred Others fully as noted.
That the tourist may know of the
varieties and beauties of the lakes, three
booklets. Lake Sunapee," Lake
Memphremagog' and Lakes and
Streams" have been prepared by the
General Passenger Department Of the
Boston & Miane Railroad, Boston, and
will be sent you upon receipt of two
cent stamp for each book. Another
pictorial publication issued by the COM
pany, known as New England Lakes"
is sent for six cents in stamps, and is one
of the handsomest portfolios ever issued.

Vermont's Hay Crop.

The Burlington News gives summary
of the hay crop, which shows how the
farmers view the harvest over on the
other side Of the state.
Tonight will about wind up the hay
harvest in Vermont The general opin-
ion is that the crop this season is above
the average in quantity although pos
sibly not of such good quality on account
of the catchy weather when the hay was
cured.

good one for haying and farmers have
taken every advantage Of it, The hay

is all in the barn but DR.. Webb has still
a great quantity to cut on his big estate.
