other girl, who had boasted to him of hav-
ing given it to that Moog girl good and
plenty"
Miss Moog is confined to her room DR..
II. F. Hill, who is attending her, told Mrs.
Moog that il would be several days before
he could tell just how serious the wound
was. He also told Mrs Moog that had the
knife gone an inch further it would have
penetrated the lung.
Miss Moog complained of two blows in
the back When one Of these was deliv

livered the other blow had stone or some
hard substance in her hand. To the right

Moogs right shoulder is a severe bruise
which swelled considerably. the swelling
extending to the top of the shoulder

The Vermont Desperadoes.

The Springfield Republican refers
to the dramatic pursuit and capture
of the Shaws as having a certain
flavor of desperate life on the west
ern frontier, and say:
THE incident may set some PEG.
pie to thinking of Vermont civiliza.
ton at the close of the century.
There will be those who will say
that Vermont is rapidly degenerat.
ing, as further indicated by the
abandoned farms and the unoccupied
churches and the steady outflow OF
the best young men and women OF
the state into other commonwealths
But the case of the Shaws proves the
claim no more than other cases OF
crime. The desperate character OF
the episode simply furnishes the OPP
portunity to ventilate a theory that
Vermont is running down."
''If the state can be judged by the
quality of the youth that continue to
come from it to enter the colleges,
the law firms and the business enter
prises of other sections, it is appar.
ent that there is fine stock left on the
Green Mountain hills. Fifty years
from now it is likely that as much
will be said about the prominence
of the sons of Vermont as there is
today. Notwithstanding the drain
upon its youth, Vermont has Il
splendid reservoir of vitality"

WILES OF THE FOX.
Some Clever Tricks by Which Rey-

Some Clever Tricks by Which Rey-
nard Battles His Pursuers.
A fox Is entitled to all that is said
for its wisdom and sagacity. Not long
ago the Washington hunt of Valley
Forge started young fox in the North
valley hills, and the hounds We're run
ming it across the open field when the
larger fox come from the woods and
run diagonally across the track Of tho
young fox ahead Of the hounds, and
when they struck the stronger track
Of the bigger fox they took 1t up. young
Reynard thereby being saved from be-
Ing run down and killed by the hounds.
Old hunters say they have frequently
witnessed this trick when young foxes
were being closely pressed and in dam
ger of being run down and killed by
the hounds. Another and an even
sharper trick was played by an old FOX
some weeks ago while being horly
chased by hounds. The fox had run
some 20 miles. and while crossing an
open stretch of country was in danger
Of being run down and killed. In n
field through which the fox was run,
ming with the hounds close to its heels
was the cellar Of an old house. with
portion Of the walls still standing The
fox made straight for the old cellar,
leaped into 1t and made its escape
through narrow opening in the walls.
The hounds, suppOsing the fox was
trapped, dashed into the cellar pell-
nell. only to find Reynard gone and
themselves in trap, as the hole in the
wall through which the fox had es-
capped was too small to permit them to
get through.
When the hunters rode up. they
found the pack III trap. with one OF
the hounds wedged fast in the hole
through which the fox had made its
escape. BY the time the hounds were
got OFT OF the cellar the fox was safe
in its hOle.-PhiladeIplia Times.

Wars Mortgage on Civilization,

The debts of the civilized nations
now add up a total of over $3a, ooo,-
600, ooo-most of it incurred in
wars. To realize what 3o billions
means few comparative statements
are necessary.
The highest total value Of the en-
tire cotton crop of the United States
in any recent year was less than
$500, ooo, 900. If, therefore, the
whole American cotton crop were
sold for 100 years in succession, and
the proceeds applied to the payment
of the worlds misunderstanding
incurred tor wars and war piepara.
tons there would still remain an
unpaid balance Of nearly two billions
Prof. II. c. Adams of Cornell,
some time since calculated that the
interest payments alone on these ag.
gregated debts of the nations equal
the value of the labor of 5000, ooC
men working constantly at Sis pei
