Few parents would approve of their
sCns obtaining such gift as fell to Paul
Carton of Sudbury Corners. He was the
seventh to bear that name, the first Paul
Carton having come to this country from
1Snglaud in 1852. The original Paul was
supposed by some to possess supernatural
7Cwers, and us people in those days were
open to all sorts of beliefs he mar
rOwly escaped the stake.

days Of wool-June % and July l6-at
which time the wool men will bring
their Clips to Pierre in large quantities
and eastern purchasers OF the article
notified in due time will come and thus
be enabled to purchase wool in large
coDeiRnmente. The amount of wool
marketed at Pierre last year is estimated
at 100000 pounds and the increase of
hocks the past year it is thought will
increase the amount Of the CLIP this year
to over q million pounds, which can
practically all be sold on these two sale
days.
