Berlin Deer Story.

Frank Andrews OF Berlin, was in Barre
last week and reported deer story. He
said that he saw a good siz.d buck back of
bis place. Two hounds, that he did not
know, were 'ol'o wing it.
Ono OF the hounds jumped at the buck
and caught it by one che. K. The animal
then with one hind leg Knocked the dog
OF and then tossed it into the air, catching
1t on his horns when it descended. The
dog was killed and the other one, seeing
the fate OF bis companion put for the woods
At live ly rate and was not seen again.
The deer also made off after the deed had
been done. "a.
Mr.. Andrews, when asked what he was
doing oil this time, said he was hunting for
Cartridges to slip into his gun in order
that be might shoot the dog.
don't propose to have any dogs
around my place worry the deer"

The feature that will attract especial
notice is the disclosure that the w'st
and south lead in murders. 1t is noted
that one-tenth of all the murders IN the
United States are committed in Texas,
fact which Improves the contention OF
criminnlogists that crime is in proportion
to density of population. II is also noted
that Illinois, with population of 5,8OO,-
600, averaged less number Of HON clde'
annually than Mis'i.sippi, with popus-
ton of Only 1.050,000. Vermont with
population of 10000, has only six muir
ders year. Will Nevada, with p pult
tion of only 10000, has an average OF 81
homicid annually.
With a no nicidsl record of 10000 muir
ders y-sr in the United States, the task
that is before the church, the schoolbouse
the home. and the state is big enough tt
stagger human optimism and Christian
courage.-Chicsgo Times-Herald.

Senator Browns Wife Eloped.

The Burlington Daily News Of last week
contained a sensational story of the elope-
ment of Mrs. Helen Brown, wife of SEN
ator R. E. Brown, with DR.. Charles w.
Jacobs Of Richmond. ..a
1t appears that Mrs. Brown and DR.. Ja-
cobs have been intimate torseveral years.
This intimacy has caused much gossip, both
in Richmond and Burli' gton. On the
evening OF November IL, la t, Mrs. Brown
left Burlington, saying she was coming to
Montpelier to visit her husband. She did
not come to the city, nor has she been
since seen in Burlir gton. On that date
DR. Jacobs received cipher despatch from
Burlington and went there on the morning
train Since that time the Whereabouts OF
the doctor and Ms Brown have been
unknown, but . strong chain OF circum-
stautial evidence points to the fact that
they eloped.
Dr.. Jacobs left . wife and two married
daughters. HIS home and all bis property

wore . new suit Of clothes when be vent
away, but had very little money. His wife
declares he shall never enter her house

also for Senator Brown, Who il said to be
in no way responsible or at fault for the
frailry OF his wife.
1t is not known Just what time the in.i-
macy began between BIN and Mrs. Brown.
It has b, en- thorn In the Ash to Mrs
Jacobs for many years. A correspond nee
is known to have passed betw- en- them at
more or SIS regular intervals for many
years. Mrs. Jacobs discovered some of
the letters once and chided her husband
for his indiscretion but Sc mingly to no
purpose. The doctors reputation suff red,
