THE ANTI CANTEEN SIDE.

Mr.. EDITOR:-In the TELEGRAM
of March IL, you have an editorial up
on the alb lition of the canteen In the
army and refer to the reported dis.
orders claimed by the Chicago papers
to have occurred in the village OF
Highwood at Fort Sheridan following
the first pay day of the soldiers since
the canteen was discontinued. The
point made by DO h the Chicago pa.
pers and the TELEGRAM is that the
discontinuance of the beer selling can
teen increases drunkenness and dis
order on the part of the soldiers 10

published in Chicago, which the writ.

Some days ago the TELEGRAM print

the law abolishing the canteen. 1t
was stated that m4nv saloons and
Joints had started up and that drunk

when the inteen was present. The
facts were taken from reliable Chicago
newspapers and were supposedly true.

say the saloons have sprung up, has no

represent facts in order to furnish ar
guments for partisans for or against
any proposition. 1t therefore presents

1t is with much pleasure that we
note the unity of action which prevails
amongst the citizens of Mortified in
an effort to boom their industries.
Its results are apparent in many ways,
notable among them being the re.
markable increase in the Post Office
business which denotes a similar pros.
peEity in the business life of the com.
munity. "The Lord helps those who
help themselves" isan old saying, but
it is still significant. s. long as peo-
Pile sit still and wait for somebody to
come and bonn their town, their
hopes will remain vision of the fu.
ture. But if they unite and work to-
4ether harmoniously to accomplish
the task themselves, others will see
that they mean business and they too
will put shoulder to the wheel. The
Northtield board of trade has placed
Lhe Slaue Industry upon It's feet ard
outside capital has c me in to boost
them forward on the road to success
Mortified citizens are urged to in
vest tn ir money in the home project
and by doing so they are convincing
the world that the investment prOmis-
es well for every one. BY and by, in
this way, outsiders will begin to come
in and the growth will gather in
volume asst rolls along until finally
it will be known as the leading slate
center Of the country This may not,
of'course prove true, but we trust that
it will. At any rate the people of our
neighboring village are furnishing a
valuable example that should be fol-
lowed in every Vermont town wher-
ever there is the slightest indication
of the existence of natural resources.

PERIL MADE THEM FRIENDS.
The wild Beasts Herded Together 20
Escape "a Forest Fire.


An incident of forest fires in the hills
of the Descanso neighborhood. in south
ern California, illustrates the comrade-
ship that common peril brings about
among beasts as well as among men.
After the flames had completed their
work of destruction and spread pail
over the hills rancher went forth
among the charred stumps and smoking
brushheaps to look for a number Of cat
tie and colts which he feared had been
hemmed in by the fire He went across
gully and ridge in his search until at
last he saw his stock some little dis
lance ahead
He was more than astonished upon
coming up to the group to find not only
his cattle and colts, but deer, three
wildcats, a coyote and several rabbits,
all alive and apparently in no fear of
him. They watched his approach with
Indifference. the timidity gone from the
big eyed deer, no venom in the wild
cats purr and honesty shining in the
gray coyotes face. The rabbits sat on
their launches as meek as the pets of
children. But the poor coyote was in
pain, and as the farmer came close the
erstwhile robber of the roost dragged
his helpless hind quarters toward the
man in mute supplication. The legs of
the animal had been frightfully burned
The rancher was in no mood to make
friends of such strange creatures, and
at once drove his stock through the
smoldering brush, the deer going
along with the cattle, the rabbits hop
ping along at the rancher's heels, the
wildcats slouching along behind, and
the coyote. unable to follow, whining a
pathetic appeal for succor. When the
burning field was passed. the deer broke
into run for the distant hills, the rab-
bits were away like fash, and the old
defiance and snarling leer came back
to the wildcats, who scorned to make a
show of haste. They walked slowly out
of sight. San Diego Union.
