DEER IN THE WOODS.
Their Appearance Deceives All But the
Old Hunter-Easy Until One Tries 1t.

Next to the difficulty Of comprehenling
the wonderful sense of the deer is that OF
understanding how one looks in the woods
Your ideas are necessarily taken from pic
lures or from stuffed deer or tame ones
In park. You are almost certain to be
looking for a deer, whereas you might
better be looking for almost anything
else. In the woods you seldom see half
of deer and generally much less. often
only a part of the shoulder, or only an
ear over log or leg under it, a bit OF
rulnp projecting from a bush or a head
and bit of the neck reaching up for leaves.

satisfactory to the chap who always has
to shave before wooing nature. You may
indeed, get a good shot in this way, and
It is generally the only way to see the

COMMON SENSE AND

important features of common

Is A PURE FABRICATION
Senator Proctor indignantly Denies
Yarn about an Anti lection Deal
about U. 5. Senator6hip.

Montpelier, Oct 9.-When Senator Red
field Proctor arrived in Montpelier by
special train at . o'clock this evening
from ST. Johnsbury East. where he had
been with representatives, of the Vermont
Legislature to attend the funeral Of
Gen. w. w. Grout, a Free Press man
called his attention to the story sent out
to-day from Rutland and published in
the st. Adams Messenger to the effect
that an election deal was made by which
Fletcher D. Proctor withdrew from the
gubernatorial nomination and threw his
support to General Mccullough. In return
for this Mccullough after his election as
governor was to appoint Fletcher ID.
Proctor to the seat in the United States
Senate, which was to be made vacant by
the resignation of Redheld Proctor.
senator Proctor was asked if he had
AM reply to make to this statement. He
at first somewhat Indignantly replied:
1T isn't worth answering"
When he read the last paragraph
"rhe theory of the Clement men is that
Senator Proctor is to resign on account
Of his poor health" he smiled hlaudly and
said in his quaint way: Hold on, there
may be something to this This dispatch
says / am in poor health. Wei, | have
journcyed 500 miles in a canoe this sum
mor and have just come down from New
Brunswick where I killed my moose.
Perhaps / am in poor health after all but
this is the first l had heard of it."
Senator Proctor stamped the story as
a pure fabrication not worth answering
seriously
Ills ruddy, sun-hrowncd complexion,
firm hand grasp and bright eyes gave in
dications of anything but poor health. -

will say of the state of trade:
Cooler weather has brought the coal
supply question homo to millions of peo-

all other matters in the public eye An
noyauce and extra expense to manufac-
turers rather than depression or real suf-

are as yet the main results Soft coal If
foreign and domestic origin. oil and gas
have taken the place of anthracite coal
with surprisingly little friction. Iron
smelling alone Of all the great industries
has heen seriously curtailed, the brick
manufacturing has suffered and small
hand" laundres have been crippled
A fair trade is doing in dry goods at
New York and Boston. The caster tone
of raw cotton has made manufacturers
more inclined to do business. Stocks Of
cottons are small both at first and seconds
hands. Wooden goods are active at all
markets.
In women's wear cheviots note special
activity and fancy goods sell the best in
five years. Spring trade advces are bet

as to the coming holiday business are OPP

but tin plates, wire and nails are weak
Other industries are active and the east

larger grain receipts and heavy buying
by the West at the East, is proving pro-
fitahe to the railroads. Flour production
Is about at its maximum and demand is

SHALL VERMONT HAVE A TYPO

To the Editor of The Free Press;


Burlington, Vt. oct 7, 1902.
To the Editor of The Free Press:
As State geologist. I wish to bring

" hich has come from the United States
Geological Survey whereby an accurate
Typographical map OF Vermont may be
secured at much less than half the cost
of preparation. No such map nor any
thing at all approaching 1t has ever been
made.
The United States Survey proposes t.
cooperate with the Vermont survey in
the preparation OF such a map as is de-
scribcd below in such a manner tina; AZ
the cost of one-half of the field work,
surveying etc, the state can secure a
map which will stand as the basis of any
future geogra phical or geological work.
The other half OF the cost of survey as
we'll as the entire cost Of drawing, en-
81 aving, printing and publishing the
maps is to be borne by the United States,
What the maps will be may be under
stood from the following statement
which the director OF the national sur
vey has sent
THE maps that result from these CO.
operative surveys show, in different col
ors, the following principal facts:
