in the Cunard Lire office opposite, in
Moore street, were surprised to see a
coil of rope flung from fOurth-story
window of the hotel and a man emerge
and climb carefully down hand under
hand to tie sidewalk. Then he walked
slowly up the street toward Broadway.
The Cunard clerk told the hotel people
of the occurrence, and headed by Day
Clerk Seldner, pOrters, bell boys and
guests, rushed from the corridor into
Broadway and around into Moore street.
There was the fire rope hanging from
the northwest room on the fourth floor.

Company, and there sat Jacques looking
very comfortable and cool.
"What did you come down the rope
for?' demanded Jacobson.
"Why, because some gosh burned

replied Jaques. 81 didn't mean to be
murdered in my room, not by long

LIQUOR SALES IN LAMOILLE.

The Rutland Herald has been at pains
to figure out from the 1902 data of liquor
agency sales, that our county of Lamoille
has the highest per capita average, or
$500 to each man, woman and child'in
the county. The figures are presumably
correct enough, but they should not be
used to place Lamoille in unfavorable

McCrory people enjoyed them selves to the superlative on last
 Wednesday. There were two fish fries; one at Sullivan lake, about one mile south of the Iron
 Mountain railroad tank. There were some IA persons present with plenty to eat and fish galore. The other crowd, consisting of some seventy, spent the day on King lake a mile or two north of the Iron Mountain railroad tank. The News man was one of the 70 and the way all seemed to enjoy
 themselves, was enough to make a sick-man feel himself in para
 disc. While,the fishermen did
 not have as much luck as they
 might have desired, yet there
 was enough to eat for twice the
 number. Ask pr. Neal how he enjoyed the coffee old lady Nancy cooked. He only drank 14 tubs full empty, And that is no con- vention talk either. The fisher men caught fine grinnel and the way some Of our people ate the thinly sliced pieces, one would naturally believe they took the word of some jokers and ate it for catfish. On the way home, the News man had an ocular dem onstration of what the people of Kansas denominate sockless Jerry Simpson. A little dis tance ahead of our hack, we saw Boyd Angus and his friend MT. Reynolds, of Judsonia. MT. Reynolds was complacently seat ed in the buggy while our sock less, shoeless, rolled-up-tro Boyd was wading through mud and water gently leading his dearest horse. The horse, after a gentle start, would trot along nicely and sockless would have to jump in the buggy on the fly. Boyd has our sympathy and we trust he will soon stop driving that pony or quit humoring it. The people at both fries had splendid times.
