SOUTH NEWFANE,
Death Of Mrs. e. M. Stratton.

Our community was much saddened to
hear of the sudden death of Mrs. T.. NJ.
Stratton on Saturday evening, March l,
in Brattleboro, where she had been stay
ing with her daughter, Mrs. Z. " Morse.
for the past two months. Mrs. STRAIT
tons maiden name was Mary Ann King,
and she was the daughter of Hosea and
Fatina Putnam) King. She was born
in Marlboro South Branch Jan. II. 1884
She was the last of a family of eleven
children. She was married to Ebenezer
NJ. Stratton of Newfane June Q, 1858, and
her married life was spent in that town
with the exception of five years-four
years of which was spent in Dummerston
and one year in Rhode Island. Mrs
Stratton was the mother of seven child
rem, four of whom survive her-Mrs c.
E. Brown of So. Newfane, E. n. Stratton
of Agawam. Mass, Mrs. E. " Morse of
Brattleboro and Mrs. G. f. Whitney of
So. Newfane. Mrs. Stratton was a de-
voted wife and loving mother, a kind
neighbor, forgetful of self in ministering
to the needs of her family and friends.
and manifesting a heartfelt sympathy
for those who were in trouble or in afflic-
ton. She had been a faithful and active
Christian. a member of the Baptist
church of this place for so years. and in
the church and society she will be greatly
missed. Mrs. Stratton was in her usual
health until Saturday afternoon at 3
o'clock when she was stricken with
apoplexy, and she did not regain con-
seriousness after the shock. The funeral
was held at the Baptist church in this
town on Tuesday. Rev. E. C. Fisher of
Guilford officiating. Mr.. Fisher had been
an intimate friend of the family.
Willard Bingham is i'll, and threatened
with grip.
y robin was heard on Sunday. We
have sympathy for the poor bird.
South Newfane people will be glad to
get their mail once more We have had
none since Monday night.
f. n. Stratton of Agawam, Mass, came
on Saturday to attend his mothers fun
eral which was held Tuesday.
The register of the So. Newfane school,
Miss Luella Williams teacher. shows a
remarkably clean record. The attendance
was 9i.6 per cent for the year During
the spring term eight of the % enrolled
were present every day. The peculiar
part of the record is, however, that the
attendance was best during the winter
term, when it was 96.2 per cent. All but
one of the q enrolled We're members of
the school for the full term. Forty
nine absences have occurred an average
of less than two days per pupil. The
following pupils were present every day:
Winnie Bellows, Ray Brooks. Frank
Bickford, Lawrence Ingram, May Kelsey
Guy Perry, Minnie Bellows and Roy
Bailey. What better evidence could we
have of prevailing good health among
the children and an active interest in
school work among teachers, pupils and
parents? Let the good work go on

CALLING THE TIGERS
copyright, 1902, by c. B. Lewis.]

Copyright. 1902, by c. B. Lewis.l
Colonel Ryder, stationed at Bangar
lore, India, missed from his effects
valuable ruby. The only person who
could have taken it was his body serv-
ant, who had served him faithfully
and honestly for many years. The
man protested his innocence. bit the
colonel ordered him hogged. The ac-
cused was a high caste man, and
hOgging meant social death to him.
In his distress he sent for an old man
named Doorunda. The old man came
and said to the colonel:
"Syng Rang is innocent. If you whip
him, he must die by his own hand to
wipe out the disgrace. Spare Linn, and
/ will do my best to find the thief who
stole your ruby"
The colonel at once reasoned that
Doorunda was partner in the theft
and announced that the fiogging would
take place on the morrow If the gem
was not given up. 1t was not restored,
and Syng Rang was publicly whipped
and committed suicide the same even
ing. AS for the old man, he disap-
peared from Bangalore. and there were
those who thought he might have tax
en- the plunder with him. -Four months
aafter the disgrace and death of Syng
\Rang and when the event was all but
forgotten the colonel and four other
officers of the Fifth went ON tiger
hunt into the foothills of the western
Ghauts.
Three or four tigers and couple
of panthers were bagged. ana not
an accident had happened. Then one
Of the servants reported that old boo
runda had been seen near the camp
and when acco ed 10y one who knew
him well had run away. His only Oh
ject could be revenge. but yet the mat
ter was treated lightly. No search was
made for him until his presence was
reported again. and then the servants
who were sent Cut cd Tot wish to
find him. lie had reputatio OF
which they stood in fear. After three
or four days. however, he entered
camp one day when all the officers
and NEST of the servants were away
on the hunt TO oae of the syces. or
ErOOmS. he said:
Il do not wish that harm should
come to my own k.a. but l will de-
strOy the sahibs root and branch. On
the third night from this. an hour after
midnight, you will hear me singing be-
hind those rocks up there. When you
do so, you must not lose a moment in
climbing a tree. Tell this to all 9th
ers, but say not word to the sahibs.'
But what is to happen when you
singY asked the groom.
what is to happen will happen"
With that Doorunda disappeared, to
be seen no more. The groom notified
all the other servants as they came in
and then went to his master with the
story. The five officers were made up
Of the colonel. major and three cap
tains, and the groom served one of the
latter. The story was passed along to

the colonel. who received it With q
sneer and sent cut word that If the
old man was caught sight of again he
should be made pris;.ner and held for
a flogsing. If any Of the officers was
inclined to heed the warning, he gave
no outward sign of it, but the servants
quietly prepared to obey the injunc
ton At midnight on the third night,
while the white men slept, the dark
skinned servitors left their campfires
and mounted into trees and remained
silent and watchful. For an hour all
around them was quiet and peaceful,
and some of them had begun to laugh
at their own fears when the shrill

cantation he walled out. and he kept
| it up for ten minutes. None Of the off,
| GERS awoke. The servants shivered
with fear as the voice continued, and
the horses stamped and snorted and
| pulled at their halters. 1t was strange
that men who sleep as lightly as SOL
| diers do should not have been aroused,
but it was so in this case. Two or
| the natives looked down from their
perches to see old Doorunda enter
camp with as many as dozen tigers
| frisking around MIN li::e so many
dogs He halted before the ccloners
tent and stood still for a moment, and
then. clapping his hands. he cried out:
Nov. now now. Now you may
rend and tear and kill to the last!''
A horrible tragedy followed. The
tigers separated and rushed upon thu
tents, and in only one case was shot
fred It was all over in five minutes.
Two of the horses broke away ana
escaped. but the others We're dragged
down. The nladGened tigers spranc
at the trees and ragged about. but OF
fered no harm to the Old man in their
midst When al! WAS over. Ee cuieted
them with whistle. and. standing in
; the center Of the camp. he said to
/ the terror stricken men in the trees
above him:

you vii! go back to Banga lore and tell
them what has happened, and tell

for the sahihs who We're innocent. but

could not be separated"
When morning. came. the natives
headed for Bangalore. and the tale
they told on arriving appeared so in
credible that all were locked up until
it could be investigated, 1t was found
true to word. Every officer lay drat
in his tent. ard each one had been so

living turned away from him with {.

public has heard so much during the last
year. The writer makes magniloquent
display OF his oratorial power in his three
column article; but loses entirely his

the school trouble and discussing events
that occurred here before Leonard ever
knew any OF the patrons Of this school.
man must be in a house before he can
be put out; hence a teacher must have
school before he can be petitioned out Of
H. yet Leonard appeared to know this to
be a fact.
The writer does not make the statement
emphatic, but the average reader would
infer from the trend of thought implied in
article that the sole aim of the trustees
was to dismiss Ross from the school and
Charley teach it out after his school closed
This is absolutely untrue; for Miss Lotta
Stemple was employed the first of FEBRUARY
to teach the school out, should we succeed

Ross says refused to let hrs witnesses
testify. There was only one refused. and
not until she had come as a witness the
third time. The store house OF knowledge
having been so nearly exhausted. the only
thing she could think Of was the conduct
OF the school, three years previous to this
when lady was teaching. in whose school
the witness was neither pupil nor witness
