Bellows Falls and North Walpole have
come, during the past few years, to have
a comparatively large citizenship of Po-
landers and their families They are
having regular ministrations of the
church by Polish priests a stated number
of times each year. They have, also a
number of local organizations or lodges,
not open to citizens of other rationale
ties. There are a much larger number
resident across the river than on the
Vermont side. Recently one of these or
CARNATIONS attempted to hold a picnic in
a large grove at the north end of North
! Walpolc village. Some Intoxicating
liquors were used, and number OF
roughs of other nationalties attempted
to interfere with their festivities, re-
sultng in what ought to be termed q
general scrap" between them. The
structure in which the liquors were be
ing handled was overturned. and the re-
suit, not creditable to our citizenship
was that the Polanders were roughly
handled. their picnic was broken up, anC
they had to get out of sight.

How Remi Redeemed Himself.

I wonder how many of my young
friends have ever been in the French
country. | do not mean the land beyond
the sea, but that part of Canada, on the
shores of the lower st. Lawrence popu-
lated almost entirely by French Cana
dams; for there are hundreds of small
villages between the Gulf of St. Law
renee and the city of Quebec in which
the English language is but rarely heard.
The children who inhabit this region
would be quite an interesting study to
those of you who have enjoyed all the
advantages of the education to be found
in towns and cities.
These young Canadians are as hardy
and self-reliant as the animals with
whom they frolic. They learn self-de-
pendence from infancy for they are
usually so busy that there is no time to
teach them any pretty baby ways or
otherwise pet them
One summer / accompanied a friend on
a skeUhing tour among these quaint,
primitive little villages. that remind one
so much of the Mormon and Breton vii
lagos of old France.
When down on the beach We had often
noticed with some curiosity. the half of
an old canoe, or dug-out, in which the
children used to play boat" We
learned that the other half did duty as
feeding trough for the pigs. 1t had been
ingeniously sawed in half when too old
to serve its original purpose. l had saun-
tered down one morning TO watch the in
coming tide, when | was startled by see
ing two very small children, one a sober
faced boy of six or seven years of age,
and the other a chubby faced little girl
of five, adrift in deep water, padding
about in the half canoe. ] was horror
stricken. but | saw at a glance how mat
tiers stood.

TO the waters edge, and the tide had

all unconscious of their danger, We're de-

seen their elders do.
AS long as they kept the open end of

paratively safe; but what if one of them
should happen to shift his or her posi-
tom l shuddered to think of the conse-
quences. What was to be done? l dared
not leave them and go for help; must
not even call for IT, for fear of alarming
the children. l felt rooted to the spot
and looked around in a bewildered man
ner, when I noticed a boy strolling up
the beach near me.
Now l had learned to dislike this par
ticular boy very much. He was a boy
who seemed to be perfectly Indifferent to
other peoples good or i'll will. And yet
can't say why l personally disliked him,
as | had never seen him do anything
downright wicked; his pranks l always
thought Were chiefly the result of
thoughtlessness. At his appearance the
children would scatter, while he would
beat down their sand houses and mud
forts He was always ready to provoke
game of fisucuffs with any one not
older than himself. In fact, he seemed
to have no friends but the dogs, and they

once. l saw him wade out until the water
came up almost to his neck. Then. with
one plunge he was fioundering about.
beyond his depth A new horror seized
me. Three children would now perish,
instead of two. But, no. Presently l
saw this boy, who was but fourteen
years of age, strike out vigorously until
within reach of the frail fragment Of the
canoe which he touched gently-iust
enough TO give it movement shore
ward. This he did at intervals until it
was within my reach. when wadng out
into the water l quickly drew the canoe
in, and the children were saved without
ever having been conscious of their peril.
But where was the brave boy who had
risked his life to save his little neighbors?
How my heart smote nae for ever having
entertained an unkind thought of him
Fortunately he soon emerged from the
water, in a half-fainting condition, and
as l tenderly helped him home | asked:
" Where did you learn to swim so well,
Remi?'
Il didn't know myself l could do it,"
ne replied. 81 never swan out any

Well, why did you go them"
Well, some one seemed to keep say
ing: Go, Remi and save the kid
dies, and l had seen my father and the
big boys do it, and I thought I'd try it,
But, strange to say, from that day
there was not better or more daring
swimmer along that coast than the young
nero of the half canoe, and, best of all,
there was no one the children more en-
joyed having take part in their games
than this same Remi Duval, whose first
nobel act of heroism seemed to have
driven all the unkindness out of his
heart and transformed him into the faith
full defender of all the smaller children
from that time forth, whenever or wher-
ever they might happen to need him.
