1t happened in u crowded railway
carriage. a very fat and BUMP
tious man was making general
nuisance of himself to the other oc-
cupants OF the carriage, explainil
in loud voice his cuteness and sue
cess in most things. Some of the
people in the carriage smiled pity,
ingly, some merely looked bored
but one solemn individual eyed the
fat boaster with stony and immov-
able stare. The latter at last be.
came uneasy under this unwinkine
scrutiny and, turning to the man.
said blusteringly:
"Well, what yer looking at me
like that for? Want to eat me?"
"No," was the crushing rejoinder

HIGH PRICES FOR TURKEYS
Many Vermont Turkeys Shipped to
Boston and New York.

Vermont turkey dealers and YER
mont eaters were little shy on this
bird for Thanksgiving, as immense
shipments were sent to B )ston and
New York markets where higher
price is paid. The ruling price for
the average turkey in Burlington is
Is cents pound, several cents more
than was paid last season and the
top notch for long time in that Sec
ton of the state at least. This of
course has a tendency to make other
fowls higher and good chickens
bring IS to IS cents per pound. The
western birds are being shipped into
Vermont to supply the demand and
as rule are much larger than those
raised in Vermont. Boston, how
ever, wants Vermont turkeys and
must have them at any price.
