MAN AND THE HORSE.
Animal Conquest Marked One OF tn
Epochs In Civilization

Epochs In CIVILIZATION.
The conquest OF the horse by man
and its final utilization for all pur-
| poses which are discharged by steam
and electricity today marked one Of
the great turning points In the history
Of civilization. In thS great earth and
sand preglacial deposits OF Europe the
true wild hcrSe is as widespread
though not as varied. as in America
Ii is not at this stage associated with
the remains OF man. because no pre-
glacial man except the pithecanthro-
pus or trinn man OF Java has been
found. In the interGlacial or postgla-
cial period the remains OF man and
the horse are first found together. The
first association occurs in the middle
Of the paleOlithic or rough implement
period. The discovery OF all the posi-
bic uses Of the horse came very gradu-
ally. however. for there is abundant
proof that man first hunted and ate.
then drove and finally rode the anil
NAL.
The prevailing drawings OF the pa
leolithic horse represent him as hog
NAMED, with no forelOck TO conceal the
low bred Roman nose. \ second type
in the MOuthe cave, n bearded horse
with long, bristling name, long ears
and convex forehead, is regarded by
Nj. Riviere as another species. But it
Is not clear to my mind that these
drawings represent more than the
summer and winter coats OF the same
animal. Besides these Roman nosed
types, 10 which Ewart traces the mod
ern cart horse, there are others with
small heads and fiat noses, which
Ewart associates with the Celtic pony
and possibly with the origin Of the
thoroughbred. Other cave drawings,
reproduced by NJ. Captain, leave little
doubt that the ass was known in Eu-
rope. 1t is also certain from abundant
evidence in the caves Of France that
there was Il larger horse toward the
south perhaps, while the smaller
breeds may have frequented the colder
northern regions.-Century

cuILFoRD PANTHER's FAME.
A New York World Version Of His
ProWess.

The long, unearthly screech of a
lpanther, not unlike the voice of wo-
man ir ngnr-.r, mas startled the people
of the quiet little village of Guilford,
situated on the western slope of the
Green Mountains, until women and
children are afraid to move out of
doors after dark. A posse of farmers
is now securing the woods in hope Of
getting a shot at the animal.
In the early part of the fall several
herds of young cattle were killed and
eaten, and soon thereafter the identity
of the marauder was made known by
its piercing yell. The animal was seen,
but on each occasion those who saw it
were unarmed, and the animal stealth
lily crept away The depredations Of
the animal were not confined to cattle
alone, but soon sheep began to disap-
pear, and the loss became so severe
that a determination was made to rid
the community of the animal
The village of Guilford is strictly a
farming community, and it was an
easy matter to get the men together
and form a posse to kill the beast.
Days have been spent by small parties
of men, but the most they have dis
covered are the footprints of the ami
NAL in the snow or the remains of a
half-eaten COW or sheep.
The unsuccessful search for the ami
NAL has convinced the minds of some,
the older inhabitants. that a
calamity is hanging over the town,
and that disaster must happen be-
fore the animal is killed. In the small
store in the village there Is
but one subject of conversation when
the farmers gather in the evening to
smoke and talk-the panther and its
ferocious attacks. even upon human
beings, when the state was less thickly
populated and such animals freely
roamed through the woods. The re-
suit of these stories is that the women
and children have come to dread the
presence of the panther, and when its
horrible screeeh is heard through the
darkness of the night the children cry
md the women gather closer around
he lighted tables and tremble.

GOLD CRAZE ENDED.
Plant Of Readsboro Gold Mining Com
pany Abandoned.


C. A. Cook. the promoter and prac-
tical organizer of the Readsboro Gold
Mining company, has withdrawn from
that organization and no further at
tempt will probably be made to ex-
tract gold from the Deerfield valley
hillsides. For two years or more ex-
perments have been carried on with
the ores obtained from different locali-
ties, thousands of dollars have been
spent. but the yield was not enough to
warrant the probability of any rich
mines. and the abandonment of this
plant has resulted.
When the craze first started two
years ago there was great excitement
through the valley. Real estate on
which it was supposed gold would be
found advanced to almost fabulous
prices. While the excitement was at
its height the company was formed in
Greenfield, Mass. with a capital of
$4,000 Gov. J. G. Mccullough was
elected president. and former State
Auditor O. NJ. Barber was one of the
directors. The leading stockholders
were Moses and James H. Newton, of
1oiyohe, MISS rItueiiSh 4NeNtoi was
made manager, with Mr.. Cook as as
sistant.
For tipe the prospects of the COM
oany were bright. but the returns from
he ore did not begin to come up to
he expectations and they have grown
ess and less until the company has |
declared the enterprise a |
allure. with the departure of Mr. /
,ook Frederick Newton started for I
colorado where he will engage in the
mining business.

Saturday afternoon and evening, TAX
ing advantage of the opportunity Civ
en- them to learn the good points about
the Quaker Home range over 1000
cream of tartar biscuits, made by Mrs.
George Harris of this town. We're bak-
ed in one of these ranges and distri-
buted among those who wished to
sample its products. and all who tried
the biscuits were unanimous in the
opinion that they could not be improv-
ed upon. George A. Ulmer of the !
Taunton Iron Works was present and
officiated at the oven, explaining the
many good points which the Quaker
Home ranges possess. BY an entirely
new fiue arrangement the entire five
sides of the Quaker range oven are
heated. and in this way an entirely ev-
en- heat is secured. This arrangement
not only makes possible an absolutely
uniform bake but insures the saving of
one fourth of the fuel.
Five of these ranges are offered by

to Await Action Of Grand Jury.
A young man about IS years old
walked into Waterman e. Martins law
office late Monday afternoon and in
quired for the United States district
attorney Upon being confronted by
Mr.. Martin the young man said: II
have come here to give myself up"
Mr.. Martin was naturally rather Curl
GUS to know what sort of a crime had
been committed so he sat down and
heard the young mans story. He said
his name was Edward L. Hutchinson
and that he had come that day from
Weathersfield to surrender himself for
crime that he had committed last
October while living in Halifax Hut
crimson found in the rural delivery
mail box on the farm at which he
worked letter for Harry Prouty from
the j. w. Tuttle Co.. of Boston. He
opened the letter and found check for
s25. Indorsing Prouty's name on the
check Hutchinson took it to the Peo-
pies National bank signed his own
name below the forged endorsement
and secured the money.
Hutchinson said he afterward learn
ed that Prouty found out about the
missing check and that the bank made
good the loss Meanwhile the matter
was placed in the hands of a post Of
flee inspector who traced Hutchinson
to Weathersfield last week but did not
find him. Hutchinson said that he
went first to Judge Wheeler, but the
latter told him Mr.. Martin was the
man to see.
After hearing the story District At
torney Martin took the young man be-
fore Judge Wheeler. who ordered him
to the county Jail at Rutland to await
the action of the grand jury. Mr..
Martin happened to be going to Rut-
land himself so he acted the part Of
United States marshal and took Hut
Crimson to that city Tuesday morn
ing.
Hutchinson was implicated in legal
last spring while working in
Jamaica. At that time he borrowed
mileage book from his employer and
hen left with the book and two al
eyed valuable dogs. The matter was
settled by Hutchinson's paying for the
part of the mileage he had used and
