A PRINTERS DEVIL. 7

Nestled among the western foothills |of the Green Mountain sleeps the
 quaint, old village of East Poultney. A century ago its wollen factories on the Poultney River hustled with ac- tivity, but in one night raging flood swept them away. and the village fell |asleep. Even the clock in the church
 steeple remains to-day as 1t was hun |dred years ago. It has worn itself out, land it's motionless hands speak too plainly of the repose of the village.
 The Eagle Tavern at the eastern end |of the town was the regular stopping place of coaches on the old stage line from Albany to Burlington. Many prominent men of Colonial times have been it's guests over night. Just be- Iyond the tavern struggles the grave ward with it's moss covered marble slabs.
 Not far from the cemetery stands the building where, in 1922. ''The Poultney Gazette" one of the first papers pub |1ished in Vermont, was started. In 1925 the name of the paper was changed to ''The Northern Spectator" Early In
 the following year an advertisement for Ian apprentice brought Horace Greeley

 years old, had long cherished the idea Iof becoming a printer, and this was his opportunity ..
 Tn 1880 the publication of The

The family being gathered round the fire of yak-dung, in order that atmosphere, as the painters would say, should not be lacking, each one draws from some hidden recess in the folds of his voluminous sheepskin coat a little wooden bowl. and with a satisfaction which must be seen to be appreciated, fills his private dish with the liquid.

QUEER FIGHTS BETWEEN AMI
 MAILS.

A Fox Was Killed by a Rooster Kangaroo Battled With and Con- quered Buffalo Bull.
 l When once an animals temper has become aroused, it is strange how ut Eterly regardless 1t becomes of the strength and ability of the object of it's anger.
 l At Compton Pauncefote, in Somerset shire, a fox was killed in poultry yard by an infuriated cock. It appears l that the fox made q raid on the young chicks, and after killing several be- longing to certain hens, turned it's at tention to the brood of another. This lConduct, however, the plucky cock would not permit struggle, and rush. l ling at the fox, it was fortunate to pierce it in the eye with it's spur, with such force that the spur penetrated fright into the fox's brain, becoming so securely fixed that the victor could not remove it without the assistance of a farm laborer, who had been an inter- ested spectator of the contest between the ill-assorted pair.
 Another curious contest, between a kangaroo and buffalo, took place in a large geological park in the north of England. The two animals, after breaking loose from their inclosure, met face to face in an open space in the park Without any preliminary quarrel, the bull made furious on- slaught on the kangaroo, which at first contented itself with an endeavor to avoid the charge.
 After a few moments, however, the bulls attentions became altogether too personal to pass unrebuked, and, using its hoofs as battering rams, the kan garoo belabored the buffalo in the most effective manner. Roaring and below ing, the irate buffalo made repeated at tempts to gore it's antagonist to death, l but with scant success, the kangaroo proving a most Slippery" foe. The l fray waxed furious for over an hour at the end of which time the buffalo re- tired, not before however, it's carcass
 bore unmistakable signs of the kan- garoo's attention. GiIlies in Scotland relate many stories of fierce contests between stags. It is
 believed that these fights are invariably
 brought on through jealousy, caused by

A WOMEN ON THE TRAIL.

My husband was always a fisherman land hunter, and, like other outdoor men, never knows when to come. home; 50 that despite my entreaties and "fus- Esing," as he called it, he was always coming in long after dark. Usually he arrived with basket of fish or lot lof birds about the time supper was half over.

 and foolish!
 Of course I wore 8 long skirt, shirt waist, straw hat and veil, kid gloves and low shoes, and was as uncomforta- ble as it was possible for a woman to be. My skirt caught on every little brier and brush, my face was red with |sun-burn and once I annexed eight freckles, five of which were on my nose. Oh, those days! They haunt me like a nightmaret
 At last, however, I learned there was at least some pleasure in the woods, and began to take. real interest. I real ized that my clothes, while quite all right in towns did not fit my present occupation; so I resolved myself into a
 committee of one to investigate and de- eide on suitable costume. I wanted
 something comfortable that would fit

 I finally decided on short skirt, an ordinary canvas hunting coat, soft felt hat, double-breasted woolen shirt converted into blouse waist, a pair of trousers that were neither boomers nor knickerbockers, cotton stockings with woolen bicycle stockings over them, and a pair of ordinary heavy shoes with sensible heels. -a :z,.., 3-6,.a For wet weather and for wading I Ihave added a pair of boys rubber boots and featherweight rain cape which can be folded up and put away in my hunting-coat pocket when not in luse, as it only weighs about two pounds. @ '.Fit 34is Any woman will find this outfit, with perhaps some slight modification, to fit ! her own individual taste, almost the lIdeai dress for an outing trip anywhere.

lumn, or for scouting work, these trav- cling lofts have proved invaluable. Should, however, the base of operations be advanced, or a temporary post abandoned, the birds are at once dis earded and a new loft transferred to the altered surroundings. H Scouts, both mounted and on cycle, each carry from four to six birds in a bamboo cage, slung after the fashion of a knapsaek, and thus reports are sent back without the necessity of their leaving their post Of observation. For great distances two birds may be flown with the same dispatch. but this is sell dom required, the usual custom being to repeat each message on subsequent birds, so that the final pigeon liberated would not only carry Its own, but also copy of messages sent by the birds first liberated.
 It must be understood that the flight of tue pigeon would be seriously impe- ded were it to be burdened with any great weight, and consequently dis patches are written on specially pre- pared slips of rice paper. These, con trary to the general impression. are not Itied round the birds neck, but are rolled and placed in a celluloid holder, fastened by two clips to the birds leg, land are thus carried close under the tail of the bird when 1t is in flight. The total weight of this carrier, which is manufactured by a Belgium firm, is un- der four grams.
 The speed of the pigeon is another point which may be easily misunder- stood. Although it is true that under certain circumstances a pigeon will fly twenty three hundred yards a minute. or nearly eighty miles an hour, yet this Is only accomplished under exceptional Fly favorable conditions; fourteen hun dred yards minute, of fifty miles an hour, being fairer average. This. however, must not be taken to mean that the pigeon normally flies the dis- tance between two places fifty miles apart in an hour, as owing to it's now flying in an absolutely straight line 1t would probably take seventy-five min utes to accomplish the distance. For this reason. forty miles an hour is the speed usually credited to the birds. Distances up to three hundred miles it would cover at the same rate. but above that the average would often be
 much lower, owing to the birds not be- ling able to fly after dark. Whenever possible they are liberated at such an hour as enables them to regain their loft upon the same day; the risk of cap ture and the dispatcht falling into the enemy's hands being then reduced to a minimum

ed to see that be lined up with the
men in the preliminary practice and
their hearts nearly stopped beating

Piles of his gilt edge work at end.
The New York Sunday papers say
that Elder was the smallest, light
est and youngest Of any of the men
who have played or are likely to
play on the Columbia field. Elder
made a distinct hit with all of the
papers on account of the high class
football which he played There is
no doubt but what Elder is the
youngest player in any of the big
Eastern colleges and from all reports
he has his position on the Williams
team cinched for this year.
