at Washington Valley, a small farm
ing community three miles west of
Morristown, the farmers have known
for several years Of the existence of a
pack Of wild dogs on Trowbridge
Mountain. These dogs grew SO bold
that in winter they often carried on
sheep and hogs Even cattle were at
tackled. From year to year the dogs
have grown wilder, until now they
have the characteristics Of wolves,
from which they sprang. Recently
several hunters have been pursued by
them. William Gould had the most
exciting experiences some days ago,
and his tale has aroused the farmers to
action so that now they have formed
themselves into posses and have been
hunting down the wild dogs, with a
view to DISCRIMINATING them. Gould
was returning late in the evening from
q hunting trip, when he heard the
snarling Of the wild dogs close at hand.
He saw cleaning eyes a couple of rods
away, and concluded to kill the animal.
But on attempting to fire he found he
had no shells left. Then he discovered
that he was nearly surrounded by these
dogs, Using hig gun as a club he made
a dash at the nearest animals, and sue
ceeded in breaking through the line.
Then he ran for life, pursued by the
bowling pack, which would undoubt-
edly have torn him TO pieces had they
caught him. He managed to reach a
barn ahead of them and thus saved his
life. About twenty dogs have been
killed.

Edith could not say whether the

when she went to the window, and
there were no means Of confirming the
fact afterward, because in pulling up

Perhaps one Of the oldest pets in AL
bany is a full-grown owl owned by
William Hill, Of 81 Washington ave-
nue.. Mr.. Hill has farm in the vicin-
ity Of Greenbush Heights. and last fall
while gathering the apples from his or
chard he captured the owl and brought
it home with him.
( An owl, when captured after attain
ing its full growth, is considered one Of
the hardest birds in the world to keep
alive in captivity. Yet Mr.. HIPS owl
has never shown any signs Of pining.
It's favorite roost is on the top OF d
large clock in Mr.. HIPS place Of busi-
ness, where it perches for hours at &
time. like Poes raven on the marble
bust Of Pallas. On this account it has
been christened owl Father Time. I"
Three or four times during the day it
will fy around the room.
Mr.. Hill believes that owls can see
much better in the daytime than NEST
persons suppose. for his bird has no
trouble In making the circuit OF the
room without colliding with anything.
Moreover, when a piece Of fish is left
on bench the owl promptly flies to it
and deyours it. AT other times when
hungry the owl will leave his perch on
the clock, fly down to the foot and take
his station within about two feet Of his
master, where he will cock his head
first on one side and then on the othor
in the most comieal manner. When ~
is given something to eat he promptly
returns to his perch on the clock. US Ar

new JERSEY STATE NEWS
Life praserver Case Tried.

Judge William M. tanning, in the
United States District Court, at Tren-
ton, heard the final arguments on the
demurrer to the indictments Of III. @.
Quantard, j. III. Stone, Charles w.
Russ and James Russ, in which they
were charged with defrauding the Uni
ted States Government by putting
pieces of iron in cork that was used in
making life preservers. The indicted
men are connected with the N0npareil
Cork Works. The principal arguments
for the defendants were made by Sem
ator Edmund w. Wakelee. President
of the Senate; Banking and Insurance
Commissioner David O. Watkins, Clar-
ence D. ThoTnall, of New York, and
Wendell J. Wright, of Englew00d. The
argument for the Government was
made by District Attorney James v.
Vreeland. One Of the main points
made on behalf Of the defendants was
that it was not shown that the life
preservers in question were not up to
the required buoyancy. the fact being
that they had been shown to exceed
the requirement in this respect. 1t was
further claimed that it was not incuin-
bent upon the defendants to show the
DuOyancy or the preserVers, only Ger
tain weight and that the preservers in
question were up to the standard. An
other point made was that the defend
ants had no knowledge that the cork
they were making was to be used for
life preservers, and that the Govern
ment was not defrauded because the
defendants did not sell direct to the
Government. District Attorney Vree-
lands argument was in refutation Of
the claims set up by the defense. The
court reserved decision.

Does it pay for banks to advertise
says the Springfield (Mass.) Republi.
can. Five years ago some banks in
Pittsburg, Pa, began to advertise. and
recently they measured the results by
comparing their business with that OF

paper continues. Ia the five years ths
