FAMILY ON A TRAMP.
Parents and Eight Children Covered %
Miles Monday-eolns from Syracuse, NJ.
", to Augusta, Me.

A country travelling family, Mr..
and Mrs Fred lager and their eight chill
Gren' passed through Brattleboro Monday.
Ihey attracted much attention Jaeger
Is a German, about 40 years old, and his
WIFE, Lucy, is French, and about 81
years of age. Both have been married
before, and each have four children nv a
FORMER marriage. They were married to
each other little less than a year ago
IN Syracuse, N. Y, and now are travelling
on foot from Syracuse to the former home
of Mrs. Jaeger in Augusta, Me.
They are on foot, with the exception
OF the latest addition to the family, a
slX-weeks-old baby girl, who is making
the trip in a clothes basket placed in a
wheelbarrow. The only property thew
have in the world consists of the clothing
on their persons a little bundle of under
clothing, which is washed occasionally
In brook, and the wheelbarrow. two
canary birds, a dog and a gun.
They are without money, but all are
as happy and contented as though thew
had thousands Of dollars. Their LAST
money was paid for two pints of milk
which were bought from a farmer for
the baby
The oldest of the children is about -.
ana the youngest, aside from the baby,
ABOUT -FOUR. They came here from BEN
nlngton, over the mountain. In the great
neat they made 2S miles, They have had
plenty OF adventures on the road but say
that every one has treated them kindly.
Ihey had little property at one time in
syracuse, but with their large family were
unable to keep it,
Mrs. Jaeger has a father and mother
and seven brothers in Augusta and they
are confident when they reach that city
they will be kindly cared for until the
husband can find employment Beatty
Balestier gave them 81 and Mrs. Bales
tier fitted out the mother and children
with clothing. Mrs. Balestier gave the
woman dress among other things and
this was great source of pleasure to
Mrs Jaeger, as she said 1t would allow
her to make a presentable appearance
when she reached her people at Augusta.
Tramping through the country had
obliged Mrs. Jaeger and her Oldest daugh-
ter to wear short skirts and their dresses
apparently had been cut or with dull
knife. Mr.. Balestier desired to hear II
they reached their destination safely and
so he gave them an addressed envelope
and asked them to write after they had
reached Augusta. This they promised to
do and the envelope was placed under the
baby. All are in good health.

The War as an Advertisement.
[From wade,s Fibre and Fabric. !

The war between Russia and Japan,
now practically at an end, may be regard
ed as the most stupendous advertisement
of modern times-if not, indeed in the
whole history of the world.
1t has advertised, for the Russian no.
bility, their land hunger their disregard
of solemn pledges, their boastfulness and
their incapacity to lead their forces TO
victory on land or on sea.
1t has advertised, for the Russian peo-
pie, their terribly oppressed condition, and
has turned so fierce a glare of publicity
upon them that for very shame their
rulers must consent to some amelioration
of their unhappy lot.
1t has advertised for the Japanese, their
previously unsupported ability in military
and naval operations, the wonderful ca
pacity of their medical department in
time of war, their dignity and moderation
as victors.
1t has advertised, likewise the tremen-
dous possibilities of the vast empire of
China, as a factor of immense Importance
in all future consideration Of the far East,
whether commercially or otherwise.
Finally, 1t has advertised to every think
ing man in this country, in Great Britain
and in the nations of continental Europe,
the fact that in what Japan has done, and
done so admirably, there is a lesson Of
becoming humility to all other peoples on
the earth.
The immensely costly publicity--in other
words, the advertising-of this great war
has been such as to change the aspect OF
the whole world for all mankind.
BY as much as we now have a more
Just appreciation of those who dwell in
the great areas abutting upon the western
shore of the Pacific ocean-by as much
as we hold them in increasing respect be-
cause OF the events of recent months-by
Just so much are we broadened In our
conception Of what is due from us to them
in the future; and likewise are we taught
the truer patriotism of moderating our
own national self esteem.

wANoERER HAS RETURNED.
Henry Buxton, Who Disappeared from
sa~tons River Was on Mountain II
Days Without Food.


So weak from lack Of food that he could
| scarcely drag one foot after the other
iiehry Buxton has returned to his lodg-
ings at Saxtons River after being absent
IN the mountains nearby for IL DAYS. as
ne says with no food, except what little
nourishment he could derive from berries
ana roots, no shelter except that of a
tumbledown barn.
Buxton disappeared suddenly and with
OUT apparent cause two weeks ago and
the rigid search which was made for him
Tor nearly all that time proved utterly I'M
awaiting He was thought by many to
nave committed suicide either by hang
ing or drowning, and had been given up
by the most optimistic when he limped
INTO the village and asked for something
to eat.
Buxton is a young man about 30 years
old, unmarried, and was for a time an
inmate of the insane asylum at Water
pury. Since his release he has been en-
ployed as a farm hand and hostler.
On the night Of his disappearance. he
was at work in the barn cleaning har-
ness. Without word to anyone after
he finished his work he started for the
mountains and for IL days thereafter was
not seen again. The fact that Buxton
dld not appear next morning gave
his employer some alarm, and after two
days had passed the entire community
turned out to search for the missing man.
The students of Vermont academy with a
posse Of citizens went to the last place
where Buxton had been seen and in ex-
tended order raked through the woods in
fruitess search for some clew to the
mystery.
All hopes of his ever returning to the
town had been abandoned when with no
explanation as to why or where he went.
Buxton returned to the village as suddenly
and mysteriously as he had disappeared.
Naturally non communicative, it was
some time before he would even state
that he had been In an old barn on the
mountain. He will be some days re-
covering his strength again, but is not
expected to experience any lasting eff
fects from his experience.

Arthur Raymond, S5, shot himself
through the head at Marshfield Sum
day. He has always borne a good repu-
tation He is alive but there is little hope
OF recovery He has a wife, one child
and several step children.
William Sheenan, 32, committed sui
eide by drowning in the river at Fair
Haven late Saturday night. He left home

hat was found on the bank of the river

the body from 20 feet of water. Shee-
han had been in a highly nervous con-
dition Of late as the result of overstudy

4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION.
State Board Of Health Issues Warning
Against Use Of Explosives and Treat
ment of NNounds

ONoNS Twain W ioohCo warning
Against Use Of Explosives and Treat
ment Of Wounds.
DIR. H. d. Holton, secretary Of the state
board OF health, has sent the press of the
state the following letter regarding the
use OF explosives on the Fourth OF July
The letter reads:
LETTER OF WARNING.
To the People of Vermont:
We are again approaching independence
day and must expect that the usual ex-
plosives will be in the hands Of the small
boy and the youth nearing manhood.
What will the harvest be?
The noise Is a source of annoyance to
the sick and feeble, often producing very
serious results. Your attention was called
to the matter last year. In previous
years there had been a large mortality
from tetanus, the result of wounds from
1.-THE blank cartridges. By reason that the
public were better informed of the
dangers attending this class OF injuries.
the deaths from tetanus last year were
reduced in the whole country rs per cent,
but the deaths from other explosives was
increased 80 per cent.
The press have urged a reform in the
celebration of this day; for the safety of
our children we would most earnestly en-
dorse a change, which shall do away with
fire crackers, dangerous fireworks and the
careless firing Of cannon and other fire
arms The increase in mortality last
year was from wounds by these ex-
plosives. II a wound is received from
either the blank cartridge of a toy pistol
or other explosive, no matter how trivial
do not temporize with it, call a surgeon
at once and have II dressed in a thor
oughly antiseptic manner. The period of
incubation of the tetanus bacilli is twelve
days. Before the expiration of that time
the tetanus antitoXine should be given as
a preventive.
By the state board of health.
HENRY D. HOLTON,
Secretary.

Sympathy.

Give me the eyes that look on mine,
And, when they see them dimly shine,
Are moister than they were.
Give me the eyes that fain would find
Some relies of a youthful mind
Amid the wrecks of care.
Give me the eyes that catch at last
A few faint glimpses Of the past,
And, like the arkite dove,
Bring back a long-lost olive bough,
A heart that once could love.
And can discover even now
