at this point one of the laws, of the
state OF Vermont came to their
aid. It is that on complaint a
warrant charging intoxication may
issue, and police officer is empowered
to serve this at any time or place within
the jurisdiction where he has authority.
Relatives Get Out Warrant. ..
Without delay the opposing relative
hurried to the Office of q magistrate
and there made oath that on such and
such a date Columbus Huling, of North
Bennington, had been intoxicated on
the streets of Bennington. A warrant
was made out and given to police
officer, who went In the relatives car
riage to the octogenarian's residence.
While intoxication Is misdemeanor.
and an officer cannot forcibly enter a
mans house with a warrant for such
minor crime, the Vermont law makes
an exception in regard to drunkenness,
and the Bennington policeman went di-
rectly into Mr.. Huling's dwelling and
asserted his authority. - .+.....
Entreaty was of no avail, expostula-
ton vas useless. The police officer in
sisted that Columbus Huling should ac-
company him, and he did, pathetically
glancing back at the little house where
he had anticipated so much happiness
as he climbed into the carriage before
the door. In imagination one could
almost observe Cupid waving him a
fearful farewell. Into Bennington rode
the sad but wrathful prisoner and his
captor and disembarked at the Put
nam house, where, in comfortable con-
f1nement, the disheartened groom
elect was kept over night

An hour after his departure the ex-

The trio was the. observed Of all OBJ

let the populace know that most mo-

parlor, and In q few minutes was joined

Marks Of a*drilse;,

~
Some of Recreation's sporting contem-
poraries have published letters of cor
respondents who desire to know the
marks by which q grilse may be dis
tinguished from a salmon. To an old
fisherman thesproblem presents no diff
fculty. The grilse has a deeply cleft
tail, while that of the salmon even
when the fish Is small, is more nearly
square. In the case Of an aged fish, the
tail is actually convex. Again, the
scales of the grilse are detached with
great facility; you cannot handle G
grilse without the scales becoming de-
tached in quantities, while with an
adult salmon the scales are compare.
lively firmly attached. Then there is
an indescribable something about tina
shape of the grilse that distinguishes
It atsonce to an experienced eye. It IL
slighter, with smaller, sharper head.
The body Is less flexible. Size is M
guide to the grilse, as on some rivers
grilse are fully as heavy as the small
salmon, though this is contrary to the
general rule in Canadian streams.-J.
