HARD FIGHT WITH A DEER

Deputy Sheriff c. 1. Knapp of
Brattleboro had the most exciting
deer hunt OF his life Saturday fore
noon, Oct. II, resulting in bringing
down a buck on Black mountain in
Dummerston which dressed I67
pounds. Mr.. Knapp fired at long
range and the buck fell, the bullet
taking effect in his back, Mr.. Knapp
concluded that the bucks back was
broken, and he ran to within few
feet of him, putting down his rifle,
and prepared to finish him with his
hunting knife. Then the buck
showed fight and drew himself up
as far as possible. Mr.. Knapp
seized him by the antlers in an effort
to throw him. He found the trick
more difficult of accomplishment
than he had anticipated, but he was
successful after the deer had made
several desperate efforts to rip open
his assailant with his horns. Mr..
Knapp then used his knife, but the
end was not yet. In way which
Mr.. Knapp is not able to explain,
the buck threw him off and, recov-
ering the use Of hind legs, was out
OF sight in an instant. He left
bloody trail, and Mr.. Knapp re-
TUNED his knife to its sheath, picked
up his rifle and followed the trail a
mile and a half over a rough and
circuitous route. He lost the trail
several times, the knife wound in the
bucks neck having closed, thus
largely stopping the flow of blood.
He finally sighted the deer in an open
space and fired, killing him.

Oliver Goldsmith was looked

That may possibly have been the
fault of the latter. I fancy there is
something specially narrowing to
the mind in a scholastic career, just
as there is in a doctors. That at
least is my individual experience,
Gladstone never took a prize at
school, if remember Alright, though
he subsequently gained a double
first at Oxford. Those high priests
of science and philosophy, Darwin,
Huxley, Tyndall and Herbert Spen-
Ger, did not particularly shine in
their younger days.
We find plenty of evidence that
people who in the first stages of
their career make prolonged and ex-
haustive demands on their stores of
nerve force rarely attain length of
days. Whether those demands have
been made merely in the pursuit of
wealth or for some more noble OBJ
ject does not matter. The result is
the same. Thus Napoleon consid-

EDUCATION roo BooNSH."
Supt. Stone Plans TO Introduce Ele-
mentary Agriculture and Manual
Training into Vermont Schools.

State Supt. of Education, Mason
S. Stone, outlines his plans for the
coming year in an interview with a
st. Adams Messenger representa-
tive.
1t is the purpose Of Mr.. Stone and
his co-workers to inaugurate sys-
tenn Of elementary agriculture in the
rural schools and manual training in
the schools OF the larger towns and
cities, along the line advocated a
year ago at conferences held in differ
ent parts of the state.
MIR. Stone is of the belief that the
present system OF education IN Yer
mont is too bookish and artificial
and leads away from the home life.
An attempt will be made to have
the pupil do as well as know so as to
afford an all around education as
well as one well balanced and use
ful. The ordinary education of the
Vermont boy is not practical enough
and the study Of the elementary ag-
ricultural and various arts and crafts
he believes is necessary. We are
exporting native products and i'm .
porting skilled labor of foreign
character. No other state in the
Union has such large number of
nonresident natives as Vermont.
Mr.. Stone says:
"This, then, is the line Of work
mapped out for the coming year. l
hope to see four hours of the school
day devoted to the study of regular
subjects and the other two hours
taken up with practical application
Of the knowledge gained and the
study of the subjects outlined above.
San attempt will be made to have
the Legislature appoint state in
structor in arts and sciences and a
campaign has already been begun
toward increasing the interest in this
work.
A bill has been introduced in the
senate by Senator Manning OF Rut-
land providing for state industrial
school, which carries an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for a suitable build
ing and So, 500 for instructors, We
want to correlate this work with the
regular studies now taken and to
teach the student to apply the know
ledge gained.
GA start has already been made
in Rutland" continued Mr.. Stone,
"and l hope to see it carried out
soon in other points in the state.
The idea has been successfully
worked out in many Of the Western
states but it is new in the East"

Saved Buck from Death.

Henry B. Farmer, Of Rutland,
who is greatly opposed to the shoot
ing Of deer, probably saved band
some buck from death during the
present deer season. He discovered
the animal in the pasture with his
cows one night and it followed the
herd to the barn. The farmer shut
the buck up and did not release it
until the law protected it.

The Great Problem Of Tomorrow.

A scientist tells of the energy the
earth receives from the sun: "When
the sun is nearly overhead he de-
livers power at the surface of the
earth at the rate of more than two
horsepower for each square yard of
surface. Even after deducting the
loss occasioned by the absorption Of
the earth's atmosphere, it is still
true that each square yard receives
when the sun is shining the equiva-
lent of one horsepower working con-
tinuously. This means there is de-
livered on each square yard an en-
ergy able to lift a weight of $4,000
pounds one foot in one minute, and
this power is continuous. On the
broad, sunlit plains Of Arizona the
sun delivers an equivalent of me-
chanical energy which, expressed in
horsepower, would seem almost in
finite. A small part of it would
suffice for the whole worlds work
Why is it not set to doing this work
This is the problem of tomorrow.
