LYNX HAUNTs WHOLE TOWN
Wild Cat Makes Life a Burden 10
Residents of Two Connect
cut Villages.

Putnam, Conn.-Farmers over IN
Quadie and East Putnam are cunning
for Canadian lynx. but so far the cat
seems to have charmed life and ia
still doing antics that are highly dis
pleasing TO them.
II was first seen in Quadie by James
Sheldon, the veteran fox and game
hunter. Sheldon killed a pig in his
barnyard and the lynx was attracted by
the smell Of blood When discovered
he didn't show fight. but skunk away to
the woods, having probably satisfied his
appetite Several henhouses have been
raided, and the lynx has been debited
with an amazing number OF fowls.
Ex-Selectman Charles ID. TORY. who
lives In East Putnam, is smoking hams,
and several nights ago the lynx broke
into the smokehouse and carried on
ham Weighing about ten pounds. II also
tackled an ls-pound ham, but was able
TO carry II only about 20 feet.
Arthur Cutler. another farmer, saw
the lynx, and says II is about as large
as pointer dog. II has an unusually
large pencil OF hair on the tip OF the
ears.
Old timers say that a Canada lynx
has not been killed In this part OF Con-
necticut for so years Henhouses are
now locFAd mp at night. and young men
who 80 cogrting go loaded, for the noe
turnai cat howls and prowls nightly and
the peace OF Quadie village is greatly
disturbed.

Although the students at the
University were not expecting
more than two or three hundred
visitors, they proved themselves
equal to the occasion by provid-
ing the best of entertainment for
all both Intellectually and physi-
cally.
The visit will be remembered
by all present both for the kind
treatment received and the inspir-
alton which came from the great

young people nave received and
are now receiving their education

Such visits must result in good

ENGLAND. LOSING LAND.
To Make Up for This, Britain Aims
10 Fill In the Wastes, Employ
ing Idle Workmen.

London. - With Its Characteristic
commercial spirit, England has evolved
plan by which Il can at the same
time feed Its idle tens OF thousands
and reclaim some at least OF Its lost
millions of acres.
In 1867 Great Britain lost by the
seas inroads 56,s64, 2e0 acres Of agri-
cultural land; In 1880. 55,Sl5, s54 acres
more were reported to have been lost
in the same manner; In 1890, b6,7s6. 1893
acres more had slipped away into the
sea, and the last report. that OF 1900.
showed that an additional b6,7s2.0 53
acres had gone.
Nor is It only from the attrition Of
the sea that the coast Is suffering, the
formation OF marsh lands where the
sea eats into formerly valuable arabic
land being constantly on the Increase.
To replace much of this waste marsh
land and build up in other places
where great gaps have been made in
the coast line by the rolling OF OF hun
dreds of thousands Of AGREE. Walter
Long, president of the board Of trade,
has evolved plan BY which hundreds
OF thousands Of idle men In England
are TO be employed.
The FIRST attack will be mace on

kind has been attempted before In
England. 6o,4s1 acres having been add

Plant Beets.

1t is encouraging 10 find farm
ers rapidly contracting for many
acres of beets.
Simply because the beet crop
was q partial failure last year
should not discourage farmers
from planting the usual acreage
this season. Last years troubles
may not come again and it mus
be kept in mind that the beet crop
has been for many years the
"main stay" of this community
With plenty of snow in The
mountains and the soil in excel
lent condition, farmers can feel
assured of a bounteous harvest
unless the unforeseen should hap
pen. Blight, frosts. and destruc-
tive storms may come, but it will
never do TO cease effort because
of discouraging conditions which
have been experienced. Let us
use past experience as an aid
to better crops in the future.

sTeED cHEws AND DRINKS
Engine Herse at Canton, Nd, Enjoys
Guild Between Firss, and
Likes Besr.

Baltimore, Md.-Canton has an en-
CINE horse OF affectionate disposition,
but he Is reprobate. He likes to be
caressed by the fremen, and takes de-
light In rubbing his nose against the
back Of his constant friend, Captain, a
Skye terrier, but when Valley, as he IL
known, has a chance to take q chew OF
tobacco he cannot resist the tempta-
ton.
The fremen say that he drank beer
before he became an engine horse, but
the rigid rules Of the department will
not permit Of any dissipation. and he
has not had drink since he>es<ere4the.
service. His former owner. the hremen
say, would place beer in a bucket. and
Valley would drink the beverage as he
switched his tail with pleasure.
Driver James Mullaney was reciting
Valleys pedigree the other day when
Engineer Edward Gensler approached.
Gensler PRETENDED to pay no attention 10
the animal as he stood beside him. but
Valley was determined to be noticed. He
began TO snuff about the engi.eers
pocket until he caught a whiff of to-
bacco. and then he began to tug.
"All right, Valley, old boy You want
chew, don't your" said Gensler. Val
ley seemed to nod assent as he contin.
ued to tug. Gensler stepped aside. cut
a plug OF the weed in half. and ap-
preached the animal. Valley made
grab at the tobacco with his mouth and
began to chew like veteran. He
'eemed to have reached the zenith of
horse happiness. He switched his tail,
'ossed his head, and stamped playfully
on the floor, chewing the quid like a sail
or but, unlike some sailors, Valley was
not particular about splitting.
