HE FIRED HIS REMAINING SHOT.
shooter the hunter entered the den
and had killed five of the pups when
the mother, hearing their cries, en-
tered the den.
1t was too small for Blonde to stand
upright, so with only one cartridge in
his gun he was compelled to meet the
attack of the enraged mother on his
hands and knees and in darkness that
prevented his reloading his six-shoot-
er. The old wolf hesitated as she en-
tered the den, but the smell the
blood Of her dead offspring and the
yelps of the pup still alive, emboldened
her to rush at the hapless rancher and
fix her teeth in his arm.
Just as she took hold of him he fired
his remaining shot into her skull and
fortunately killed her instantly, but
her teeth remained fixed in the ranch
er's arm, while the great body blocked
the way out of the little cavern.
After frantic efforts, using the barrel
or his six-shooter as a lever, Blonde
succeeded in loosening the jaws Of the
wolf and made his way into the open.

small place, but small as it is it is
big enough to need a library. Mr..
Morton realized this fact, bought the
land, which is close to the railroad
station and the center of the village,
and gave his check to Mr.. Quick, the
builder, for $4,000 to erect a building.
He has also provided that the library
shall be properly equipped and main
tained.
His provisions for its maintenance
and its equipment, however, included
the condition that his own name
should in no way appear. There is no
bronze tablet over the door announc-
Ing that this library is a Morton gift.
On the contrary it is to be called the
Rhinecliff Memorial library. 1t is
monument, and will be a lasting one.
TO his daughter who so unfortunately
passed away last year.
Mr.. Morton is a Yankee.
He was born on May 16, 1924, in
Shoreham, VI. His father was a
minister, Sad he was the youngest of
six sons. On both his fathers and
mothers side he is direct descend
| ant from the Pilgrim Fathers. George
Morton, his first American ancestor,
came from Bawtry, England in the
good ship Ann" in 1923 and settled
in Middleboro, Mass. His mothers
American ancestor was Joseph Par
! sons, who also came from England,
| and landed only a few years after the
arrival of George Morton. With this
sturdy stock, this ancestry of Pilgrim
Fathers, behind him, Mr.. Morton has
been only too proud and too glad to
live up to this ancestry. During his
long life Of more than four score
years he has adhered to the precepts
so carefully inculcated in the Shore
| ham parsonage. He was vigorously
trained in those principles Of Christi
an morality and religious reverence
which have characterized his life ever
since his boyhood.
He received a rather better educa-
tlon than the average Yankee boy.
and with this as a foundation he he
gan a business life which led ulti-
mately to great financial success as
well as to public honor. Starting as a
farmers boy he graduated into a
clerkship at a country store, and then
step by step found himself outgrowing
each position that he occupied from
Boston to New York.
Mr., Morton's political honesty has
never been called into question, and
his influence for good in the political
life of the United States has been 50
conspicuous as to win the approval of
all political parties almost without
regard to his own determined parti-
sanship.
His record of business undertakings
also, as well as his career as a states
man, is well nigh spotless. He has
accomplished it not merely by brain
force, but by inherent desire to be
honest and upright. The keynote of
Mr.. Morton's personality has not been
money getting, although in that line
OF endeavor he has been remarkably
successful. He has won the esteem
OF his fellow men largely because he
has considered and treated them as
fellow human beings and not as OBJ
jects of greco.
