That's too much"
"a dollar, or / shant do it."
Harry was in a hurry to be done with the
business, and at length agreed to give the
dollar.
81 must have it before I co. said the boy.
"'They might, not give me the money. and
then you might not give me the dollar"
Harry objected, but the boy insisted until
the dollar was given.
Twilight deepened, and the boy did not re-
turn. Harry drew nearer the house and
watched anxiously for the bearer of the money
The boy at length came out of the door,
gave one swift glance around him, and then
started off as fast as his legs could carry him
in the opposite direction.

pretty near him.

sezing ragged boy.
"Lemme alone" cried the boy.
And Harry obeyed at once
1t was, the wrong boy, and the right one
was nowhere to be seen.
Harry did not tell at home of his attempt to
secure the reward. Jack Rice showed him
his birthday present few days later, and
Harry did not mention that he had ever seen
| it before.
$50 that is your watch, Jack?" said Har-
rys mother one day, when Jack came to see
| him.
| Harry had tried to keep Jack away from his
father and mother, but had failed.

Harry found it, or it might have been per-
manently lost"
THAT Harry found it? repeated Jack, with
a puzzled look.
Eyes; that is the one you found, isn't it,
Harry"
Harry colored, stammered, told very lame
and disconnected story, and was finally COM
PEELED, by little sharp questioning from his
father, to tell exactly the means he had taken
i for returning the watch.
80 you lost the reward after all?" said
his father
"And your dollar and the watch, too" said
Jack, trying to conceal laugh.
Harry begged Jack not to tell; but as he
reached school the next morning, he was greet
ed with loud shouts from the boys:
"What time is it, HarryW
give dollars for the information!"
mo, the five dollars have gone after the
watch!"
"And the dollar has gone after the FIVE
dollars. Ho, ho!"
A shout loud and long showed how keen
was the enjoyment of Harry's joke on himself

creek, and on the bank is the wash house.
One day Mrs. Darlyng's servant girl was do
ing the washing here, and with her was Alice
Darlyng, a baby OF two years. The mother
was at the house, doing some work, when
she heard terrible scream, followed by shrill
cries from the baby. Snatching up Winches-
ter the alarmed mother started for the creek.
Seated under a long, low, brancing limb of a
water oak was little Alice, crying piteously;
the servant girl Was lying nearby, her head
buried in her apron, almost dead with fright,
and on the branch above crouched huge
panther.
The mothers nerves grew as steel at
the peril of her child, and with steady aim
she fired, A dreadful scream followed the
shot, and long, yellow body fell swiftly down
ward The panther landed on the ground,
rolled over several times, and then rose up
despite the bullet in his shoulder, and faced
the woman. She pulled the trigger again, but
this time the cartridge failed to explode. The

s.. Jobo.bury Water in Court.

A bill in chancery has been brought by
the state board of health against the trus
tees of the village of st. Johnsbury and
Others to compel them to appear and
show cause, if any they have, Why an or
der should not be issued restraining them
from further using or permitting to be
used for domestic purposes the water tax
en- from the Passumpsic river, which
constitutes the village water supply. The
bill is brought through Guy W. Hill OF
st. Johnsbury, states attorney, and At
torney-G General G. G. Fits OF Brattleboro.
Subpoenas have been served upon Z. Z.
Follensby and F. E. Spaulding, trustees
of the village, and Elisha May and 40
other persons, all OF st. Johnsbury, COM
manding them to appear before the court
of cbancery thereDec. to answer to the
bill of complaint. This is the first case
brought by the state board OF health to en-
force its orders under the authority OF Act
No. 139 of the Acts of 1904. The bill OF COM
plant sets up that the water supply was
examined previous to July z, 1906; that
many samples were analysed, and that
the analyses showed that the water was
contaminated, unwholesome and impure
and of such quality and character that its
use for domestic purposes was q menace
and a danger to the public health.
At a meeting of the board on the date
mentioned, the secretary, DR.. Holton, was
directed to notify the users OF the water,
including the trustees, manager and SUI
perintendent of the water plant, janitors
of public buildings, inhabitants and
heads of families, of the condition OF the
water and to prohibit them from using or
permitting it to be used for domestic pur-
poses "until such q time when, in the
opinion of the board of health, such
danger has ceased" and the directions
were carried out by DIR. Holton.
The bill further alleges that the trus-
tees and other defendants have not since
the notice was served upon them re-
Trained from using or permitting the use
OF the water for domestic purposes, but
that continually since then it has been
used for drinking and cooking purposes
without filtering, boiling or otherwise
treating it as contaminated water should
be treated, and that as consequence the
public health of the village OF st. Johns
/ bury has been and is being injured. The
court is asked to make such order as
seems necessary to enforce the order of
i the board of health.

belp her, so we let him try it about
a week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one of her
ewes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor
M. 2. He came over and looked her
over cU, and said that he could not do any,
thing more for her, that we had better
take her to some eye specialist, since it
was an ulcer. So we went to OSwego
