Fawn Is a Household Pet.

Mr.. and Mrs. James Robinson Of 1926 Park
avenue, Rutland, have a 3-montns-o fawn
rescued by them from dogs which has
become a household pet and is as tame
as any cat or dog. The young deer is
still very small and is an object of inte-
rest to hundreds Of people AS 1t still
retains the whitel spots characteristic
to the coat of a fawn, it is a beautiful
animal.
While on Pine hill, less than a mile
from the city, early in June Mr. and
Mrs. Robinson spied the animal in the
road. Their dogs Immediately gave
chase and dogs and deer disappeared
over ledge Robinson found the fawn
trying to fight the dogs by striking with
its tiny front hoofs. When it saw the
man 1t Immediately ran to him and
placed its nose in his hands and showed
no disposition to leave, so Mr., and Mrs.
Robinson took the half-starved animal
home, where it soon learned to drink
milk from saucer and became very
tame.
1t is probable that the deer will be ex-
hibited at the Rutland county fair TIE
FISH and game authorities, although 1t is
now close season on venison, have given

Blind sawyer Native Of whltInqham.

Seventy-five years of age, feeble in
strength, and almost totally blind,
Uncle" John Streeter of Shelburne Falls,
Mass, may be seen daily working away
at the big pile of four-foot wood standing
easterly from the building of the II. S.
Swan Co 1t is little that he can earn,
probably not over 25 cents a day, but he
finds it so iIksOme to do nothing that by
choice he saws wood rather than sit
around in idleness. He has always been
a laborer and in his time has Sawed much
wood. About 20 years ago he began to
grow blind, and today can see nothing
but faint ray of light on a bright day.
Thrifty and industrious, ne has laid aside
something for old age, but finds it i'm
possible to do nothing He has begged
for the privilege Of saving wood which
is about all that he can do.
During the Russo japanese war Uncle
John" was kept we'll informed of the
progress of the fighting through the kind
ness of friend who read to him. The
death of his benefactor left him without
intellectual resources ana then he begged
for something to do. He came from WIFI
tingham to Shelburne Falls so years ago
and has lived there since. He is married
but has no children nor nearer kin than
nephews and nieces. He is one of the
men Familiarity called Uncle" by almost
the entire community. While others have
taken liquor and loafed, Mr.. Streeter has
been pegging away, doing what mis- hands
found to do. He has lived simply plain
~ without ostentation, and his life has
peen one or honorable service.

Pays 4 per cent. Interest on
Deposits

The New England Farmer, the old
agricultural standby of New England,
believes that the policy of keeping
Vermont money at home is a popular
and wise one. 1t says:
The Lamolle County Savings Bank and
Trust Co., Hyde Park VT, of which ex-Gov.
Carroll S. Page is president, is run upon a
wise principle, one which the farmers who
patronize it would do well to apply in their
general business transactions This bank be.
lieves in keeping its money at home. That
its policy is a profitable well as popular
one is indicated by the fact that it is about
to pay per cent interest on deposits left
with it a year or more.

lectures at East Mortified continue TO

SCHOOL The fall term begins with 497
accepted candidates for admission, OF
wnom some $50 have already been en-
rolled. Were there provision for the
housing of such a body of students, the
enrolment could well be 1900 since
in recent years the whole number of APP
plicants annually touches that figure.
Both this school and the Mortified sem
mary have expanded their capacities
however notably in the case of the sem
mary, which at its opening Sept. 10 will
bring into use new home science
building and will during the winter begin
other construction. Work has also been
started on the lately given administration
nall at Mount Hermon. This will fill
a real want but the insistent need at the
boys school is for more dormitory space.
The Mount Hermon services of Sum
day will probably be conducted by w. r.
Moody, who conforms to his fathers
custom of getting personally known to
the boys at the very beginning Of the
year. At Mortified, the regular Sun
day program, which usually draws car
rage parties from the vicinity round
about will be in the hands of Dr. Holden.
An added feature will be the presence of
Mr.. Alexander who has made a world
wide name as leader who makes people
