make the best of them, and steadily
refuse to be lugubrious on their ac-
count, charm our pessimistic medicine

Maurice Bilodeau of Vassalboro' VINO

claim to being one of the youngest
rifle marksmen in this part OF the
country. One day recently he saw
woodchuck lying laZily near a stone
wall. The boy cried out to his father'
- shall take my brothers rifle and 20
out and shoot that woodchuck his
father replied, "All right, go ahead
and shoot him if you cam Inc
boy, who had never fired a rifle before,
but had been practicing with an air
gun, started off with the rifle and When
he came to a distance Of about so feet
he calmly and deliberately dropped TO
one knee, took careful aim and fired.
The bullet went true to its mark, and
he got the woodchuck as a reward for
his troubles, and it can be easier
imagined than written, with what joy
the lad went back to the house.
The shooting was witnessed by. his
parents also by neighbor. He is GER
tainly 4 proud boy at his accomplish
ment, and is admired by his friends.

the Positions were not royal retainers
but ordinary stable boys impressed for
the occasion. No wonder every proud
son of France hangs his head in shame
1t is unpleasant enough for the ordi-
nary citizen to be caught making such
bluffs when distant relatives visit
him. but of course the humiliation is
infinitely greater for the head of a
world power. And now to add to the
pain of the situation almost every royal
parsonage of Europe will look back to
the time when he was escorted ma
jestically along the Partisan boulevard
in hired barouche, surrounded by a
lot of street loafers and ragamuffins
masquerading as official attendants. 1t
will take France long time to recover
from the blow of such an exposure.

The lumber industry is not philan-

In its timherland and attendant in

But withdrawn it will be as surely as
