A NOTED MORGAN STALLION.
Harry Lambert, Son of Daniel Lambert
and Grandson of Ethan Allen 43.

George W. Fisher of Dummerston
the well known breeder of shorthorr
cattle, has purchased of NJ. c. Weeks
of West Mortified, Mass, the Morgan
stallion, Harry Lambert. This horse
is bred in the very best branches OF
the Morgan family and is standard anc
registered in both the Morgan and trot
ting register. In addition to the 9th
er Morgan characteristics he has more
size and speed and the good-sized
trappy gated youngsters shown by Mr.
Weeks that have speed enough to dc
credit to any stock farm in this coun
try would convince anyone that Harry
Lambert sires the right kind.

OF each paid man in the city fire
department is pending before the
council, and has been recommended
for passage by the finance commit

funds, and the commentator of the

seems that ii would be a Just and
proper act to adopt the resolution at
once, so that the increase i'll pay can

When the work of making up the
budget for the present fiscal year
was in progress. the fire department
and water committee asked for an an.
preparation to cover an increase of
$40 per month in the salaries in the
paid men of the fire department. and
the ordinance and police committee
made application for similar ill.,
crease for the police force. The re-
quest for the police was granted, but
Tor some reason the proposed in
crease for the fircmen was cut in
half and only So was added to their
pay.

Treatment Of Weak Wrist

Not very long ago a well-known
schoolmaster declared of a highly
promising pupil that he would never
be able to write we'll on account of
his wrist being too weak. This condi-
ton is by no means rare. For the
benefit of such sufferers the following
hints are given: During two full min
utes, night and morning, let the cold
water tap run with some force on the
affected parts. Dry thoroughly, and
then use friction with soft towel, al
ways rubbing from the hand towards
the elbow. The best exercise for
Strengthening the wrist is fencing with
foils. Another excellent plan, when the
wrist has become stronger, is to face
companion, interlock the fingers of
your right hand with those of his
right hand, and to try to so force his
wrist down that if the effort is sue
cessful he sinks to the floor.

Boys Natural Reasonino

Mrs. Herman Miller, of Syracuse.
who recently risked her life in a fire
in order to save cat from death, is
noted for her love of animals.
A young girl showed Mrs. Miller the
other day a new fall hat. The hat
was adorned with large white bird.
Mrs. Miller, looking at it, said:
II like it, all but that beautiful white
bird. I never wear birds on nv own
hats. I'll tell you why.
Il caught my little boy one spring
morning bird-nesting. He came sneak
ing into the house with three lovely
pale-blue eggs in his hand. I took him
to task. I pointed out to him the
cruelty of the thing he had done. He
wept and promised earnestly that he
would never rob another nest.

a Bone of Mystery.

Standing alongside the railroad
tracks near Hackensack, N. j., is a
row of four little workingmen's cot
tages that bear the cryptic title in
that countryside of "The Mastodon
Houses" The reason for the title is
based on the fact that when the cell
lars for these cottages were being dug
in the soft black loan the workmen
came across a bone of such an un-
usual size and appearance that the
fame of the find soon spread
through the neighborhood, attracting
the attention of all of the amateur
naturalists.
One Of them wrote to the State
Geologist at Trenton giving him
complete and accurate description Of
the bone and requesting the official
to take some steps toward securing
the relic for the State Museum. But
the geologist replied that he had no
money for such a purpose, and as the
builder and the naturalists could come
to no agreement over the possession
of the thing the builder took it upon
himself to decide the fate of the bone
by sticking it back in the earth again.
where, so far as anyone knows, it
still remains. It's monument consists
of the shabby little houses with the
title that overbalances their size and
appearance materially.

dicted to the use of spirituous liquors.
He visited the county fair at Cherry

which was refused. The landlady in

enough for him, and to go there and

With several boon companions he
went and slept on the hay. In the

the courtesy of a cavalier, handed her
the shovel, saying: Madam, here is
