$4O,OOO,OOO Loss by Forest Fires.

Raymond W. Pullman of the forest
service, who is in Minnesota investigat-
ing forest fire conditions for the govern
ment, estimates the loss in that state at
from five to ten million dollars, with the
fires still burning. He reports a heavy
rainfall lasting FIVE hours, but saws
thirty.six hours of rain are necessary to
put all fires out. According to this
report practically all the district is cut
over country. Brush fires are every
where and long rain is the only hope
for ending them.
After travelling through the entire
northern country in the regions where
the fires ragged hottest, Prof. Filbert
Roth of the forestry department of the
University of Michigan estimates the
damage done this season at $40, 900, 600.
He declared that between 1000 and
1000 acres of the Michigan forest reserve
had been destroyed and over 100000
acres of timber land devastated. Hun
dreds of cases of illness are reported in
Aranac county as a result of the forest
fires which have prevailed there for
weeks.

Valuable Silver Heels.

You can't tell from the looks of
frog how far he can jump" is a bromide
expression but pithy paragraph
about the appearance of a horse in the
stall as an indication of how he can be-
have on the track is something new
says the Montpelier Journal. A man up
near Morrisville owned mare a short
time ago which looked good enough but
had to be helped up in the stall every
morning. He hunted around and fin.
ally found couple of fellows in Stowe
to whom he sold her for $125 and then
went around and Dragged about the
trade. Now these Stowe men thought
they saw the Real Noise in their new
acquisition and put the mare in train
ing stable. She was entered in a few
odd races this summer and fall and that
mare is no less parsonage in the horse
world than "Silver Heels the mare
that put up a winning clip at Barre,
took first money in race in Morris
vile and in fact cut a figure on every
track she dug up. Rumor has it that
the two Stowe men have been offered
only So, 500 for her already.
This is the same horse which took
second money at Caledonia county fair
and was so much talked about and
admired.

"StrOngheart"

The management of the New Music
Hall presented a strong and most pleas.
ing play at the seasons opening Fri
day night and the performance was
greeted by good-sized but rather unap-
preciatve aundience. In fact at the
climax of "Strongheart's' finest work,
when he renowned his sweetheart for
his Indian people, the audience was SO
busy gathering up their wraps and hust-
ling tor the doors that they could not
even applaud.
"Strongheart" is problem play by
William {. DeMille, Astounding in action
and fnll of the college spirit Robert
Gallard as "Strongheart' was easily the
star OF the evening, being especially
strong in the scene in the dressing room
and in his love making with Molly
Livingston. Robert Lee Allen as Billy
Saunders was a continuous performance
of hilarity and Charles Doherty as the
college grind was well done The four
ladies added vivacity to the play, though
they were not as prominent as the
college boys. Noah Beary in his double
role was one of the strong characters OF
the play. In the dressing room scene he
made good as coach of the eleven and as
"Black Eagle" the Indian messenger, he
was extremely realistic. Seldom has a
deeper and more vibrant voice been
heard on our stage and his short but
important part in this scene was taken
to perfection.
Between the acts the time was en-
lvened by hearty cheers from the Mont
peier Seminary foot ball eleven, who
occupied seats in the upper boxes, and
in the dressing room scene a half a
dozen of the Academy eleven appeared
on the stage in their uniform

nature. The former spoke on the two
great responsibilities of every scholar in
Sunday school-interest and faithfulness
or loyalty. Mr.. Nays address dealt
with What the Sunday school of so
years ago did for one boy" 1t was a
tribute of respect to the Sunday schools
influence upon the formation of cour-
tesy, integrity and manlinesss in the
moral character of those attending.
Mrs. Peters sang in her very pleasing
manner Abbott's lust for today" The
roll call by the superintendent showed
about 1914 names on the record not all of
whom however were regular in attend
ance.
