A meeting was held here Tuesday of
the stock holders of the Paige Realty COM
pany. Among those attending the meet
ing were E. w. Paige of Pittsfield, Mass,
Henry H. Paige of Randolph and Arthur
I. Stafford OF Boston. This company was
organized last year for the purpose of ac-
curing timberlands in Vermont and has
bought about 1000 acres in this vicinity.
In this town it has bought the farms
of Samuel w. Bowen, E. s. Tewksbury,
Dana G. Torrey, d. H. Haraden and
wood lots of John NJ. Booth and N. A.
Dustin.
A quarterly meeting of the White Riv-
er Pomona grange was held in Grange
hall in Bethel Friday with q large attend
ance. In the afternoon the fifth degree
was worked on three candidates and an
address of welcome given by DIR. H. w.
Holden, master of the local grange. The
evening session was public and the pro-
gram included piano solo by Miss
Adele Sparrell; address, Socialism" by
Prof. j. H. Dunbar, candidate for gov
ernor on the Socialist ticket; songs by
Mrs. Rix Williams and the Misses Har-
rington of Gaysvile, and addresses by D..
H. Morse OF Randolph Amos Eaton OF
South Royalton and Judge E. B. Finn
of Springfield.
An elm tree on River street was blown
over by the gale Friday evening and fell
across the street near the residence OF C.
o. Spaulding. In its downward path il
also brought down great mass of wires,
belonging to the electric light company
and the telephone lines. About this time
Judson Morse, living on Locust Creek,
was making his homeward journey. Not
knowing but that he had q free road the
same as usual on account of the dark
ness, he drove right into the jungle OF
wires and tree tops. Much surprised he
tried to disentangle himself but the more
he stirred the worse he seemed to be. His
cries finally brought out George II. Kim
ball and the snarl was unsnarled.

KILLED RARE ANIMALS In TIBET
Mason Mitchell Sends Specimens to
the National History Museum.

Mason Mitchell Sends Specimens to
the National History Museum.
Mason Mitchell, actor, rough rider
added to his achievements by exploring
Tibet and killing animals which few
white men have slain, says the New
York Herald.
Those who doubt that there are tax
ms, gorals, sorrows and blue bears will
absolve Mr. Mitchell from even sus-
picion Of nature taking by going to the
American Museum Of Natural History
and looking at the skins, skulls and
horns which have just been received
from Mr.. Mitchell. AS a consul In the
Chinese city Of Chungking he was not
far from the Tibetan border
Mr. Mitchell accompanied his gifts
with scientific data and Is sending pho
tographs showing what the animals
looked like in life.
Takins resemble antelopes, but are
much larger, a full-grown specimen
weighing 1000 pounds. The coral IS
al al SOdl VI AClDIL pIOClINl-
ties. The serow is rare. 1t is some
thing like a goat. The skins Of the Ii
betan blue bear and clouded leopard
sent by Mr.. Mitchell are excellent spe-
clmens.
The consul also killed several birds
above the clouds, and he writes from
Tachinglu that when he gets a chance
to consult a natural history he will try
to identify them. If they are slightly
known to naturalists he will add them
to the collections in the museum.
Mr.. Mitchell has also given to the
museum scrolls once owned by a band
Of Tibetan priests, who lost them in
fighting a punitive expedition sent
against them by the French. The
scrolls are covered with allegorical fig
ures and are written in Sanscrit They
are apparently centuries old.
Many lands have known Mason
Mitchell since he left his native town,
Onondaga, N. Y. He was a scout in
the Riel rebellion in Canada, where he
obtained a liking for military life.
Later he brought natives from Samoa
to the Chicago Worlds Fair and took
them back in a 200-ton schooner. His
offices were also called into play by
the San Francisco fair, for which he
brought many natives Of the Fiji ISL
ands. He enlisted with the rough rid
ers and was wounded at San Juan
hill. On his return from the Spanish
American war he stumped the State
when Mr.. Roosevelt was candidate for
Governor. He also was an actor, play
wright and lecturer. Before he went
to China he was United States consul
at Zanzibar, where he found recreation

Mrs Armes answered. She put the last
touches to her pretty afternoon gown
and went slowly downstairs, trying to
recall any possible forgotten Miss Eos
ter. At the parlor door she stopped
1t was an agent-the snowy dress, the
exaggerated appearance OF ease, the
sharp, searching glance all betrayed it /;
an agent, moreover, of the type she
most disliked, and who had lied to her.
Involuntarfly her face grew stern, but
before she could speak the woman an
swered her thought.
Eyes, I lied. 1t was the only way
to get at you. don't suppose I'll
make anything by it, but at least
could get in out Of the cold q minute.
Maybe you'd have lied, too, If you had
tramped five hours and made fifteen
cents"
For a moment the two women, the
gentle delicately cared for one and the
bitter daughter Of toll, looked at each
other; then Mrs. Armes stepped to her
tea table, arranged for her afternoons
callers, and lighted her alcohol lamp

tea before you go out in the cold
again."
The young woman stared, started to
say something, and apparently changed
her mind. She answered only in mono
syllables to Mrs. Armes' attempts at
conversation, and accepted the tea and
little cakes without a word Of thanks.
But when, the teacup and plate both
emptied, Mrs. Armes said, brightly:
"And now, suppose we talk business"
she shook her head.
"Not after that" she returned. She
drew on her gloves, and then rose.
"NOw and them" she said, there's
folks that treat me like Christians. 1
try to be honest over it, and there is
one now and then. But I never had
any one treat me like lady before,
and I amt going to spoil It,"
Mrs. Armes, returning to her fire, sat
long time looking into the flames. 1t
was a problem-she was more puzzled
over 1t than ever before.
"But at least" she sighed, "I'm glad
gave her a cup Of tea."-Youth's

for the King of Kings as he calls him
self. Rather than have any hard feel
ings over so small a matter he told
them to go ahead with their parliament
and If they got any fun out Of 1t, he
would be satisfied. But when 1t comes
to heaving explosives at him as he
passes along the street, he draws the
line. He doesn't see any joke in dis
gruntled subject hurting a bomb at him
and it didn't take long for him to say
so.
He was driving through the streets
Of Teheran. Ahead Of him was his au-
tomobile, which, for some reason or
other, he was not occupying, perhaps
being for the moment tired of his new
plaything. Suddenly from across the
street some ungrateful fellow hurled a
bomb at the automobile. The machine
was torn into kindling wood, but even
the chauffeur was not injured. Nobody
could tell just who slung the deadly
missile, so in the hope Of hitting the
right man the Shah ordered his body
guard to fire. The result was that
two Of his personal attendants, his
royal executioner and two innocent
citizens were killed while a policeman,
a grocer, an officer Of gendarmes and
two private soldiers were badly in
jured.
The Shah was pretty mad. He turn
ed on his heel and walked home, refus-
ing to ride in spite Of the entreaties
of his frightened escort. The next day
his majesty came down town and with
a stick he beat the governor Of the
town soundly. Then he called the chief
of police before him aud told him if he
permitted any more such nonsense as
bomb hurting he would have him blown
from the mouth Of a cannon. Since
then corner loafers with bundles under
their arms have been invited to move
on without any hesitation.
Mohammed Ali Mira isn't the kind
of man the anarchists can scare. They
may succeed in killing him, but they
cannot brighten him. He is SO years
old, powerful Of build, widely Travelled,
a firm believer in his divine right to
rule and has occupied the throne but
little more than year.

Great Wealth Acquired in Growing
Grain.
Writing from Saskatoon, Saskatche-
wan, Canada, w. H. Ellwanger, who
was formerly a resident Of Green Noun
tain, Iowa, says: "The climate in sum-
mer is ideal for growing grain. Long,
clear days Of sunshine, no bad storms.
We never need to guard against cy-
clones. l never saw a better climate
in my life. We made more money dur
ing the season of 1906 than any previ-
GUS five years in Central Iowa-One of
the best districts in the State" But
Mr.. EllWanger was a resident of the
town, and it might be more interesting
to read what farmer has to say about
Western Canada. From hundreds Of
letters, all filed with words of praise,
recounting success in Western Canada,
there has been one selected It is as
follows:
