EXTEND THE SEASON.
For Killing Deer, Says Commissioner H.
G. Thomas.

Henry G.. Thomas of Stowe, state
fish and game commissioner. is to re-
commend in his annual report to the
legislature that the open season for kilt
ing deer should be- extended from SIX
days to two weeks or fifteen days
He has reached this conviction from
the fact that there are so many deer
in Vermont 1T the present time that
the state IS paying money for the dam.
age done by them. The extension Of
the season may not result in the kill
ing of many more deer, since hunters
win not an rush into the woods at once,
which is the case where they have only
six days in which to hunt.
The greater danger TO life comes in
the two or three days because the
hunters are @deer mad and viii shoot
al anything that makes a noise. Mr.
Thomas will also recommend that re-
pairs be made "a the ash hatchery at
Roxbury.

Hello, Throggins! The last time |
saw you, l think. you were in peck
of trouble. Some fellow had bought a
suburban lot alongside of yours and
put up livery stable on it. Is he
there YETI"
"No; he's gone away and taken the
stable with him."
Then he worked his little scheme
all right, did he? Made the property
holders in the block pay him big
price to get out?"
"Not at all. We bought the lot from
him for about half what he paid for it..
He was glad to get away"
How did you manage it?'
Il bought a dozen hives Of bees and
put them along the edge of my lot,
next to his stable. The man on the
other side of him did the same. The
fellow stood it Til about the middle of
June and then he hiked. There's more

we can buy material specially pre-

1T used to be that We could do our
hats over only in black, but now we
can make them any color we want.
I'm doing this one in black because

Then why don't / black it more
carefully around the sides Of the
crown? There are a whole lot Of
places there, you say, where the white

Why, that's because I'm going to
trim this hat all round the crown and

FIRST TIME HE ACTED LIKE THAT
carter's Statement That No Doubt
Was the Exact Truth.

There was a poor old carter whose
sole means of livelihood was an old
white horse that was periodically
troubled with collie.
On these occasions a neighboring
attended to the needs Of
the suffering animal, and the frequen-
cy of these spells and their fortunate
endings caused the owner to look upon
them with unconcern.
But one night, despite the doctors
treatment, the old horse made a few
desperate kicks, rolled over, and
breathed his last.
Well" said the doctor, gravely,
turning to the silent carter, "old Jim
will work for you no more"
rs he dead?" exclaimed the be-
reaved carter. That's odd. He's had

This is fatal mistake, and even the

impromptu speakers to be lured into

Cleveland Man the Victim of Most
Unucky Episode.

When the boy would essay to throw
the morning paper in on the porch
at an East End mans home the paper
would occasionally land on the roof
of the porch.
Now, this man always likes to read
his paper the minute he gets out of
bed in the morning. 1t is always
hardship to him to have to wait until
he gets dressed and then crawl out
after the paper.
A few mornings ago he was partic-
ularly anxious to glance over the pano-
rama of the preceding days events.
and as the air was comparatively
warm, he was tempted to scamper OUT
on the roof after the paper just as he
was. His wife was downstairs getting
breakfast. She would have been hor-
rified at the idea of him going out on
the roof just in his nightie, but he
looked up and down the street and
saw that no one was in sight, and,
