Armitage slept for an hour after
simple luncheon had been prepared by
Oscar, studied his letters and cable
grams-made, in fact, some notes in
regard to them and wrote replies.
Then at 4 o'clock he told Oscar to sad
die the horses.

served without question, and. quicker
Of wit than Of speech, his buff gaun-

ever Armitage addressed him.
They sought again the spot whence
Armitage had first looked down upon
Storm valley. and he opened his pocket
map, the better to clarity his ideas Of
the region.

Oscar,' he said, and thereafter it was
he that led.
They struck presently into an old
road that had been an early highway

crossing a bridge, rode down into

marks Of care, and they passed num-

The hotel doomed massively before

Armitage paused In clurnp of trees
and dismounted.
"You will stay here until come
back. And remember that we don't
know any one, and at our time of life,
Oscar, one should be wary OF making
new acquaintance"
He tossed his cloak over the saddle

Of the place and the great number OF
people going and coming surprised
him. but in the numbers he saw his
own security, and he walked boldly up
the steps Of the main hotel entrance.
He stepped into the long corridor OF
the inn, where many people lounged
about, and heard with keen satisfaction

him into contact with the remote

Saving the Buffalo in Canada.

The Canadian government is engaged
in what promises to be successful effort
to increase the buffalo population of the
country. A year ago herd of 400 was
rounded up and corralled near the town
of Lamont, about 80 miles from Montana.
They wintered well, and the loss by death
is less than 1-2 per cent for the year.
Arrangements have been made to add a
herd of 300 this season, and the entire
number is nearly secured. The govern
ment is calling for tenders for a wire
fence around this preserve, which will be
over 10 miles long, and will cost approx
mately $4,000. The preserve is 30 ar
ranged that for so miles the railroad
runs along enc side, giving passengers a
chance to see the herd. This is now the
largest herd of buffaloes in the world
With the arrival of the other herd it will
be doubled, and before the end of the
year is expected to number close upon
1000 head with net increase of fully 20
per cent annually.-Utica Press.

suggestion of the retiring governor
Fletcher D. Proctor, bill has been in
troduced into the Legislature TO amend
Sec. 3977 of the public statues relating to
cutting Of trees and bushes within the
limits of the highway. We refer to the
bill introduced by the Committee on
Highways and Bridges This bill would
appear to be quite carefully worded and
is evidently heartily in favor of the pre-
servation of roadside beauty, which
hitherto has done so much to make Yer
mont one of the most pleasurable States
of the union to drive through. Unfor-
tunately the State has suffered terribly
during the last year because of the
infamous law past IN the interests of auto
mobiles on this subject two years ago
But time will help to remedy this,
and perhaps the arrousing of the atten-
ton of the citizens Of the State to this
subject will result in permanently i'm
proved public sentiment upon this very
important subject. "a thing of beauty
is Joy forever"

1t is hardly necessary to canvass pub
lie sentiment very carefully i'll these
days to make up ones mind that Yer
mont's present system of encouraging,
or attempting to encourage, the Use of
the tuberculin test as means of elimin-
ating bovine tuberculosis from the State,
is not regarded as a very substantial
success. And this, too, not so much be-
cause the average well informed person
wholly distrusts the merits of the tuber-
culin test, perhaps, or the necessity for
the eradication of the disease, as be-
cause the operation of Vermont's law
not only has proved to be enormously
expensive but the results are in no sense
commensurate with the expense. The
State is annually spending a great deal
of money in the hope of getting rid of a
dread cattle disease that may be COM
municated TO human beings, and at the
very same time leaving it wholly OPP
tional with the human being that own
the cattle whether they shall consent to
be saved from the risk of the disease
themselves or whether they shall pre-
vent it's communication to others, or not.
1t is needless to say that policy SO utter
ly conflicting cannot be a success.
In his retiring message to the General
Assembly, Gov. Fletcher d. Proctor sum-
med the matter up in these words:
During the biennial term ending June
40, 1908, the State expended an account
of tuberculosis in cattle $98,825.74. OF
this amount $40 ,656.35 was paid by order
of the cattle commissioner. AS far as /
have been able to ascertain no other
htate expends as large an amount for
this purpose. Many States limit the ap-
preparation and in the case of most
State the amount has been very much
less than that expended by Vermont.
Our statute does not limit the amount
that may be expended and the cattle
commissioner has no discretion in the
matter. 1t is his duty to respond to all
calls that may be made to test cattle
within the State"
There is some disposition in Vermont
to doubt the probability of danger of the
communication of tuberculosis from cat
tie to man, but the Messenger is in
=. clned to think the weight of authority
is on the other side. 1t is true the re-
nowned DIR. Koch still insists that the
disease is not so communicable, but he
was overwhelmingly overruled on this
theory by the recent International tuber-
culosis congress at Washington. and the
royal British tuberculosis congress a
year or SO ago, after long investigation
and experiment, came to the positive
opinion that the bovine disease might be
communicated to humans.
AS the law works now in Vermont only
those owners have their cattle tested
that volunteer them for the purpose, and
of these there are two classes-One, the
good intentioned men that do it from a
sense of duty to the public and them
selves, and the other the men that find
this scheme an easy way of working off
their old herds or parts of them on to
the State for price that they would
never bring in the market. 1t is good
deal easier and cheaper to sell cattle IL

in the repair and maintenance of the
main roads of the State. These license
fees are to be in lieu of town taxes, as
so many evasions to the law are now
