Bucks Four-Mile Swim.
From the Providence Bulletin.

A handsome buck deer landed on Ston-
inGton Point Tuesday. having swum half
mile across Stonington harbor frc-p
Wamphassett Point, where a herd of deer
has lately been seen. The buck first en-
countered the sea wall that stretches
along the waterfront south of the old
breakwater. but managed to find a breach
near the extreme end of the pointt.
through which he scrambled to a vacant
lot near the house of Mrs. Frank Ioserh
The deer caught sight of the ,:,owd as
ne came ashore. and to escape capturt,
leaped with great agility q seven-fooL
picket fence separating the shore from
the narrow highway that leads to the
government reservation at the end of the
point. This brought him to the flve-foor
wall in front of the old lighthouse which
obstacle he also surmounted with grace
full ease. bounding TO the shore of the
east side of the point, where he again
took TO the water in the direction OF
Sandy Point.
Sandy Point is the extreme tin Of the
state of Rhode Island. working up north
erly from Napatree and inclosing Little
Narragansett pay. Joseph Fuller jumped.
Into skiff and started in pursuit OF the
buck. but the chase was hopeless After
landing a. Sandy Point the animal plune-
ed again into the water and this time
swan until he reached Osbrook or Paw
catuck Point at the mouth of the Pawca-
tuck river. Here he disappeared after an
aggregate swim of nearly or quite four
miles

I'VE have ordinances resumed the

Although it is true that such an in

also true that drivers who are prone 10

do not appear to be reached with lne

Gases of crippled, CALLED and overIaden

Goods Eight-Hour Bill"

FROM the London Express.
In the course of an address al a meet :
ing held recently in London in favor OF
Sunday observance the Bishop of London
said: Since ! have been over TO the other
side Of the Atlantic and seen how very
much more all the churches are united in
Christian progress there | have deter
mined to try and unite them on all ths
points We can in this country. In re-
gard TO Sunday, we have one of the great
est points on which Christians can be
united. ] look on the observance Of Sum-
day as one of nle finest pieces of Chris
tian evidence we have, and it is a piece
of evidence which cannot be refuted.
Secondly, We have in Sunday what 1 will
call the workers charter. and as clever
man observed TO me the other day. Sun
day Is Gods eight-hour BILL,
we mean to safeguard the one chance
for thousands of men and women for
caring for their souls. What we have to
remember is that this great boon of Sun,
with those who say that the rest of Sun
day has gone. but / notice various things
which are tending to rob us of IL. The
first of all is the breaking up of conveB-
tional religion. I do not regret that
breaking up. ] would rather have five
men In church because they wanted To be
there than 500 who are there because they
are driven in. The first use of Sunday is
worship. The man who sleeps till O'Clock
is pot keeping Sunday any better than
fellows who go boating. It il a day for
home life and reasonable recreation in
the best sense"

COMPARATIVE MoDEsTY.
Men Shamefaced About Opening
Suit Cases in Public.
n the Cleveland Plain Dealer.


It's queer the way most men hate to
have anybody see into their suit cases on
train. remarked a Pullman conductor
down at the local offices of the Pulma II
Company the other day.
Now. you'd think that woman would
he the modest one about having stran-
gers peer into the truck that she's got
with her in her suit case wouldn't you?''
suggested the conductor We'll. it's Just
the other way. The average woman
doesn't seem 10 care much. Not that
she's brazen about il. She simply hasn't
anything In her travelling case to be
ashamed Of. OF if she has it's tucked
away out of sight. She opens II, her
case, takes out kimono or comb and
brush or a fresh skirt and if anybody
wants 10 look. why. lei them look-that's $
the way she seems IL figure. She doesn't
see any occasion for being secretive
about il.
But its different with man lie

CQLoRED SHIRTS IN FAVOR.
Tinted Goods Fashionable-Yellow
Pinks and Grays Popular
From the Hal.erdasher

FROM tEt
Most notable in the developments of the
year end in shirts has been the tendency
in the best custom products toward
tinted grounds. Whereas heretofore the
effect has been gained principally from
the pattern, recent snowings in the me-
tropois tended noticeably toward solid
color materials. They are delicate hues
of course. light tans. yelows. pinks and
grays. For all that they are more con-
spicuous when worn than the ordinary
striped figured designs on white
grounds. The analogy is best made with
the shades of fiannels that have been IL
vogue during the past few summers In
these there has been little variation so
far the fabric tone is concerned 1t
may be expected that this preference Will
assert Itself later In the manufa ctured
goods. provided the try-out by the ex-
elusive shops is cordially received
Reference 10 fanneIs recalls the fact
that the newly imported stuffs are far
and away ahead of former years in both
the combinations of color and the MI
nuteness of the patterns. Effects hereto
fore regarded as impossible in fiannels be-
cause of the difficulty of getting detail
into soft fabrics are now being shown III
plaids and stripes particularly. The size
OF the designs is striking In stripes
for instance. the group or cluster con-
tains various colors and plain space OF
two inches or more intervenes between
the groups. In the plaids the same idea
is followed. each square being two inches
or more across.
Attempts are being made to bring the
short-bosom shirt to popular favor It's
n thoroughly rational idea and is deserv-
ing OF more attention than has been ac-
corded II by the trade. Men who wouldn I
wear bosom shirt after experience with
| the pleated or neglige styles in winter
| take to the short-bosom garment and find
| il much to their liking. One or two
! houses have found il profit Bile to give
| some prominence to this model IT begins

particular men.
/ Manufacturers find stripes still conspicu-
Gus in the demand. Instead of cancelinY
they are now beginning to book generous
orders The scurrying to get under cover

The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of.

From the american Magazine.
Some of our common dreams seem TO bs
directly traceable. Slipping down OF the
blankets is followed by dreams Of arctic
relief expeditions or falling into snow
drifts. A gas-distended stomach. pushing
up the diaphragm and compressing the
lungs. produces dreams of something

gles against other forms of suffoca alton
The common single dream. that of falling
from a great height, to wake with a gasp

dashed to pieces. is probably due 10 the
general muscular relaxation and falling

DUCKS AND GEESE.
Profits Made From Them If They
Are Properly Handled.

From the Country Gentleman
Waterfowl have attracted more than
passing attention of late for market. The
cultivation of reproducing strains OF
ducks has made possible the keeping OF
ducks at greater profit: where ducks
will lay sufficient eggs during year to
hatch a brood or two and to pay for their
own feed. they are very profitable prod
uct. They are easily kept within an In
closure. grow fast cause but little trou-
BILE or anxiety after they are week or
ten days old The consumption of ducks
as dressed poultry is largely on the in
crease. and for some rea son or other they
always sell at the higher price at the
same season of the year than that OBJ
tanned for poultry.
Geese. while growing in favor are more
difficult to manage: they do not pay so
well unless you have rough waste lands,
| with swimming pools. from the fact that
geese are heavy grazers. Some assert
that six geese will eat as much grass as
COW. This is not an actual fact. but
geese do consume a wonderful amount
Of he-bage of many kinds. For this rea-
son low marshy lands that cannot be
made use of for other kinds of grazing
can be most profitably utilized for the
growing of geese. On lands of this kind
they can be kept through the entire year.
providing there is a high place on dry
land that they can come to at night dur
ing the stormy weather. Lands that are
unfit for other kinds OF stock may be
most profitably made use of for the grow
Ing Of geese
In selecting geese it may well be re-
membered that feathers are one OF the
profita BILE considerations. and that white
feathers will sell for one or two cents
more pound than will colored ones.
There are many kinds of geese that may
be made use of. each grove selecting
the kind best suited to his locality. More
pounds of goose meat can be grown in
the same number Of days with less cost
per pound than in almost any other fowl
from the fact that more than one-half
their entire sustenance can be grazed
from the marshy lands. being fed only
for the first two or three weeks OF their
existence and after cold weather sets in,
when they are to be fed and fattened for
market.
To have the best results from turkeys.
ducks and geese one should select and
have in hand on his farm the stock TO be
made use of producers the next year
prior to the first of the year. Ducks and
geese brought on to place after the first
of March a-e not likely to prove very
profitable during that season. A well-set
flock of geese do best in their second
year and continue to do remarkably well
as producers for many. many years 1t is
always best to change the ganders at
least once in two or three years. Keep
the old geese SO long they will lay
eggs and produce flock OF gosllngs.
Ducks do not continue as profita BILE
breeders much beyond the third year.
Very old geese cannot be made palatable
for dressed poultry. Ducks can be quickly
fattened into palatable food at almost any
age: If taken quite thin in flesh and fed
on ric, fattening foods they will fill up
with juicy. palatable meat in a few weeks
and make fairly good market fowls.

Names Wild Pigeons.

From The kennebec Journal.
An item has been going the rounds of
the Maine papers to the effect that wild
pigeons have reappeared in small num-
bers in the eastern part of the state.
and il will undoubtedly be OF interest
to many people to know that these birds
were once so plentiful hereabouts that
the price was 30 cents a dozen, while a
man who formerly made a business of
catching them every year tells Portland
land reporter that he had known them
to be as low as IL cents a dozen. when
they were at that figure he remarked,
two neighhors OF mine who didn't care
TO take the trouble to pick them for
I cent per. tried 10 catch some for their
own use one day and SO many got into
the net that they had not only all they
wanted, but gave away heaps Of 'em. one
old man baing the recipient of a bushel
DasketfuI" Think OF that you who pay
good prices for squads. II this recent
report that the pigeons have come back
be true. it is extremely doubtful If they
ever are plentiful again. and no one will
have the pleasure of catching them in
nets. which was the principal method of
