Wben you come to think this thing oyer, the vaca- tionist is right. Canaan men are well fed, round and jolly. It's the result of the pure air and healthful surroundings. There have been instances where men whose clothes hung on them like a meal sack on broom handle, located in Ca naan and at the expiration of a few months became so healthy that it actu- ally worried them.

 Looking for Jail Breakers
 Constable L. O. Rhoades received notification Saturday night that two men who escaped from the Ulster County, N. Y, jail at Kingston on July 2Oth, were supposed to be headed toward Canaan. A Sunday search re- vealed no trace of their whereabouts. On Monday deputy sheriff William Coyns of Kingston came to Canaan and, in company with MT. Rhoades, thoroughly secured this territory but without success. A number of people in Great Burlington, Egremont, East Canaan and other villages claimed to have seen men either on Sunday or Monday, who answered the description of the fugltives but in each instance 1t developed that the parties seen are not the ones who are wanted. The men were committed to the Kingston jail on a charge of burglary.

 One day last week the college boys who are camping on the ''cobble'' be- tween Canaan and Ashley Falls ob- served a canoe in which two middle aged men were making their way up the river, and after conversing with them for a few minutes, prevailed upon the men to accept the hospitality of the camp for breakfast. After the repast discussion ensued of everything from the probable success ot William H. Taft in the coming campaign to the re- markable pitching of Chic Evans of the Hartford nine. AS the gentlemen rose to go, the one who had been doing most of the talking, remarked: By the way, boys, if you happen to have any spare time when you are in New York, drop around and see me and I'll show you where the fun is.''
