Successful Deer Season.

The open season for hunting deer
closed last Saturday with q very good
show for the hunters. The light snow
that came the last Of the week was =
material assistance to the hunters, as in
several cases deer were wounded and
would have escaped il they had not been
readily followed by their tracks in the
snow. In several cases they were traced
several miles this way.
Perhaps the most exciting time was
that had by viii E. Sage, who had q
hard tussle with his deer. in which the
deer made quite cash in the hand OF
Mr.. Sage aud tore his clothes. Deer
and man rolled down a bank into the
brook and then over the brook to the
other side, where Mr.. Sage despatched
the animal with his knife.
The deer gotten by Clayton L. Dunbar
was an old stager. No one seems t.
know the age reached by deer, but THU
one must have been the grandfather O
them all. His hide was no good, hi
teeth were worn down, and although b.
weighed 275 pounds, yet his meat was 81
tough as to be worthless.
Five deer were secured in the vicinit,
of the Lattimer wood lot, situated abou
two miles westerly OF Bethel village.
In addition to those securing dee

whIteomb High school.

Friday afternoon, Miss Abbott left for
Boston, leaving written lessons for all Of
her classes. Miss Abbott returned to
Bethel Sunday.
The attendance al the high school was
rather poor last week because of the open
deer season. Four Of the schoolboys
were successful in bringing in deer.
John Wilson was presented with Ave
dollar gold piece in behalF of the high
school for the fine work he has done in
coaching the football team this fall.
There has been some talk at the high
school about organizing q hockey team
this winter. There Is q fine chance to
play hockey on Blue HUI pond, and as
there does not seem to be much chance OF
getting a ball to play basketball in, this
might be played instead.

WHITE SLAVERY

Oklahoma City, Okla, May 30.-Ac-
ton against the international white
slave traffic was secured in the north
ern Baptist convention, through the ef-
forts of the Rev NJ. P. Boynton of Chi
cago.
The convention adopted a resolution
introduced by Mr.. Boynton commend
ing organizations which are. working
against the traffic in white slaves. The
resolution says:
Whereas, the traffic in womanhood
and girls, commonly called the white
slave traffic, is increasingly active in
our large cities, proof of which is seen
in the conviction and imprisonment of
many persons for the crime of, Turing
young women to the cities by promises
of employment, only to sell them to
houses of shame, where in many cases
they are held in helpless and hopeless
slavery
'Resolved, that we commend such
organizations as purpose the destruc-
tion Of this unspeakable business.
"That we most respectfully urge
upon President Roosevelt the high
duty and desirability Of our govern
mcnt uniting with other nations to
suppress this traffic.

DREYFUs DRAMA
ARoUsEs PROTESTS


Paris, June 3.-Army officers have
sent protest to the director of the
Odeon theater where the military play,
"The Alibi." was presented for the first
time Il few days ago. They say that
the play makes for anti-militars1n.
The Alibi'' is by Gabriel Tr.rieux,
young dramatist who is under the in
f,uence of Sardou.
According to critics, the hero of the
play is the erstwhile Captain Dreyfus,
now n major in retirement. There are
many indications that the author tried
to show the conditions which led to
the false accusation of Dreyfus and to
his hasty conviction for treason
which he never committed. All through
the play runs an military senti-
rnent. The army officers are shown to
be men of lax morals, ready to commit
any crime for the sake of money or
advancement.
