Kills an Albino Buck.

One of the greastes prizes ever
captured by Vermont hunter was
brought down Monday by Howard
A. johnson Of Brattleboro, when he
killed an albino buck deer.
The deer is undoubtedly one of
the most remarkable freaks of nature
which has ever been captured in
Vermont. 1t measures little over
six feet in length and weighs about
$50 pounds. The animal is about
three years old and carries a we'll
developed pair of antlers. With the
exception of few tawny spots, the
deer is IA pure white, and its eyes
have peculiar reddish tinge 1t is

spring and summer months, has
broken camp. The results of the
protection of the gulls are most

gulls have been reared on the four
islands this year. This is a large
increase over the number raised last
year.
The success of the project is very
satisfactory to the Audubon society.

" "The One Thing Needful."

Here is a society note from Bos-
ton newspaper
Mrs. David P. Kimball, of Com
monwealth avenue, has gone to
Woodstock, VT, to enjoy there a
part of the fall season. After re-
turning to town from long summer
season at her cottage in the Profile
house group, in the White Noun
tains, Mrs Kimball remained only
briefly in Boston"
This is only sample item. These
people go to Woodstock because of
the excellent hotel there Woodstock
itself has comparatively little natural
attraction for them to distinguish it
from scores of otl,er New England
places But the hotel distinguishes
it from most New England places
And Woodstock gets the business
accordingly. st. Albans Messen-
ger.
The Messenger adds an eloquent
paragraph concerning the natural
beauties of picturesque but innless
St. Albans, and it's neighborhood,
"the most delightful region of east
ern America" which is doubtless
largely true, making some allowance
for journalistic enthusiasm.
The Messenger, however, errs in
attributing to Woodstock only
natural attractions found in scores
of other New England places. 1t
claims little more than that. 1t has
a superlative hostelry, to be sure, but
something besides altitude and air
brings people here twelve months in
the year.
