Railroad Man Injured.

Rollins Alonzo Thurston, an employe
in the engine house at Lyndonville was
brought to Brightlook Hospital in a
critical condition yesterday morning.
While assisting the hostIer to put an en-
CINE into the house he fell from the step
on the tank and two wheels went over
his left leg, crushing it horribly. The
accident happened near the ash pit, north
of the engine house
At the hospital it was decided that the
leg would have to be amputated above
the knee and his condition is considered
dangerous
Thurston is a single man, 26 years old,
and his home is in Lebanon, N. H., where
his mother lives. He has been employed
by the railroad since last Thursday, only
coming to Lyndonville about two weeks
ago with the Swaford pavilion theatre.

Gave Worthless Checks.

Charles L. King of Peacham recently
bought cattle of the farmers in Crafts
bury and Glover, giving in payment
checks on the First National bank of St.
Johnsbury. Later it was discovered
that the checks were worthless, there
being no deposit in the bank to his
credit and four warrants were sworn
out for his arrest. A. c. Chase of
Greensboro took the writs and started
in search of King. He found that King
had shipped the cattle and received his
pay for them and was buying more
stock. He was located in Greensboro
and taken to Newport and confined in
the county Jail, awaiting trial at Glover
on August 8.

A Big Revenue Gutter

Dr. Charles F. Aked of New York recently gave the young women of his congregation ad- vice about matrimonial extrava- gance. Compared with the Eng fish girl, the American girl is a great spendthrift. Shortly after the return of the fleet two naval officers were talking about their wives. Naturally, they used nau- tical terms.
 What dear little craft your wife isl" said the first.
 Dear and little," did you say? She is dear, all right, but there is nothing little about her. Why, she is the biggest revenue cutter I have ever seen. ."-Ex.

NEW MAP PRESENTED
 TO TANANA SCHOOL

Tuesday afternoon Miss Edna Marcy, Tanana's accomplished schoolmistress, was rendered a glad surprise by q visit from self-appointed committee of townsmen. The committee included Judge Phil Gallaher and Deputy Mar shal George Vautier, representing the department of justice: G. H. Tiffany, of the postoffice department, and Sam Callahan, of The Leader. Miss Marcy very graciously welcomed the gentle men and permitted them to witness the recitation of lessons by the younger classes. Reading and blackboard ex- ercises were had, and half q dozen little tots sang the ''Chickadee Song" and "Asleep in the Frost" in a charm ingly sweet, childish manner, accom- panied by well-acted gestures which bespoke careful training.
 The time having come when a too- long-delayed explanation to the teacher was imperative, Judge Gallaher, as spokesman, arose, and, holding aloft in his hand tenfoot tubular scroll, said: Miss Marcy. have here one of the latest, largest, completest and alto gether most reliable maps of the United States, compiled under govern ment supervision and designed for the use and benefit of these and suc- cessive representatives of the rising generation, which, on behalf of our disting uished delegate to congress, Hon. James Wickersham, it becomes my duty in the exercise of pleasant prerogative to pass, through you its present preceptress and recognized authority, to the keeping and custody of the Tanana public school. In con clusion, I would say that in an earlier period of my career I taught school myself, and l want you to feel sure of my, hearty sympathy and moral SUD- portland I am sure these gentlemen here present and all other worthy per- sons will voice my sentiments. It is not a fitting time now to discuss the relative merits of the vigorous physical system under which I imbued with high ideals the youth under my charge and the gentler persuasive influences it is so easy to be seen that you have given preference. l will only say that who- ever, under any circumstances, under- takes to mould into an orderly mass the intellectual vagaries of heteroge- neous collection of unripe minds, with an iadeterminate amount of hereditary predilection running counter to all &C., cepted rules of logic, will have no sinecure."
 Miss Marcy returned thanks in brief appropriate words. The gentlemen of the committee hung the new map on the cozy schooliouse wall, and propri- ety suggested that the meeting ad-

EUROPE TALKS
 ONLY OF FLYING

The effect of the week of aero plane races at Rheims has been seen in the reports of new faith in the coming conquest of the air as practical means of trans portation, or at least as new field of study in the science of war. America and France had outshone all other nations in the aviation tests. After Farman had won the grand prize of Cham pagne py flying 118 miles in 3 hours 14 minutes and 26 seconds, Curtiss had upheld American prestige by winning the interna- tional trophy and worlds cham pionship in September. He flew in his machine 12 2,5 miles in 15 minutes and 3-5 seconds. This brings the cup to the Aero Club of America and requires that next years contests be held in America. Curtiss won $500O cash prize. On the same day M. Ble- riot made new speed record of 6 1-5 miles in z minutes AZ 4,5 seconds. Even the Americans present were forced to admit that the Wright type of aeroplane had been completely eclipsed by the French monoplanes and the fac tories for the construction of the latter are running overtime to fill numerous orders, reminding the public of the early stages of the automobile industry. The Wrights, in defense of their ma chine, say that inexperienced men were in charge of those seen at Rheims.

WATER WORKS IN
 NEED OF FUEL
We'll! We'll /!

The townwell house has been finished, a brand stove has been placed in it, and wood enough has been borrowed from neighbors to keep the place com- fortably warm. Nearly dozen large barrels have been put in the house and filled with water, to'be used in cases of emergency. Everybody in town is proud of the new winter water system, and aN admit that it is a great con venience to the public-it beats the hole-in- the-ice proposition to a merry fare-ye-well.
 But to maintain it, and keep it from freezing; to always have, during the cold weather, a good ly supply of fuel at hand-there's the rub! Our town with its we'll finds itself in the same position as did Fairbanks a short time ago with it's beautiful public li- brary-it had the house, books, and all necessary equipment ex- cept the heat. They had to de- wise ways and means to raise the necessary funds, and they did so; so will Panama for it's water works, or the good work already done will come to naught, and

take this parrots cage and put it on
pedestal fourteen feet high, the
pedestal standing on a marble slab.
Then / place a lader on this side,
reaching up to omen door, and a lad
