''There are some advantages in growing . old said the Spinster as she sat back in her easy chair and knitted for dear life on an ice wool fascinator she is making to give one of her friends next Christmas
 Would you mind numbering some of them," I suggested, interestedly.
 "There are certain joys which compen- sate for advancing years" she replied as she caught up the pale pink wool in her 1.-the fingers and continued her work, and one of them is being able to see the results of experiments in which one is interested
 For instance?' I interogated.
 .Well," said the Spinster reminiscently '.1S years ago a child was born to a friend of mine-a friend who was the happy pos sessor of very pronounced ideas and the ores regarding the rearing or as we say in our dear old southland, the raising of children"
 And has she been successful" asked.
 "The youngster was reared according to the most approved methods of the au- thorities in such matters" said the Spin ster. "She was made to listen to the very best music from the time she was old enough to hear at all; she was shown the very finest pictures she had the best lit erature read to her, she was thrown with the most cultured people and everything imaginable was done for her education and edification."
 ''Treated like a grown-up, from the time she was chid.' l suggested. :, Exactly was the reply. "I don't sup pose the child ever heard those good old nursery classics of Hey Didde Diddle' and Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son. I know the child never even so much as glanced at comic supplement to Sun day newspaper, and as for hearing ap organ grinder chime out 'There'll be hot time in the old town tonight whenever he came in the neighborhood she was in- stantly conveyed to a remote place where she could not be contamina ted"
 And what did the poor little thing do?" l said, pitying such a childhood
 "Oh, Tales of Mythology and Shakes peare' were substituted for Cinderella and 'Bluebeard, said the Spinster as she knitted rapidly 'but she managed to live through it.'

breaking into verse as follows:

CROPPED his way
To a seat looking down on the

And I've seen some games, but,
alas-too true,
A triple play [ shall never view
And the thought Of the fact
brings tears.
Could | but see a triple play
From this bright earth I could
pass away,
With smile mid the echoing
cheers!
When the game was done and

Came pouring forth with joy
Gus song,
At the end of the glorious fray,
They found him lifeless where
he sat,
With a smile ike a satisfied
Cheshire cat
He had seen his triple play!'

Deer are Plentiful

Between SIS and 60 deer were
killed in this state during the month
of March, according to reports
received by the state fish and game
commissioner. Dogs were the prin-
cipal agent of destruction, the num-
ber killed outright by them being
given as 26 Five of these cases
took place in Windham- county. In
all probability these figures repre-
sent only portion of the number of
deer illegally killed, since many
carcasses are never found and many
that are found are never reported
The fact that so many deer have
been killed during the past winter
indicates that the slaughter during
the open season last fall did not ap-
preciable diminish the supply in
this state.-Brattleboro Reformer.

While building the fire, he opened

minutes he heard the dog barking
wildly and on looking out saw fox
coming toward the open kitchen
with the dog in hot pursuit. The
FIX shot past Mr.. Stearns through
the kitchen into the sitting room
and the dog with wide open jaws
tight ''to his heels About that
time Mr.. Stearns had collected him
self sufficiently to close the door. and
t,ke position where he could watch

long, as the dog soon cornered the
hewildered fox and shook him to
death.
