Children Wander Through
Sw n m a.

Brandon, Nov. 7.-Sitting on log on
the shore of Lake Dunmore, with his
five-year-old brother dead but few
feet away, Herbert, three-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Chauncey Clark of
Salisbury, was found last evening at
7 o'clock nearly overcome by exposure
and hunger.
The body of Joseph was found in
about three feet of water, where in his
famished condition and WEAKNESS he
had fallen. The body was not found
until O'Clock this morning, although
search was kept up for the missing
child nearly all night.
The children were last seen yester-
day morning at 10 O'Clock, when they
were driving cows near their home.
The parents soon after began a search
for the little ones, calling OH the neigh
bors to assist them. 1t was not, how
ever, until darkness came that posse
of 200 men was formed and two hours
later the Youngest child was found in a
daZed condition sitting on the log with
his feet in the water. He did not
know where his brother was, saying
that Joseph had gone on home and left
him.
The baby was very cold and was
nearly famished. The little fellow
was taken to his home and soon revived
and appeared but little the worse to-
day considering the experience of yes
terday.
The posse searched for the o Their boy
until the early morning hours today
when the heavy rain and darkness
stopped their travel. At daybreak the
posse was out and little Joseph's body
was soon found.
The children had been traced through
swamps and dense woods and had
travelled many miles although their
home was but half mile from the lake.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark have, besides
Herbert, one other child, an infant.
Mr.. Clark, before his removal to
Salisbury, was for some years a resi-
dent of Middlebury.

of about FIVE hundred books on fiction

About one-third of the books are re-

made upon recommendation Of those
In charge Of the ships, but It has de-
veloped that this Is not satisfactory

points Of view on literature possessed
by the responsible persons. So It il
proposed to standardlZe the libraries
by making the changes in Washington,
