The great amount of attention be-

swinging the other way.
Motoring in the islands Is said to

many miles of good roads near sea

grim tragedy that had been played
in the old fir avenue SO many years
ago?
And then I first saw the thing that
came towards me.
1t was moving up a narrow path,
hedged with yew, that led from the
gardens and passed to the right of
the wing in which stood. The yew

feet high, but the eastern gales had
beaten out gaps and ragged indenta-

shifty light. Yet II left me with an
impression that 1t was about four
feet in height and of a dull white
color. I remember that its body con-
trasted plainly with the dark hedges,
but melted into uncertainty against
patch Of snow. Once 1t stopped and
half raised itself on its hind legs as

forward in it's stumbling, ungainly
fashion-now hidden by the yew wall,
now thrust into momentary sight by
a ragged gap until 1t disappeared

park, and 80 to the woods-where a

a pair of less active followers. What
they wanted I did not consider; for
at that moment the sight Of my own

which we stood. There was no shrub

Fake Dispatch Printed on Pacific

into the cities of the Pacific coast in
which he has pictured the town of
Bennington as an Adamless Eden in
which wives can be had for the ask

being overwhelmed with an avalanche
of letters from amorous SWANS in the
far west that threatens to send that
urbane official to some rest cure san

has already received that are worry

of the future, AS he sizes up the sit

Rocky Mountains and the Staked
Plains of Texas, only the most vivid
imagination can picture. In the
meantime he has made arrangements
for a special file under the head OF

engagement of another stenographer
and perhaps two.
The dispatch, which caused all the
trouble, and which clippings inclosed
in the letters so far received show

reads as follows:

VOTED FIRST FOR VAN BUREN,
Samuel Willard, 81, Says II Always
Shows on his Birthday

North Adams, Feb. 17.-Samuel Mil
lard, who makes his home with his
daughter, Mrs. ~ B. Flood, of S31
Massachusetts avenue, is today cele
brating his 9th birthday. Almost
without exception during his long life
snow has fallen on February II and
Mr.. Willard will watch today for the
familiar herald of his birthday. Mr.
Willard was born in Stamford, VT, aud
has been told that the winter of mis-
birth was remarkable in that there
had been no snow until he came into
the world. 1t showed all that day.
Likewise he has been told that during
the first few years of his life. when
he was hardly old enough to remem-
Der anniversaries in particular that it
always showed on his birthday. He
does not remember a February II on
which it has not showed.
Mr. Millard is rather proud of the
fact that he has never missed voting
at presidential erection since he
cast his first ballot for Martin Van
Buren,. While somewhat feeble and
with impaired eyesight, MIR. Willard
takes an interest in local matters es
pecially and keeps in touch with cur
rent events, having the paper read to
him. He lived in Stamford until 1864
when he moved to North Adams. Mr..
Millard, during his younger days, was
a carpenter and first made his home
on the site of the present postofiice.
Willard street was named from him,
as he developed that tract of land
