Fisheries Bureau Hopes to Make Dia-
mondback Plentiful.
WASHINGTON. june 1o.-If YOU
write to the bureau Of fisheries, depart
ment Of commerce, YOU can find out
how to breed and rear diamondback
terrapin in your backyard. Terrapin is
becoming scarce, but the bureau 5 eX-
perts believe artificial propagation can
again make it so numerous as to be
within reach of the poor man S purse.
Time was, it is stated, when terra
pins We're so common that even the
most lowly turned up their noses at
them; but that OF course, was before
the 81 portion days. The bureau Of
fisheries in connection with its circular
says:
From what has been accomplished
! it appears probable that in favorable
localities the business of propagating
terrapin viii be profitable, and if the
necessary encouragement be given by
the states the rapidly vanishing ami
NAL may continue to be one of the
sources of income to our fishermen.

As work on the town highways pro
crosses under the direction of Commits
siouer Brown, The Meddler along with
a great many other people is becoming
more and more convinced that Brattle-
boro at last has discovered the right
man for this particular job. One
reason why Mr.. Brown is making so
competent an official is because he Is
perfectly aware of the fact that he
loesn t know a great deal about road
building. Therefore, instead of under
taking himself any of the numerous
Dig Jobs with which his department is
confronted he has adopted the common
sense policy of getting the work done
oy some experienced contractor Thus
ar this policy seems to be working
1ut finely. At least, the contractor

The MeddLer
ri The coat fits you. PIT ii on.

A we'll known BrattIeboro woman.
about to start for Boston, happened
to think as she stood before the ticket
Office that she was clad in a new gown
whose skirt was too seant for long
striding. At the same time She had d
vision Of the distance from the plat
form to the car steps at Millers Falls.
She had planned to 20 to the Hub
over the Fitehburg division, but imme-
diateIy changed her mind and bought
a ticket by way of Palmer.
Brattleboro is probably no different
from any other town Of its size when
it comes to patronage Of sports, al
though just at the present time it
would seem as if there were a whole
lot Of Pikers within its limits The
Meddler makes this statement after
learning of the treatment the baseball
canvassers have received in certain
quarters. There are no two opinions
rs to the way the sport was conducted
here last summer; the management wa:
ehildishlv inefficient and a quantity Of
good money was wasted. But that wa,
last season. This year new board d
directors has been chosen and plans
are being made to run baseball on Al
economical basis. On this account TIL,
directors ought to have the fnancia
and moral support of every follower o
the national game in town. Their
may be differences Of opinion as to tin
Ipolicy Of this or that move, but Their
is no reason why the directors shouI,
not be backed up. Between now an,
