George f. Bond went this morning to
Waits River to set a monument of Barre
granite in the village cemetery.
Mrs. C. P. Davie, who was called to
Barre by the illness of her daughter,
Mrs j. NJ Corskie Of Nelson street, has

Local game wardens have lately had
much occasion to warn individuals
against the practice of hunting without
license as well as carelessness when
in the woods with dogs. Along the
wooded range between Barre and Mont
pelier several deer have been seen within
the past two months. and on more than
one occasion the reason for their APP
peaTance in the open has been traced
to dogs. Often the game wardens have
been called to the woods between the
cities to cali dogs from the deer trail.
Within week a dog has been shot
while in the act of pursuing a deer.
1t is alleged on the part of certain game
wardens that dog owners openly set their
charges on deer trails and thus defy a
clearly interpreted section of the stat
utes. The officials declare that a severe
example of the offenders will be made
if the practice is not discontinued.

A STARTLING STATEMENT

A magazine writer, Frank Fay
ant in recent contribution to one
Of the big monthlies, makes the fol-
lowing startling statement:
"Siuce the time when Columbus
braved the unknown seas in search
of the treasure of the Indies, man
has dug out Of the earth fifteen
thousand million dollars worth Of
gold. Since the panic of 1907 the
American people have spent for
alcohol and tobacco just fifteen
thousand million dollars. Or to put
these two statements in the form of a
mathematical equation, the pro.
duct of 420 years of human toll,
sacrifice and bloodshed, of daring
discovery and exploitation, of
cruel wars of aggression and con-
quests, of wonderful engineering
triumphs in the never ending
search for the precious metal
equals six years easy going expend-

adding contidentially that he was the

He was exceedingly well cared Tor,
and early next morning he was called
before Napoleon, who was somewhat
puzzled at finding two Dukes of Mo.
dena among his prisoners. for the real
duke was also a prisoner. The real
duke angrily asked his counterfeit by
what authority he had assumed the
title nf Duke of Modena. The young
officer answered:
