w. T. Ashby, of Parkhurst, Aroos-
took county, famed as a backwoods
philosopher, expert woodsman and
hunter, and also as the only man
who ever had a bareback ride on
a wild caribou, admits the truth of re
cent reports that the caribou, long
vanished from Maine, may have re-
turned in scattering herds to various
localities in the northern part of the
State, but declares that so long as
deer are numerous caribou never
will return in any considerable num-
bers and that these graceful animals
are not likely again to be included In
the wild game of Maine. Says Ashby:
II don't dol - that Bert Spencer
saw a drove of caribou in the north
western part of the State. Small
herds are frequently seen along the
northeastern border of Maine, both In
winter and summer. In that tract of
country, in New Brunswick and Que
bee, known as the Highlands, great
droves of caribou live and thrive.
"OVer there the caribou are abun-
dant and often cross the line and visit
the old feeding grounds of their an
cesters in Aroostook, for in this coun-
ty the great American reindeer once
roamed in great numbers, fat and
happy.

ing grounds and retire to the Cana

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
A Rich Mans Gift to Poor Young Man

In the last two or three years of his
! life Coils p. Huntington, one of the
greatest of American constructive
forces, permitted himself some social
distractions which his earlier career,
on account of imperative business
calls occupied all his time, did not
permit him to enjoy.
He was very fond of chatting with
men who were of congenial dispos1-
ton of the earlier days of his career
as a constructive railroad man. and
he would narrate anecdote after an
ecdote which described the person
alities of the great men with whom
he was ssociated-Hopkins, Stan
ford and Crocker--who with him built
the railroad east of San Francisco to
the meeting point of the Union Pa
cific.
Mr.. Huntington was fond of tell
ing some of his earlier experiences In
the development of what became the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
of which he was the pre-eminent au-
thority and which is passing into
tradition as his great constructive
work.

|UNCOVERING OF ROMAN CITY
YIELDS IMPORTANT DATA

The old Roman city of Uriconium,
near the well-known wreSin. in
Shropshire, England, Is gradually
being dug out. The excavation work
has already yielded results of ex-
traordinary interest, and will, 1t is
ex, ected, greatly add to tho knowl-
edge of the Roman oceupatioV and
what was happening In Britain at
the period, says the Pail Mall Ga
zette.
Uriconium or Vlroconium-the lat
ter was probably the more correct
form-was situated at the juncture of
the principal Roman ruads-one, from
London and the southeast. the Wat
ling street, and the other passing
through Kenchester and Church
Streton from the legionary fortress
of Caerleon, In South Wales. There
were also other roads leading from it
to Chester and Wales, and the towns
must have formed an important CEN
tire in Roman Britain.
The most important discoveries yet
made in connection with the excava-
ton work now in progress are as
follows:
The circuit of the city measured
about three miles and inclosed an
area of 40 acres-that Is, about
twenty acres larger than Pompeii.
About half the public baths and the
basilica, or town hall, of the city have
been uncovered, the latter an impos-
ing building, with nave fioored
with tiles in herringbone fashion, and
the aisles with geometrical patterns
In mosaic. 1t is about the same
length as the basilica at Pompeii, but
slightly narrower.
Part of the cemetery has also been
dug out, and some interesting tomb
stones and other objects were found;
also four houses, evidently large
shops. with porticos on the street
and dwelling rooms at the back
There has also been uncovered a

temple measuring about 50 feet by 30
feet, the entrance of which was under
portico of six columns. 1t must
have been a fine structure, as many
well worked architectural fragments
came from it. Portions of several
statues, the head of horse In stone
and parts of two affairs were found
In it.
The excavators are row uncovering
large building with portico on the
street of lis feet. This building has
already been traced back 200 feet. 1t
contained many rooms, some with
rough mosaic pavements and others
with cement floors. Four rooms had
hypocausts, or hot-air heating appa-
ratus In the court yard was a large
well, built of massive blocks of stone.
While digging out these buildings
interesting small objects in lver,.
bronze, iron, ivory, bone, Jet, glass
and other materials have been found.
Among the most noteworthy are an
amythist gem engraved with q figure
of Venus, a. bronze disk with the de-
vice in different colored enamels Of an
eagle holding fish, an ivory clasp
knife handle in the form of a croucRs
ing lioness and small cameo of a
ladys head; also, many brooches
rings, etc.
A large amount of pottery, much of
1t Samian ware, was imported into
this country from France and Ger
many. The coins found number about
7o0, and range from the Republican
period-that is, before % B. C.-to the
Emperor Theodosius |. (3SS-398 A. d..
There are large number of coins of
last half of the fourth century.

Something new under the sun!
Here's really new craze which mas
been enticing the enthusiasm OF all
Europe, young and old, for the last
six months, says the New York Sun.
It is the craze of the picture stamp"
and before many weeks 1t promises
to sweep across the ocean and invade
our ports as well.
IT was Germany that discovered and
made universally popular the picture
postcard, and now that the custom
of sending and collecting these Is on
the wane, 1t has discovered and popu-
larized a successor. 1t looks as If 1t
is a very worthy one, and likely to
rival, If not actually exceed, the
popularity of the postcard.

after the young man called upon me
at my office at New York. He said
he had come to thank me for himself

this clipping, and he replied that If
I offered him all of my fortune he

glad that it had pleased me to re-

him that he was the rare exception

vour savings into a home for yourself

To attempt to set up your own

To try and measure the enjoyment

To expect uniformity of opinions in

Two-cent Fares in Australia.

From the Kansas City Journal.
II have noticed newspaper reference
/ to the two-cent street fares in sgd
ney, Australia" said an officer at the
United States navy recruiting station
in the Federal building yesterday aft
ernoon. Sydney has two cent fares
all right. l was there on naval duty
In September, 1912, and had occasion
to learn the ropes.
1.-THE fare is one penny, which is the
equivalent of two cents. Each street
car line is operated in sections.
section averages a little more than a
mile in length, and the line COM
prises four or five sections. You pay
one penny for riding on each section.
If your journey begins just before the
end of one section and ends a little
after the beginning of the next block,
even If the distance is only a block or
two, you must pay twopence, or four
cents. There are no transfers. L re-
member making one ride of a little
less than twelve miles on two lines
of railroad. 1t cost me ninepence or
eighteen cents.
"Reports of two-cent fares on the
street cars aren't the only things
which sound better told over here
than they really are in Australia. We
had occasion to coal our ship while at
Sydney. Because of labor conditions
there we could not use our own men
to load the coal. The labor unions
dominate Australia, and we had to
employ union labor to coal the vessel,
The laws affecting labor are very
rigid in Sydney and eight hours is
the maximum any laborer is per
mitted to work in a single day. The
coal beavers went~to work at 8
o'clock in the morning and worked an
hour and half. Then they laid off
for a rest.
After an hour or so they went to
work again and worked another hour
and a half. Then they laid off for
tiffin. They worked another stretch
and laid off for tea. So it went on,
and it was 10 o'clock that night be-
fore they had gotten in their eight
hours work and coaled the ship. Our
own men, fewer in number, would

hour shift and had it over with"

Hungry Crows Kill and Devour a Jap

which had been presented recently by
a friend returning from the Orient
to Ralph Marion. owner of farm in
the Christian Hook section OF
Oceanside. Long Island, wandered a
short distance from the farmhouse
yesterday and was stalking sparrows
when a flock of hungry crows de-
scended on 1t.
The leader OF the crows swooped
like hawk on the cat, attacking
with claws, wings and beak. Fuzzy
WI tried to run away. but crows
swarmed in from all directions
From his house, Marion saw the huge
black birds Tapping their wings a
few feet above the ground and then
darting awkwardly downward. Wher
he approached them, the flock took
flight, cawing angrily and leaving
on the ground the remains of a jap
