old buffalo tracks to them, for it was
from them that they always got their

for building barns and hen-houses.
Wild grasses are plentiful, while tame
grasses, such as timothy, bronze and
western rye grass do remarkably well.

Where Apostles Flshed.

The abundance of fish in che Sea
OF Galilee continues to this day to be
the wonder of travellers For tho
most part the fishing done by the
Syrians involves the use Of nets
probably identical in construction
with those of the Apostles, and the
best evidence that the fishing through
out all these centuries has been ac-
compiished by these nets is to be
found in the ease with which the
greater part of the fish may be de-
ceived with the aid OF any bait, nat
ural or artificial The pellucid wuter
Of this lake, with its everchanging
reflections, is in striking contrast with
the muddy depths of the River Jor-
dan. The silt in that stream, how

ierked my hand away.
IT'S like this, my dear" he said,
Human natures curious thing. It's
human nature, for instance, for me to
be crazy about you, when you're as
hands-offieh as curly porcupine. And
it is human nature, by the same token,
to like to be bulled, especially about
health, and to respect and admire the
fellow who does the bullying. That's
why we were crazy about Roosevelt,
and that's why Pierce is trailing his
kingly robes over them while they lie
on their faces and eat dirt-and
stewed fruit"
He reached for my hand again, but l
put it behind me.
But alas" he said, there is another
side to the human nature, and our
friend Thoburn has not kept sum-
mer hotel for nothing. 1t is notorious
ly weak, especially as to stomach. You
may feed 'em prunes and whole-wheat
bread and apple sauce, and after a
while they'll forget the fat days, and
remember only the lean and hungry
ones But let some student of human
nature at the proper moment introduce
just one fat day, one feast, one
revel-"
Talk English" said sharply.
Don't break In on my flights of
fancy" he objected. III you want
the truth, Thoburn is going to have a
party-a forbidden feast. He's going
to rouse again the sleeping dogs of ap-
petite, and send them ravening back
to the Plaza, to Sherry's and Del's
and the little Italian restaurants on
Sixth avenue. He's going to take
them upon high mountain and show
them the wines and delicatessen of
the earth, and then ask them If they're
going to be bullied into eating boiled
beef and cabbage"
Then l don't care how soon he
does it," | said despondently. I'D
rather die quickly than by inches"
"Die!" he said. mot a bit of 1t.
Remember, our friend Pierce is also
student of human nature. He's think

He had hppn nlaVinp with onn of thn

1t was by the merest chance that
glanced at it, and saw that he had

County Agricultural Club

Arrangements are being made for the
organization in Lamoille County of a
county agricultural club for the purpose
of promoting and encouraging various
crop growing contests among the school
children of the county. A meeting will
be held for this purpose at Morrisville,
March %, at p. m. in the Academy
building. F. B. jerks, Professor of Agri.
cultural Education at the University Of
Vermont, who has this kind of work in
charge in Vermont, will be present to ex.
plain methods and help in organization.
Similar organic ations have been formed
in other counties of the State, which have
aroused great interest, showing their
worth and benefit. Superintendents of
schools, school boards, principals and
other interested citizens are urged to be
present.

Choral Union

Although little mention has been made
of this years Choral Union and the work
which it is doing. the organization is
nevertheless very much in existence, and
laboring diligently on the music for the
coming Festival. The Executive Board
means to make this series of concerts
better, il possible, than those oilast year,
but we feel certain that the public needs
no reinsurance as to that, and will CO.
operate whole heartedly with the man
agement in making the Festival as great
a success as that of 1918. Tie chorus,
while not quite as great in numbers as
that of LAST year, makes up in quality
what it lacks in quantity, and is taking
up the new work with vigor and enthusi.
asm. Announcement of the soloists who
have been engaged to assist in the pro-
grams will be made in the near future,
together with the dates which have been
set for the concerts, and other interest
ing aud important items.
