While the trainmen are supposed to
see that no one beats his way, In these
days of air brakes and other modern
equipment the train crew is not out
on top" so much as in the old days
and when they do see DO stealing
ride they do not often disturb him.
An amusing incident occurred a while
ago in connection with a tramp who
was beating his way inside an empty
coal car He was sitting on the bottom
of the car, leaning against the side
next the river, in full view OF persons
in the stores on the other side of the
track. The train stopped long time
in the rear of the stores, and several
clerks and customers in one store be-
gan throwing things into the car in an
effort to dislodge the vagrant. The
man successfully lodged the missiles,
however, and finally placed his thumb
70 his nose as an expression Of CON
tempt and moved acress the car to get
under the shelter of the side next tC
the buildings. Then someone in the
store said: = Get some ammonia. Two
ounces of real spirits of hartshorn were
put into a four-ounce bottle and clerk
with a good aim hurled 1T into the car
where the bottle broke. The effect Was
immediate and the hobo cast an angry
glance up to the store as he beat il
! over the side of the car.

SAY MINES SANK IL
SHIPS IN THE THAMES
German U Boats Slipped Through Nets
and Spread Disaster, Swedish Of
ficer Reports.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.-Officers
of the Swedish steamship Tomsk which
arrived here yesterday from Baltic sea-
ports by wa of Newcastle, England
told Of the destruction of II large
steamships at the mouth of the Thames
on October II. .-.-,,
The Tomsk sailed from Newcastle on
October is, where she had stopped for
a supply of bunker coal, for Philade1-
phia with a general cargo. When off
Scarborough Head the following morn
ing the Osceola, laden with 10000 tons
of ammunition and explosives for the
troops at the Dardanelles was encoun-
tered.
Capt. Wiborg and his officers, who
were on the bridge, caught sight of .
/ German submarine heading for the Os-
ceola The latter vessel turned quick
! ly and started on a zig gag course, mar
rowly missing the Tomsk in her ma
noeuvre. Fortunately both ships were
| fast and soon got away from the sub
marine, which dived under the sea.
While the Tomsk was at anchor for
the night near Goodwin s Sand her of
tieers learned of the sinking of Il
steamships and the loss of their crews
The story was told by the pilot, whc
had brought the ships through the
mined channel.
On the night Of October II he said
a German naval vessel, as far as could
be learned, had made its way through
the openings Of the steel nets spread
across the channel between England
and France and proceeding up to tn,
mouth of the Thames planted a number
of mines and then escaped On tn,
following morning, no vessels being al
lowed to proceed during the night, l.
big steamships of different nationali
ties came up and one after anothe
struck the floating mines and wer'
blown to atoms, sinking with all thei
crews, so far as the officers of tn
ii Tomsk could learn

FARM CROPS ARE
WORTH SIS, 500, 900, 900
This Years Enormous Harvest the
Most Valuable in the Country
History.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. - The ma
ton 5 principal farm crops this year
are worth about $500, 0oo,00G, exceed
ing by more than $5O0,000,000 their
value in 1914, the previous banner
value year in the country s crop his
tory. There has been an unprecedented
harvest, many Of the crops exceeding
their best records, and high prices due
to the influence of the European war
have contributed to swell the total
value.
Statistics announced by the depart
ment of agriculture in its November
crop report base values on prevailing
November prices. Corn, with pro-
duction of 5000, 500 900 bushels - 81
| 100000 bushels below the record crop
is worth 81 ,913, 025,Q11, the most val

TOO LATE IN RESCUE
Victim Was Child of MI. and Mrs. Eli

Signs of Life Appeared.

BETHEL, Nov. 9.-Clarence Pa
quette, aged nearly two years, third
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Eli Paquette.
was drowned Saturday noon in a large
kettle CT cold water used for watering
stock and situated back of the house
The little boy had been standing on
the ground, playing in the water and
lost his balance and fell in head fore
most. Having missed the child a few
minutes, the mother was fastening to
a brook which runs near the house.
when the frstborn child, Joseph, aged
six years went around the house ana
finding Clarence in the watering ket-
tie, quickly pulled him out and then
called his mother.
The little fellow was apparently
dead but she telephoned at once for
physicians, DR.. L. A. Russlow of Ran
dolph arriving in about Is minutes, DR..
o. V. Greene and several neighbors
about the same time. The doctors
worked two hours over the little body.

Crews Not ''Out on Top so Much as
in Old Days - Periodical Raids by
officers How One Was Routed by
Bottle of Ammonia.

In spite of the colder weather there
appears to be little diminution in the
number CT tramps who ride through
Brattleboro on freight trains. All sum-
mer long freig hts have been carrying,
almost without exception, knights of
the road, who ride between the ears, in
empty box ears or in the coal ears that
are empty or partly filed.
Almost any day when the weather
is not too cold persons working or liv-
ing in quarters above the railroad can
look down into the cars and see from
two to five persons beating their way.
They do not like to take the chance
of being seen when the trains are in
the yard and so watch for an oppor-
tunity to get on board just as the trains
pull out. A few days ago two hoboes
were seen to get ON and off a train
four times Just north of Milestone
brook. Each time they boarded the
train it would stop to do n little more
switching and they would get off. The
fifth time the train started they as
sumed that it would stop again and SO
waited, bat the train kept on and got
under such Roadway that the tramps
| didn t take the chance of boarding il
and gave up In disgust until the next
| train came along.

ZINE BLUFF
 ROGRESS
 ROsPERITY
WlAtNTED-A PREVENTIVE.

Since Goat Shed has become such a popular place for carousers and carousals, many are the complaints coming from people residing on the pike by which this resort is reached of reckless auto driving and more reckless discharging of firearms.
 One young man of Moscow Is in serious condition as the result of in juries suffered when his car was nit and turned over by a heavy car which continued it's way with care less disregard as to the condition oi the victim; a COW was found shot tc death near the same place; numerous hogs and chickens have been killed and several houses fired into.
 The sheriff's department is under' stood to be exerting unusual dili- gence in the effort to detect and ar. rest the criminally and maliciously careless. but this seems d;fficul task.
 It is evident, however, that some thing must be done if blcodshed is t. be averted. The people along this road hay~ suffered long and patient ly, but there will come time when they will conclude patience is nc lcnger virtue.
 This is what will happen then: Ex- asperated by the firing of bullets Into his hone or by the killing of some of his animals, some good citl- zen is going to forget the law and pour a charge of buckshot into one of these gangs of carousers.
 And when the shooting is investi- gated, the jury will promptly return verdict of justifiable homicide.

One evening few days ago t bruke out of the field and went to the graveyard, mile and half away The animal endeaYo.ed to get in, but was unsuccessful. It then broke into 8 field adjoining the sides of the cem etery. and made desperate efforts to climb the wall separating it from it's masters grave It was taken away. and locked in the stable. where 1t was found dead the following morning,

PUTTING UP THE SCREENS.

There is no doubt about it that screen doors and screen windows be- iong to the highest achievements ot sanitary science. Before the days of the general use of such contrlvances in spring and summer, flies ana mosquitoes looked ? hundred times mere formidable than they do now. In those days beyond recall it was a common sight to see an army of files fighting the battle of the Yser right on top of mama's cherished cake They also woulde construct trenches on the meat. Their line of communi- cation between the nearest piles 0t garbage and the meal table was never interrupted, and if occasionally one of them fell in the coffee nobody was particularly irritated about it. There were improved methods that landed their dead bobies out of the waves without the use of grappling hooks. And if occasionally the bapy swallowed fly, or one of the dirty things played on the child's ruby ' lips, nothing was thought of it. Yet when the dear little one got sick and frequently died it was blamed on that thing of all trouble, hard luck.
 Times have changed since then The lines of communication are cut There is no marching host between the manure aud filth and the family tsbie. Every time fly attempts Y he humps np against what is known
