You cannot mistake the odor Of
stale or bad eggs. To certain ex-

to bad odors. Some believe that the
egg absorbs odors after being laid BY
coming in contact with foreign sub.

indicate that a hen had been drinking
kerosene. Eggs that are exposed to
odors of kerosene in some close back
room or whose shells have become
saturated with the oil will have ket.

One day Lescott, whose bandaged
arm gave him much pain, but who was
able to get about, was strolling not far
from the house with Samson. They
were following narrow trail along
the mountain side, and, at a sound no
louder than the falling Of a walnut,
the boy halted and laid silencing
hand on the painters shoulder. Then
followed an unspoken command in his
companions eyes. Lescott sank down

For time the mountain boy

saw his lips draw in a straight line
and his eyes narrow with a CLINT Of

nod to follow, the boy unexpectedly
rose into view and his features were
absolutely expressionless.

NEW POST OFFICE MONDAY
Furnishings VIII Be Moved to Calder
wood Block Saturday and Sun
dav.

Next Monday morning for the first
time in more than half a century you
cannot get your mail on THE Plain"
in st. Johnsbury as the post office
will be moved Saturday and Sunday
to it's new location in the Calderwood
Block at the corner of Eastern ave-
nue. and Pearl street. Workmen are
busy smoothing and oiling the floor
in the new block and expect to have
it ready so the moving can begin Sat-
urday.
The removal from the present
building on Main street is made simp-
ly because the business of the office
has grown until the available rooms
there did not give space enough. The
post office was moved in there As
years ago as soon as the block was
completed and since the death of
Governor Fairbanks the income from
it has gone towards the support of the
Athenaeum.
All of the western section of the
village is sorry to see the office go
so far down the hill and eagerly
await the purchase of a site further
up the Avenue by the government
for the construction Of federal
building.

thrown back or held stationary until
the pigskin went to their opponents

through that line and finally IL was
given up as a bad job. After the five
minute rest the "Over homers." as they
are known as in Barre, went back in
to the fight with an entirely different
method of attack. No longer was
their strength wasted in battering the
Spaulding stonewall. but shifty plays

TWO GOOSE EGGS

By Spaulding High and MOntpe[

Whether Spaulding High has the
best eleven in Vermont is perhaps de-
batable, but they have as much right
to the claim now as existed before
the game last Saturday at Barre, where
for the second time this season they
trampled St. ]. A. under foot. The
score was 23 to o, and leaving all
prejudice and sectional feeling aside
the losers were lucky to be let down
as easy as they were. They were out
played at every stage Of the game and
only by a plucky fight and a change
of tactics in the last few minutes of
play did they keep Spaulding from
showing them under.

Possibly InfantiIe Paralysis.

Beatrice, the young child of Mr..
and Mrs. Alexander Larson of Rail
road street, died Sunday morning from
what the doctors believed to be in
fantile paralysis. The state laboratory
was notified and Monday Drs. B. H
Stone Whitney and Taylor came to
conduct an autopsy. They took por-
tions of the viscera to Burlington for
further analysis and cannot make
further announcement until that is
finished.
This is the only case during the
past week and it is thought the hard
frosts Sunday and Monday will stop
the ravages of the disease.
