bend Of small stream, where high
banks concealed US from observation.
There was little to eat in our haver-
sacks. but we munched what we had.
and Taylor, his eyes on the horses,
broke the silence.
Il reckon the critters don't need
more'n couple hours rest" he said.
"They amt been rid noways hard. an

We rested, doing. but neither sound
asleep, for nearly three hours. What
ever might be in Taylor's mind, the
lonely night had brought to me new
thought relative to my companion.
The fellow was evasive, and once he
had frankly lied in seeking to explain
his presence in the valley, and the rea-
son for his secrecy of movement. BY
now we were decidedly at cross-pur-
poses, each vigilantly watching the
other-Taylor in doubt as to what the
bundle contained, which I never per-
mitted out Of my grasp, and myself as

pocket of the mountaineers coat. His
mission, whatever 1t might be, was Sc

less vigilance was proof.

horses bore us into the village of Hot

golf know what an important moment
this is and how necessary it is that
everybody. and everything should be
quiet. Just as he brought the head of
the putter back to hit the ball young
caddie came running up waving both
arms and yelling: Hey. Mr.. Goddard.

wide of the cup by at least two feet.
then he turned to the caddie and
asked: Don't you know enough to

DICKENS ADVICE TO HIS SON

Man Of Deep Religious
Conviction.

When Charles Dickens son went to
Cambridge the great novelist wrote:
"As your brothers have gone away
one by one have written to each Of
them what am now going to write
to you.
You know that you have never been

Similarly impress uDon you the

Italy's Finest Regiment.

The most imposing regiment In the
Italian army is the Corrazzieri. or
Royal Bodyguard. which for smartness
and physique of man and horse is
the most magnificent corps of the
kind in Europe. No trooper in the
Corrazzieri is less than six feet one
or two, while many are far taller. and
their wonderful feats OF horsemanship
are known throughout Europe. Most
of the men are comedy of feature. as
well as splendid OF limb and the large
majority of them come from the peas

SPECIAL RULES FOR PRUNING
Weak-orowine Varieties May Be
Trimmed Generously-Rieh, Deep
Soils Favor Growth.

(By PROF. u. p. HEDRICK. Geneva
Experiment Station.)
In pruning for wood the following
rules are usually applicable: Weak
growing varieties may always be
pruned generously, strong-growing
kinds lightly; varieties which branch
freely need little pruning, those hav-
ing unbranching limbs should be
pruned more severely; rich. deep soils
favor growth. prune trees in such
soils lightly; in shallow. sandy soils
trees produce short shoots. and the
wood should be closely cut.

Money Worth Of Human Ear.

The value of human ear has been
judicially determined as one-third that
OF an eye. The momentous decision
was made by a New Jersey Judge in
suit for personal damages. A work
man who had lost the hearing of one
ear sued his employers. who contest
cd the case on the ground the New
Jersey compensation law made %
provision for loss of hearing. The
Judge decided. however, that the loss
of hearing in one ear was tantamount
to the loss of the sight Of one eye.

a concrete wall for foundation, and
right here is something of Importance.
The wooden stills are cemented to the
top of the wall by a layer OF fresh
cement mortar. Bolts are embedded
into the wall which reach through the
sill and are threaded to use nuts and
washers, so the sill is forced down
into the layer of fresh mortar, and
the mortar is troweled up against the
sill, both inside and outside.
This is done carefully so as to pre-
vent the wind blowing through the
crack which otherwise would be
formed between the concrete wall and
the wooden sill.
Wind blowing through crack
against an animal Is likely to do more
harm than to let the animal stand out
and take the full force Of the wind. It
Is by using care In regard to the little
things that we save trouble.
Besides the foundation wall there
are i've concrete piers supporting the
inside posts. After the shed is built

E. s. RUSS APPOINTED.
As Superintendent Of Waterworks 2:
 Special Meeting of Aldermen.

The special meeting of the board f aldermen, held Monday evening at the council chamber i'll the town build ing, furnished surprises in the mat ter of appointments, chief among which was the refusal of the repuO- ncan majority to reappOint HeUderso- 5. MoultOn superintendent of water works, and their selection instead of E. s Russ. MT. Russ is at present an inspector in the state highwav de- partment and was formerly in the employ of Civil Engineer Robert E. Mitchell, first selectnan of the town.
 Mir. MOultOn has been connected with the water department since it's incep- tion, and superintendent under both burgess and city government for a continuous space Of 89 years. He has always been an efficient and capable head of the system and had been con- sistenuy reappointed under reDubli- can and democratic control of the board of aldermen. No one thought when the republican majority threw down all of the mayors appointments two weeks ago that they would do otherwise than appoint MT. Moulto. over again when the chance came for them to exercise their option But it had been decreed otherwise.
 Just previous to Monday nights meeting, the republican majority met with the city committee of the party and presumably came to a final de- cision as to the course to be pursued for there was no break in their ranks when it came to voting, as was the 9ase last year.
