An Athletic INNOVATION.

The " Pathfnders Of Johnson high

novelties attached. On Saturday, Oct.
,, Stow high school is to meet John

shores of this wild mountain lake. The
meet viii consist of contests in camp
pitching, fire building, eross-country

johnson viii take team of about
twenty men, and viii spend several
days in the mountains in preparation.
Officers of the Green Mountain club

entertainmcnt will be provided them at
the two school camps.
This is pioneer step on the part
of these two schools to adapt the nat
ural advantages Of the mountains Of
Vermont to the athletics of her secOn-
larry schools. We believe that we have
followed too blindly the schools of
other communities in the matter of
athletics, and that we have missed a
great opportunity for adapting sports
Ct our own that are better and far
moro distinctive. The parties are to be
well equipped with photographers and
If is expected that pictures of this I'M

to "boost the mountains, all lovers

The story is told of two Trenton men
who hired horse and trap for little
outing not long ago. Upon reaching
their destination, the horse was unhar-
messed and permitted peacefully to Craze
while the men fishcd for an hour or two.
When they were ready to 90 home a
difficulty at once presented itself, in
asmuch as neither of the Trentonians
knew how to reharness the horse. Every
effort in this direction met with dire
failure, and the worst problem was prop
crly to adjust the bit. The horse him
self seemed to resent the idea Of going
into harness again.

TWO GIRLS DRAGGED BY AUTO.
When Struck at Dangerous Corner in
Waterbury.

Waterbury, Sept. 3.--At about $50
last evening what looked at first like
a serious accident occurred at the cor
ner of Main and Stowe streets when
Ford car, owned and driven by Elmer
Barrows of Moscow, knocked down and
dragged two young ladies, Misses Beu-
lah Edwards and Marjorie Cullen. The
young ladies were crossing the street
on the walk about "a feet from the cor
ner. Mr.. Brown was coming from the
south up Main street and turned to
take the road to Stowe.
The young ladies were struck and
dragged about "a feet. How they escaped
serious injuries seems wonderful. One
of the witnesses of the accident was Ed
ward Cullen, father of Miss Marjorie,
who says he ordered the driver to stop.
Although badly bruised and lsmcd, Miss
Cullen said she was not hurt and told
the people, who soon gathered, to look
after Miss Edwards. The latter was
thought to be killed. She was rushed
at first to the Office of DR.. S. L. Goodrich,
which was nearest and then taken TO the
office of Dr. f. +. Steele. ir. Her in
luries seemed to be confined TO her back,
how serious could not be determined
then. DIR. Steele took the young lady
to her home in his car. Miss Cullen
waited at the store OF Brisbin & Bris-
bin for DR.. Goodrich to dress minor
bruises.
Both young ladies had their clothes
torn and ground in the dirt. Their
nerves were much shocked and they said
they experienced all the sensations of
icing run over. Mr. Barrows remained
Iround for a time but finally left for
iis home
The corner is bad place. Only few
weeks ago car ran into a team throw
ng out the occupants and demolishing
he buggy. Excitement ran high last
vening Both the young ladies are very
'opular in town.
