Body OF Girl Half-clad and Bruised in
Pond.

The body of Annie Lorimer, who
has been missing since Thursday even
ing from her home in Hardwick, was
found Sunday afternoon in about three
feet of water at the edge of Lake
Hardwick
The young girl. who was 18 years of
age, attended prayer meeting at the
Baptist church in Hardwick Thursday
evening. taking part in the service.
She was not seen after she left the
church until her body was found Sun
day by Richard Yandow, who was
fitting up his sail boat. He first found
her coat on the edge of the lake and
looking out short distance discovered
her body. The body when found was
clothed only in the girls underclothes,
her dress and shoes being missing.
These articles of her wearing apparel
could not be found There were
bruises on her head, arms and legs,
none of which would have caused her
death. The lungs did not appear to
be filled with water. The girls father
was in Barre and neither the mother
nor any of her eight brothers or sisters
has made inquiries as to her where
abouts until Saturday night when they
spoke to the authorities. States At
torney Norton of ST. Johnsbury was
summoned and DR.. 3. H. Stone of
Burlington, director of the state labor
atory of hygiene was called to perform
an autopsy. There is no known reason
for the girls taking her own life and
no motive for murder as far as can be
found.
Authorities later pronounced this a
case of suicide.

BOYS AND NATURE.
THE BOY SCOUT HIKE

A very good principle adhered to by
the Boy Scouts is that of having mem
bers of the organization write short
articles relative to their trips. Below
we print a short article written by
Rollin McGorty on hike taken by the
Scouts last winter:
"On bright Saturday morning
at about ten O'Clock. the Boy Scouts
started out for a mountain trip
The trip was easily made, since
there has been but little snow the
present winter and we were all
soon at the top of the mountain. AL
though not very plain, were able to find
the tracks on the snow of fox, rabbit.
hedgehog and crow and partridge and
tell them apart. Neil. too, found
some spruce gum on the trees, which
we stopped to dig.
We enjoyed very minute of the
tramp up the mountain side and saw
many things of much interest, a part
ridge in swift flight among others. Our
Scout master provided US with staffs
from some fallen naples and we found
them of assistance over the tougher
places. Coming to place under the
ledge, George and Roland built a fire
and we sat here and ate our lunch
which we mad packed with US. After
our lunch we played g4me. Raw moDd
and myself being gwen d fse-mi lutt
start when the rest Of the feliows
were put on our trail to track Us We
made cir~19 and came back TO the
starting goal before we were caught
Later George and Neil were given the
same start ana 1unL as we might we
were not able to find them and return
ing to the goal were obliged to call to
them to come in We put out our fire
by using snow and sticks buried in
snow and started home. On our way
home We stopped at Mrs. .DilIey's an0
there saw a tame fox, but we had to
keep back, or the fox would not show
himself in his yard. We arrived in
the village between four and five
o'clock, having had a dandy time and
learned lot of interesting things.
A WOODCHUCK STORY
Would it not be nice for some of our
young people, who will not go to
Camp Abnaki." but camp right at
home. to look about and find sources of
amusement. One of our boy natural
lists, Don SiscO, who spends much time
scouting" the woods and fields near
his home for health and pleasure, and

and Jimmy Cawcaw," and other inter-
etsing forest people, shot a woodchuck
the other day, but his heart was sad
when be found little baby by the side
of it's dead mother He at once went
into executive council with his chum,
Clarence Lang, to decide upon it's dis
position. They finally decided upon an
experiment and took the little one to
the home of the latter's cat and after
rubbing it we'll with the kittens to
give it a proper "catty odor." they
placed it in the nest. where old mother
pussycat at once adopted and made il
| feel at home, much to the pleasure OF
the kind-hearted boys. The two boys
are having friendly rivalry as to which
will get the most chuck tails this
season and the result will no doubt be
the tale of another tail added to the
collection. How many boys who are
! interested in woodlore know the scien
tific name of this little member of the
marmot species, arctomys monax?

RURAL JOYS.

nOhAE JO -.
Sing a song of winter time,
Cold and bitter weather;
Meet it with a CHEEKY rime,
All of us together!
Shut the window, light the lamp,
To the hearth draw higher;
Thaw out all the frost and damp
At the open fire.
Toss backlog on the blaze.
Spread the circle wider,
Talk and talk Of other days
Fetch jug of cider.
Crack the nut and crack the jest
Mid the laughter lusty.
Now and then among the rest
One is stale and musty.
Mother. fetch the gingerbread
And the apples mellow;
Even lovers must be fed
Sally's got a fellow!
Sing a song of ice and snow.
Goodness, how we pity
Them that pleasure never know.
People Of the city!

some military tactics and bearing are
laudable. More boys should join this
organization, and more parents should
be interested in it.
The first band concert of the season,
was given in the park Saturday even
ing. There was good attendance, but
enthusiasm and the crowds had to
continually keep on the move. The
band seems to grow better each year
and that is real compliment because
we have had a good band here for
nearly a quarter of century, but the
present organization seems to be even
above those of the past few years.
Through new ruling of the inter-
state commerce commission, it now
becomes Necessary for every person who
checks baggage to any point outside
the state. to declare the value of such
baggage when it is checked. and they
must sign a form slip declaring the
value of said baggage or it will not be
accepted at any depot Teamsters or
other persons, however, are permitted
to sign the form slips when the bag
gage is delivered by them. Misrepre-
sentations are penal offense.
A subscription paper has been in
circulation the past week for the bene-
fit of Miss Austin in her care of paraI-

No large subscriptions have been asked,
but M. J. Reynolds, who has had the

S120 in small subscriptions. none of them
over S5, and many at so cents and a
quarter. 1t shows the right spirit
when every one gives little. better
than when only few subscribe consid-
cradle sums.

A very good ball game might have
been recorded to the credit of the

in the sixth inning. at which time the
score stood a to l in favor of the
academy, but few errors coupled
with long hits seemed to have bad
effect on our boys who finished in bad
form. They showed they can play,
however, and another season will show
some real games.
