long way down. Come along, gentle
men,"
They hurried out to the automobile
and started of for the docks. The
latter part of their journey was &C
complished under difficulties, for the
street was packed with drays and
heavy vehicles. They reached dock
number twenty-eight at last, how
ever, and hurried through the shed
on TO the wharf. There were no signs
Of a steamer there.
Where's the Durham?" Quest
asked Z Of the carriers, who was Just
getting his team together.
The man pointed out to the middle
of river, where a small steamer was
lying.

Quest led the way quickly to the
edge Of the wharf. There was q

were just making her fast for the
night.

who seemed to be the captain.
They clambered down the iron lad

They swung around and commenced

from higher up the river came the
screech of steamers beginning to
move on their outward way.

tain assured them.
They were within a hundred yards
of the Durham when Quest gave a lit
tie exclamation. From the other side
of the steamer another tug shot out
away, turning back towards New
York. Huddled up in the stern, half
concealed in a tarpaulin, was a man
in a plain black suit. Quest, with a
shout, recognized the mar at
the helm from his long, brown beard.

The Greek Language

In ancient times. before the con-
quest of Alexander the Great, there
were many differences In the dialects
spoken In different parts Of Greece.
About $50 b. G. a common dialect,
sometimes called Hellenistic Greek,
arose. This is the Greek Of the New
Testament BY 800 A. d. the differ,
ences between the spoken and written
language had become so great that the
literary language was supplanted by
the spoken. From this time the Ian
guage has been further changed In
grammar, infection and by the intro
duction OF loan words from other lam
guages, notably from the Italian and
Turkish. Since the Greek kingdom
was established in 1880 there has been
a movement toward the ancient idiom.
This has resulted again In gap be-
tween spoken and written Greek. The.
new movement has made such prog
ress. however. that 1t is not too much
TO say that modern newspaper would
be now ineligible TO Plato.

BRUIN ON ROLLER SKATES.
A Remarkable Bear Will Delight the
Crowds at the Vermont State Fair.

Much is appearing in the state press
of late regarding the bears that have
been captured within the borders and to
the average reader it would appear that
the commonwealth is being overrun by
bruin. Not satisfied with the number
of bears reported to have been captured
and the number supposed to be at large,
the Vermont State Fair commission has
entered into the importing of bears and
will bring one to the state and exhibit
him at the eighth annual state fair at
White River Junction, Sept IA, Is, 10
and IL.
This is no ordinary bear and while he
may have had birth in Vermont he was
captured outside the state. In infancy
he had playmate who almost daily
skated on roller skates on the pave
ments OF the east side of New York
City This little boy conceived the idea
of teaching him how to skate and he
was successful. Bruin took to skates
with almost the same alacrity that
duck takes to water A Snowman one
day saw the bear skating on the walk
and he purchased the animal. This is
how the state fair management was sue
cessful in securing this attraction.
1t is said that this bear is a wonder
full performer and on the elevated stage
in front of the grand stand he will show
his eleverness at the state fair exhibit
tion.

Glaciers of Nebraska.

Many of the physical features Of
eastern Nebraska were produced by
sheets Of ice that invaded the region
during and after the earlier stages Of
the great ice age. At the opening Of
the glacial epoch the great Keewatin
glacier spread southwark and covered
large parts of the Dakotas, Minnesota
and Iowa and extended thence into
eastern Nebraska, where 1t was proba-
bly, several hundred feet thick. This
FIRST stage of glaciation was brought
to close by the melting Of the fee in
warmer interglacial time or stage
the Aftonian. A remarkable assem-.
blage OF animals invaded the region
after the ice had disappeared. and the
bones and teeth OF many Of these ami
mails have been found In the Aftonian
deposits of western Iowa. The late
Professor Samuel Calvin identified the
remains OF horses, camels, stays, ele-
plants, mastodons. mammoths and
sloths.

Naminn n Vest Sire.

A curious item in the trade slang OF
hosiers is the term "pope's size" ap-
piled 10 vests. They classify the scale
OF chest measurements for these as:
Small mems. 81 inches; slender mems.
"a inches; mems. 80 inches; pope's. 80
inches: out size. AZ inches.
The origin of this term. which has
been current for nearly century. was
discussed some years ago in Notes
and Queries. when II was stated on
good authority that II had no connec-
ton with the SUCCESSORS OF 81. Peter.
IL appears that the head OF an old
hrm Of west end hosiers. Messrs.
Pope a Plante. ordered this size to be
made specially for his own personal
use. and the manufacturer called Il
after him for want OF a better name
London Taller.

DENIES RESPONSIBILITY.
Central Vermont Railway Makes De-
Tense in $4,000 Suit.

| The Central Vermont Railway com
pany raises an interesting point in con
nection with the action brought against
the company by II. A. Staten OF Yer
mont to recover damages Of 10000 fol
| injuries received through being shot II
the arm and thigh by the substitute sta
ton agent in Vernon, Hugh Collins, in
1918.
Section 4506 Of the public statutes
under which the suit is brought, reads
as follows:
IF railroad corporation employs or
retains in it's service a conductor, engi-
neer, brakeman, switchman, semaphore
or other signalman, train dispatcher, tel
egraph operator who receives train or
ders, motorman, or operator of an cleo
trio car. who uses intoxicating liquors
as beverage, such fact being known to
the president, superintendent or any OF
the directors of such road, such corpora
ton shall be fined not more than $4,000
nor less than 5000, and shall also be
liable for the damages which person
sustains by the employment or retention
of such employee"
Mr.. Staten testified against Collins in
prosecution for intoxication the day
before he was shot. 1t is understood that
no claim is made that the company did
not know that Collins used liquor. 1t
is understood also that the company in
terprets the law to mean that in order
to render the company liable for personal
damage such damages must be the result
OF some act or acts of an employee in his
as an employee; in other words,
that the damages must result from some
service in behalf of the railroad, rendered
inefficient by the use of liquor, and that
the railroad cannot be held responsible
for damages caused by an employee in
his private capacity, outside of his rail.

NEW CIRCLE FORMED.
Col. Francis " Randall, No. 8, Ladies of
G. A. r. at East Braintree.

Colonel Francis V. Randall circle, No,
s, Ladies, of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, was organized and instituted at
East Braintree, Aug. 0, by Mrs. Hannah
L. B. Flagg, department patriotic in
structor of the Ladies of the G. A. r.,
with IL active members and six honorary
members.
The following officers were elected:
President, Mrs. Julia Nj. Perham; $. V.
p, Mrs. Betsey Dame; j. V. p, Miss
Lois NJ. hutchinson; chaplain, Mrs. Ada
L. Blanchard; treasurer, Mrs. Josephine
L. Reyes conduetress, Mrs. Ella Wills;
guard, Miss d. Anna Howard; appoin-
tive officers secretary, Mrs, Hattie L..
Bowman; assistant guard, Mrs. Gertrude
Thayer; patriotic instructor, Mrs. Louise
T.. Bass; pianist, Miss Bertha H. Wheel
er.
This is the first patriotic organiza-
ton to be formed in the town of Brain
tree. The order is not very well known
in this part of the state. 1t is an indie
pendent organization and cannot become
an auxiliary to any other order. Its
membership is restricted TO mothers, who
are honored members, wives, sisters,
daughters and granddaughters and blood
kin nieces of honorably discharged sol
diers and sailors of the Civil war. Vet
Grams, sons of veterans and grandsons
are admitted to this as honorary mem
bers, paying no fees or dues. They have
no vote, but may take part in the exer-
cises of the circle, thus making a meet
ing place for the G. A. r., where posts
are no longer able to keep up an organi.
zation.
The interest that has been manifested
in forming Col. +. V. Randall circle
speaks well for the prosperity OF this
circle.
The order of the Ladies of the Grand
Army of the Republic was not a grown
mp child from the start, but like much
of natures best handiwork IL was
evolved-unfolding graduaIly-gaining
strength with each evolution, and prov
ing by its survival its fitness TO be. The
progression has been constant and de-
cisive. IL now has a department in 80
states, a membership OF over 10000, with |
" record for distinctive and acceptable 1
work, with q patriotism unquestioned |
ind with an influence which, IL rightly |
directed, may become a power in our
nation.
Col. Francis V. Randall was born in 1
