KILLED WHEN AUTO GOES OVER
EMBANKMENT.

Rutland, August 9.-Miss Ellen F.
Dewey of Fair Haven, aged So years,
was injured so badly that she died
within a few hours after the acct
dent. w. H. Maynard of Fair Haven, a
chauffeur, received double fracture of
the arm, and four other persons were
badly bruised and shaken up this morn
ing when a seven-passenger Packard
touring car belonging to Mrs. George
A. Vail of Fair Haven plunged down
9O-foot bank to the trolley tracks of the
Rutland Railway, Light & Power com
pany at West Rutland, coming to a stop,
upside down. The woman who was fatally
hurt was the only person who was not
pinned beneath the wreckage. Some of
her ribs punctured her lungs.
The Packard car left the highway near
the home of Harley G. Sheldon when
Chauffeur Maynard attempted to turn
out for another car and bakery wagon.
There were several witnesses to the &C.
cident, and the crew of passing Della:
ware & Hudson railroad freight train
also saw the car take its plunge and
stopped the train to render assistance.
In the automobile with Miss Dewey,
who is niece of the owner were Miss
Gertrude Dewey of Fair Haven and the
Misses Mabel Field, Mary Clark and
Ida Clark, all of East Orange, N. j.
About go feet from where the automo-
bile went down the bank Chauffeur
Maynard attempted to pass the other
machine, which was going in the oppo-
site direction from the Vail car The
VIII cells struck some soft earth and the
machine ran into a strip of turf, fairly
level, between the highway and the
brink of the embankment. Mr.. Maynard
speeded up but his efforts to get back
into the roadway were in vain. The
condition of the road is believed to be
the chief cause of the accident Mr.
Sheldon states that the machine was
not travelling rapidly when it left the
: road.

PosToFFIcE POINT.
There 10 No Mail Station Located on
This Arctic Ice Pack.

Almost due north OF Boring strait Is
a point in the solid north pack that
always extends much farther south
than the pack at the eastward or ut
the westward. This point is naturally
variable, according to the heat Of the
summer and the severity Of the previ-
GUS winter, but 1t does not move more
than few degrees. For fifty or sew
enty-tive years this point of ice has
been spoken Of by the arctic whale
men as "PostOffice point" .
This does not mean that there Is a
postoffice there, but the significance
of the name is because the whaling
fleets usually are divided, some ships
going considerably east Of Postofiice
point and others west Of it. Ships
that have been east of It cruise along
the edge Of the pack and very fire.
quently meet ships that have been to
the west Of it, and the meeting point
for some reason has always been in
the neighborhood of PostotIice point
1t was here therefore that the ships
used to meet, after being separated
for many weeks, and exchange news
and gossip
The solid north pack comes pretty
close to Point Barrow and extends in
an irregular line from Point Barrow
to Postoffice point. Much of this ice
''looks as though it has been there
from the year l." as one of the whal-
tn, &.,s,>
ing in mind the fact that PostotIice
point is always to be found in APP
proXimate1y the same latitude and
longitude, it seems as though there
must of necessity be land back Of ii.
although of course there is a posi-,
bility that there may be a very solid
pack Of ice instead of land, held in
place by comparatively shallow water.

FINE CROPS IN ALBERTA.

w. S. Teeters recently returned
from Alberta, where he has been for
some time looking after his various
farming interests. He says the crops
this season in Alberta were fine wheat
averaging from 40 to so bushels, in
some instances going 60 bushels per
acre. Oats ran from rs to 100 bush
els per acre. No snow had fallen as
yet in Alberta and threshing is in full
swing. Business conditions thru
northwestern Canada are at stand
still and property values, especially in
the cities. show great depreciation.
Mr.. and Mrs. Teeters will leave soon

at Salt Lake City enroute. A trip to
the Hawaiian Islands may be included

THE UBIQUITOUS TURKEY.


Despite His Retiring Ways.
In every corner of the globe almost,
at least where civilization has spread
its epicurean taste, may be found the
domesticated turkey-nOt, however, OF
his own volition. Never would he. in
his wild state. have sought to cross
the stormy seas to find green fields
and pastures new.
He is not so constructed. He is not
bold or adventurous Of disposition. On
the contrary, he Is timid and much
afraid Of things he does not under
stand and when undisturbed is prone
to let we'll enough alone and get along
with his accustomed feeding grounds.
Again, as fier the turkey is not a
pronounced success. He flies ponder
ously. almost painfully and with great
effort and only when very much fright
ened. His fight can be sustained for
only a short distance, but what the
wild turkey lacks as an aviator he
fully makes up as a Splinter.
He can Outrun a race horse, especial
~ in his own native forest. where
underground and bushes seem but to
add to his speed. But he could not
have flown over the ocean even If he
had had that unnatural desire.
He was taken over by the hand Of
man, first to Spain, then to other
Mediterranean countries, to northern
Europe. to the far cast. until now he

A CURIOUS HISTORY.
The Life Of Sir William Cavendish,
With a Comment by Pepys.

The Life of Sir William Cavendish,
With Comment by Pepys.
Sir William Cavendish, known in
English history as the first Duke Of
Newcastle, was commander Of King
Charles rs first royal army in his
contest with Cromwell. Sir Williams
second wife, the Duchess Margaret.
wrote life Of her husband, in which
she depleted him as a most illustrious
prince and in every respect the pink
Of perfection.
The work was supposed to be entire
ly authentic and truthful, for Sir Will
liam himself assisted in its preparation.
It was published early in 1867. and
many complimentary copies were sent
out, including one to the officials Of St.
Johns college, Cambridge university.
In acknowledging its receipt they
wrote:
"Your excellency's book will not only
survive our university, but hold date
even with time itself, and incontinent-
ly this age by reading your book will
lose its barbarity and rudeness, being
made tame by the elegance Of your
style and manner"
But old Samuel Pepys was not quite
20 favorably impressed. In his cele-
brated Diary" under date Of March
Is, 1867. he made this entry: "Staid at
home reading the ridiculous history Of
my Lord Newcastle, wrote by his wife.
which shows her to be mad, conceit-
ed, ridiculous woman and he an asse to
suffer her to write what she writes to
him and of him." -Exchange.

Eating When Tramping.

Experiments have shown that ami
mails which demand a mixed diet will
starve as surely and almost as quickly
when fed on a one sided diet. even
though it be large in bulk, as when de-
prived of food altogether, and the same
thing holds true for men. Hunger Of a
moderate degree is not prejudicial to
strength and vigor, provided it be what
might be termed general hunger. The
thing to be carefully guarded against
on a hard march is the tremendous
hunger for some particular food con-
tent, such as sweet or fat or starch,
which we so often find in the case Of a
carelessly equipped expedition. A we'll
rounded ration is worth two which are
not so. The man who has this prin-
ciple firmly In mind has made long
step toward success as field leader
