Arrest Deer in Saloon.

A wild deer was actually arrested
in Stamford, Conn. and for disorderly
conduct at that Even worse for the
deer's reputation, it was taken in a
saloon.
There is nothing in the way of a
nature or other fake about this story.
Two deer were gambling in a park
when the early morning traffic fright
ened them. One went back to the
woods. The other sped through the
streets until it espied the swinging
door of a saloon on which a large
glass of beer was painted.
The deer dashed into the saloon

department was called and detective
sergeant took the deer in the jag
wagon to woods on the edge of the
city and liberated 1t.

Movies Aid Physicians,

The movies have invaded even the
sacred field of science. The latest up
to-the-minute discovery is the peculiar
value of the movies in diagnosis 1t
was made several weeks ago by osteo-
pathic physicians and will be demon
strated first at the worlds congress of
osteopathic physicians, in Portland,
Ore, the first week in August
At a meeting of osteopathic physi-
clans of the district, held at the home
of DR.. Clara U. Little, DR.. Chester w.
Swope, member of the board of trus-
tees of the national association, ex-
planned how DR.. J. Ivan Dufur, profess
sor of nervous diseases of the Phila-
delphia College of Osteopathy, had be-
come the latest hero of the movies
For more than four hours Doctor Du,
fur and the movie men were locked in
a room with more than forty insane
epileptics, waiting to snap just the
right kind of fits. They also had many
narrowing experiences.
Moving pictures, it is predicted, will
revolutionize the teaching of disease
diagnosis, as these subjects can in nc
other way be so wildly presented tc
the student.

Skeleton Twenty Centuries Old.

An interesting discovery was made
on the farm of Keir. Belhelvie, Scot
land. In the course of cultivation, in
a field near by clump of trees known
as the Haircairn. an ancient grave
was discovered containing a perfect
human skeleton and three urns. One
of the urns was practically whole, but
the other two were broken. The
grave, which was about four feet long
by two and one-fourth in width and
depth, was composed of stout IN
dressed slab stones. The find was ex-
amined by DR.. Alexander Low, a pro-
fessor Of Aberdeen university, who
expressed the opinion that the remains
were about 1000 years old Nothing
was found in the urns. Permission
is being asked to remove the relics
to the university museum.

DOG MOURNS FOR WELDING
Late Tennis PIayer's Sammy Is Pet
of British Soldiers on Fir
ing Line.

To the list of strange pets kept by
the British soldiers in the trenches
must now be added the favorite dog,
Sammy, of A. F. WildiEg, the tennis
player. Vikings friends in London
knew the little Irish terrier well, for
1t was the inseparabie companion of
the great tennis player.
Wilding, it seems, was killed In his
dugout, buried alive by Jack John
son. which pitched into the trench
in which he was on duty. The Lon
don correspondent of the Nottingham
Guardian says that a private letter
from the front mentions that Sammy
went about the trenches whining for
Wilding long after the worst was
known. The dog will be well looked
after, for the soldiers love these pets
of the trenches.
Only a few days ago soldiers OF
the Second Rife Brigade rescued a
little canary from a deserted house
which had been almost shelled to
atoms. On its cage was a ticket:
please look after the little bird" So
the men carried il off with them to
their trenches and take no end of
trouble to see that it gets groundsel
and the seed its likes. .s

REASON FOR HIS DRAGGING
British Soldier Felt He Had to Lie
About His Wonderful Deeds
in the Field.

An officer was surprised one dav
when searching the letters of his de.
tachment to read in on,- of them
passage that was something like this:
I'VE have just got out of shell-fire
for the first time for two months. 1t
has been a hard time. The Germans
were determined to take our field bak-
cry, but, by gee! we would not let
them. We killed them in thousands %
This was e letter from ono of the
bakers to his wife. None of the de-
tachment had been a mile from the
base, and they had never seen a Ger
man, except as prisoner. My friend
knew the writer well, and could not
help (although it was none of his bust
ness) asking him why he told such
terrible lies to his poor wife. The sol
der said:
It's quite true what you say, but
it's like this, sir. When my wife and
the wives of the other men in the
place where l live are talking it all
over in the morning l couldn't think
to let her have nothing to say and the
others all Dragging about what their
men had done with the Germans

The general public probably little
realizes the change that is taking
place in financial and economic CON
ditions of the United States as a re-
suit of the European war. Because
of the heavy selling by Europe of
American securities interest and divi-
dend payments to European holders of
American stocks and bonds will be
greatly reduced. Total interest and
dividend disbursements in the United
States to be made in August are es-
timated at $94, 100000 and much
smaller percentage of this amount than
ordinarily would be the case will go
abroad Another economic advantage
to the country is the saving of per-
haps from $3OO,OOO,000 to $5o0,ooO,-
600 by Americans not going to Eu-
rope on pleasure trips this summer

Announcement is made that the
American Red Cross nurses and physi-
clans must be withdrawn from the Eu-
ropean battlefields by Oct. l because
of lack of funds. The $1,560,0OO fund
already contributed will have been ex
pended by that time. The Red Cross
organization itself has been paying all
administrative expenses. It is further
stated that the two units in Belgium
can perhaps be continued, and of
course, the Serbian sanitary commits,
sion is supported by special contribu-
ton. The Red Cross is a very praise
worthy institution, but in this Euro
pean war its leaders have not shown
the broad minded spirit they ought to
go with their noble work They have
not been cordial to the Belgian relief
commission, claiming that all the money
and supplies should have passed through
Red Cross hands. The Belgian relief
work has been a distinct organization
with definite work and it has been
admirably handled. The Red Cross PEG
pie should have welcomed it as a friend
and ally and worked Loyalty with it
This friction has cost the Red Gross
friends and prestige The broad field
of opportunity is still open and the
work of relief through American
agencies on the European battlefields
should be kept up.

Protecting the Cattle.
Barre Times

1t seems certain that some strange
disease is affecting Vermont cattle and
that the appearance of the disease is
not confined to any single section in.
asmuch as cattle have died in Berk-
SHIRE III the extreme northern part of
the state, and in Townshend in the ex-
IRENE southern part. Possibly too.
there are scattered cases which have
been noted in other sections of the
state but which were not considered
extraordinary enough to attract spe-
cial attention. The outbreak of the
disease and the obscurity of its cause
makes very difficult problem for the
state cattle department to handle; and
Commissioner T. l.. Davis will no
doubt feel himself justified in calling
upon the services of other experts in
the handling of cattle in order to de-
termine the nature of the disease
whether it is some form of poison and
whether further spread of the epidem
ic can be prevented. In Berkshire the
disease has attacked particularly val
liable Holstein cattle and already has
resulted in heavy financial loss. Yer
mont S cattle interests will demand
that some unusual steps be taken tC
stamp out the epidemic ere it gain,

VAGUE AS TO CAUSES OF WAR
Anecdotes Would Seem to Reveal
Confusion of the Average
irish Mind.

In many districts of Ireland there
are practically no books and almost
nobody reads newspapers. For months
there were people in Ireland who
thought England was fighting Cd the
same side as Germany.
Here is an illustration of popular
ignorance of which l have personal
knowledge.
A group of villagers were in a black
smith shop, discussing the news. FL
nally one asked: "And how did this
bloody war begin?"
The blacksmith was the scholar of
the gathering. "You see,' said he, cit
was like this. The king of the Servi-
tudes took woman of the Morgans
to wife, and so the Servitudes killed
them both and that is the way the
thing began
Which, after all, is much after the
manner of Herodotus.
Still combining myself to incidents
that | know to be true / will add
another anecdote to illustrate the way
the Irish mind takes hold of an inter.
national situation. A man was defend
ing himself for having fought with
the British troops against the Beers
He explained that he started to join
the Beers, but that he could not get
through the lines, so he joined the
British.

AS a choice bit of Canadian sar-
easm read the following from the
Daily Ontario, published in Belleville:
If any more American citizens are
murdered by German submarine com
manders, President Wilson will as
sumo that the murders are 'deliber-
ately unfriendly' acts, the inference
being that German submarine com
manders who have already murdered
American citizens on the high seas
have been moved thereto by the mis-
taken idea that they were performing
an act of friendship towards the said
American citizens.''

Some people think there is good
deal of regulation in this country, but
the system is carried much further in
the old world. The government Of
Austria has taken possession of the
vegetable crop, which will be sold UNI
der state direction. This movement is
taken to prevent speculation and to
keep down exorbitant prices. Amerl-
cans are not anxious for the adoption
of European methods, but they some
times feel that they would like to see a
regulation of this kind applied to the
meat traffic in the United States.

Better Farming and Business.
Manchester, n. H., Union.)


We have before us as we write these
lines circular issued by the 'sagri-
cultural commissioner of the Chicago
and Rock Island railroad. It begins
with these words:
Every business man should spend
time as well as money to develop bet
ter farming in his territory
If the business interests of New
Hampshire would only take that mess
sage to heart and really act upon that
principle, they would contribute more
to the growth and prosperity of the
commonwealth in the next ten years
than has come to the state from in
dustrial development in the last 90
years.
Should you think this an extreme
statement then ponder these reasons
which western railroad finds sufIi-
GENTLY sound to give them wide circu-
lation:
l. When farming prospers, all other
lines of business prosper.
2. When farming is Improbable, all
business is cramped
3. Increase the profits of farming
and bank deposits and loans increase.
4. Increase the profits of farming
and the sales and profits of every other
line of business are increased.
5. There is not a single county il
the United States where the farmer.
are making one-half what they could
and should make.
6. The greatest efficiency in farming
is always found where business mer
cooperate with the farmers.
There is food here for serious thought
| by the business men of New Hamp
shire. What city or town in New
| Hampshire but would be immensely
strengthened if it were surrounded by
prosperous and growing rural com
munity? Certainly this is true of the
state s metropolis, Manchester, and j
is equally true down to the smalIes
