From the list of names mentioned
in dispatches: Jean Bonnafous.
chasseur of the first class, Sixth
Battalion, has gained attention by
his bravery since the beginning of
the campaign. On March 6, as he
was taking soup to his squadron, he
saw German a few PAGES from the
trench carrying bombs, blinded
him by.throwing the pail of soup in
his face and then killed him.
The Bulletin DIES Armes (the

what welcome Bonnafous got from
his comrades when he arrived with

Heroic Deeds By French Soldiers.
YOUNG SERGEANT WAS GLAD HE,

YOUNG SERGEANT WAS GLAD HE,
NOT HIS MAJOR, WAS SHOT.
Paris, June 13.-The stories of
bravery which abound are almost
spoiled, or at least lose much of
their effect, by the anonymity which
the military authorities still exact.
No names, no places, no dates can
be given, and so the story has moth
ing to distinguish it from a clever
effort of imagination.
During an attack young SER
geant of the unmounted chasseurs
fell mortally wounded. His major
was beside him when he fell and
placed his arm around him murmur-
ing the first words that came to his
mind, as he could see there was no
hope, Have you much pain? Poor
little fellow.
The young sergeant opened his
eyes, said his officer, and said all in
one breath, What luck it was not
you, major" then he died.
In the courtyard of the high

Oregon Letter.

EDITOR ESSEX COUNTY HERALD
Several things have conspired of
late to direct my thoughts Vermont
ward; among these were visit from
a young man from Derby, viz, DIR.
Carl w. Robbins, who for nearly two
years has been practicing his profess

This young man is making good in this
coast town of Oregon and is form
ing an acquisition to that isolated
section Of the state; but the isola.
ton of Port Oxford will not always
exist; for the Williamette-P Pacific
Railway is destined to go down the
coast to California.
We greatly enjoyed this visit from
the doctor and family; and Saturday
| had the pleasure of calling on a
former Vermont man and his family
who reside on farm near Yamhill,
a few miles southwest of Portland.

Row PropheSied.

1t is evident that there is going to
be something of row in Vermont
next winter between the rival forces
of prohibition and local option. The
Banner is 50 far receiving literature
from three prohibition bureaus and
two local option bureaus. All of it
goes into the waste basket. None of
it is reliable. Partisan literature is
poor stuff. A British character sketch
OF the kaiser nowadays is somewhat
distorted. A German article on Eng
lish chivalry would be equally value.

Joke ON Titcomb.

A pretty good joke is being to!C
among anglers on J. w. Titcomb, fish
and game commissioner. According
to Lyndonville woman, who told it
here Tuesday, Mr.. Titcomb overlook
a boy short distance from Lyndon
vile; stopping his machine he asked
the youth to ride to LyndonviIIe,
having inquired as to the size of the
fish he had in his basket, nearly all
of them being under length. His
intention was to take the boy before
States Attorney N. A. Norton to
brighten him. The boy said that if
he did not mind he would ride in the
rear seat, Mr.. Titcomb drove the
Car to Mr.. Norton's Office and told
his story, whereupon Mr.. Norton
asked the youth to show his. fish,
which he did, but he had no short
ones, for he had thrown all of tSem
away while enjoying the ride at Mr.
Titcomb's invitation. No prosecu
ton followed. 1t was too good 70
