FARMERS POST LAND
Attempt to Stop Deer Hunting on
Large Area.

Id SN TTCds
Brattleboro, Nov. 14.-Declaring
that out-of-town hunters have abused
every privilege possible for years, II
owners of contiguous farm lands in
the towns OF Guilford and Vernon
have posted their property and intend
to prosecute any hunters found upon
them.
One OF the men who has posted his
farm says that he saw three deer kill
ed on his farm by nonresidents OF the
town in one day last year and that he
drew the deer in with his team and
was not rewarded even with word
of thanks. Another farmer who had
been awaiting an opportunity to trap
some coons that had been feeding up
on his hoed crops throughout the sea-
son found that company of hunters
had cut down two trees and taken five
coons in one night.
Acting upon the theory that every
man is master of his own domain and
that he is entitled to at least one of
the deer his crops feed during the
year these farmers have combined
and posted $500 acres of hunting
ground and it is claimed that in an
other year practically all of the land
in the towns will have been posted

A SMOKE AND A TRAGEDY.
The Reason General Bate Never Again
Lighted a Cigar.

Lighted Cigar.
General William Il. Bate of Tennes-
see after distinguished service in be-
half of the south was governor and
then United States senator. His BRAY
cry in battle was attested by dozen
wounds, and in a single engagement
three horses were shot from under
him.
ut was a habit of the old warrior"
said man who knew him well, "to
continually carry an unlighted cigar in
his mouth, but few of those who
noticed il ever knew the reason of his
failure to smoke the weed"
At the battle OF Shiloh he and a
brother were standing side by side
when the brother asked General Bate
for light, as he had cigar, but no
match. The general lit n match and
handed it to his kinsman, who had
scarcely applied ,it to the tobacco ere a
cannon ball CAME hurtllng through the
air and severed the smokers head
from his body
The terrible tragedy OF Shiloh's
bloody field was the reason why in all
the years that followed the surviving
brother was never known to lighr a
cigar.-EXchange.

QUARANTINE LIFTED
Two Weeks Restriction Removed BY
State Board.

DR.. C. F. Dalton, secretary of the
state board of health, has notified all
health officers that the quarantine pc
riod of two weeks imposed on children
who came to Vermont from New York
has been removed, except in the cases
of children who have been living in
areas that still are infected or who
have been exposed to infantile paraly-
sis. Since the epidemic began to ap-
proach its height in New York more
than four months ago every child com
ing into Vermont from the Empire
state has been required to remain in
quarantine for fortnight and to have
its nose irrigated with solution rec
ommended by specialists. The order
to relax the quarantine measure came
when health authorities were assured
that the epidemic had spent its force
for this year.

DOUBLED THEIR TROUBLE.
Vet Joel's Neighbors Thought They
Had Made Good Bargain.

Had Made Good Bargain.
The shiftless owner Of worthless
old horse, Joel Turner, had been in the
habit OF feeding the animal from the
cribs of his more enterprising neigh
bors until the patience Of his victims
was completely exhausted. They had
caught him in the act of helping him
self to corn a number OF times, and so
there was plenty of evidence to con-
vict him, but on account Of his family
and his vindictive disposition no one
wanted to prosecute him.
One day. when Joel's neighbors were
discussing the situation. some one sug
gested that it would be an act of
mercy-which would also solve their
problem-if they bought the old horse
and put it out Of its misery.
This suggestion the conference
adopted. They subscribed a purse OF
$40 and sent committee of one to buy
the horse.
Here the plan was threatened with
failure The committee reported that
Joel did not want to sell
After rev days Jesse Ninneu.
who thought himself something Of a
diplomat, undertook to negotiate the
sale and to his surprise found Joel not
only willing but anxious to sell the
horse.
THAT" said Jesse in congratula-
tory tone, as he handed over the $40,
was a good deal for you. You'll get
lots more good out of the $40 than you
would out of the old horse

physical examination. The purpose
of examination are:
Ito provide not only knowledge
of actual conditions but also some

This examination will tell the mem
bers whether they are under or over
weight according to their age and
height, which is vital significance
to health and development.
The most authoritative material
with regard to height and weight in
relation to health and symmetrical
growth is that gathered by life insur-
ance companies, using DR.. Shepard s
table based on 74,162 premium hold

In general the lowest death rate is
found in the class s per cent below
standard weight Records of death
show that the probability of dying at
the age of 80 is .00S21. Because of
the medical selection the death rates
of those insured are usually lowered.
In the Actuary Society tables the
death rate at the age of 81 shows that
S2S out of 100000 are found to die.

London, Nov 15.-Despite the heavy
defeat at the hands of the British on
the Ancre the German were able to-
day to take the offensive in great
strength against the French on both
sides of the Somme. Heavy attacks
preceded by heavy bombardments sue
ceeded at some points but in the main
the French lines held firm.
At the close of the attacks, the
French say, German troops clung to
some of the French advanced posi-
tions on the edge of the st. Pierre
Vaast wood and other German troops
had forced their way back into the
outskirts OF Pressoire, which the Ger
mans lost a week ago.
