Motor-boating on the Connecticut
ought to receive stimulus the com

that there will be no log drive to mon

when the sport is most enjoyable If
it is true, as it appears, that no more
logs will be fioated down the river
there is no good reason why Brattle-
boro people should not make much
greater use of the Connecticut for
recreation purposes than they have in
the past-unless it be the increased
cost of gasoline.

People who are inclined to balk at
the idea Of paying for the privilege Ct
fishing in public waters should bear in
mind that the money which they con
tribute is to be used directly to inn
prove the fishing, and it viii not be
more than a season or two at the out
side before this Improvement is appar-
ent. Trout are not the only fish in
whose increase the fish and game au-
thorities are Interested. They expect
to use a portion of the license funds in
stocking the larger streams and ponds
with other varities, so that the bass,
and perch and pike fisherman will get
equal benefit from the small sum they
contributed each year. Of course a Ii
cense is not necessary to fish in the
Connecticut river since that stream is
considered the property of New Hamp-
shire, but III the vicinity of Brattle-
boro there are portions of it which
have overlooked Vermont soil and no
doubt would be considered within the
jurisdiction of this state. just what
ruling the fish and game department
would make with regard to the need
of license to fish in the overflowed
meadows between here and Vernon is
question which the department it
self has not yet determined, but there
is no doubt that if those whose fishing
haunts are in this territory would take
out licenses for the sake Of helping
along a good cause if for no other rea-

Milliard's Garden.

Daddy, may | have garden
this summer said Willard Davis
one bright spring morning. Willard
had never had a garden of his own,
but he had helped Harry Phillips
with his garden last summer, and
he wanted to see what he could
do for himself.
We'll, ! reckon you can, son, y
said his father. But if you do
have a garden you must take care
of it and keep the weeds out. Will
you water it and hoe the soil?"
you see. gardening means hard work
for little boy"
Yes, you just see if | don't, :"
cried Willard. TN start tomorrow
to dig and plant the seeds.
Mr. Davis thought Willard was
not strong enough to spade the
ground, so he had "a man come and
turn over quite a large plot for
Williard's garden.
With his mothers help Willard
had raised some lovely flowers in
pots in the house; these he sold
at Easter time and in that way
made enough money to buy the
seeds and plants fer his garden.
So the vely next day he began to
prepare the ground to plant the
seeds.
He planted radish and lettuce
seeds in straight rows and marked
them carefully so that he would
know what they were when they
came up.
lie planted onions and beets,
peas and parsley, too, and pansy
seed, for he was going to raise
flowers as we'll as vegetables.
Pretty soon the little plants push
ed their heads through the soil.
Willard was so excited and happy
when he saw, the first little green
shoots peeping through that he
DUST had to tell his discovery.
He ran in the house to his
mother ard just made her go out
and see them.
After that it was wonderful how
fast they grew. Willard hoed be-
tween the rows of little plants and

When Robbie Ran Away

Boobies mother told his sister
Polly to keep watch of the little
boy but Polly was busy and did not
see him leave the steps where he
had been sitting.
Down the street he made his way
until he came where an iron fence
bordered the sidewalk. Through the
lattice work off which the fence
was made Bobbie could see a slop-
ing lawn and a little lake where
some swans We're swimming
1t Hooked easy enough to get
through the fence and Bobbie want
ed to see the swans, but when he
had pushed his head through the
largest hole of the iron latticework
he could get no farther
He tried his best to wriggle his
tat shoulders through but he could
not do 1t.

The Where, H w, and Why of
Things.
Some boys they never seem to know
Where things are found or how
they grow;
There's lots they read about in
books
That they can't tell you how it look
Why there's a boy next door to me
Who is as dumb as he can be,
Except at 'rithmetic and such,
And then | don't know half as much
But names of birds and bugs and
And kinds of flowers, and of trees,
When grapes are ripe, when wal
nuts fall,
And such things he can't tell at all.
Where worms are found, where
fishes hide,
He couldn't tell you if he tried;
Nor when the robins come about,
On when the buttercups peep out.
The place to look for moss or fern,
And things boy can't help but
learn,
He krows 10 more of than Il cat;
l'm glad | amt so dumb as that.

Naming The Baby

She rarsacked every novel,
And the dictionary, too,
But nothing ever printed
For her baby's name would do;
She hunted expectations
From the pi esent and the past,
And this is what she named him
When they christered him at last:
Julian Harold Egbert
Ulysses Victor Paul
Algernon Marcus Cyrus
Sylvester George McFall.
But after all the trouble
She'd taken for his sake,
HIS father called him Fatty
And his sohco mates called him

Then he tried to pull his head
out but he was caught in trap for
he could not get either way.
When he found he could not get
out he became frightened and be-
gan to scream.
Polly heard him and came run

So did other persons from all sides.
Some pulled at Bobby and some pull

they pulled the harder Bobby
cried, and his head would not
come out.

and the passengers got off and
came over to the fence. A policeman
came hurrying to the scene and
evei yone began to tell everyone else
what to do, but no once could pull
Bobbie out. His screams became
terrifying.
Suddenly Polly ran up the street
toward home. In a few minutes she
came flying back with a bowl in
her hand
I can do it, she cried. Let me
try
/ Everyone was willing to let her
try. With quick movements she
rubbed something from the bowl
all over Boobies neck and the back
of his head, and also on the lat
ticework that held him
She talked to him soothingly an
his screams and struggles ceased
Then having taken away his feal
she gently worked with him until
She had slipped his head through
and he was free.
We'll done,' said the policeman
What kind of magic do you have
in that bowl?"
1t is grease said Polly. I
saw mother use it once to get a
tight ring off, and 1 thought if it
was good for fingers it would be
good for Boobies head
SO it was, said the policeman.
but your cool head did more even
than the grease.
When Polly led Bobby home
and told her story, her mother
said: You did wrong not to watch
Bobby, as l told you, but 1 am
proud that you acted so sensibly
and quickly.

King DIusfer

King Buster is a tyrant,
His voice is loud and bold,
Ill S closk sweeps out behind him,
His breath is bitter cold.
He bends the tire and shakes
them,
Disturbs the mighty sea,
And everybody fears him,
And strives his wrath to flee.
King Buster rose one morning,
His temper all awry,
Because the sun was smiling
Above him in the sky.
He swept the clouds together
To hide the beaming sun
And tore away in fury,
His mad days work begun.
He ragged across the city,
He howled across the plain,
He dashed the waves to pillows,
And ordered out the rain.
He drove the ships before him,
And hurled them as in play,
But the sun smiled out in setting
He'd stormed his breath away.

SUCCESS OF L New REMEDY FOR
BAcKAGHE, KIDNEYS, RHEUMATISM.

Dear Mr.. Editor suffered for years
with backache. Last March tried
vAnuric" and have used this new kid
ney medicine recently discovered by
DIR. Pierce, and it was wonderful the
way it eased the pain and gave me
relief in such short time. l have
tried several medicines, but "Anuric"
is the only one that gave satisfaction.
/ feel it my duty to recommend
"Anuric Tablets to any one who suffers
as l did.
signed) Mrs. MARGARET E. sNIDER.
NOTE: Folks in town and adjoining
counties are delighted with the results
they have obtained by using "ANURIC,"
the newest discovery of DR.. Pierce, who
is head of the INvALIDs' HOTEL and
SURGICAL INSTITUTE, in Buffalo, N. Y.
Those who started the day with back
ache, stiff legs, arms and muscles, and
an aching head (worn out before the
day began because they were in and out
of bed half a dozen times at night) are
approaching the perfect rest, comfort
and new strength they obtained from
DR.. Pierce's Anuric Tablets. To prove
that this is a certain uric acid solvent
and conquers headache, kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism. Ii
you've never used the "Anuric," cut
this out and send ten cents to Doctor
Pierce for large sample package. This
will prove to you that "Anuric" is
thirty seven times more active than
lithia in eliminating uric acid-and the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor
rector. III you are sufferer, go to your
best druggist and ask for 50-cent box
of "Anuric." You run no risk for DIR.
Pierce's good name stands behind this
wonderful new discovery as it has for
the past half century for his Golden
Medical Discovery" general tonic
made from roots with pure glycerine
which makes the blood pure, his VIA
vorite Prescription" for weak women
and vPleasant Pellets" for liver ills.
