Herman Martin. r. y. Pernette ana

Herman Martin. r. y. Pernette and
Elbridge Jones made a trip to vas
salboro Monday morning, after rabbits
and confined the greater part of their
attention 10 the vicinity of Taber hill.
where it is said that the Dummies are
plenty They did not prove SO, how
ever. on the above occasion and the
boys only bagged four during the DAY.
II is also said that Jones got cold
feet" and sought a farmhouse where
beside a comfortable fire he waited for
the other boys. to finish their hunt
ing. 1t would seem however that he
made a mistake in so doing for III
climbing on top of brush heap to
see if there were any rabbits under
it. Martin "broke through" and one
foot went down plump on top OF
coon which was hiding under the
brush. Herman says that the coon
groWled but that he was not scared
and as the dogs came up at about
that time there was something doing
right away. The coon made game
fight against three dogs and left his
marks on two of them, but the ODDS
were agin him and he came home IN
Martins gamebag. The coon is said
to have weighed IS pounds.

GERMAN ATTACKS
ON FRENCH FRONTS
WITHOUT GAIN

Paris, Feb. 15.-A semi-offical COMMUNE
cation issued here affirms that the fire.
quent German attacks on the French
front during the last few days, while in
tended to give the impression of great
activity, are in reality only local actions
without consequence and without gain
for the attackers. After citing instances
to substantiate this statement the COM
munication says:
THE same is true of the attacks east
Of the Tahure to Sonme-py line. We
could in our turn undertake similar oper-
atoms and strive for useless successes,
but We take good care to refrain from
doing so because the gains to be obtain
ed are inconsequential when compared
with the sacrifices involved and because
these attempts invariably result in re-
ducing the value Of the attacking tro1ps."
