Fable OF Two Maidens.

Once there We're two maidens who
sought 10 catch nice young man, and
II was a false start in the eyes OF the
undiscerning. for the one was exceed
ingly fair TO look upon aud dressed
stylishly, while the other was plain of
countenance.
The pretty girl smiled sweetly on the
nice young man and talked TO him till
she dazzled him with her beauty and
charmed him with her wit, The plain
one gazed wonderingly at him and
made him talk TO her of divers things,
while she listened, cntranced at his
wisdom and learning.
He took the pretty girl out riding, TO
the theatcr and bought her chocolates
and flowers. and all the knowing ones
said she had struck winner, when
one day he married the plain girl and
took her on the continent for their
honeymoon.
The pretty girl had made him very
much pleased with her. but the plain
girl had gone one better and made him
very much more pleased with himself.

FATHER TRIED TO.
CARRY OFF HIS
SMALL SON
Three Year Old Boy Had Been
With Mother
Couple Had Separated and Father
Had the Right to Sse Child At
Any Time.

Middlebury, July 23.-Considerable
when Joseph p Mccormack of New
York. attempted to get possession of
his three-year-old son, who, with his
mother and grandfather Edward
IIincks, are living on Seminary street
The father made wild dash with the
child in his arms to an automobile,
which was standing in front of the
residence, but was detained from kid
mapping the youngster by Officer
George Moore.
The case Is well known one in
Vermont, the proceedings being the re
suit of trial for separate maintain
ance last December in Addison County
court. The petition was dismissed by
Judge Leighton p. Clack on the
grounds that the woman had no good
reasons for not living with her hus-
band, and the man was granted per-
mission to see his son at any reasona-
BILE time. The woman refuses to live
with her husband owing to religious
principles
Mr.. Mccormack, accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark of Tarrytown, N.
Y, drove up to the home OF Edward
Hincks this afternoon and Mr.. Nc
Cormack asked to see his child. His
| request was at first refused but after
Mrs. Mccormack had secured the ser
vices of Office Moore the child was
| brought out to its father by an aunt.
After a few minutes the child start

seized by Mr.. Mccormack and carried
! to the waiting auto in front of the
| house but get away was prevented
| by Officer Moore. There was much
excitement, relatives screaming and
the child crying at the top Of its
| voice.
The youngster was finally returned
| to the house and the mother and faith
er got into the car and drove to the
house of Attorney !. II. Lat'leur but nc
amicable settlement was reached.

GERMAN S Defend
THEIR THIRD LINE
POSITIONS
Fourth Week Of Somme Battle
Opens With Fierce Fighting
AUSTRALIANS At The FRONT
Men of the Antipodes Have Taken
Poziers and Hold Important
Road.

London, July 24-The fourth week
of the Somme battle begins well for
the allies, and is expected to be fruit
full important developments. Be
fore Saturday midnight the British be-
gan new attack on the whole line
from Pozieres to Guillemont and the
fact that Gen Haig has been able to
rtsume the offensive so soon after the
unsuccessful German counter-attacks
of last week, in which very strong
German forces were brought forward,
is regarded as a good augury.
The fighting has been of the fiercest
character, the Germans working with
their utmost strength to prevent the
British from advancing to their third
line positions. But when the last re-
ports left headquarters in France the
Australians had firmly established
themselves in Pozieres and are re-
ported to have placed themselves
astride the road in the direction of
Bapaume, while at Guillemont and
Longueval fortunes huctuated, both
places changing hands several times.
Late last night fighting was proceed
ing with the utmost violence.
The German counter-attacks re-
Gently delivered against the French
front have proved equally unsuc-
cessful and the allies are now fight
ing slowly in the direction of Com
bles, which is only two miles distant
from Guillemont.
According to a reliable estimate, the
British and French together have cap
tured since the 1st more than $4,000
prisoners, 14O guns and hundreds OF
machine guns.

Novel Methods Of Warfare.

In ancient history there are two well
authenticated instances of wild AMI
mails being used 10y attacking armies.
The first Is related by Appian when
describing the Siege of Themiseyra, in
Pontus. by Lucullus In his war against
Mlthrdatcs. Turrcts were brought up,
mounds were built and huge mines
were made by the Romans. The pco'
pie of Thcmiscyra dug open these
mines from above and through the
holes cast down upon the worlimen
bears aud other wild animals, toseth'
CO. with swarms of bees. The second
instance occurred In England when
the Danes and Norwcgians were at
tacking Chester. held by the SaXons
and some Galic auSilinrles. After
adopting stoning and boiling water de-
fcnscs In vain against the besicgera
the Snxons threw down all the bee
hives In the town upon the attackers
who were soon routed.
