DEAF MUTE
LEFT ALONE TO DIE

Existing, not really living, in a re-
modelled store box for a home, the
case Of Wesley Breeder, an i'll and
INDECENT deaf-mute, has aroused the
sympathies of other residents of Bcr-
kelley Place. with the result that an
indignant protest will be made to the
county court relative TO the treat
ment accorded the destitute man.
Breeder is unable to do thing for
himself and if it were not for the
humane visits paid him by Berkeley
Place people he would die. His
dwelling place is said to demand in
spection by the health authorities A
prominent citizen this morning said
he would gladly take the county
court in his ear over to the pidful
abode of Breeder if they would only
visit the place.

HAD ONION FLAVOR
Missourian Found Out It Was
Not Popular.

Onions have broken into the news!
One little speck of them cost Lex
Wise Of Missouri 600 hard-earned
dollars.
An onion is admirable in its
proper encourage; in potato salad or
sliced with cucumbers, minced in
Hamburger, or even "smeared on a
piece of bread" where the result is
held a dainty for the gods by the
hungry lopulace Of Poland.
Smeared on bread, it may be all
right, but not SO when worked into
the flour, not so ground in the mill
and sifted into the sack, remarks the
New Orleans Picayune.
Mr.. Wise is a wheat grower, and
his wheat field was invaded by a flock
Of wild onions. Pretty things they
are, sending up long, lilylike stems
with flowers as fragrant as the hon.
eysuckle, and giving no outward evil
dence of their internal surprises.
Moved with the wheat, dried and
run through the threshing machine,
sacked or shipped in bulk to the ele-
vator, transported to the mill, and
finally ground into flour, the little
onion friend still clings to the wheat
grain. Out ome the flour, white
as the driven or the undriven snow,
but knead it, bake it, butter it, sirup
it, cheese it and taste it, and there
is the flavor still Of the little onion
friend.
So Mr.. Wise sent men aud women
to track the subtle legume to its lair,
and as a result he treasures a pack Of
undcrsized and ]oyerseasoncd bulbs
while his pocketbook is 5000 lighter.

This Tract Added to One on Same
Mountain Bought Year Ago Makes
Largest State Forest in New Eng
land Except Crawford Notch.

The Vermont forestry department
has just concluded the purchase of a
tract of about 1000 acres lying on the
east side of Mount Mansfield This
property, added to the one acquired a
year ago on the west side of the range,
makes the total area about 5000 acres.
The Mansfield forest thus becomes not
only the largest state forest in Yer
mont, but, next to the Crawford Notch
forest i'll New Hampshire, the largest
in New England. 1t is understood
that the state of New Hampshire paid
100000 for the Crawford Notch prop
erty of 5000 acres. The Mansfield for
est will cost Vermont about $13, 800
However, in the former case the tim
Der was included in the purchase,
whereas funds were not available for
the Vermont forestry department to
purchase the understandable timber. A
fairly satisfactory arrangement has
been made by the state forester with
to cut spruce and fir trees which are
less than 10 inches in diameter; and
hemlock and hardwoods less than Is
inches Gall trees to be measured at
breast height. On certain areas no
limit will make it impossible to cut
close. The legal arrangements for the
purchase were made by States Attor-
ney Maurice of Lamoille county.
From a forestry standpoint the pur-
chase of this large area at reason
able price, with a fairly good stand of
growing trees, makes this by far the
finest area in the state. Markets for

IN future years.
Governor Gates, who has been in

aspects. On the north the tract cross
