we talked slowly to give the children

squirmed a little. They were very
much pleased with themselves.
But, oh how mad the mosquitoes
We're! They buzzcd and sung their
ugly little songs. They tried to bite
the snails, but they had gone inside

Bennington Banner.l
The August number Of Outing contains
an interesting article on Vermont trails,
written by l.. l.. Little, associate editor
of the magazine Mr. Little came to Yer
mont and in company with James r.
Taylor, spent several days on the Long
trail in the vicinity of Mt Mansfield and
has written approximately of what he
saw. The Long trail is coming to be one
of Nermont's most valuable assets and is
attracting more visitors each year The
best kept and best marked stretch of the
Long trail j. the Bennington section from
the Massachusetts state line to Prospect
Rock, on the range opposite Manchester.
This section is y miles III length and
passes through a wonderful stretch OF
mountain and forest area. One thing
THAT ought to be done, however, is to
connect up the Bennington section with
the killington section east OF Rutland.
| The Bennington branch of the Green
Mountain club is already taking care OF
more t7tf thar any Other branch, but il
| looks as though Bennington and Rutland
will have to get together and open up
distance yet to be marked Possibly
Bratteboro might be persuaded to hell
some as the trail Is an asset to Windham
county as 4 summer resort and Brattle
boro has not yet done much toward the
lcompletion of the Long trail
