When for years your friends have

you have concluded you might as well
be keeping a car; and the least little
excursion into fine print gives you
headache; and your wife explains to
visitors that you have outgrown all In
terest in dancing and cards; and oil
your old girls have children going to
school; and the only movies you care
to see any more are the more exciting
pictures; and then when, one evening,
some young folks are in and oldfash-
Toned molasSes and vinegar taffy Is
made, with walnuts in, and your wife
says you'd better go easy on it or you'll
regret it before morning, and you

you want, and awaken next morning

Bear Waited and Killed Enemy.

A story is told of man who met
grizzly out alone in the mountains and
succeeded in bringing him down. He
was an enormous bear, even for q
grizzly, and the lone hunter, after
good look at him, left him lying in the
woods and went into camp TO get help
In bringing in his game. Two men
came back with him walking single
file through the trees, the man who
had killed the grizzly, in the rear. And
whCl they came TO the place where
the grizzly had fallen, there he was,
bloody and disheveled, but alive and
stacding, his huge bulk across the
path, waiting. Before any one of the
men had time to draw his gun, or re-
cover from his amazcment, the grizzly
had rushed past the two strang-
sers 80 him, and killed the man who
had wounded him to the death. Not
until he had killed his slayer did he
drop dead at the feet of the other two
men who had been powerless to pre-
vent the tragedy.

Boy Stranglss Leopard.

Strangllng n leopard with his bare
hands was the feat performed by
lad in South Africa. The leopard,
full-grown female, had in the course
Of few nights destroyed as many as
seven calves, writes Il correspondent.
Ultimately the Spoor was found, and
a chase resulted in her being brought
TO bay by large hunting dog owned
by the farmer, and which was then
with one of his native boys some little
distance from the line taken by him
in the pursuit. The leopard made no
attempt TO take refuge in tree, as is
usual, but halted. The dog immedi-
ately tackled her, gripping the hind
quarters. With the dog still hanging
to her she sprang at the boy, carrying
him to the ground. The boy, who is of
unusually powerful build, succeeded in
gripping the animal by the throat, and
the two struggled on the ground.
When the farmer arrived the leopard
had been effectually strangled and was
relaxing its grip of the boy, who was
badly injured.

Total Of 1882 on Draft List for Great
Britain and Canada

MANCHESTER, n H, March l4.-Ma-
jor Guy Boyer. officer commanding the
Manchester headquarters of British and
Canadian recruiting mission to New Hamp-
shire and Vermont, has returned from
conference held in Boston, regarding the
draft convention between the United
States, Great Britain and Canada
The major says that the draft conven-
ton may be put in force at any time
now The following classes are eligible
for service according to the major, men be-
tween the ages of 81 and 80 who have
taken out first papers, men between 81
and 30 who have not taken out their first
papers and men from 20 to 81 years and
from 81 TO 10 years, inclusive whether they
have taken out first papers or not
The draft boards in the different places
in New Hampshire and Vermont are to
render assistance in helping the British
and Canadian recruiting officers to look
up men who are eligible for service IN
their own armies says the major III
at the end Of 60 days they are not ac-
counted for IN the armies OF Great Brit
ain, they are Liable to the British and
Canadian draft board
In New Hampshire there arc $50
men of eligible age for the British and
Canadian armies and in Vermont there
are 1892 men," said the major. Their,
1882 men, who are subjects Of Great
Britain, are all of the ages from u to 81
years, and, when it is taken into considera
ton that men from 20 to 40 years ar
eligible for our armies, the number il
the two states would be tripled'

III outstanding debts of the company.
Such securities of the Grand Trunk
as have found their way to the United
States are for the most part included
in the collateral pledges against British
government loans. Many of the Cana

United States also represent a part of
the collateral to British loans. In all
these eases either the British or the
Dominion government stands between
the holders and any damage that might
be done by naturalization or oppres-

large and increasing amount of Cana

evidenced by the responses received To
the announcement of the United States

out a call for clerks to be employed in
the department in Washington. and Jan.

applied for admission to these examina-
tons. \ large percentage OF the applica-
tions came from persons whose sole pur-
pose in seeking government employment
was to help keep the war machine NOV
ing. This prompt and heavy response has
made it unnecessary to hold further ex-
aminations for general clerk in the near
future. Examinations for stenographers
and typewriters and for clerks trained in
certain special or technical lines are still
being held

END FISHERIES DISPUTE.
Reciprocal Privileges Arranged for
Americans and Canadians

OTTAWA, March 1.-THE long-standng
fisheries dispute between Canada and the
United States has been settled, at least
for the duration Of the war, it is announc-
ed by c. {. Ballantyne, minister of ma
rine and naval service. Under the new
agreement, which was reached by the
joint commission appointed by the
two governments to consider the contro-
versy United States fishing vessels are
to be permitted to enter Canadian ports
directly from the various fishing grounds
and, without requiring licenses. may sell
their catches at those ports and there
procure fresh supplies and clear again for
the fishing grounds. This arrangement
Is reciprocal, giving Canadian fishing yes
sells similar privileges at United States
ports
1t Is understood at Ottawa that the
American department Of commerce, by
authority of President Wilson. has issued
instructions to American customs officers
to permit Canadian fishing vessels to
enter United States ports under the terms
of the new pact
The agreement Is particularly beneficial
to the fishermen of the Newfoundland
banks, as 1t will enable Canadian vessels
TO carry great catches into Gloucester
and Boston
The settlement breaks down all barriers
which ~ many years have initiated
against unlimited production OF sea foods
at fishing grounds where both American
and Canadian vessels are wont to make
catches. The irritating delays to these
| ships OF our country at the ports of the
other will be eliminated.
| The Canadian government. authorized
| by order-ln council under the war meas
ures act, has issued instructions to the
various port authorities in accordance with
/ the settlement. As there is duty il
Canada on fish Such duty will have L
be paid when the catches are sold in the
Canadian ports

PUTNEY.
Boy Scouts and w. S. S

Putney troop of Boz Scouts began
Saturday the sale of thrift and war
savings stamps under the red postcard
plan. The campaign is to last through
1918 and Is competitive, with a system
OF prizes to the winners The govern
ment has printed 100000 of the red
postcards to be used BIZ the Scouts
throughout the United States. Orders
Tor the stamps are taken, on the cards,
which are signed by the person order
ing the stamps. The Scout mails the
card to the postoftice and the post
master or letter carrier delivers the
stamps and collects the money on the
day mentioned on the card The red
postcard is then forwarded TO the post
office to the treasury department at
Washington and then to the national
Scout headquarters in New York. where
the results are tabulated and credit
given the various Scouts 4 part of
the scheme is for each Scout to en-
deavor to secure as many regular Gus
toners as possible who will take stamps
every day or every week or one each
month.
On account of the length of the con
test, each Scout is to work in his own
!
signed, thereby giving him the liberty
to take orders for the stamps anywhere
and at any time. He is to keep a list
of orders taken and the amount, and
make a monthly report to the Scout
master of his sales.

the stamps for their children.
