On the mountain range the other
day Tom Diggins found a regis
tered bull that had been missing
since last fall. In the manner of
an elk the bull had tramped for
himself sort of yard in the snow.
which was more than three feet in
depth, and therein he remained
subsisting on the brush and branch
es within his reach. He was as
wild as any deer when discovered,
and ran through the snow until ex-
hausted. Fighting mad, he was
difficult proposition to handle.
Toms characteristic description Of
the episode will hardly do to print,
as he isn't in the Sunday school
class.
Ward Baker writes his father,
Merritt A. Baker, that he is now in
billet in a wood near Verdun.
Ward saw some heavy fighting in
the Argonne, and on one occasion
was so near an exploding shell that
it covered him with dirt and de-
bris.
Snow last night and today showed
that old King Winter has taken a
fresh grip. An immediate stop was
put to the midwinter plowing and
seeding operations which the open
weather had encouraged in this
neighborhood.

WESTON SCHOOLS

ing the attendance large than be-
fore school closed.
Because of the intensive work 10
Re done, parents arc requested to
give such assistance and encourage
nent as will enable the children to.
attend school regularly.
Superintendent Fitzpatrick states
that the school building is oren and
warm at $3.50 each morning and
that students who desire assistance
in their work are asked TO take
advantage of this time. The great
er part of the high school students
are studying at this time.
The quiz which is planned TO be
given the latter part of next week
is causing a very studious attitude
among the students.

Oil "a. Coal.

From the Magazine Of Wall Street.
Looking further ahead. we note
that the coal trade Is very much
alarmed oyer oil usurping its posi-:
ton. OF course, coal, men are en-
p1atic in their statement that oil
will never take the place Of coal en-
tirely., nor even to degree that will
hurt the coal trade. btt it seems to
be- more a case of ''whistling to keep
ones courage up" than of actual con-
viction. In a number of recent arti-
cles 1t, is pointed out that a mistake
is being made z(from the coal mans
point OF view) to substitute oil for
coal, the main argument being that
there is no assurance that. the oil
supply will be sufficient to take care
Of Increased oil needs. !.
There is undoubtedly great deal
Of truth In the coal trades side OF
the argument, but an impartial OBJ
server cannot fail to recognize that
oil is rapidly disp1acing coal for in
creasing uses year by year. and the
eventual result will be q serious dent
in the total volume of business done
by coal companies. 3 :;

Absorbing Europe's Art and Jewels

From tho New York World.
While this country is sending food
stuffs to Europe in enormous volume
it is receiving in return an amooot
Of jewels and works of art from
abroad. which is probably unprccc-
dented. On Tuesday the duty on i'm
ports at New York was 81 235.S61, the
greater part of which was levied &C
luxuries and jewels sold by impover-
ished European families. Quantities
of priceless heirlooms are arriving
from Russia, and in addition to regu-
lar imports of this character an in
crease OF Illicit importations is re-
ported.
Europe's necessity in this matter is
the American profiteer's opportunity.
With the millions wrung from the
consumers OF two continents he
may acquire bargains in art treasures
such as never before were offered
and adorn his home with MASTER
pieces sacrificed by war-stricken Eu-
rope for the necessaries Of life.
Is America soon to Surpass the
world in private luxury? Its acquisi-
tion of diamonds had excited the con-
Germ Of Europe long ago. and the con-
ditions consequent on the war make
it now the great market for all pre-
cious things. The dumping" of for
eign art works and jewels now under
way will expedite the absorption. And
certainly an enormous buying power
for such commodities is revealed in
exports OF foodstuffs. meat and dairy
products, which approximate $780,
000, 900 in one month.

ENGLISH RAILROADS.

From the B1fmlnEham Press.
England is spending 500. 900. 900 a
year on its. railroads, and they are
earning practically no dividends. That
can hardly be charged to government
control entirely, for rails and rolling
stock and workmen, too. have been
shipped to the continent. for military
purposes. Yet government control Is
largely responsible y for the present
condition. Sir Eric Geddes reports
that the lines are financially in a

and want to participate in the man.

ways are several laps ahead of our
own. though conservative might say
they were rather behind ours. And
there may be some profit for us in see-

produced by the combination of war

FIELDING AND FISH.
Remarks of the Famous Novelist
That Are Interesting Now.

Philip Hale in Boston Herald.
Henry Fielding. q lover Of digres-
sions even in his novels-and who
would wish these little essays fewer?
asked in the account of his voyage to
Lisbon: What. then. ought in general
to be SO plentiful. what so cheap. as
fish: What. then. so properly the food
of the poor? So in many places they
are, and SO might they always be in
great cities, which are always stu
ated near the sea, or on the confiux of
large rivers" He then asked why in
London the case is so far otherwise
that. except that of sprats, there is
not one poor palate in hundred that
knows the taste of fish,
Fielding might be writing this today
Of Boston, where we are told to eat
fish on account of the high cost of
meat, where fish is so dear. He did
not search deeply into the cause of

Croesus and his ilk hereafter will

Guy Huston, president of the First

MAN BOWS TO THE VOLCANO.
Takes What's Coming to Him and
Awaits the Next Time.

From the Seattle Post-Inteiligencer.
Under no circumstances does man
show to lesser advantage than when
volcano sends forth it's torrents. AS
a figure of speech. man may consider
himself to be puny creature, but his
working opinion Of himself is by no
means SO small In Java the earth
groaned, and $4,000 people were wiped
out of existence like so many ants.
Perhaps only 10000 were killed; per-
haps it was 10000. No one will ever
know; no one will ever be concerned
in the matter beyond the desire to ar
rive at reasonable guess as to the
loss of life. It will always be a vague
suestions, to be discussed in round
numbers. The Javanese who perished
were indeed puny creatures whose
memory will be nothing more than a
mathematical approximation.
there are details of volcanic eruption
to testify to the haphazard. unwork-
man-like fashion in which this world
or ours was made. Pompeii and Her
culaneum are household words to peo-
pie who do not know where Vesuvius
stands, but Stabiae, which was in
quilted with them, seems to have
escaped literary notice. Between
VeSuviuS and Pelee there are few who
have any knowledge of the volcanic
catastrophes that have suddenly over
whelmed thousands of human beings.
Messina. still lingerss vague in the
public mind, and Pelee. by reason of
it's comparatively close proximity, can
be recalled, although one must or
dfnari1y consult books of reference to
determine whether the loss of life was
$4,000 or 10000. The Krakatoa erup-
ton. which took place in 1883 on the
Sunda sea not far from the Kalut ex-
plosion, has been studied for years by
scientists. but the fact that 10000 per-
sons were killed is an fnconseQuental
detail. The Krakatoa explosion Is not
remembered because it caused 10000
deaths, but because it occasioned some
puzzling atmosph eric phenomena Sou
friere. a neighbor, of Mount Pelee. has
a long record of disaster, in which
the mortality figures are usually
overlooked. The fact that the ex-
plosion was heard in South America.
while 1t was not heard at distances Of
twenty miles, is considered OF much
more importance. Soufriere. it may be
recalled. was in eruption at the same
time as Mount Pelee, but on this oc-
casion it killed less than 1900 persons.
Perhaps for this reason it is never
mentioned.
Before the volcano man stands help
less. and he recognizes this fact by
his Indifference. He buries his dead
and goes about his business. AS in the
case of the Messina disaster he only
waits for the ground to cool, when
he goes to work imperturbably rais-
ing his crops on the dangerous noun
tainside. In the meantime he tries
to crafty his taste for Information
by studying volcanoes, but without
any hopes Of being able to protect him.

do either one, but it would be more
proper for him to walk on the out
