1t takes the down-country railroads
from day to week to dig out after
each snowfall, and they have to enlist
the services of the general public too in
order to accomplish it. Up here in
northern New England the railroads do
their own work and they emerge from
the drifts in far less time than it takes
to restore normal service farther south,
Experience is valuable teacher, and
perhaps the northern railroads have
profited by that teaching.

Without urging the public to give
patronage to the trolley company in
preference to indulging in the splendid
exercise of walking, The Times re-
minds the people that beginning to-day
the cost of the fare inside the city
limits of Barre is five GENTS instead Of
six; and as the company promises to
give more frequent service inside the
city limits they may find it to their
profit to take advantage of the de
creased rate.

Mr.. Cunningham, the guido, have
been sick, and so Kermit and I made
our last hunt alone, going for eight
days into the Lado. We were very
successful, getting among other things
three giant Gland. which are great
prizes. We worked hard; Kermit OF
course worked hardest. for he is
really a first-class walker and run

1t all day and every day. Kermit has
really become not only an excellent
hunter but also responsible and
truthworthy man, fit to lead; he man
aged the whole caravan and after
hunting all day he woulu sit up half
the night taking care Of the skins.
He is also the incest possible compan-

to our gun bearers and tent boys, and

Quentin Grown Up.

DEAR ARCHIE:
Quentin turned UP last night. He is
half an inch taller than ! am, and is
in great shape. He is much less fat
than he was, and seems to be turning
out right in every way. / was amused
to have him sit down aud play the
piano pretty well. We miss you dread
fully now that Christmas has come.
The family went into revolt about my
SLOUGH hat. which Quentin chistened
"old Mizzorira," and so l have had to
buy another with a less pronounced
crown and brim. We all drank your
good health at dinner.

I DARLING ETHEL:
Here we are, by real tropical river,
with game all around, and no human
being within several days journey. At
nigh the hyenas come around the
camp, uttering their queer howls; and
once or twice we have heard lions;
but unfortunately have never seen
them. Kermit killed II leopard yester-
day, He has really done so very we'll!
{ II is rare for boy with his refined
tastes and his genuine appreciation of
literature-and OF so much else-to be
also an exceptionally bold and hardy
\ sportsman. He is still altogether too
reckless; but by my hen with one
chicken attitude. | think l shall get
him out Of Africa uninjured; and his
keenness, cool nerve, Workmanship,
hardihood, endurance, and good eye
sight make him a really good wilder

ineiy attached to Cunninghame and
Tarleton, and all three naturalists,
funny black attendants. The porters

about 80 of them are bringing in the
wood for the camp fires, which burn
all night; and they are chanting in
chorus, the chant being nothing but
the words, "Wood-plenty OF wood to

A Merry Christmas to you! And to
Archie and Quentin. How wish i
were to be with you all, no matter
how cold-it might be at Sycamore; but
suppose we shall be sweltering I'M
