VISIT TO rERHUNE KENNELS.
Noted Author Shows His Collies to Brat
tleboro Visitor,

There appears in the september mum
Der of the Red Cross magazine an article
by Albert Payson Terhune, entitled My
Collies and |, illustrated by several
photographs of his wonderful colles
taken on 1.-The Place" 1t is intensely
interesting and contains several true IN
cidents of Mr.. Terhune's collie dogs,
which are both amusing and pathetic
Mr.. Terhune's book, Lad: A Dog, is one
of the best dog stories ever written and
is a true account of one of the most
"human" collies ever born on The
Place
An opportunity to visit Mr.. Terhune
at his beautiful estate, Sunnybank, on
Pompton Lakes, n. j., was afforded me
this summer, and the hour which | spent
there with him and Mrs. Terhune, and
with eight of the most wonderful coilIes
will never be forgotten. The Place, on
the banks of and overlooking Pompton
Lakes, with acres of beautiful surround
ing grounds, affords an ideal home Tor
the collies. During my visit there, when
was all too short, Mr.. Terhune took me
into the kennels, pointed out each dog
to me, calling each by name, invited me
into the library to see the array OF
beautiful silver cups and blue ribbons

the head of which is a small marble
marker with the inscription Lad. Thor
oughbred in Body and SOUL all the time
giving me valuable hints as to the train
ing and care of the collie. The complete
mastery and discipline which Mr.. Ter
hume exercised over his dogs was moth
ing short of marvellous. 1t is gained by
patience and love, for Sunnybank collies
do not know what it means to be struck
or kicked.
AS we drove from "The Place" Mr. Ter.
hume again called each dog by name, and
they Immediately surrounded him on
the lawn, making a farewell living pic
ture of the well-known and beloved
author of collie stories and his wonder
full pack. l have wondered many times
since that visit if those dogs realize that
they are lucky dogs to be born at Sun

committee appointed by the High
School Alumni association, referring
especially to the amount which it had
been found it would cost to erect a
temporary gymnasium for the use of
the school
The question of maintenance of a
community building was brought before
he committee and discussed in several
ways, NJ. J. Moran, H. w. Mason, R. L.
Tits, Martin Austin, Mrs. c.. C. Fits,
Mrs. Fremont Hamilton and others en-
tering into the discussion Pearl r.
Dlapp, commander of Brattleboro post
# the Legion, spoke of the fine build
'ngs which are being used as homes of
he Legion posts in other places and of
he need of the local post for a home,
rs well as more accessible quarters for
The Grand Army, Woman s Relief
corps, and other patriotic organizations
Another question which came up for
consideration and discussion was as to
whether the present building should
be remodeled at an expense of several
thousand dollars to be used as club
rooms and a new gymnasium erected in
the rear. or whether n more feasible
plan would be to raise the balance
needed for a complete new structure
and not expend any of the funds on the
present building. Various opinions
were expressed regarding this phase of
he project. It was agreed that the
gymnasium ought to be built in perma-
nent form, whether the present resi-
dence is utilized for club rooms or not,
the idea being that if the main build
ing should not be erected at this time
It could be put up later in front of
and attached to the gymnasium with
out disturbing the latter The general
sentiment, however, favored erecting
the whole plant complete if the ex-
pense was not prohibitive.
1t was moved by Mrs Hamilton that
the chairman appoint a subcommittee
to take the matter under consideration,
get estimates, etc, and report back to
the general committee as soon as pos
sible. The motion was seconded by
Mr.. Moran and was carried unani-
nously, and the meeting was ad-
journed.
The following committee was APP
nointed this morning by Mr. Durham:
Rev. D. f. Trout, E. L. Hildreth, Mar
tin Austin, Carl S. Hopkins, G. Arnold
Pellet, Mrs. Fremont Hamilton and
Mrs. John c. Dewitt.

EASY WAYS TO LOSE
BAGGAGE EXPLAINED
BY PENNSY OFFICIAL

A certain Pennsylvania station Off
cial is considering putting on the mar
ket a book Of instructions on how to
lose baggage.
One of the best methods he believes,
Is to stroll into the lobby, drop the
bag to the floor and wander about alb
sent-mindedly. Almost invariably some
cne Is interested enough to pick up
he bag and walk off with 1t.
Almost as efficient, he believes, is to
leave luggage in care of total strang-
err in the waiting room while one buys
a ticket, or eats lunch. II the stranger
Is honest he is quite likely to be called
away, and if he is not honest the pro-
cess Is still further simplified.
Another good way is to place bag
near a pile of luggage belonging to an
other party. When they leave they
are very likely to take the extra bag
without noticing.
II persons desiring to lose baggage
will be careful to place it behind them
when waiting at the ticket window in
stead of in front of them, someone Is
likely to take it away. And, of course.
the man who leaves his baggage on a
seat In the waiting room and steps
Into the lunch room is an almost sure
loser.
In spite Of solicitude Of thieves for
unprotected baggage, as large an
amount Is lost through mistakes as
through their efforts, the official be-
1ieves.

Paris with the main line at New West
vile. it is learned, from an official

that it would require an outlay OF
many thousand dollars to remedy the
damage.
If the motor bus line proves success
full bus line will be established be-
tween Gratis, in the southeast part OF

| ton line at convenient point. it is

YOUR QUOTA

At any one point Of time there
are 2,6O0, 900 persons seriously i'll in

days.
On this basis we have about
135,S50,0OO cases of serious illness
annually or about 26,000,00o more
weeks Of sickness than We have

This means that each person in
the United States has a quota Of
nearly nine days Of sickness annual

this quota is not contributing his
share to the i'll health Of his coun-
