How many men can vault three
| foot fence on their Slst birthday. Barre
has man who did this stunt yester-
| day morning simply to prove to his
son in law, b. W. Griffith, that he could
do it. Jarvis c. Harris of 1888 South
| Main street was the man. Mr.. Harris
| could vault six-foot fence when he
| first entered the ranks of the north
ern army in the Civil war, and still
retains some of this vigor and agility
in his advanced years. Mr.. Harris
started the day by bounding over the
fence almost as sprightly as a young
man, and later in the day walked to
East Barre to the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. win Campbell. His vault
ing or walking was not done in special
Ily constructed shoes, but in the good
old fashioned cowhide boots, which. Mr..
Harris wears daily in spite of the
styles and modern customs.
