hunting trip to the Lake Moxie region.
They each brought back deer, Mr..
Cooper having doe weighing 10
pounds, Earl having a buck weighing
lis pounds and Mr.. Strout getting a
doe weighing about $50 pounds. Mr.
Cooper reports that Earl fred at and
knocked down the biggest buck he ever
saw, but that it got up sand cleared
out before they could shoot again.
They were unable to see it as it lay
owing TO the underbrush and they
were unable to follow it. He says
that the conditions there aye very
poor for hunting, there being much
water in the swamps which the deer
frequent and in the morning the moss
in these swamps IS frozen so that
the deer can hear hunters when they
are a long distance away. He reported
however. that the partridge were very
plentiful.

they were imp0rtations from England

Criminals engaged in the big push"

Of the world, II necessary, in order
to pick up wealthy victims and by
skillful nursing lull them into a belief
that dishonesty is a silly rumor in
stead Of an irrefragable fact.
It does seem strange to the millions
Of people who carefully guard their

will hand over thousands Of dollars to
comparative strangers only to find
when too late that they have been
swindled.

WEDNESDAY IN HOLY WEEK
Solemn Ceremonies in sistine Chapel
Concentrating the Death and
Resurrection Of Christ.

At the Office of the Miserere, which
is sung in the Sistine chapel at Rome
IN Wednesday of Holy week, a cere-
mony takes place in which a triangular
candlestick, upon which are Is a n
dies, CORRESPONDING to the number Of
psalms recited, is placed at the epistle
side of the altar.
After each psalm, one of the candles
IL extinguished by a master of cere-
monies and after the benedictus the
candle on the top is alone not extin-
guished, but is removed and concealed
behind the altar and 0 brought out
until the end Of the service. While the
canticle is sung the six candles on the
altar are extinguished IS well as those
above the rails.
The custom of ~concealing the last
and most elevate candle, and bringing
1t forward burning at the end Of the
service, is an allusion to the death and
resurrection of Christ. In the same
manner the other candles extinguished
n after the other may represent the
prophets who were successfully put to
death before the crucif1xion of their
Lord.

Companionable Moose.

That a moose may be friendly on
occasion has been indicated by q re-
port from Topsfield, Me-, of the adven-
lures Of the local game warden with
one Of these large animals. Early one
morning the warden discovered a
moose far out In the center OF a frozen
lake. Evidently the lice made poor
going, in the opinion OF the animal.
for It was unable to keep Its footing.
The warden, aided BY several resi-
dents Of the. vicinity, managed to get
the animal upon its feet, and to shore.
where a quantity Of hay and other
feed was heaped on the ground. The
moose, after satisfying itself that only
kindness was meant, ate heartily ct
the provender and then made off at
q leisurely gait In the direction OF the
deep woods.
