states Attorney r b. Thomas
stated at his office in Montpelier this
noon that Colson's death was undoubt-
edly a case of suicide. The states at
torney received news of the death late
last night and went to the home of Er
nest Lonergan in the Jones Brook
neighborhood, where the body was
found by Mr. Lonergan on his return
from Montpelier.
When Lonergan got home he found
the outside door of the house locked
and he had TO secure ladder to
climb into the house. Once inside, he
found the body of Colson inside bed

out into the hall The death was re.
ported and doctor and the states
attorney arrived later.
Lonergan said Colson came to his
place Late Wednesday night and had
been staying there since then. They
had been acquaintances but Colson had
never visited Lonergan before. The
latter lives alone. Gibson said he
to help get up some wood. II

about being summoned as witness in
the Cormier case and also over another |
ease in which he might be called He
declared that he dreaded to 90 to

he decided to make away with him

FOREIGNERS SENDING
VAST RELIEF home
Over 90 Per Cent Of Food Drafts
Sent to Europe Gifts From !
Immigrant Population.

Out Of their earnings, for the most
part as unskilled laborers, living from
hand to mouth, the foreign-born .ele-
ment in the United States is contribut-
ing largely to the funds for food sup
plies to aid the starving peoples Of
their native lands.
Figures from the Food Draft section
Of the American Relief Administration
show that s593,11O had been sent to
Poland, up to the end of November.
$15S,170 had been sent to Czecho
Slovakia, Hungary had received $780,
760, Germany had "A ,619 and Aus
tria $2,046,720. 1t was estimated that
more than 80 per cent of this money
had been spent by nationals of these
various countries who are now in the
United States. There are about 1,50O,.
600 Poles, 100000 Hungarians, 100000
Czechs and 100000 Slovaks in this
country.
The profits which resulted from the
sale of these food drafts have been
turned into the fund for general child
feeding. It is to bring this fund up to
the point where it can meet the de-
mands on it, to save the lives of $780,
900 children that the European Relief
Council has been formed by eight great

The Human Species.

The human species, according to the
hest theory / can form of it. is com
posed of two distinct races, the men
who borrow and the men who lend.
To these original diversities may be
reduced all those impertinent classifi-
cations of Gothic and Celtic tribes.
white men, black men, red men. All
the dwellers upon the earth, Par
thians, Modes and Elanlites, flock hith-
er and do fall in naturally with one
or the other distinction. The infinite
superiority Of the former, which /
choose to designate as the great race,
is ,discernible in figure, port and a
certain instructive sovereignty. The
latter are born degraded. He shall
serve his brethren. There is some
thing in the air Of one of this cast
lean and suspicious; contrasting with
the open, generous manners of the
other.-Charles Lamb.

Panama Canal Locks.

There e'few things more interest
ing to the average traveller than to
pass through the great locks Of the
Panama canal. The vessel enters very
slowly and as she does lines are taken
aboard leading to electric motors or
mules" which keep her in the center
of the lock. Then the great gates at
the rear swing together and the water
is turned into the enclosure thus
formed. Looking over the side of the
steamer n ees a great bubble of
water rise from the bottom, then a
second and third appear until finall:?
the whole surface of the lock is boil
ing. The pressure is so great that
often fish sucked into the drains that
lead from the Gatum lake, are drawn
in and thrown several feet into the
air. When the proper level is finally
reached the gate ahead of the vessel
opens and the "mules start forward,
dragging the vessel free from the lock
before she moves ahead under her
own power.

Credit Belongs to Franklin.

Everybody knows that the versatile
Franklin was the originator Of many
things. But few realize that he was
the first American %cartoonist. "Join
or Die" the, familiar sketch of the
choppedAup serpent, with each piece
representing n of the Colonies, was
entirely the work of Franklin. Even
the cutting Of the type-metal was
done by his own hands. This first
newspaper cartoon appeared in the
Pennsylvania Gazette, May 8. 1854,
and was a device for urging united
action upon the Colonies at the time
of the French and Indian wars. 1t
may be noted also that he engraved a
map of the siege Of Louisburg and
published it in the Gazette. This is
said to have been the earliest attempt
at illustrating news.-Asa Don Dickin-
son in New York Times.

.LYDlANs HAD FIRST COINAGE
Treasure Deposited In the Temples
Was Impressed With Badge or
Symbol of Divinity.

So far rs is known, the Lydians,
says tleredotus, first introduced gold
and silver coin. The invention was
not far to seek. Treasure came to be
deposited for safety in the temples,
where 1t was c~onsecrated to the care
Of the divinity by being impressed with
a badge or symbol. The sacred SYM
Dol being accepted as guarantee Of
value, the pieces Of metal SO impressed
found easy circulation. The earliest
Lydian coins extant, deriving, probably
from the reign Of Gyges (about TOO B.
c., are bean-shaped Jumps Of native
Lydian gold, blenched with silver.
Each coin bears on it's diverse the
figure of a lion and on its reverse the
impress of the nail-head serving to
keep the metal in place, while being
struck. From Lydia the one-sided coin
spread throughout the coasts and is
lands of the Aegean sea, each city is
suing coins bearing the symbol Of its
divinity. In Greece the earliest coins
Of silver, with the figure Of the tor
toise OF the diverse, are said to have
been struck by Pheidon of Argos. To
Scion, about 500 B. c., is ascribed the
introduction into Athens of the terra
drachm, on it's diverse the head Of
Athene, on its reverse an owl. Sparta
enjoyed all to itself the luxury Of a
purely iron coinage. The Greek coins
from $50. to 300 B. c. marked a great
advancement in the way Of art, and
Anthenian money vas the chief medi-
UNI Of exchange during this period.
Other nations later adopted their w
coinage, which has continued to i'm
prove with the advance of civilization.

Within 20 miles Of where the first
English settlement in America was

lave BEER ALWAYS ON "TAP"
rjcan Tribe, but Little Drunk
ennes is Reported.

Among the Madi or Moru tribes of
the White Nile in Africa, there ex-
lists a form Of municipal brewery that
would make a great hit among the
thirsty in America. A special house
is set aside for it, and all the women
Of the tribe spend part of their time
in making beer from millet seed.
White men who have tasted it de-
clare it to be a frst-rate drink Of
fine flavor and heady results. The
beer is kept in enormous jars, and
to each jar is attached a number of
gourd dippers. The beer is free to
anyone or everyone, the only re-
striction being that it be drunk in
the brewery and not with meals. In
spite of this freedom the tribe men,
bers seldom get drunk.
To make sure their women will stay
on as brew-masters and not go running
off with other men from nearby tribes,
the girls are taken when ten or twelve
years old and laid on the ground while
a sharp stone is used to pry and knock
out the four upper and lower incisors.
The resulting effect is anything but
beautiful-as the intention was. The
clothing Of the women consists of a
string worn around the waist, and
changed only when it gets SO dirty
dark skin.-Detroit News.

true when containers are used more
than once. Shipping containers should
be light in weight but sufficiently dur
able to carry the produce.
Size.-The size Of a c%ontainer de-
ponds upon the desires Of the custom
ers. Most persons wish to obtain small
quantities of each product at a time.
Containers should be just large enough
for the produce shipped. If the carton
is too large or too small, both the
produce and the container are likely
to be damaged, for the produce will
not be kept in place and the c%ontainer
will be crushed. The larger the guam
tity of produce shipped in one parcel
the lower will be the cost per pound
for transportation and the lower the
container cost per pound.
Appearance.-A container should
present an attractive appearance, both
on arrival and when opened, and
should show the produce to advantage.
OF course, new containers are more
attractive than those which have
been used; and only those second
hand containers which are clean
should be used again.
Costly cost of containers puts a
distinct limitation on small shipments
Of farm produce. A shipment must
have considerable value m order that
the transportation charges and cost of
container may not equal a large per-
centage Of the price. The price which
can be reasonably paid for a %container

RoBs OTHER BIRDS OF PREY
HFrigate Pelican" Secures Its Food
Chiefly by Forcing Its Weaker
Brethren to Disgorge.

The frigate bird, also called the a
of-war hawk and the "frigate pelican"
is a sea bird, SO called from its attacks
on other birds. This bird, very large
and with black plumage, is capable of
very powerful and rapid flight. It
sometimes measures ten feet from tip
to tip of Its extended wings. On ac-
count of it's immense extent Of wing
and it's dashing habits, it has been
called the swiftest bird that sweeps
the seas.
The frigate bird is a tropical sea
bird Of two species. The larger ranges
all round the world within the tropics;
the smaller is found only near the
eastern IA from Madagascar TO Mo-
luccas and southwark to. Australia.
Both species breed in large colonies,
building their nests on rocks, high
cliffs or lofty trees on uninhabited
islands. The birds often fly far out
to sea, but most of the time, they re-
main nea shore.
The frigate birds aerial evolutions
are extremely graceful and it scars to
great heights. It is said never to dive
for it's prey, but to seize fishes only
when they appear at the surface or
above it. Flying fishes form a great
part of it's food. This bird Of prey also
pursues gulls and terms and eats the
fish it forces them to disgorge. The
male acquires under it's bill a bright
scarlet pouch which is capable Of in
fation.

Trapping Looks Easy.
Wild-animal trapping looks easy to
most farm boys until they have tried
and failed. Success demands knowl-
edge Of the animals and their habits.
The red fox, for instance, must be
caught by wiles as cunning as his own.
Traps and the ground where they are
set must be free from human scents.
Steel traps are cleaned by boiling with
pungent twigs or by burying or leaving
in running water for a day or two, af-
ter which they should be handled only
with leather or waXed cotton gloves.
Breeding grounds, hunting grounds and
peculiar habits Of the animals should
be well studied beforehand. Traps are
sometimes set in springs that do not
generally freeze over. A little island
is built up some time before the trap
is set. A No. 2 or No. 3 steel trap is
Embedded in the soil with a piece of
moss covering the pan. A bit Of faint

In making a land set, a shallow hole
is made to conceal the trap and the
stake and chain which hold it. The
earth removed should be placed on a
cloth, and all that is not used should
be carried away. The trap is covered
with dry earth, free from anything
which would clog the jaws.
Foxes often follow paths or trails.
