Knowing what would Immediate
~ follow, Parince ran with all the
power he could obtain from his
muscles. He had just arrived at the
spot when the nerves Of the alliga-
tor moved convulsively. Even after
death the muscles Of the monster
dragged the large body toward the
water slowly. carrying Roden with
it. screaming for help. Parince
frantically tried to open the jaws Of
the alligator, but they only opened
for an instant and then snapped
back into the flesh Of poor Roden.
His shriels had stopped by now for
he thought il was his end. Rolling
"a large stone before the alligator
Parince stopped its progress for a
few moments. Instantly he seized
his gun and SHOT az the jaw bones
The bone snapped and another shot
severed the other side. The Jaw
hung Imply and Parince easily re-
moved Roden. Released OF its bur
den the alligator plunged into the
pond and slowly disappeared from
sight
With the help OF some friendly
Indians Roden was carried 10 civil
zation where his wounds were cared
for. The poison that ROden had re-
ceived from the jaws of the alliga-
tor had so badly infected his right
foot that it was necessary to have 1t
amputated After his almost tragic
experience Roden lost his desire to
go alligator hunting.

Before doing the trick attach a
black silk thread, looped, to the but

which preferably is black IN color,
thru the loop The thread is of such
length as TO allow free handling Of

The proposal of the state forestry
department to have state tax i'm
posed on the slashers of Christmas
trees in Vermont may go far toward
making up what the farmers ought to
get from the men who come into the
state each year to secure the little
spruces. II is notorious that the farm
ers get only minor percentage of the
cost which the consumer is asked to
pay for the Christmas trees in the
large cities, either through ignorance
of the price which is asked in the cit
les or because of the lack of agree
ment on standard price that seems
reasonable. Inasmuch as the Christ
mas tree slashers are annually taking
out many millions of young trees the
state tax may serve as necessary
check to the depletion of the states
forests. There are all too few trees
growing in Vermont at the present
time; and each cutting by the Christ
mas tree man makes great inroads
into the potential forests-trees which
would be especially valuable if they
were permitted to grow for some
years.

THE CITY CAUCUS AND THE
CITY CLERKS JOB.

1t ought not to be necessary to urge
the voters of Barre to attend the citi-
zens' caucus in the opera house to-mor-
row Thursday evening. It ought not
TO be necessary especially in case
like the present one when the city of
Barre is TO change the city clerk and
treasurer for the first time in eighteen
years. Decision by James Mackay to
retire from the positions after the
long and meritorious service he has
given brings upon the voters of Barre
very important question. The holder
of the office of city clerk and treasurer
is really the pivot around which re-
wolves the whole municipal govern
ment. Mayors come and go, aldermen
come and go, other officials come and
GO; yet it is the custom to continue
in the Offices Of city clerk and treasur-
er the man who lives up TO his obliga.
tion and shows the capacity for sery-
ice which the Office demands In 9th
er words, il the citizens find they have
selected the right man they are apt
to take the offices of city clerk and
treasurer out Of the vagaries Of poll
tics and TO reflect the fit person year
after year. Experience counts and
counts heavily in those two Offices; the
voters recognize that, and 50, having
the right man, they are inclined to
keep him if the holder of the office
is willing. They would keep James
Maokay in the offices were it not for
his firm decision 20 retire, for they feel
that they have had the right man these
eighteen years. Thus il viii be seen
that very important decision rests
upon the voters Of the city at the
caucus Thursday evening Nomination
there does not necessarily lead to cleo
ton at the March meeting but il will
60 far toward determining who viii be
city clerk and treasurer and act as the
pivot Of the city government.
The Importance Of the matter hav-

Market Trend
STOCKS

Mixed sentiment exists in the stock
market, which has shown the eN-
pected dullness. Price movements
are more or less erratic and often
seemingly without sufficient cause.
The public lacks confidence IN the
present earning capacity OF leading
corporations and cares little for
stocks. Further liquidation may de-
velop this summer, but on this point
there is disagreement. Pres't Hard
ing's attitude toward the soldier
bonus bill is a constructive influence
as is the movement toward govern
ment economy and tax revision
downward. Reports from industry
and trade justify conservatism and
no immediate change is probable.
