ANIMAL LIFE
Here are some blrj and animal- ' shot one. It will be stuffed and pre
ttoiies picked up In different parts of sented to the state.
Vermont, all of which are vouched for
tiy the New England Ornithological
and Audubon society:
H. W. Russell, who lives In the vil
lage of Hlnesburg, Chittenden coun
ty, heard a commotion In his garden
late one r ight a week ago, and, tak
ing a lamp, went out to Investigate.
He had hardly stepped off the stoop
when a good-slied black bear walked
jp to hint and emitted a loud "woof,
woof." Fclng In night attire and hav
ing no gun handy, Mr. Russell hove
the lamp at the animal and disap
peared within the house, where he
remained until morning. He w&s tell
ing the stcry next day, when he learn
ed that Mrs. T. Beaupre, a neighbor,
had seen the bear. She heard it in
her back yard and thought It was a
dog after her pet cat. She walked
right onto It and was about to slap
it with a broom, when she found her
visitor was a bear. Earl Jackson
heard her shouts for help and arriv
ed on the scene with a 32-callbre re
volver. He fired three shots, all of
which took effect in the animal'
flank. Bruin cast a look of reproach
at his tormentor and disappeared in
the darkness.
A woodchuck with tree-climbing
tendencies, has been killed at the foot
of Mt Graylock, near the village of
Essex Junction has a bird that is a
cross between a robin and whlppor
will? It looks and sings like both, and
is creating a great deal of Interest.
The bird made its appearance some
weeks ago and tried to find a mate.
It sang like a robin at that time.
and soon paired off with a thrush of
that species. The couple began to
build a house and had nearly finished
when the male perched on a roof and
shouted "whtpporwill, whipporwill,"
at the top of his voice. Mrs. Robin
was horrified and deserted without
the formality of getting a divorce.
She would have nothing more to do
with her Jekyl-Hyde partner and took
up with a spouse who would stick to
his own language. The first husband
made an awful fuss when the newly
maited pair took up an abode In the
home he had helped construct, but
after he had been whipped a couple
of times he accepted the Inevitable.
Persons who have watched him with
opera glasses say he is as much whip
porwill as robin.
William McDonald, of Bennington,
was playing golf on a local course last
week when he saw a big turtle over by
the side of a bunker. He went over
to where lie was and discovered the
words "Grlswold Art" engraved deep
ly on the shell. It developed that a
journey to the vallcw. Anion; the
convertH to the faith of this pioneer
missionary was White Swan, chief of
the Yakimas. When the plan for a
congress of the Methodist churches of
the Northwest was launched a letter
was written to White Swan,, asklns
hlin to attend. He consented and will
speak to the assembled brethren of
the faith from the pulpit of tin Tay
lor Street Methodist Episcopal rhi'rch
during the session cf the congress
from July 11 to 21. He will speak
through George Watterson, a convert
ed Indian, who will act as interpreter.
'Vatterson will be accompanied by his
wife.

Pownal, Benington county. The hero long time ago a man named Grlswold
of this adventure was a dog owned had the turtle in his art store at the
by J. Wells Thompson, a druggist, of village and cut the words In his shell.
Plttsfield, Mass, Thompson and the
dog were out in the woods, when the
canine spied the woodchuck running
for a stone wall and took after it. He
had chased woodchucks many times
before and was therefore, greatly as
tonished when the pursued bolted up
a tree. Mr. Thompson was so surpris
ed that he stood stock still. The ani
mal ran out on a limb like a gray
squirrel, leaped to another tree and
then proceeded to another. Finally,
he missed his footing and the dog
made short work of him. Upon ex
amination It was found tliat, while
his head and body resembled a wood
chuck, his claws were like those of a
feline.
For the first time In the history of
the state a flock of prairie horned
larks have been found here. They
were discovered a few days ago by
William Eastman, of Wells River, who
was harrowing on his father's farm.
One of the birds arose from a furrow
and flew straight up for a distance
of 200 feet. There it balanced, sang
delightfully and then soared over the
field. It was soon joined by a dozen
more and Eastman got his gun and
One night it got away and had not
been seen since.
Jerome Thornton of Brownlngton
Centre, set his dog onto a fox two
weeks ago and an hour later he stop
ped baying. Thornton went home,
thinking the dog had left Oie scent.
"If he has," he said, "he will get well
thrashed for quitting." But the hound
didn't return. Two days later the
young man set out after him, but he
couldn't find him. A week went by
and he gave the animal up for lost.
Ten days after the chase began the
dog crawled into the house, a living
skeleton. When he had been fed and
got rested he made a great fuss until
Thornton 'followed him up the moun-
Tiiberculosls First, Accidents Second,
as Causes of Death.
From the statistics prepared by the
head clerk covering the past bionntum
some very Interesting facts are shown,
says the Modern Woodman. For in
stance, during the two years, out of
a total of 7007 deaths, 6604 were
what are termed "short-term" deaths;
that is, they were deaths from those
who had been members of the society
less than five years.
Another Interesting fact is that
during the two years there were 885
accidental deaths, making the risk
from accident next to the greatest in
that society.
The largest number died from tu
berculosls, 1036 dying from that dis
ease. During the two years 246 com
mitted suicide, 493 died from typhoid
fever, 558 from heart disease. 354
from cancer, 407 from Brlght's dis
ease, and 746 from pneumonia. Ap
pendicitis caused the death of 174;
apoplexy had 165 vicltms; lit died
from diabetes, and 155 from stomach
trouble.
The fact, however, that accident
was the second largest factor In caus
ing deaths is a subject of much inter-est

will be augmented later on by the,..
addition of one or two large steam

as the Intention is to complete the
work at the earliest possible moment.
