Some interesting facts concerning the life of New England Puritans im mediately after the Revolution are related by Arthur Train in his “Puri tan’s Progress,” written after exten sive research into old town records, newspapers, letters and other early documents. There were few roads and no good ones, so most journeys were made on horseback. The first systematic stage route between New York and Boston began operation in 1783, the trip tak ing from eight to ten days. Relatives living only ten miles apart sometimes visited one another only once or twice a year. * There were no hospitals or tiained nurses, no anesthetics, no vaccina tion against smallpox which caused countless Aeaths. The hour-glass was «till used as a timepiece, fires were lit with flint and steel. If teeth were given any attention it was hy rubbing with gunpowder applied with a wood en stick. While gambling with cards and lot teries prevailed generally, theatrical performances were unlawful, and so was kissing on Sunday, even by hus band and wife. An official made his rounds on Sundays to see that every one went to church. In the few schools which existed the Bible was the princi-' pal textbook. Harvard student s had to get up for chapel at six, and re tired, when the cnrfpw rang qf nine, They had to call at the kitchen for their bread and milk, which was eaten in their rooms, in which no lights were allowed. Women usually married young and died young, the average family being nine or ten, with twenty or more chil dren not unusual, but about half of them died before maturity. And con sidering the hard conditions under which they would have been forced to live, those who died early may have been lucky at that. By Gee McGee. Buddy Wants His Money. flat rock, s.

Wild Life. We have no wild game in our county—except a few furkle doves— now and then, an occasional squirrel, and several rabbits, but we have two nice, tame game wardens paid by the State. When a would-be hunter goes out to hunt he is facedfkith all kinds of laws and re-strict ions, and the drug store clerk told me last night that the same kinds of laws obtain all over the United States, Georgia, Chicago, Reno, California and Florida. It seem s that ouj State is fairly reasonable in respect to hunting and trapping, but when the nimrod and fish-rod go out to destroy th? 4-footed beasts and the wobbly-tail fishes, he confronted with restrictions like is unto the following: be 1. Hunting for squirrels will permitted, provided that no dog s are in the crowd and your gun is not loaded. No objections will be raised to thriwing rocks and chunks at squirrels between October and No vember 5th. 8 aw 2 buttons were missing frotamiy shirt; then sh^ said a black-haired brunnette was in love with me, but HUDSON BAY PORT HANDED BLACK EYE W been wondering who that other child is that loves me. She informed me that I was very rich—how F wish the public could have heard that.

Ottawa, Ont.—When a grain-laden vessel smacked Its nose against an Iceberg in Hudson straits and went to the bottom recently, America’s most northerly seaport, Port Churchill on Hudson bay, received a black eye. cajp’t think of any dark-skinned man •that I'owe, and I am sure I have done all of my flirting with other men's wives at my own home and with my own wife, but I’m looking all susp^ cious characters right in the eye and am avoiding tall, dark-skinned fel low’s. She notified me that I was going to inherit a large sum of money from a rich aunt. The only aunt I ever had died last year and I had to chip in $15.00 to help lay her away decent. She iaught up with me being a farmer; I think she found that out by my finger nails. SJhe said I w’as a good business man. Gosh, how I wish my banker had been gstting an ear-full of that. I was told that I would live to be an old man; she spre- ly didn’t catch on to my high blood- pressure and heart skipping. She told me in a very secretive mannbr that I would be a proud father some day. I have been one already for 18 years. She did not tell me how to bor row any more money, but said that the man that owed me less than $5,- 000 was planning to pay me when he sold hi s cotton at 40c a pound or his wheat at $2 per bushel. I told her that I thought that was true and I’d just wait on hinf. At present, he has neither cotton or wheat or anything else except a farm and my mortgage is a s econd mortgage on that—behind (way behind, too) “the Federal Land bank. Then I saw my wife coming and jumped loose from the gypsy and began to enjoy the hcotchy-kootchy on the other side of the mid-way. Veterinarian in Texas Has Cat With Two Faces Houston, Texas.—That “two-faced cat” often mentioned in speaking of the neighbors has come to life at last. A two-faced cat is a living, breath ing reality In the dog and cat hos pital of Dr. G. W. James. It has two perfect sets of eyes, two sets of nostrils, two mouths, and two sets of vocal chords—hence, two voices—but only one set of ears and one lower Jaw. Doctor James says the kitten is perfectly normal in other respects, and believes it will live. 2. Possums may be caught if you carry along only 1 dog and 1 axe and 1 crosscut saw, but all catches must be skinned by daylight the morning following the night be'fore. Lanterns for blinding the said possums eyes must not be stronger than 10 candle power. 3. It shall be lawful to hunt quail, partridges, ducks, geese, pigeons, wild and tame turkeys, muskrats, tuf- kle doves and muscats between 10 o’- ,'glpck a. m., Thanksgiving day and 7 o’clock p. m., Thanksgiving day.

Licenses to hunt on your own land is $3.00; on your neighbors’land with his permission and hi s dog, $4; 2 miles away from home, $5; with gun, $6; with a pair of brass nucks, $7; with a pistol, $8; with your wife, $9; with another man’s wife, $10. All money received by the State must be wasted or' spent or paid to the wardens during the year it is collect- ed in. Rabbits must not be hunted at all except on Sunday’s a g usual, and no guns, mind you. (N. B. Religious worship must not be disturbed.) I Now Know Everything. 1 had my fortune told at the county fair last week. The fortune teller wa? an American gypsy, born in Alabama, raised in Kentucky, and stayed 3 years in New York. Her daddy was a yankee and her mother was a southerner, and that’s why she was born a gypsy. this boy deserves help at once, he did not go across, but uncle sam comes across whether you went or stayed at home, and he ought to be as fair to buddy Clark as he is to seweral other compensators in our midst, buddy had a slight case of flat feet when be was drafted, but they got better in the govverment h:sspitt!e aad be served nearly 40 days in camp Mil 1 never did be’ieve that gypsies or any other gcod-looking animals a s for that matter, can tell me or anybody: else very much about the piesent land absolutely nothing about the future and very much less about the past.

The Lancet conies out for remov able pockets in coats and trousers. The editors argue that if cleanli ness Is next to godliness, every man Is a sinner who puts his hands into pockets v which are not cleansed every day or so. Dr. FeVcy Kdgelow has demon strated a pocket he ^bas devised for coat and trousers, capable of being 'vemovedr-eleansed and disinfected G>y boiling, or otherwise, and replaced at will. Bandits Flee From Spinsters’ Greeting Ocala, Va.—When “Doc” Wright, twenty-five, and Columbus Quisep- berry, twenty-two, tried to break into the home occupied by three el derly spinsters here, they received- a much wanner reception than they had anticipated. Miss Annie Goad, sixty-three, a cripple, smashed Wright on the head with an ax as he tried to enter a window. The other sis ters, seventy-three and sixty, rte* spectively, put up such valiant re sistance that the men were fright ened oft and later arrested, but not until they had used rocks and oth er missiles with such effect that the spinsters’ dwelling was consid erably damaged. How Doctors Treat - Colds and Coughs To break up a cold overnight and re lieve the congestion that makes you cough, thousands of physicians are now recommending Calotabs, the nausealess calomel^jg in pound tablets that give you the effects of calomel and salts without the unpleasant effects of either. One or two Calotabs at bedtime with a glass of sweet milk or water. Next morn ing yonr cold haa vanished, your system is thoronghly purified and you are feeling fine with a hearty appetite for breakfast Eat what you wish,—no danger. Calotabs are sold in 10c and 35c pack- ages at drag stores. (Adv) Canada had gambled to the extent of $54,000,000 on the navigability of her subarctic water route, and the dominion government had Just suc ceeded in convincing the shipping in surance underwriters that no special dangers attached to the Hudson bay water route and that they could cut insurance rates materially. The whole Hudson bay railway venture, together with Its costly terminal and port facilities, is gen erally regarded by politically versed Canadians as a white elephant born of political exigencies. Both Parties Responsible. The Canadian middle west had wanted a Hudson bay railway and port for decades and a few years ago w’hen the political balance as be tween Liberals and Conservatives was finely proportioned both parties vied with each other in their support of the demand. Thirty or forty political constituencies west of the head of the lakes would throw their support to the party most strongly advocating construction of the railway. IVesent-day responsibility rests evenly upon both Canadian political parties, for both, alternate!/ in power, pushed the project to completion^ There was a $6,000,000 blunder con nected with the earlier selection of Port Nelson as the railway terminus. Charles Dunning, as minister of rail ways In the old Mackenzie King gov ernment. found that the peculiar na ture of the sub-soil at this point pre cluded successful dredging, so with $6,000,000 already spent trying to de velop Port Nelson, this site was abandoned for Churchill. Government statistics for the pres ent grain shipping season show that the new port of Churchill has been active to the extent of 1,367.713 bush els of grain shipped out. This looks fairly impressive for Its first year of operation alongside of Montreal’s 10,- 814,072 and Vancouver’s 4,710.206 bushels. But it does not constitute a fair commercial comparison, for the government in its efforts to establish Churchill, has been carrying the grain free of elevator and other usually In cidental costs at the new port. About six European freighters, each taking away about 250.000 bushels, have called at Churchill this year and taken out grain cargoes.
