VISION
The practical man sees a email wooden
. box.
Strun? tight with the gut o a cat,
On which you can- scrape with the tall
of a horse;
There's nothing more to it than that;
Or so he declares, and it's perfectly true
That's all that a vision seems
Unless you have visions which lead you
to see
A casket of loveliest dreams.
The practical man knows a tree is a tree.
He figures its "height and its girth;
How many board feet it would yield to
the saw.
And just : what the boards would be
worth.
And yet to the man who has vision, it
stands,
A miracle sprung from the sod,
A green living glory that ever proclaims
The spirit and purpose of God.
The practical man sees a practical world
And runs it in practical style,
He's safe and he's sane as an everyday
guide,
Buf still, every once In a while,
Though practical people make living run
smooth, ;
Let's yield to the magical thrall
Of dreamers whose beautiful visions sup
ply The reason for living at all!

. " Hottest Place on Earth.
The Dead sea, at the southern end
of the Jordan valley, in Palestine, is
f-.aid to be the hottest place on earth.
It is 47 miles long, ten miles - wide,
and lies In a depression 1,300 feet be
low tlie level of the sea."' Hence it has
no outlet to the sea and the waters
that flow into it are disposed of by the
jrapid evaporation caused by the heat.
Five million tons are thus' daily taken
up by "the atmosphere. There is not
a deeper trench than thlsjm earth. As
perpetual snow rests on the tops of
high mountains" because they are xmt
of the blanket of air to some extent,
so the Dead sea is always hot because
It is under so thick a blanket and also
situated well southward. The water
o this curious lake "is five times as
salty as the ocean, and one cannot
sink In it. ' The water Is bitter to the
taste, oily, to the touch, and produces a
yellow stain.
Wild Ducka Bred fn Captivity.
; Four species "of existing wild ducks
are easily domesticated. These are
the mallard, the black mallard (a dis
tinct species), the wood duck and the
blue-winged teaL The green-winged
teal and the canvasback (beloved of
the epicure) havebeen bred success-

MUNICIPAL COURT
At Monday's session of Municipal
courts Harold Mandigo of Orleans
pleaded guilty to the charges of in
toxication and paid a fine of $5
and costs, lt appeared at the hear
ing that on Thursday evening June
1st Mandigo attended a dance at
Brownington (Center and during the
night returned home in an intoxicat
ing condition and was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Frank Parlin.. Man
digo is 18 years of age and was rep
resented by Hubert Pierce. . His
memory as to where and from whom
he secured the liquor that left him
in sucn a state was not very clear
and he was remanded back to jail
for further meditation over.the mat
ter. George Rouse of Lowell was
brought before the court by County
Game Warden C. H. Atkins of Or
leans, charged with violating the
Fish and Game laws of the state on
two counts, by having in his posses
sion trout less than six inches in
length and fishincr without a licens.
The minimum fine fixed by thP eta-
-ui-cs. i eimer case s jjzo ana costs.
Had the state desired, the three small
trout would have cost the defendant
over $65. The Game Warden secur
ed three trout under size which Mr. "
Rouse had caught, the fine in such
cases is ten dollars for each offense
and five dollars for each fish.
Through the request of Mr. Atkins
who made the arrest this count was
not prossed and Mr. Rouse was re
quired to pay only the fine for fishing
without a license $25, and cost -of
$15.90 extra.
Mr. Atkins in his recommendations
believed that the law would be satis
fied and its purpose carried out with
only one fine, but issued a warning
iiiai snouid ne oe caught again he
would recommend the maximum pen
alty. It was shown that County Game
Warden Atkins on Sunday went over
into Lowell and on following along
the shore of one of the streams came -upon
Mr. Rouse fishing. Upon Mr. '
Atkins' appearance Rouse evidently
became suspicious and tried to make
his escape through the stream which
was up nearly to. his waist. ' The
officer, who like the fisherman, had
on hip boots, followed his man. On
the opposite bank , caught his victim
by the collar as he was in the act of
emptying his pail of fish back into
the stream, but with one hand At
kins fastened on to three of the
speckled beauties. Mr. Rouse was
not inclined to tell his name to the
officer, and claimed he had left his
i license at home, but on goin to his
home with tho officer nHmittn Vnf
he had never secure the necessary
document.
Another matter of business to
come before Judge Wright Monday,
was the preliminary hearing of Rob
ert Morse alias Raymond Geer who
was charged by the state of the
grand larceny of a horse, wagon and
harness of Cortis H. Woodward of
Irasburg. Mr. Morse claimed to be
only 20 years of acre and was held
-lover from last Monday's session un
der $1000 bail. At the preliminary
bearing Monday the young man was
represented by an uncle, M. G. Morse,
an attorney from Hardwick. A. W.
Farman conducted the hearing for
the state and only placed one state
witness, C. H. Woodward on the
stand. After the circumstances v sur
rounding the case had been presented
from this witness the situation pre
sented a very different aspect and
the case was not prossed.
It appeared through testimonv at
the hearing, that the young man en
gaged work on the Woodward farm
under the name of Raymond Geer
beginning his labors April 8th with
the understanding that he was to
work six months and to received $2G
per month. During his first few
weeks on the farm he worked with
Mr. Woodward's son in the fields and
Mr. Woodward was busy in the gar
den. During this he bargained with
the son for a horse, harness - and
wagon of Mr. Woodward's. As the
deal progressed the son presented the
matter to his father and got his con
sent to the trade- On May 18 Mr.
Wpodward had F. M. Sears of Iras
burg make out a conditional sale note
for $120 with the understanding that
$20 of his monthly salary be applied
on the team and he was to receive
the balance of six dollars each month
in cash.
On Monday four days after Ihe
note had been drawn up, Mr. Wood
Ward left home about 8:30 in the
forenoon, at the time young Geer was
in the field plowing. It appeared
that shortly after Mr. Woodward's
departure the hired man stopped
work and secured the horse from the
pasture ihat he had purchased and
informing Mrs. Woodward that he
was goinpr to drive to Coventry to get
a plow, he started off. Failing to
come back Mr. Woodward on his re
turn made inquiries and failed to
locate him until he and officer -Met-
calf found him at the home of his'
mother at Woodbury. Mr. Woodward
secured Jiis team also two coats that
he took with the team and Mr. Geer
was arrested on grand larceny char
ges. The appearance of the condi
tional sale note-at the hearing chang
ed the situation and the charges by
the state were nol-prossed. Mr.
Woodward claimed he did not know
the papers had been signed until af
ter lie had secured the team.
