The lonel y strip of road between
Norwalk and Westport familiarly called
“Peat Swamp,” and celebrated for the
number of mysterious shootings and
hold ~ups that have occurred in that 10-
cality in years past, was the scene of
another shootingWednesday afternoon,
which while it did not result fatally,
resulted in two boys being uncomfort-
ably filled with bird shot.
Charles Johnson and WeddieVVasson,
two pupils of Whitlock’s school in Wil-
ton, were walking along the road near
the “Swamp,” when suddenly the re-
port of a gun rang out and both became
conscious that they had been shot by
an unknown shooter.
The boys were not much hurt but
badly scared, and beat a. hasty retreat
for the Whitlock school. Here an ex-
amination was made, and it was found
that Johnson had received sixteen
shots in his body and one in his face
while Wasson had two in his hand.
All of the wounds were superficial
and no serious results are feared, but
it was an uncomfortable experience for
the lads.
Neither of them saw the party who
fired the shot, and neither of them was
aware of the presence of a shooter until
they heard the report of the gun and
felt the stinging sensation of the leaden
pellets as they struck him.

THE TALE OF A DOG.
One of the Cases Where Kaiser Did Not
Buy the Canine.
Orville Brown, the hustler of Belden
Hill, likes to buy and sell things. The
sale of seventy or eighty feet of a tall
oak that from a little acorn grew is
his idea of pleasure; the handling of a
road-machine recreation, while trading
horses is more fun than going fishing.
But when he journeyed to Bridgeport
last fall and bought a dog that was dif-
ferent. That dog, was good to look at,
and when he sat out in front of the
house and 'bossed the children, and
even barked at the boss himself,0rville
proclaimeddoggie as a member of the
family with all the rights and privil-
eges thereof. So when a- man named
Kaiser from over in York State came
down to buy a pair of horses he gazed
upon that dog with envious eyes and
finally claimed that it was one that had
been stolen‘ from him several weeks be-
fore. As Mr. Brown had owned the
dog for at least six months he natural-
ly doubted the statement, and kept his
eye on his pet until the horse trade
was consummated, and the purchaser on
his way to Vista, or thereabouts. But
the next day Kaiser, like the cat came
back and in the absence of Mr. Brown
took the dog away with him. Now Mr.
Brown has consulted a lawyer and this
story will be continued.

"INJURIoU’s BL‘Ack’soARDs. ‘
White Ones Coming Into Use—Considered
Better for the Children’s Eye’s.
War is being made in some quarters
on the abominable blackboards in use
in public schools very generally. It is
a well-established fact that the worst
color on the eyes is black, and even
tailors, when men’s clothing used to be
made by hand, were accustomed to
charge more for making a suit of black
clothes than any other, for the reason
that the color was so much more in-
jurious to the‘ eyes.
Experiment, in the color of so—called
blackboards have been made with a
View of determining what color isleast
injurious to the eyes of children, and
it has been proved that some shade of
cream white, a dead surface of soft,
mellow tint, varied in its degree of
whiteness to suit the quality and quan-
tity of light, is preferable to all or any
other. The crayons to be used on such
boards should be of a clear, sky-blue
color, a canary orange of a clear dark
green.
In schools where this modern board
has been introduced in place of the old
black surface, with its white chalk,
there has been not only an improve-
ment inuthe eyes of the children who
have had to use such boards, but a
great increase in the amount of atten-
,tion they have given to exercises on the
board, by reason of the greater ease
with which their interest could be re-
tained. When so much can be so easi-
ly accomplished it seems almost crimi-
nal to retain in use the old blackboard.
It has done injury enough to entitle it
to be retired—Chicago News.

AN EARNEST PAINTER.
Sir Frederick Leighton Taught One of
0111‘ Artists 3 Valuable Les-Inn.
An eminent American artist, who
is now an old man, has never forgot-a
ten the lesson he learned from Sir
Frederick Leighton in his youth.
Leighton was then a brilliant and fas-
c1nating young painter, whose future
was still before him. He was at work
upon an Italian landscape, or upon a
picture with an Italian background.
In that background he was anxious to
introduce an olive tree. He remem-
bered a tree which he had seen in the
south of Italy, and remembered it
quite distinctly enough to reproduce
it, but he was not content to trust his
memory.
The American artist remembers how
his way to southern Italy, making the
long journey from England for the ex-
press purpose of studying that olive
tree and of taking home an exact
sketch of it, and he remebers also
how, four or five weeks later, the ar-
dent young Englishman, brilliant, en—
thusiastic, versatile, but with a capac-
ity for taking pains, reappeared with a
wonderful sketch of the olive tree, up-
on which he had spent days of unbro-
ken observation and work. From this
little incident the American student
learned a lesson, which he never for—
got, and which went far to secure the
success which came to him later in life.
The story illustrates the great quality
which lies behind all real success, alike
for the man of genius and the man of
talent—Outlook.
\Villie Talks.
"Do you think,” said Miss Cayenne,
"that the Senate talks too much?”
“Yes,” replied Willie Wishington;
“and what worries me is the fact that
there is almost as much danger of talk-
ing too much about talking too much
anything else.”—Washington Star.
