Life in a Corner of Yankeeland. By Rowland E. Robin¬ 
son. Cloth. 187 pages. Price, $1.25. 
The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha 
Peggs, bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman’s 
exchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it, 
the hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh¬ 
borhood used to meet of evenings and dull outdoor days 
“to swap lies. ’

One of the Scarcest of Government Publica¬ 
tions Pertaining to Zoology is Dr. 
CouEs' Monograph Entitled 
FUR BEARING ANIMALS 
The book is scarce and eagerly sought for 
by zoologists, but it is offered for sale only 
rarely and is about as hard to obtain as Mr. 
Gurdon Trumbull’s “Names and Portraits of 
Birds.’’ 
Dr. Coues’ book deals with the wolverine, the 
martens or sables, the ermine, the mink and 
various other kinds of weasels, several species 
of skunk, the badger, the land and sea otters, 
and many numerous exotic allies of these ani¬ 
mals. It is illustrated by 6o figures on 20 plates. 
We have just secured a copy of this work in 
good condition which we offer at $4.50.

Taunton, Mass., April 20. — The outdoor shooting at the 
rifle range in Westville was opened under most favorable 
weather conditions on Monday. It was the first prize 
contest for members of the Taunton Rifle Club. The 
attendance was not large, but the range was busy all the 
morning. Some good scores were made at 200yds., for the 
first work of the season. Four prizes were offered. G. 
S. Harrington took first with the top score of 22 out of 
a possible 25 for five counting shots. Second prize was 
won by Col. A. B. Hodges, who outranked F. W. Boyn¬ 
ton with 21, the latter taking third prize. I. A. Brown 
and \V. A. Gifford were tied for fourth prize with strings 
of 20, and the award will be decided later. T he men 
were entitled to re-enter as many times as they desired. 
There were many scores turned in that fell below the 
winning marks.

articles of value removed, the telephone service rendered 
useless, both at the house and at the target pit, and sev-
