RUTLAND VT, May 6-p. J. Reardon
was fined $50 and costs in the Municipal
Court this evening for illegally voting at
the last village election. He is minor
and the penalty was made light as the
Judge thought he had strong pressure
brought to bear on him. This prosecu-
ton grows out of the contest over the
trustee from ward I, and other arrests are
expected to follow. The matter creates
excitement as ReardOn voted for Trustee
O'llcrne who was declared elected by one
majority, and whose seat is contested.

THE DEAD WORKER,

Poor hands, fold them on her breast,
30 hard, SO brown, so coldl
They have done their work and have won thei
rest,
Tho they won no gold,
Theirs was battle for bread
How they struggled and grappled and bled
Poor hands! fold them gently, for they
Once lay in q mothers breast
ALI dimpfed and pink and costly
As birds in a nest,
And a mothers heart once le, pt
As into her bosom they crept
Poor hands! give them flowers to carry
Down into the grave, for trey
Were too work-wOrn and too world weary
To pause by the way
And pluck them; bring lilies and roses
And fill the stiff fingers with posies.
Poor feet! when the way was cold
And winding and nettle strewn,
We passed them by with only a sigh
For the blood-prints under the moon;
Now that the life blood is froze
Bring the warm CATERS and hose.
Poor eyes, close them too-how they stare
Nay! place no gold on that brow,
1t was lack of that made the burrows there,
She needs none now,
She goes to the mansion whose floor
Is paved with the costliest ore.
Poor eyes! no leisure they had
10 look up at the sky
And see if twas blue, as the poet said,
But now they see.
To-day they are not 30 dim
But that they will open on Him.

THE Birth OF A ROSE.
By uNN1r WILSON wAppEIL.


the walls of prison, cold and bare,
A robin went fitting, blithe and free:
1t bore in its bill with motherly care
Food for its young in the maple tree.
And as it flew with fluttering wing,
1t dropped from its mouth a seed to earth,
The seed of a rose, a tiny thing,
That rooted and grew in the verdant turf.
It clasped the wall with its tendrils soft,
And upwards clambered its weary way;
1t held its delicate head aloft,
And fairef grew each summer day.
Far up in the wall two sad, dark eyes
Looked out from a grated windows gloom
10 ~aocn with an eager, strange surprise,
The rose tree climb to that lonely room.
20, Godr' the white lips murmured low,
"Haster, pray, the flowers birth,
Oh, winds of the south, that sweetly blow,
Strengthen its roots in The heart of earth"
And the plying Father heard the prayer.
And the rose tree grew with royal will,
Until it blossomed, a white rose fair,
In the evenings hush, on his window sill.
B1t into the gloom of that lonely cell
Had come unbidden guest whose breath,
Cold rs the north wind, icy fell
On the prisoners brow, and his name wal
Death.
And the dying eyes looked out to see
The rose. as the sun sank into the west
And he said, Let my white rose die with me,
So they plucked it and laid it on his breast.
And 10. when the moon rose slowly up,
The dead mans fingers were lightly prest
Around the faded waxen cup
OF a withered rose on his breast.

A Goddess Turned to CLAW,

Boston Record.
A Boston lady who returned from the
White mountains last week told the his
torian about an interesting experience
that she had when she went there. She
was greatly taken on the train going to
the mountains with young woman on
the seat in front of her, who was in form,
in face, in bearing, veritable Juno.
During the long ride she built many
airy castles of imagination around the
form Of this godlike young person. She
tried her on as society queen, but she
looked rather too sweet and unworldly to
be that. She tried her as countess
travelling in the United States, but she
didn't seem exactly foreign. The lady
couldn't make anything else of her than
a princess-an ideal princess, travelling
incognito.
By and by her sojourning place was
reached and what was her delight to see
the beautiful young woman alight and
go to the hotel where she herself
stopped.
"Now I shall have an opportunity to
know her, perhaps, or find out who she
is" said the lady to herself.
That night at dinner the Boston lady
seated herself at the table and began
peering about among the guests to see
if the one who had charmed her so COM
pletely on the train was there. Sudden
~ she heard the voice of the waiter girl
over her shoulder
"Soup, ma'am ?"
She looked up at the girl. Heavens
and earth! It was her Juno, her prin-

The Remarkable Story of the Mayor Of

Santa Cruz Sentinel.
"Ding, dong, dingI' cane in silvery
tones from Mayor Efrey's vest pocket
as he and Sentinel reporter stood lean
ing against a newly painted fence on
Pacific avenue, Wednesday night, dis
cussing the political situation. When
twelve mysterious sounds had been
struck the ringing ceased. The repor-
ter asked if his honor carried minia-
ture fire alarm in his pocket. mo, my
boy" said the mayor, taking out an
open-faced gold watch from his pocket.
This is watch with a history. The
case of the watch is of plain exterior, ut
terly devoid of any ornaments. The
figures denoting the hours are large, and
the hands of the finest workmanship.
There are no second hands on the dial,
while the works are of the most delicate
kind. Now for its history as learned
from the gentleman who stands at the
head Of the municipal affairs of Santa
Cruz. The watch was made in Stras-
burg, under the shadow of the great
cathedral, by mechanic who for five
long years labored patiently to make q
time piece which would sound each hour.
By diligence he succeeded in accom-
plishing his object. Being a personal
friend of Butcher he presented that IA
nous general with the watch. Before
proceeding further it may be well to
state that the watch was made in 1911.
Butcher carried it with him in all of his
campaigns, and on one occasion he had
in disguise been skirmishing around to
ascertain the movements of the French,
and had crept close to the enemy'f
camp when the watch commenced h
ring. This alarmed the guards, who
fired at the retreating officer, and one Of
the bullets struck the watch, which still
bears two indentaions showing where
the bullets had stuck. Butcher safely
made his escape, and soon was within
his cwn lines. On the field Of Waterloo
the watch was lost as Butcher rode uE
with his men to the relief Of Wellington
After the celebrated battle the watcf
was recovered from pile Of debris BY
an English soldier, and, strange to say
although the watch had been trxmped
over BY hundreds Of men,. it rang out tn
