Dorr and Others to see if the town would
authorize the selectmen to lay covered
drain from the junction of the Bluehill

road, with its outlet on the north side OF
said road, instead of the south side as
now.
Mr.. Dorr claims that the present drain
has become clogged at its outlet and this
causes the water to break out above and
run across his premises, causing much
damage. The selectmen some time ago

Eleven to One Against the Judge.

A story is told of a we'll known judge
who is noted for his fondness for con-
veying to jurors in his charges to them
his own opinions with regard to
the merits of the case. In one
case he had done so with much
plainness, but to his amazsment
the jury remained out for hours with
out coming to an agreement The
judge inquired of the officer what was
the matter, and learned from him that
one juror was holding out against the
other eleven. He sent for the jury at
once, and stating to the jurors that he
had plainly intimated how the case
ought to be decided, said he understood
the one juror was stan ding out against
the other eleven He proceeded to re-
buke the juror sharply. The obstinate
juror was a nervous little man, and as
soon as the judge was done he arose
and said: Your honor, may ! say a
word?'' Yes, SIR" said the indignant
Judge, what have you to say?'

His Message.

When Col. Tamil blyn was commander
at Fort Fletcher, Kan, he had an
Irishman for orderly, who was noted
for his remarkable manner of twist
ing messages. One day two men who
were employed by Butterfeld's Over
land Dispatch company were killed
near the fort by Indians.
On the following day Col. Tamblyn
said to his orderly: Take my COM
pliments to the company commanders,
and tell them to notify their companies
that those two men who were killed
by the Indians yesterday will be buried
this afternoon at two o'clock, and
would like to have as many as can
make it convenient attend their
funeral"
The orderly accidentally found the
company commanders together, and
touching his cap, delivered his message
as follows: ''The colonel sends his
compliments, and directs you to notify
those two men that were killed by the
Indians that they will be buried at two
o'clock to-day, and he would like to
have as many as can make it convenient
attend their funeral"
Perceiving from the expression of
the commanders faces that something
was wrong, he touched his cap again
and said in a somewhat aggrieved tone:
There may be a joke about it, sorrs,
but if there is. it's on the colonel, for
he told me so!'-Youth's Companion

THE SOLDIERS OF THE SUN.

Along the margin Of the world
They march with their bright banners
furled,
Until, in line OF battle drawn.
They reach the boundaries OF dawn.
They cross the seas and rivers deep,
They climb the mountains high and steep,
And hurry on until in sight
or their black enemy-the night
Then madly rush into the fray
These armies Of the night and day,
Swiftly the shining arrows go,
While bugling winds their warnings blow.
Strive as he will, the night is pressed
Farther and farther down the west
With golden spear and cleaning lance
The cohorts of the day advance
Thus, daily, is the battle won
By the brave soldiers of the sun.
