A gem from Rudyard Kipling with
an answer quoted from a White Rib

: A million surplus Maggies are willing
to bear the yoke.
And woman is only woman, but a
good cigar is a smoke.
Light me another Cuba,
hold to my first sworn VOWS,
If Maggie will have no rival,
I'll have no rival for spouse.
a million surplus Maggie's, where will
you find them pray,
That for yoke of smoke are aching, at
this enlightened day.?
The Maggies today are Maggies who
are not bought and sold,
For few pounds of tobacco or pot
of paltry gold.
Unto your clouded vision things are
not what they seem.
The human heart is better and fairel
than your dream.

THE LONDONDERRY SITTER.
WESTON.

Foster and Jaquith's chair shop
was burned Sunday evening at about
nine o'clock. The flames made such
rapid progress that nothing OF much
value could DO saved from the build
ing. The saw mill standing few
feet from the shop was saved and
nearly all the lumber outside was also
saved. Mr.. JaQuith was at the shop
not more than 80 minutes previous
to the discovery OF the fire and every
thing seemed to DO all right. Loss
estimated at from $4,000 to $i2. 600,
No insurance. A feeling prevails
that the fire was inccndiary. This
was intensified when ON tuesday eve.
ming IL was discovered that mn NJ
tempt had been made to fire the
buildings of Adolno Shatmck, u farm.
er living in u few rods Of the burned
mill.
The memorial sermon was preached
by Rev. Mr.. Harper at the Congrc-
gationalist church, the Post marching
from their hall to the church.
On Memorial Day the Post, Sons
of Veterans and Odd Fellows met at
the G. A. Il. Hall and, escorted by
the Weston Cornet band, marched to
the Congregationalist church when
the following programe was observed:
Music by the choir.
Reading of order.
Prayer by Rev. Mr.. Boyntom
Music by the band.
Address by Rev. Joseph Naramorc of
Bellows Falls.
Music by the choir.
After the services at the church the
procession reformed and marched to
the cemetery where the rituialistie
services of the oder were held.
The address was frst-class in every
particular and very creditable to the
speaker and was as attentively listen
ed to as outside circumstances would
permit, which will be referred to be-
low. The band, as usual, filled the
bill which they advertise and render
ed some very fine music, while the
vocal music by the choir was the best
ever had in town upon such an occa-
sion. For this and kindly assistance
rendered by others the Post returns
thanks.
The outside influences referred to
above consisted in a game of base
ball on the common, with the usual
amount of noise inseperable from
snch game, and setting up of an
ice cream booth near the church and
running 1t after fourth of July style.
These were very annoying to those
inside and were certainly untimely
and without excuse. 1t surely did
not show realization of proper OBJ
servance of the day which is one of
mourning rather than jolification.
On this day we are called TO remem-
Der those who left home, family and
friends and laid down their lives 10
assisting to save the nation. By the
boys in blue it is as sacred day as
any in the caendar-a day on which
they gather together to speak of this
and that comrade with whom they
were associated and who has been
mustered into the grand army above.
They feel that it is more like funer-
al than anything else-a day of mem
cries of the dead and should be oh
served accordingly and not as the
fourth of July.

in the hall. He did not waken the sleep

had come up from the lower regions,
and in anger at the situation presented
to his eyes, had hurled a book a. the
sleeper. The volume had proved an eff
