The DOVES AT MENDoN.


"Cool COO cool" says Arne,
Calling the doves al SendOnl
Under the vine.clad porch she st " ds
A gentle maiden with willing hands,
Dropping the grams of yellow corn.
Low and soft, like a mellow horn,
While the sunshine over her falls,
over and over she calls and calls
"Cool COO coo" to thu doves
The happy doves at Mendon,
Goo COO cool" says Arne,
Calling the doves at Mendonl
Down they fiutter with timid grace,
Lured by the voice and the tender face,
Till the evening air is all astir
With the happy strife and the eager whir.
One by one, and two by two,
And then rush through the ether blue;
While Arne scatters the yellow corn
For the gentle doves at Mendon.
"Cool COO coop' says Arne,
Calling the doves at Mendonl
They hop on the porch where the baby sits,
They come and go as a shadow fits,
Now here, now there, while in and out
They crowd and iostle each other about;
Till one, grown holder than all the rest
A snow.white dove with an arching breast
Softly lights on her outstretched hand
Under the vines at Mendon.
"Cool COO COO" says Arne,
Calling the doves at Mendon!
With a rush and a whir OF shining wings,
They hear and obey-the dainty thingsl
Dun and purple and snowy white,
Clouded gray like the soft twilight,
Straight as an arrow shot from n bow,
wheeling and circling high and low,
Down they fly from the slanting roof
Otthe old red barn at Mendon.
"Cool COO COO" says Arne,
Calling the doves at Mendonl
Baby Alice with wide blue eyes
Watches them ever with new surprise,
While she and Wag on the mat together
Joy in the soft midsummer weather.
Hitler and thither she sees them 1ly,
Gray and white on the azure sky,
Light and shadow against the green
Of the maple grove ut Mendon.
"Coo! coo, COO" says Arne,
Calling the doves at Mendonl
A sound, a motion, a flash of wings
They are gone-like dream OF heayenl
things.
The doves have flown and the porch is still,
And the shadows gather on vale and hill
Then sinks the sun, and the mountain breeze
St1rs IN the tremulous maple trees;
While Love and Peace, as the nigl
comes down,
Brood over quiet Mendon!

ADDISON COUNTY COURTN


The June term of the Addison county
court ended on Saturday afternoon after
an unusually brief session of only four
days and half, and quite little of that
time was wasted in consequence of
delays in getting cases prepared for pre-
sentation to the court. Only one civil
case was tried by jury, and not even one
criminal case was tried during the term,
although pleas of guilty were entered
by seven persons charged with crimes.
Four criminal cases were nolle-prossed
and the docket was cleared of all crimi-
nal cases save one. Seven divorces were
granted, three petitions for divorce were
dismissed after hearings and several di-
vorce cases were continued. Quite a
number of judgments were entered up
without the necessity of hearings in the
cases, and on the chancery docket four
DEGREES of foreclosure were granted, also
without hearings.
From Thursday noon until Saturday
morning almost the entire time of the
court was taken up in listening to
restals of the woes of married people
who desired to get unmarried. The first
case on was that of Olive j, Chase V.
Wilbur F. Chase. These are Bristol
parties and were married in that town
in 1876. They made out to live together
until nine or ten months ago, when Mrs.
Chase left her husband on account of
IT,, 10, III,
severity. The case occupied a good
share of Thursday afternoon, and Friday
morning the bill was granted. The
petitioner was also given the custody of
furniture was decreed to her by way of
alimony. c. NJ. Wilds appeared for the
petitioner and w. w. Rider put in a
stout defense.
Lewis LamOrder V. Emily LamOrder
came on Thursday afternoon also. This
was another case of intolerable severity,
but this time it was the woman who had
been intolerably severe. She had mis-
used Mr.. Lamorder in various ways at
various times and had even gone so far
as to threaten to split his head open with
an ak. Judge ROwell said Saturday
morning that it was rather unusual for
a man to get a divorce on this ground,
but the bill was granted for the intoler-
able severity alleged. Judge j. M. Slade
represented the husband and there was
no defense.
Leslie A. Pullman V. Marcella NJ. Pull
man came next. These parties were
married at Crown Point, n. Y, in No
vember, 1896, and Pullman has since
lived in Ferrisburgh, Rutland and Yer
gennes, being a railroad man. Mrs.
Pullman abandoned her husband about
three months after their marriage and he
was never able to induce her to return
to him. Friday morning the court gave
the decision granting bill on the
ground of desertion. Frank L. Fish for
the petitioner; no defense.
The next case was Eliza A. Bentley Y.
Milo K. Bentley, a Ripton and Salisbury
episode. Mrs. Bentley is the ex-wite of
Adelbert Hier, who two years ago last
winter was given a four-and-a-half-
years sentence in Windsor for arson. A
year ago she procured divorce under
the statute granting divorce from
person sentenced to State prison for
longer period than three years, and
last November she married Bentley. In
March she left her new husband on &C.
count of his striking her and pushing
her against doors and other such-llke

CRITIC AND POET.

VALUABLE IMPROVEMENT.
New Addition to the Sisters Hospital
Completed.

The addition to the Sisters hospital
is practically completed, and gives the
sisters most excellent convepiences for
their work. The chapel extension has
been finished, and will be dedicated
next Tuesday at 9 a. m, with high mass
by Father Pinto and other special
exercises appropriate to the occasion.
The seating capacity of the chapel has
been doubled and will comfortably hold
now perhaps 125 people. The finish is
in natural woods oiled, and the walls
and ceiling have been covered with
elegant paper in light drab tints with a
frieze of wreath work in darker and
harmonizing hues. The three chande-
liers were presented by young men in
town, and other Catholics have contri-
buted to the adOrnment of the place.
The altar tirish is attractive and Will
ton carpets to match the walls will be
laid through the center aisle. 1t is an
elegant little chapel. and the sisters
take just pride in showing the visitors
through 1t.
The new addition gives other and
much needed cOnveniences. Suites of
rooms are thus provided for the &C.
commodation of sick sisters from other
latitudes who may be sent here to
recuperate during the mild winters,
and twelve sisters can be cared for in
the new infirmary. The verandas have
been carried around so that the in
valid sisters can have the benefit of
the promenade and the sun, only this
section of the verandas is separated
from those frequented by the lay
patients. A range as large as the one
at Fort Bliss has been set up in the
basement. 1t is 81 feet square and is
equipped with all the latest improve
ments. The ovens are especially con-
venient and commodiouS. The cellar
has been cemented and will be parti-
toned off for the various conveniences
needed. The cost of the entire addi-
tion is a little over $4,000, and the
sisters are very proud of the increase
of their plant, and the economical
manner in which the money has been
expended. In time they intend build
ing north wing to the hospital, the
counterpart of the south wing. The
entire institution is g. model of neat
ness, cheerfulness and quiet elegance.

SCENIC FORT BLISS.
An Electric Car Line Would Bring the
Reservation Within Easy Reach.


If wheelmen only realized what a
fine bicycle path there is between
the cemetery road and Fort Bliss there
would be wheelmen chasing up and
/ down there a good deal. The county
and cemetery roads are in excellent
condition so that it is cement road
riding all the way. Two bicyclists
made the distance between the reser-
vation and. the S. 2. railroad track in
about six minutes last evening, and
got down into town in about twenty
minutes from the time they left the
edge of the reservation. The evening
view up there is beautiful. The jagged
hog back of the Samalayucas shows up
against the southern sky in the most
grotesque way, while below them can
be seen the misty outlines of part of
the Candelarias. The western hills
and the mountain spurs adjoining make
an attractive sight in the setting sun
Us the deepening shadows make more
noticeable the parts still lighted up
by the suns diminishing rays. Then
the lessening beams play hide and seek
with the struggling clouds of all hues
and shades, and as the sunlight fades
away, there is not that dead, leaden
pail that marks the twilight of northern
chimes, out rich plum color growing
deeper and deeper with intensifying
crimson shades until ere one realizes
it, the daylight is gone and the bright
stars are singing their nocturne, as
nature lies peaceful and still. As the
fading sunlight struck the Hueco tanks
last evening, the great rocky knob
sc emed to glow like the blending tints
of ruby and amethist, with shades OF
lavender and deep purple playing over
the face of the great plain between
1t was a lovely sight; and then the air
is so much better than down in the city
where the ''wheels of commerce. keep
the dust flying all day.
Ell PasO people don't realize what an
attractive spot they have so close at
hand in the Fort Bliss reservation. 1t
is suggestive of great park, and which
will be made the more beautiful as the
size of the garrison is increased, and
the government eXpendS more money
there. 1t will not b until there is an
electric car line running out to the re-
servatiOn, that the place will be ap
preciated as it should be. 1t will be a
lovely ride out there from this city
when this much needed enterprise has
been inaugurated. The cars might
start from the junction of El Paso and
San Antonio streets, run down the
county road to where the first road
turns off to the left, and then up the
bench in direct line to the reserva-
tlon. The run need not be over fifteen
minutes. Electric lines are coming to
be necessity in this city. 1t has been
noticed that people do great deal
more riding and trafficking in a town
where there are electric roads running
out of it. An electric line might with
profit be built down the county road in
the direction of Gsleta, to be gradually
extended to that point: and another
line might well be built up through the
smelter, and when the great Reservoir
Is built, extended to Anthony. If the

Breaking EN- in.

The street railway company is
breaking in a new lot of mules, and the
Mexican drivers are having a fine time
of it. One Aztec stands in the center
of the platform holding the reins,
while there is compadre on each side
of him each hanging onto rope as if
for dear life, the ropes being fastened
to either side ofthe bit in the mules
mouth. When his muleship yanks to
the right, the gentle aidde-camp on
the left of the charioteer, hauls in his
ribbons, and MIR. Mule is pulled around
into the prop path: and the converse
of this proposition holds true when his
mulrshtp swerves to the left. 1t is an
animated picture, especially when the
mule tries six ways for sunday" and
has the three artists behind him Jump
ing all over creation and shouting in
TOmochi, Tarahumara. Eaqui. lxicu-
atacoatln, and other dialects that OBJ
tain to the south of the Bravo. The
passengers enjoy the scene for a few
moments; but after the mule has tried
to climb over the car, through the car
and into the nearest second story
window, with the three Aztec artists
after him, the delay becomes just a
trlfle mOnOtOnous.
