L Fine Portrait for the ChittendeR
County Court House.

The portrait of Hon. Russell 3.
Taft, first associate judge of the SUI
prem court of Vermont, painted by
Julian Srutt TO Or.ler OF members of
the bar and to he hung IN The Chit.
teItieh couIiy court house in This city,
has arrived and Is now on view in tho
county clerks office where it has been
seen and admired by many of our peo-
pie.
The p rtrait is about life size and
three-quarters length. 1t represents
Judge Taft in 1t tightly -buttoned
frock coat standing at the end of the
Judges bench. The left hand which
holds a sheet of manuscript, rests
lightly on the bench. The right, in
which apair of Eyeglasses are held, is
making Il slight gesture. The face is
turned slightly TO the right. The en-
tire attitude is unconstrained, liGelike
and emincntly characteristic. In the
face the artist has achieved a grand
success. 1t is a speaking likeness
splendid reproduction OF Judge Taft's
thoughtful, intellectual, manly fea-
lures. The portrait is natural and
lifelike enough TO almost step down
from the frame. 1t is greatly adj
mired by all who have seen it, and
the subject, the artist and the donors
are to be most cordially c%ongratu-
lated.
The portrait is enclosed in a mag
nificent gilt frame, SO by &C, TO the
lower portion OF which is TO be at
tached a plate bearing an appropriate
Observation-Disclosures News.

WHERE FORTUNES ARE STORED.
A Look at the Strong Room of Great
New York Bank.

new xOAh DSAA"s
No little dramatic interest is latent
in these huge boxes of heavy masonry,
of the dimensions of large room, with
their thousands of interior safes, each
with its own locks of various COM
plexity and strength. In single
vault on Broadway there are l5,Ooo
compartments, from size just SUI
ficient to contain dozen railroad
bonds to the huge caverns Of masonry
that hold tons upon tons of silver and
gold.
The main doors which furnish en-
trance to the great box are the points
on which the utmost mechanical skill
is lavished. No burglar would ever
think Of trying to effect an entrance
through the walls. If he disposed OF
the Waterman who tramps around
the outside in little alley between
the outer walls of the building and
the vault, it would require days to
drill sufficient holes to take solid
piece out of the wall. But if a burglar
can only overcome the lock of one OF
the main. doors, there is the entrance
ready-made. These doors are mar
vellous. One Of them weighs fifteen
tons. They are constructed by weld,
ing together layers Of different hard
metals, sometimes seven distinct kinds,
so that if an ingenious burglar finds
way of plefcing the first, an entirely
different problem confronts him at the
second, and so on. At any moment
his drill is likely to make connections
with an electric alarm, which not only
raises the guards Of that vault, but
tells the Waterman of half a dozen
others, some mile away, that trouble
is at hand. But even if the lock were
overcome the monster doors would not
open, because large section of the
stone floor has to be sunk down by an;
electrisal device before. the bottom pf
the doors ARE above the masonry.
Just above each door appears an ON
looking pipe; it can, in the
event of burglarious efforts, belch
forth boiling water and steam on the
assailants below.-C. D. Lanier in
Scribner's.

The town of Hay Is far away,

The town of Hay Is far away.
The tc,sn Of Hay is far.
Between its hills OF green and gray
Its winding meadows are.
Within the quiet town OF Hay
Is many quiet glen,
And there by many shaded way
Are homes Of quiet men;
And there are many eyes Away
That turn with longing night and day,
Back to the town of Hay.
Within that good old town OF Hay
There was no pride of birth,
And no man there pursued his way
A stranger in the earth.
And none were high and none were low
OF golden hair or gray,
And each would grieve at others woe
Down in the to:Tn OF Hay.
And many trci soul today,
Mid crowded thousands far away,
Weeps for the town Of Hay
A road leads from the town of Hay
Forth to a world OF din,
And winds and wanders far away,
And many walked therein,
For in tho crowds of toll and stress
Their restless footsteps stray,
Their souls have lost the quietness
OF that old town Of Hay.
But in some respite of the fray,
In transient dreams they float away
Back to the town of Hay.
Old men arc in the town Of Hay,
Amid its quiet trees,
Who dream of strong sons far away
Upon the stormy seas,
Old mothers when the twilight dew
The woodbino leaves has pearled,
Dream of their boys who wander through
The Wilderness of the world.
And tears fall in the twilight gray,
And prayers go up at close OF day,
In that old town Of Hay.
A hillside in the town of Hay
Is slanting toward the sun
And gathered meath it, headstones gray
Are sleepers one by 6n3p'
And there are tears in distant lands
And grief too deep for tears,
And farewells waved from phantom hands
Across the gulf Of years,
And when they place that headstone gr'
1t brushes hearts so far away
From that old town of Hay.
