I am that Helen that very Helen
or Leda born in the days of old:
Mems hearts were as inns that might dwell in;
Housoless L wander tonight and cold
Because man loved me, god takes pity,
My ghost goes waiting where was queen!
Alas, my chamber in Troys tell city,
My golden couches, my hangings green
Wasted with fire are the halls they built me-
And sown with salt are the streets trod 49,
Where flowers they scattered, and spices split
me-
Alas. that Zeus is "a jealous god!

With Paris kisses my lids were holden,
Nor guessed /, when life went my WILL
That the Fates, behind me, went softier still.

lsham--Griffith.

Levi Dexter Isham OF Bellows Falls and
Miss Pearletta Griffith were married at the
residence of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. B. Griffith, East Lempster, N.
H., Thursday, May ID.
At high noon the bridal couple descend
ed into the parlor at the familiar strains of
the bridal march. "Lohengrin," which was
played throughout the ceremony by Miss
Dilla Isham Of Keene, sister of the
groom.
The bride was very prettily attired in a
dress of white cashmere, with pearl pas
sementerie and lace, with a wreath of white
flowers in her hair. Rev. George Hudson,
pastor of the Methodist church at PIER
pont, N. H., was the officiating clergyman
assisted by his son, Rev. VIM. A. Hudson,
pastor of the local Methodist church. The
bride has been very successful school
teacher, and the groom is employed as fire.
man for the Rutland railroad. The pres
ents were costly and numerous. Only the
immediate relatives and friends were pres
ent. Mr.. and Mrs. Isham will make their
home on Atkinson street, Bellows Falls.

HOW MUCH BID?

Through an error in the makeup the fol-
lowing was omitted at the end of the article
on the Springfield electric road on the
second page of this issue.
this amount was paid in. However this
clause of the statute seems hardly appli.
cable for the act Incorporating the COMPANY
which passed the legislature in 1894 saws
that the capital stock shall be $4,000
which sum may be increased by the consent
OF stockholders holding at least two-thirds
OF the capital stock issued; that of the
wa, 1000 S15, 200 must beIsubscribed and at
least $3.50 paid in before beginning the
construction of the road So it is very
likely that the directors are all right in
this matter. Then again, the statement
was made that only $54, 900, had been
paid in; two-thirds of this is $36 900, and
for all debts contracted above this amount
the directors are personally responsible
lhe public are not supposed to know Just
how heavy the debts Of the company are,
but there are not many who do not believe
they are IN excess of $36, 900, and prob
ably few who do not think they are in ex-
cess of twice this amount.
If a deal can be made whereby some
other company buys the road or takes it as
gift and assumes the indebtedness, Of
course the directors are saved; otherwise
there is promise of some interesting litiga-
ton.

"Heart of the Green Mountains"

The above is the name of fine publica-

1t is in the form of paper covered maga-
zine Of 156 pages, by II inches, contains
nearly 80 large photo half tones and crayon
reproductions and $4,000 words of text.
While the primary object of this book is of
course intended as an advertisement, it
not only well serves its purpose in that
direction, but as means of instruction and
guide through the state, it is also most
valuable, and the officers Of the road, P.
W. Clement, president, H. A. Hodge,
traffic manager, and E. B. Aldrich, general
passenger agent, in sending out such an
excellent publication should naturally feel
very proud of this their first efforts in this
line. One copy will be sent to anyone on
receipt OF 12 two-cent stamps.

9.15 Wednesday evening and taking MS

heard walking about for some time after

and Mr.. Holden whichever arose first to
call the other. That morning, Thursday,
Mr.. Holden called Coolidge and receiving
no reply thought he had already gone, but
on stepping to the side door found it still
locked.
He then went half way up stairs and
called but no reply. Then he went in to
the room and saw something had happened
and went out again for DIR. Richardson and
then for Mr.. Davis. DR.. Richardson asked
at once what he had been taking but Mr..
Holden secuted the idea. The doctor said
it might be apoplexy but that Coolidge was
not a subject for it as he was tall and thin.
Dressing case was opposite bed and an
envelope was found stuck into crack in it
with few grains of opium adhering to it.
That at once told the story and it appears
that after he retired he took the opium and
reaching over to the dressing case thrust in
the envelope as one could easily who had
long arms. Mrs. Holden noticed the
absence of the photograph before men,
toned and then box was discovered ad-
dressed to the girl and the money near it
to pay the express. In the box were the
letters written by her to Coolidge, ring,
etc, with the unsealed note on top, also "a
pair OF cuff buttons which she had given to
him at some previous time. DR.. Newton
was sent for and all was done possible, but
there was lite hope from the first.
At 2 P. NJ. they thought he would recover
consciousness but he did not and sank
again; just before be died he opened his
eyes but still remained unconscious, dying

SUICIDE IN WALPOLE,

Leon Coolidge Takes His Own Life-Worked
In G. G. Davis Drug Store -Unrequted
Love Supposed to be the Cause.
The quiet town of Walpole was deeply
shocked to learn Thursday morning of the
attempted suicide of Leon Coolidge, who
since last October has been employed as
a clerk in G. c. Davis drug store. Since
being in Walpole he had boarded and
roomed with E. M. Holden on Main street,
and Wednesday night retired as usual.
Thursday morning he was called by Mr..
Holden but did not respond, and Mr..
Holden went to the room and found the
young man unconscious. Drs. Richardson
and Newton were summoned but all in
vain, it was found that powdered opium
had been taken probably on going to bed
the night before he lived, however, until
about Z o'clock in the evening but never
regained consciousness.
The deceased was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Orrin Coolidge of Felchville and was
tallthin man of light complexion. Since
living in Walpole he had been industrious,
but of quiet and retiring nature, and was
quite generally liked. He was only 20
years of age. Some six years ago his par
ents, who are both deaf and dumb, resided
in Bellows Falls and lived in the tenement
in the upper part of the Lockwood house
on School street and in Shuttleworth's s
house on the Old Terrace. His father is a
painter and was employed by the Vermont
Farm Machine company. Young Leon
attended school here.
Besides father and mother the deceased
leaves sister, Mrs Gardner of Felchville /;
an uncle, H. o. Coolidge in Brattleboro j;
and two uncles in Rutland one in the BIZ
cycle business and the other a lawyer, A.
G. Coolidge, Esq.
The members of the family took the re-
mains to Felchville last evening on the
o'clock train and the funeral will be held
Sunday.
The cause assigned for the deed is dis
appointment in love. Apackage of letters
from young lady in Chester was found in
box in the young mans room, and in the
same box letter addressed to the young
lady, an engagement ring. as supposed,
and note saying he should be dead either
Wednesday night or Sunday night, and
stating that he exonerated her from all
blame in the matter. The ring was sci
with an opal and two diamonds and the
theory is that there had been an engage.
ment which had been broken by the return
OF the ring.
There is every indication that the suicide
was premeditated. For some time he ha6
looked sad and distracted, and only few
days ago asked his employer, Mr.. Davis
how much opium was necessary to kill &
person. He had also made other remarks
of similar nature which indicated that b,
was pondering the matter.
THE STORY IN DETAIL.
1t is reported that the young lady o
whom he was enamoured works in Chester
but her home is in Felchville, and is be
tween 16 and Is years Of age. Young
Coolidge had her photograph on his dress
ing case always. Talked about her to Mr.
and Mrs. Holden and wrote to her often
using Mr.. Holden's desk in the sitting
room. About five weeks ago Coolidg,
bought the ring. an opal and two diamonds
showed it to Mr.. and Mrs. Holden ant
then went up Sunday to Chester, returning
