A Soldiers Sweetheart.

A fash of red and roll of drums,
My heart and "the strength together
Bound East" but since that and RI,

There is a home at the other side OF the
world
Shall the hearts tina, YOU leave he
lonely!
And when il is summer the whole year

Where the blues ncver-falling above

You will never forget, were it twice as
bright,
True blue Of the eyes that levc you,
For the soldiers sweetheart follows the

That beats round the world like
thunder.
There was never call tn arms. my dear
That could tear true souls asundcr.
And when Captain Death on the last

The last word OF command shall have
spoken,
Our hearts shall follow your muiiled
drums.
Nor deem that the links are broken.
For you go the way that all heroes
went
In the track of their deathlees muster:
Sword sheathcd, sweetheart. and the
days march is done.
You shall rest where Gods camp-fircs

passed through Springfield, Mo, late in

Z o'clock, we crossed the Mississippi
river at Memphis, Tenn. From there we
went to Birmingham, Ala, where we
changed cars, the only time on our trip.

Need of Covering During Sleep.

The reason it is necessary to be we'll
covered while sleeping is that when the
body lies down it is the intention of ma
ture that it should rest, and the heart
especially should be relieved of its regu-
lar work temporarily. So that organ
makes ten strokes minute less than
when the body is in an upright posture.
This means 600 strokes in 60 minutes.
Therefore in the eight hours that man
usually spends in taking his nights rest
the heart is saved nearly 5, 600 strokes.
AS it pumps six ounces of blood with
each stroke, it lifts 10000 ounces less
of blood in this night S session than it
would during the day, when a man is
usually in an upright position. Now,
the body is dependent for it's warmth on
the vigor of the circulation, and as the
blood flows so much more slowly through
the veins when one is lying down the
warmth lost in the reduced circulation
must be supplied by extra coverings

Grout for Congress.

The EVENING TELEGRAM has no axe
to grind in the matter of posto1fice APP
Dointments or other federal offices, and
is therefore favoring the return of Con-
Gresham William W. Grout to Congress
simply from higher and better grounds.
There has been much mud throwing
about the Grout family and that they
have too long occupied lucrative posi-
1ion~ in the state. Whatever argument
cam be advanced that is legitimate we
will cndeayor to answer, but because
there happen TO be two members of the
same family who have been honorcd
with office, should that be the sole rea-
son why one of them should meet with
defeat? We agree with many of the
state papers that lG years is enough for
any man to occupy seat i'll Congress,
and if this war ends before the election
of 1900, this paper may, if under its
present management, support some other
man than William W. Circuit for Con-
grcsS, but this year, it is the humble
opinion of this paper that it would be
poor policy for this district to send a
new man to represent us in the lower
branch of Congress-. Circuit has won Il
high place among his fellow Congress
men for Il good legislator, and is rccog-
nizcd as Il competent official by even
those on the other side of the House of
Representatives 70 send new man
to Congress this year would reflect upon
the GOOD judgement of Ncrmonters. We
feel safe in predicting that the voters OF
this district will return William W.
Circuit aS his own successor, and that
when his next term expires Hon. Frank
Plumlcv of Mortified will be asked to
succeed him. We have the highest re-
card for Judge Read and remember
that he wore the blue during the Civil
War. SO did Circuit, and he volunteered
while some other men did not. BY all
means, the republicans of Barre, WASH
ington county and the Second district
will vote for William W. Circuit.

1T has been o heavy load. l have

that she wants the States Attorneyship

cannot have both. Well, perhaps there
is q difference. What is it? Has
Barre not as much right to ask for these
two offices as has Montpelier? But
then our sister city never had many Of
fees. Give her about one hundred
moro, this might satisfy her. Barre is
willing to aid Montpelier Republicans
in landing Rowland, but dislike very
much to be told by so small a city rs
oar ncighbor what we can have and
what we can not have. DO they settle
the whole affairs Of the countvo If so,
why not let Montpelier Republicans
meet and make up the ticket? We are
moi willing to believe that Montpelier
would make the statement that Barre
cannot have but one office, The largest
city in the county should have its share.
