Fined For Catching small Trout.

A few days ago man was caught fish
ing and having five small trout, he was
requested to call upon Judge Worden.
He paid So and costs. Last Saturday three
men were found fishing, who had 81 small
front in their possession. They were in
troduced to the Judge by the fish wardens.
They paid SCI and costs, amounting to
about $40. The fish wardens have been
active in enforcing the law in this town,
and it would seem as though people would
be careful about taking small trout. We
have refrained from publishing the names
of the violators, but propose, in the future,
to give the names i'm full
The heavy showers have greatly i'm
proved the looks of grass and other crops.
j. n. Plumb has several men working
upon his new barn, He hopes to get it up
Saturday.
The fish wardens expect to put 10000
small trout from the state hatchery in the
streams of this town.

Archie MeIen's Barn struck by Light
ming and Burned.


ming and Burned.
One of the severest thunder storms eX-
perenced here for many years was that of
last Tuesday afternoon, during which
Archie Mellen's barn was struck by light
ming and burned to the ground. Mr. Mel
len was sitting on his piazza when the bolt
came and he says that instantly small
door in the upper story burst open, fol-
lowed by smoke and flames, while the
nearer neighbors saw flames running the
length of the ridge pole. Mr.. Mellen had
just time to get his horse out when the
whole inside seemed to be on fire. The
neighborhood was rallied and by the hard
est work the house was saved, water being
brought from nearby brook. The wind
blew the flames toward the house and the
heat was intense. The rain came down in
torrents, while the continual flash of light
ming and the crash of thunder added to the
excitement. Had it happened in the
night the house would have burned. Mr..
Melen's house was burned a few years
ago and then rebuilt. The barn just
burned is also new. 1t was insured with
contents for 5000. The horse, a hog and
hens were all that were saved. Several loads
of new hay were burned, with farm tools,
wagons, etc. Mrs. Mellen was in Brattle-
boro and knew nothing of the fire until
she came home. The slate roof on the L
of the house and shed was badly damaged
by the heat.

Miss Cordelia Moore, of Malone,
N. Y, until recently, has been a
lifelong invalid from palpitation
of the heart and weakness of the
blood.
Physicians were puzzled over
her case, their most skillful efforts
were baffled. Various remedies
were tried without avail. The pro-
verbal "change of climate" was
advised, but the constant change
wore upon her until, to quote her
mothers words, "she became a
living ghost" Miss Moore said;
Upon advice of a friend l began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People and before the first
box was used 1 noticed a great
change. l began to regain my
appetite and felt better generally.
After finishing the first box 1 took
six more. The effect was wonder
full. 1 grew strong and gained in
flesh. l never felt better in my
life than DO now. Welgn more
than ever before and l consider
myself cured. "

A SONG OF MEMORY.

IA the tumult Of cities she slips away,
But wherever the woods are green
Wy half-closed petals OF life expand
At the touch Of the tender queen;
For she comes from the land OF youth,
Ere / drank OF the fount of tears.
With the gold OF the jasmine upon her
brow,
And the light Of the vanished years!
She has shed the rays of her sun
bright face
When my soul was in deep eclipse,
And has blown the dust OF my
thoughts afar
With the rose breath of her lips
For she comes from the land of youth,
Ere I drank of the fount of tears,
With the gold Of the jasmine upon her
brow,
And the light Of the vanished years.
She has led me back to the hills OF
home,
BY Arcadian woods and streams.
And has clothed the grace of the days
gone by
In a vesture born of dreams;
For she comes from the land of youth,
Ere I drank Of the fount Of tears,
With the gold of the jasmine upon her
brow,
AID the light Of the vanished years.

at the expense of the president, and
who was finally the cause of his death.

AN IRREPREssIBLE SONG.
Story of Its Popularity for Three
Quarters of a Century.

1t was on June 20, 1919, that one Of
the most popular songs OF the century
was born. It's author, Thomas Dunn
English, was visiting in New York,
and n. r. Willis, who, with George p.
Morris, was editing the New Morror,
asked him for gratuitous contribu-
ton, and suggested that it be a sea
song. DR.. English promised one, and
on returning to his home attempted to
make good his word. Only one line that
smacked of the sea came at his Did
ding; but at a white heat he composed
the five stanzas of Ben Bolt" as it
now reads, betraying the original in
tention in the last line OF the last
stanza.
Within year the poem had been re-
printed in England, and its author then
thought it might be still greater fav
orite if set into appropriate music.
Domlnick NJ. II. Hay wrote an air for
it. which was never printed; and Dr..
English wrote one himself, which, al
though printed, had no sale.
Ii was written entirely for black
keys In 1913 a play was brought out
of Buena Vista. in which the song of
Ben Bolt was introduced. A. NJ,
Hunt, an Englishman connected with
western journalism, had read the
words in an English newspaper and
gave them from memory to Nelson
Kneass, filing in from his magma
ton where his memory failed.
Kneass adapted a German melody to
the lines, and they were sung in the
play. The drama died but the song
survived A music publisher of Gin
cinnati obtained the copyright, and it
was the business success OF his career.
In theaters, concert-rooms, minstrel
shows and private parors, nothing was
heard but Ben Bolt 1T was ground on
hand organs, ana whstled in The
streets, and Sweet Alice" became the
pet of the public A steamboat in the
west and a ship in the east were
named after her The steamer was
blown up and the ship was wrecked;
but Alcei aoated safely in the fragile
bark Of song.
The poem went abroad and obtained
great popularity in England. The
streets OF London were flooded with
PAROLES, answers and limitations,
printed on broadsides and sung
and sold by curbstone Ministries,
A play was written there, based upon
il, and as late as 1877 a serial novel ran
through a London weekly paper Of
note. in which the memories evoked
by the singing Of Ben Bol.' played a
prominent pert In evolving the catas-
rrphe or course every one knows
Of it's more recent revival in Du Maur-
iers famous novel - Boston Tran
script.
