The frost lies crisp on the dead brown grass and
jewels the fading trees
The wild deer losses its antlered head and shifts
at the passing breeze,
The snow Sits down from the bold old peaks and
drifts in the hollow swale
And the smoke Of the campfire floats away like a
vapory bridal veil.
The song Of the hunter smites the rocks and
breaks into echoing trills
That fainter grow as they die away in the shades
of the distant hills.
Oh, the hunters life is the life for me, away from
the world of care,
Where the rife cracks and the echoes leap through
the heart Of the mountain air,
Where the soul is free as the air of God and the
heart of the bosom leaps
And the stars keep watch through the silent night
as the man at the campfire sleeps
When the red sun peeps Ger the snow crowned
peaks like ball of eternal fame,
He Is up and away through the trackless wilds in
search Of the noble game;
He follows the trail of the fleeing elk through the
rocks on the mountain side
And stands Ger the form of the fallen king with
feeling of lordly PRIDE
sAgd the mountain lion far up the cliff sends a
growI OF defiance down
At the bold intruder of strangest form in the
garbing OF canvas brownl
Oh, the hunters life is the life for ne in the
wilds OF the mountain pass,
Where the frost lies crisp with its sparkling eyes
like gems in the dead brown grass,
Where the smoke of the campfire drifts away on
the breast Of the wintry air
And the heart beats light and the soul is free
from the talons OF clinging carel

New Zealand As 1t Is.

Every one knows that Australia
and New Zealand are trying many of
the theories of social and political re-
form, government ownership, the sin
gle tax and other equally radical ex-
periments. But who knows how
they are working in actual practice ?
Theorists and doctrinaires have
written many books on the subject,
but the practical, dispassionate,
hard-headed, experienced observer
has not been heard from. The Bos-
ton Sunday Globe began last Sunday
to publish remarkable series of let
tiers from this latter point of view by
Frank G. Carpenter, the famous trav-
eler and correspondent, whose writ
lngs from every part of the world
long have been an attractive and in
structive feature of the Globe. Mr..
Carpenter will tell of things as he
saw them, free from prejudice, and
describe fully and fairly the land sys-
TEN, labor system, the factories,
railways, farms, domestic service,
gold mines, cities, and the govern
ment of the strange, far-away land
on the other side of the world This
great series began in last Sundays
Globe, and equals the best of Mr..
Carpenters work.

A "Wonder" at Peoples Academy.

One of the brightest boys at Peo-
pies Academy tells the writer few
of the things that the students are
thankful for, as follows: That Caesar
died before he had time to write any
more Latin; that two flights of
stairs are not ten; that the janitor is
not pugilisticalIy inclined; that the
snow banks on the lawn are not high
enough to shut out the view from
the windows; that the sidewalk,
mackadamed with snow and ice,
causes pedestrians to do "the split"
act, much to the amusement of on
lockers; that the Academy building
is not a bre very; that there is no
school on Saturdays; that the his
tory of the United States-Spanish
war is not written in Latin; that the
school system in Morrisville is up to
the average of many villages larger
than Morrisvile.

The BeIqian Hare.

"The Belgian hare issue has been
met by the Massachusetts game and
fish commissioners with the report
that the National Secretary of Agri-
cultures fears dOnOt apply to Massa-
chusetts at least. It's flesh is good
to eat. Its fur is good to wear, and
its body is good to shoot at. Well
protected, the Belgian hare can pos
sibly be increased sufficiently in our

mand for something to shoot at-a
demand that must constantly in
crease with the growth of popula-
tion and the recognition of necessity
for healthful recreation. The Massa-

mark:

mails from extinction, and sportsmen
of Vermont will have a long sweet

An Old Maid,

Her eyes, like quiet pools, are clear;
Her placid face is sweet and fair
The frost Of many a vanished yea
Lies on her hair.
She has no memory of VOWS
Exchanged beneath an April moon
Nor whispered converse meath the boughs
OF rose bright June.
She never planned her wedding gown,
This sweet old maiden true and good,
For her life held no sacred crown
OF motherhood.
Yet to the shelter of her side
The little orphan children press;
IT'S known she mothers far and wide
The motherless.
The poor and suffering love her we'll.
Such ready sympathy she shows:
The sorrow burdened freely tell
To her their woes.
With fate she never wages strife;
1t must be since God knows best,
And so she lives her useful life,
Blessing and blest.
She strews the thorny path with flowers
And turns the darkness into day,
And as we clasp her hands in ours
We can but say:
'Dear friend, so rich In love and truth,
With large, warm heart and steadfast mind
Twas well for some that in your youth
The men were blind"

He will move their live stock and bag
gage. After that date everything out
side the limits will be confiscated. The

Hoosier Young Man of Destiny Has

FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,

WASHINGTON, Dec 15.-Men Of des-
tiny are becoming more common these
days. In this connection look out for
Albert J. Beyeridge. When a man begins
to win everything seems to come his
way. So the tide of fortune seems to be
running full for the Junior senator from
Indiana. That judgeship business did 1t.
Somewhere there is a beatitude for the
one who basks in the smile Of royalty;
there seems to be no doubt that Roose-
velt prefers young Mr.. Beyeridge to al
most any member of the senate. And
the young man has begun to grow and
thrive in the sunshine.
The political organization in Indiana is
breaking up. What once was q compact
machine, owned and dominated by Fair
banks, is resolving itself into it's integral
elements, and preparing for a change.
The machine was built.when there was
but one Republican senator That day
is gone. Beveridge came, and even
while Mckinley was alive, he had to be
reckoned with. He took half the Offices
But under the old reign it was the SEN
ior senator who was invited to dinner.

pidity which has dazed the cart-horse
contemporaries. He has raised up a
host of enemies among. the ungenerous
and envious; but his star of destiny seems

CONFLICT ON IN OHIO
FORCES OF FORAKER AND HANNA
APPARENTLY SUSPICIOUS OF
EACH OTHER
AFTER HOLIDAY BATTLE IS DUE
Legislative Caucuses Likely to BE
Called in the Interest OF the Se-
niOr Senator and the Re-
publican Boss.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. 15-Much in
terest is taken in the expected trip of
George B. Cox and other Republican lead
ers to Washington this week. Owing
to the contest between the friends of
Senator Foraker and of Senator Hanna
over the organization of the legislature,
there is unusual agitation all over the
state. The long distance telephone has
been In use daily between Washington
and Ohio cities, especially with certain
republicans at Columbus and Cincinnati,
and now 1t is reported that there may
be another attempt at compromise by a
conference in Washington before the Re-
publican caucuses are held at Columbus
two weeks from next Saturday.
If no compromise is made it Isl re-
ported that both Senators Foraker and
Hanna may come to Columbus after con-
gresS adjourns for the holidays to mar
shall their respective forces for the eau
Gus contests.
Senator Foraker's successor is to be
chosen on Jan. IA, and Senator Hanna s
successor two years hence. Now the
Hanna men claim that the Foraker men
proceeded after the election to form
states for the organization of both
branches of the legislature with Interior
views, notably that of the retirement
of Hanna two years hence.
The contest about two weeks ago broke
out into open conflict, and now there
are opposing tickets composed of Fora
ker and Hanna men, respectively, for
the caucuses of both the Republican SEN
ators and the Republican representatives.
The opposing candidates are not linn
tied to the presiding officers, but the fac
tional lines are carried ON down the list
to include the clerks, sergeants-at- arms
and everything. While contests are usu-
a oil y,lo
of a new legislature, there never has
been one on such lines as are drawn
at this time. Many leading Republicans
from Ohio have visited Washington the
past week, and none of them report any
prospect Of peace or compromise, so that
the indications are that the contest will
continue for almost three weeks longer.
