Why?

Sweet maid, divinely fair,
Stand at the bar of my soul
And answer questions old but ever
new,
Mortals have often asked before.
Answer and tell me why
This little engine in my breast,
That sends the carnation fluid
Coursing through every vein,
Does halt a moment at sight of thee,
Then pound away with renewed en-
ergv,
Causing the crimson hue to stain
my cheek?
Or when by some happy chance
Thou dost turn thy search-light orbs
on me
And hear the gentle frow frow of
thy dress,
Or lightly touch thy hand with soft
caress,
The sky takes on fairer hue,
And the music of the song bird
Grows infinitely sweeter than ever
before?
One morn / wandered doy wood
land path,
The dew had not yet left the vernal
trees,
The sparkling drops stood trembling
on the leaves,
Soon to be absorbed by the fierce
heat of the all-beholding sun,
A quail shook a pearly drop from his
breast
And melted away on the morning
light;
And then beheld thee robed In
simple white,
A rose twined in thy wavy hair:
Unconscious all of my approach,
Thou didst trill a song that shamed
the birds, t, nu.. nvtt.
And caused my heart to still its wild
pulsations
That 1 might not lose one note
OF the liquid melody that issued
from thy throat.
That song is craven on the tablet of
my heart,
And time but the impression stronger
makes
AS the years glide swiftly by.
oh. maiden, canst thou tell me why,
At sound of thy light foot. fall,
The electric fluid flashes through
my being,
That thou art near?
The very air is surcharged with di-
vine delight .
And a sweet sublime feeling steals
DER me
That sleeps my soul in estacy
Like one who had quaffed the nectar
of the gods.
Maiden, once again ask thee,
Cans't thou tell me why?

The Potato Crop.

A short time ago the experiment station al
Burlington sent out word that the potato
blight and rot threatened to do serious dam
age in Vermont that fall. Later reports from
the same source says that the fears OF trou5 l.
were all realized. and that there has been in
fact u considerable amount of loss already 10
potato growers.
The rot follows the late blight and comes
from the same cause. Those who have late
blight in their fields therefore, are bound TO
have rot; and in all such eases special care
ought to he taken in sorting and storing the
potatoes for winter.
The experiment station still insists that
proper spraying. backed mp 10y proper Guilt
yatiou, vii! protect the potato crop from
these diseases. Continued experiments and
practiral field tests covering period OF ten
years. or more. have proved this beyond the
possibility OF doubt. Even now, in the latter
part of September, when most potato vines
are dead, aud many fields of potatoes already
dug, the experiment station potato fields are
a. green and growing as any time in July or
August; and the potato expert claims that
they are making potatoes now at the rate of
- TO 80 bushels Il week for every acre

Doctor Is suspected.
DrJ A Dow of West Topshom, is under
arrest charged with what amounts practical
" to the crime of setting fire to and destroy
ing the greater part of the business section OF
the community. He has been released under
81 600 bonds to appear at Il hearing set loi
October 2.
This recent development unexpectedly
| grows out of events about the first OF July
| when fire DESTROYED DR. BOWS house ana
barn, two stores, q church. and sefera
houses. 1t was then given out that the doe
| tor, coming home late one night. had upset
his lantern in the barn while embarrassing
his horse and that this accident was the
cause of the fire.
| DR. Dow had an insurance Of 81 900 in the
| Union Mutual of Montpelier, $500 on medi-
cines and books, and $500 on household
goods, which was paid in due time.
1t appears, however. that certain neighbors
have been suspicious OF the affair and the doc
tors connection with 1t from the very begin
ming and that they have now found about TWO
miles from there what they claim are the orig
inal books and medicines covered by this ln-
surance. They contend that it is case oil
setting the fire to get the insurance and pro-
pose tC see the affair probed to the bottom.
MEANWHILE the [ Mon Mutual has brought
suit in the Washington County court to recoS-
er the money paid DR. Dow. and ii is under
stood that the case has been brought to the
attention of the grand jury. probably for its
action based upon some OF the allegations
therein made apart from the civil nature OF
the suit. 1t is said that Dow had assigned
this insurance TO his mother, but the Union
Mutual paid the money to him before it
knew of the assignment
The whole affair has aroused great sensa-
ton. DR. Dow has many friends and in his
behalf it is claimed that the books and medi-
zines at the barn were old ones long before
taken there from his Office and OF little value.
