General Greene's DiscipIine.

General Greene's DiscipIine.
General Francis Vinton Greene was
one OF the strictest disciplinarans in
all the army that went out to fight
spain. He was in command Of the Sew
enty-frst regiment, N. G. N. Y. at
Camp Black. near Hampstead. N. Y.
AS the regiment was breaking camp
on the way to the front an old gentle
man interrupted General Greene, who
was talking with the writer.
"''lr,' he said. "wtll you grant brief
leave of absence t. Mr.. Blank. a pri.
vate in this regiment? He is a son of
thu late Colonel Blank of the army.
His mother is dying, and she is asking
for her buy. He will join his command
at Tampa"
am very sorry. SIR" replied Gen.
eral Greene. "but it will be impossible
to devia'e in any case from the rnle
by which we are all bound. NV own
father lies dying at home, vet | cannot
go to him."
And General Greene. as a matter Of
fact. did not for many weeks see his
father, who died before the SPANISH
war was ended.

BARRE, VT, MARCH IS, 1901

10 the thoughtful person, the prev
alence OF slang both in spec. h and in
print, causes one to stop and inquire
whittier are we tending? At the same
Time that it casts sharp reflections
upon many and varied institutions of
learning. The Boston Journal com.
ments as follows: Mr. Reid is not
the only influential man ia arms
against slang. He is only one OF
leglon-a saving legion, as we shall
see. Slang is one of the present fads.
Never before was slang popular. To-
day there are whole books of slang,
and these books, strange to relate,
are generally read by persons who
pride themselves on the cultivation of
their tastes. These persons, in their
conver Sation and ia their writings,
take care, as a rule, to avoid slang,
but they find pleasure in book Shiny
with slang. This pleasure, therefore,
arises from a species of affecta.ion
indeed we may say persersi m. For
what these persons would not be
guilty of doing themselves they ap-
plaud in Others. These slang books
are not read by those who use slang
habitually; they are read by those
who know better than to use slang
themselves. The slang fashion, there.
fore, is an abnormality, monstrosity.
Slang comes from the streets. 1t is
the mud of literature. Consequently
it is difficult for those who walk tie
streets to escape sporting. But to
seek spotting, to wallow in the Ian
guage of the streets, and make the
disgusting clippings into book, is as
ineXcuSable as it would be to enter a
friends house covered with mud and
neither ask for brush nor make an
apology. The inexcusable use of
slang is oftenest to be found in the
work Of college professors and profess
sional writer's. 1t is quite as desira-
BILE to keep your speech as clean as
your Clothes" If, as we believe, the
future of the country is to depend
upon the rising generation, it W, uld
seem that the present use of slang is a
poor foundation upon which to build
the "Yankee" language, which should
eventually be the language Of the
world.

pOlaOn Proof People,


There are entire communities Of pol
son proof people who partake or doses
of white arsenic with as much zest as
the average person partakes OF meal
Chief among these singularly gifted
people ARE the Syrian and Corinthian
shepherds who inhabit the districts OF
Lamprecht, Salzburg, Hartberg, Leo
ben, Oberzeirung and the Erzgebirge
mountains. The sturdy mountaineers
consider that arsenic improves thelr
wind for chamois climbing.
Some years ago DR.. Knapp put two
Of these men through their PAGES be-
fore the German Society Of Physicians
assembled at Gratz. The one ate six
grains of white arsenic, or enough to
kill three men, without experiencing
the slightest inconvenience. The other
partook of four grains of yellow arse
mic, or orpiment, with equal impunity.
1t was explained that seeing the good
effect of the drug upon the coats and
condition of their fiocks, many Of these
shepherds start the practice under the
impression that taken in moderation 1t
is good for human beings also.
Usually started with a small weekly
dose spread upon bread and butter, the
embryo arsenic eater has to undergo a
very severe test of his devotion to the
drug. Violent sickness and burning
pains accompany its first use, and the
drug speedily asserts its fatal power
over it's devotee.
Any attempt to leave off the drug is
generally fatal. The women Of these
arsenic eating districts are famous for
their beautiful compilations and luxuri-
ant tresses.

A new system is to be introduced
by the water department in reference
to the placing of plumbing Of any de-
scription in new or old houses. When
the plumber has work to be cone he
must visit the SUI erintendent' office
first and secure permit from him to
do the work. On the back Of this
permit is printed the plumbers le
turn blank wherein he must state the
number Of the street on which the
house is located, tie name Of the ow-
ner of the house, number of families
in the house also the number of ten.
ants. The number of faucets, Wa
ter closets, bath tubs, laundry tubs,
hand hose, horses, COWS, fountains,
boilers, ETC. This system will enable
the superintendent to know just what
new plumbing has been done and
what extra faucets to charge up, also
it will facilitate his work in the Of
flee. 1T is also rumored that at least
one inspector will b, placed on per-
manently, not only to look after the
leaks but also to see how mary peo-
pie are using no in summer, which
are not being paid for also to check
up the number of faucets in every
house in the city. This is system
which Superintendent G. $. Currier
has tried to enforce ever since he has
been in office. but he has been unable
to do so. There is no doubt but
that the city has been losing money
through waste Of water and also
through other sources, but the new
system will eliminate any further loss.
1t is pleasing to note any change of
this nature whereby the affairs of the
city appear to be placed on more
systematic business basis.

PAYS THE PENALTY.
Leon F. Czolgosz Is Electrocuted
for the Assassination Of
President Mckinley.
Said in the Chair He Was Not
Sorry for the Crime.

Auburn, N. Y, Oct. 2e.-At 7:12 this
morning Leon Czolgosz, murderer of
President William Mckinley, paid the
extreme penalty enacted by law for
his crime. He was shocked to death
by 100 volts of electricity. He went
to the chair in exactly the same man
ner as have the majority of murderers
in this state, showing no particular
sign of fear, but, in fact, doing what
few of them have done-talking to the
witnesses while he was being strapped
in the chair.
II killed the president because he
was an enemy of the good people-of
the good working people. 1 am not
sorry for my crime," were his last
words as the guards hurried him into
the chair. :
A moment later, mumbling through
the half-adjusted face straps, he said:
81 am awfully sorry I could not my
father"
Rev. Cordello Herrick, chaplain OF
the prison, was in the death chamber
for any call that might be made for
his services. He was not wanted by
the prisoner, however.
b The clothing and personal effects of
the prisoner were burned shortly after
the execution.
The physicians holding the autopsy
decided, after a critical examination.
that Czalgosz' brain was normal, II not
above normal
