jackets, under the manipulation Of this
master hand of q novice, got along
swimmingly. An army, with all its
accessories, was sent up the line with
out accident, The American jackie
had contributed decisively to the relief
OF Tien Tsin.
OF one difficulty of the situation
Lieut. Clark says: 81 had an interpre-
ter with me who spoke all known
languages. He needed them. l thought
at times he would lose his mind--or his
tongue. He lived through the siege
and at last accounts was sorting his
languages, as it were, trying to get
them straight again" OF the requisi-
tions made upon this American officer
and his readiness to meet them, there
is this illustration, A foreign officer
would say: "Sir, should like to have
a train at six O'Clock for 1000 men and
200 horses" every well, cir, the train
will be ready" and somehow it was,
though the general managers" assur-
ance was usually matter of faith
rather than knowledge. Aside from
the humors and peassntries of the sit
uatioD, in these men Of the sea adapting
themselves to the work of landsmen,
Lieut.. Qlarksays of his assistants;
But underneath it al, those OF us
who knew these faithful Jackies could
detect the earnestness, the close atteE-
ton to detail, the determination to sue
coed, that mark the sailOr's conduct in
time of trouble an wins h s fIicer's
confidence and affection. These faith
ful American salorsl Cheerful, able
and obedlent, working night and day,
they were a source of pride to their Of
fcers and of wonder and admiration to
all foreigners. II was due to them that
the commanding officer of the English
flagship said "Tien Tsin would not
have been relieved had 1t not been for
the work of the American gunboat."
The leutenant's story throughout
is extremely interesting. 1t concludes
with this modest reference to himself
the personal consequences Of his ar.
duous and unwonted Iabors: "The
highland day work on the ra lroad
finally resulted in sending the general
manager to the Yokohama hospital, his
work being taken up and improved by
other officers"

Money in Vermont.

Apropos OF the stock talk OF certain
Of the newspapers of the State, when
copy is short and the news market T.
dull, about "lnvesting money" in Yer
mont and developing the resources of
the State, the Burlington Ne,os, with
its usual directness, inquiries:
evil these papers have the kindness
to tell us just what they mean by in
vesting' money? Is there really any
way of investing money other than by
lending it or by buying real estate2 Is
it Gil vesting' money to take stock in
every enterprise that comes along 10
develop the resources of the State or
to boom the town. Do Vermont
newspaper people themselves invest
their immense fortunes in ways which
they urge upon other people2 Why
not use a little common sense in this
matter of booming Vermont Can a
State be doomed by methods that
twelve-year-old boy would pronounce
foolish and unreasonable?
As to "investing money in YER
mont" and developing It's resources"
isn't this thing being done right along2
the contemporary might have queried
further. Haven't the wood pulp aliens
recently "invested money" 10 Vermont
woodlande2 Haven't they been skin
ming the State Of its forests for years
and aren't they investing more money
every day in the work OF "deDuJping"
the States re5ourcesP There has been
somewhat too much money invested in
Vermont, somewhat too much OF devel-
opment of her resources, in certain
directions.

Gladstone was sometimes tainted
with the utterance Of the opinion, in
the first year OF the Southern rebellion,
that the South had created a nation.
The secretary of a Gladstone club
started in New Haven in 1897 wrote
the statesman asking him as to this
matter, with permission to use his
name in connection with the reply
This was M. Gladstone's answer:

lated the South on the establishment OF
separate nation. But it is true that

doing--that l apologized for my erro,

course, not for me to interfere.

Another woman bent Der a book
With a smile of JOY and an intent look,
Till a child came up and logged her knee,
And said of the book, Put it down-tale me. "
Then the mother sighed as she strolled his
head,
Saying softly, 81 never shall get it read;
But I'll try by loving to learn His will,
And His love into my child to instill"
That child went to bed without a sigh
And viii love religon-by and by.

The ArbOr Day Sham.

Spring, with dewy fingers cold,"
has returned to dress the sod with ver-
dure and to bring forth the buds and
leaves aud blossoms-and the Govern
or's Arbor day proclamation.
When the day was first instituted in
this State, it was observed in a way to
serve the purpose of its creation. APP
propriate literature for the occasion was
prepared for use in the schools, in
many places public exercises were held,
interest in the occasion and its special
work was general, and many trees
were planted, by the road sides, along
the streets OF the villages aud in the
worn out pastures.
The Legislature neglected TO rein
force its act instituting the day by pro-
Viding the means or the machinery for
its useful and permanent Observance.
Long ago the day lapsed into a condi-
ton of "innOcuous desuetude." In
the comparison, the observance OF Fast
day was "a vociferous and holcyon"
affair The chief result of the issu
ance of the Governors proclamation
now is to give the printer little job,
contribute somewhat to Uncle Samuel's
postal revenues, present the Chief Elk
ecutiye an opportunity TO air his rhe-
toric, and confer a holiday upon people
of elegant occupations while the CON-
mon run of humanity grubs on at it's
daily task.
Arbor day is not Thanksgiving day
or a Fourth of July occasion, but it the
preparations and arrangements for its
observance were as general and on the
same liberal scale as for the celebration
of the festival or the patriotic anniver-
sary, benefits could not fail to accrue to
localities and the State at large. Arbor
day cannot be day by itself, beginning
with the rising of the sun of set date
in early May and ending at eventide.
The real Arbor day should be as con

Two Religions.

A woman sat by hearthside place
Reading book with pleasant face,
Till child came up with a childish frown
And pushed the book, saying, Put it down"
Then the mother, slapping his curly head,
Said, Troublesome child, go off to bed;
A great deal of Christ s.life must know
To train you up as a child should CO."
And the child went off to bed to cry
And denounce religion-by and by.
