Mr.. Tltcomb's Good Work.

One frequently finds a man who appre-
ciates the work of the fish and game
commission in stocking Vermont streams
and such one is Editor Lewis of the
Morrisville News and Citizen. His COM
ments on Mr.. Titcomb's work at Cas-
plan Lake will be read with special in
terest.
Fish Commissioner Titcomb is very
enthusiastic concerning the fishing in
Caspian Lake this spring. He reports
that fully ton of trout has been taken
from the pond since the season opened.
This is the result of the care and atten-
ton given to hat body of water by the
fish commissioners. Ten or a dozen
years ago there was little, if any, fishing
there. Now it is the best lake for trout
fishing in the state. Other ponds and
many of the streams are being stocked
and in few years the result of this
work will be seen. Mr.. Titcomb is do
ing the state great service in his capacity
as head Of the board of fish commission
ers and his labors are certainly worthy
of appreciation on every hand"

Vermont for Vermonters.

Gov. Stickney is coming in for good
deal of deserved criticism upon the selec.
ton of painter for the portrait for
Capt. Clark Of the Oregon. Vermont
had at least three painters Of national
fame who could have done this work
and done it well: T. W. Wood Of Mont
pelier, Robert G. Hardie and Miss Rachel
Robinson of Ferrisburg. But the Gov
ernor ignored all these Vermonters and
selected F. P. Vinton of Boston. This is
right in line with the recent action OF the
printing commission in turning down
home printers and sending all the work
for two years to Albany. But fortu
nately for Vermonters we shall have a
change of public officials next year and
we suggest they be nominated on the
platform Vermont for Vermonters."

Johusbury on his first visit he was the

he congratulated the editor on the

said he had a name which was not dupli.

Man, an attractive monthly just started

all, B. D., editor. AS its name and the
name of its editor suggests it is dis
tinctively Scotch in character and is full
of interesting matter relative to Old
Scotland and to her children OF the pres
ent day. We extend congratulations to
our namesake and hope it may live long
and steadily prosper.
1t is probably generally known that
the founder of the st. Johnsbury GALE

the paper from the county, and thu
county was named Caledonia by tn

The Bivouac of the Dead.

A Southern writer has recently called
that the martial eulogy "The Bivouac of
the Dead" which is placed stanza by
stanza on tablets along the driveways of
nearly all our national military ceme-
teries, was written by Confederate sol
der. Whether this fact was known or
considered when the Federal authorities
selected it to immortalize the memory of
the dead of the Union army is not settled
but however that may be, one thing is
certain, there is in the realm of literature
noting so well adapted to the high pur-
pose which it now serves. This COM
memorative use of the wonderful form is
not confined to the United States, for up
on Crmean battlefelds, the last resting
place of English heroes, is marked by a
monument on which is inscribed:
"On fame's eternal camping ground
There silent tents are spread,
And glory guards, with solemn sound,
The bivouac of the dead!"
Doubtless England did not know from
whom she borrowed the magnificent
lines. The author, Theodore O'Hara, was
a son Of Kentucky who lead an unusual
ly strenuous life. He was born in 1920,
his father, Kane O'Hara. was an Irish
nO1itica1 eyile He was cantain OC
volunteers during the Mexican war and
served brevet of major for gallantry.
After this he went on fillibustering ex-
petition to Cuba and commanded a
regiment OF Cardenas where he was
wounded. In the civil war he served as
colonel of the 10Th Alabama and on staff
duty. After the war he engaged in bus
mess in the South and died in Alabama
in 1867. His famous poem was written
on the occasion of the removal of the
bodies OF his Kentucky comrades who
fell at Buena Vista to their native soil.
O'Hara's body was brought from the
south by special action of the Kentucky
legislature and buried at Frankfort with
the Sons Of the dark and bloody
ground" whose memory he immortaliz
ed. His grave is marked bg a simple
slab of marble with this inscription,

back them up with a cash bet. In

to raise little money, and this is
where the pawnbroker comes in.

admiration of men who follow s Gu

leaving foot impressions. which
brought down upon his head all the

the razor soothinglv sliced off his

been applied, shook himself and re
marked: ''Therc's just enough Irish
left in me to make that fellow eat
his words. I'm going to cross that
asphalt again And cross he q d.
The boss assailed him with every
familiar exrletive, and with clinched
firsts the dominic went for the fel-
low. a crowd gathered to sc
pretty "scrap,' but the preachers
garb put sudden stop to hOstili-

the boss 'not to lay Il finger on that
