too
And. answering its bugle calls,
The old times rise for me and you.
''Then You'll Remember Me-" it
plays
And straight old memories go back
Through all the dead years mellow
With frequent pause along the
track
And then we see the grass grown
streets.
The orchards cleaning i'm the sun.
Where grooming bees seek out the
sweets
And shadows Ger the grasses run.
We sec the fash of merry eyes;
We see the CLEAN of old-time
smiles
And, ere the old-time music dies,
We live again the old-time wiles.
We walk with pathway in the lane,
And day-dream as we used to then.
For on the ripping old refrain
The old times come to life again.
Play! old hand-organ in the street!
Play every song we used to sing,
And let our hearts in cadence beat
With each glad memory they bring
Play, in your hating, careless way.
The fine old tunes that softly tell
OF every God-made happy day
In those old times we love so well.

Failing to find what he was looking

RAILROAD NOTES

Important action regarding the is
sue of mileage tickets was taken by
the western roads parties to the mile
ague bureau yesterday in Chicago.
The situation had become so grave
as to threaten return 10 the condi-
tions which existed prior TO the adop-
ton of the interchangeable plan.
Some of the roads have been gradu-
ally widening the scope of ordinary
mileage tickets. and practically made
them interchangeable by making
them good over other lines than their
own. This gave the roads whose
lines cover every part of the territory
between the Missouri river and Chi
cago "A great advantage over the
smaller roads. The latter demanded
that they be permitted to make their
ordinary tickets good over connect
ing roads. The matter was finally
compromised by restricting the sale
of the 2.OOO-mile individual book to
lines on one system only. In order
that the smaller roads might not be
placed at a disadvantage, it was de-
cidcd that they might use those tick
cts on lines over which they main
tain through car service.

attraction at the Illinois theatre Sun

Citizens of Hanover, the maiorit,
members OF the society for the pro
lection OF New Hampshire forests,
have given a laudable manifestation
of civic pride and of their realizing
sense OF the value of the beautiful.

Chicago, which has bought many
tracts OF forest land in this state and
is now stripping IA lot on the Daniel
Webster birthplace in Franklin, had
sought contro! of beautiful pine
forest in Hanover, on the bank the
Connecticut and near the Hitchcock
hospital. 1t is beauty spot of the
town, and its citizens rightly felt
that its Disagreement would be al
most a public calamity. Led bv
Pr fessor James M. Colby of Dart
mouth, they consequently canvassed
the town for subscriptions, and with
Il little outside aid secured the $1,000
needed to buy the forest, which will
be kept inviolate. There are many
New Hampshire communities where
from self interest alone such public
spirit should be emulated.-Exeter

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man. of

facts about Majors Cement.
The mutitudeS who use this standard ar
tlcle know that-h is many hundred per
cent. better than other cements for which
similar claims are made. but II great many
40 not know why The simple reason is
that Mr.. Major Uses the best materials
ever discovered and other manufacturers
do not use them, because they are too ex-
pensve and do not allow large profits. Mr..
Mayor tells lis That one of the elements of
his cement costs 50 10 Il pound, and an
other costs 2G5 Il gallon, while Il large
share OF the so-called dement's and liquid
glue upon the market are nothing more
than s.lAteeli-cent glue, dissolved in water
or citllc acid. and in some cases altered
slightly in color and odor by the addition
OF cheap and Useless mat erals.
Majors cement rctnils at fifteen and
twenty-five cents Il bottle, and when a
dealer tries to sell II substitute YOU can de-
pend upon it that hh only object is to make
larger profit
The profit on Majors cement is As much
as any, dealer ought to make on any cement.
And tins is dOuby true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the bene-
tit of Mr. Majors advertising. which now
amounts to over 5000 a month, throughout

RUTLAND PASTOR RESIGNS

Rev. Geo. w. Phillips, one of the
leading Congregationalist clergymen
in New England, read his resigna-
ton as pastor of the Rutland Con-
gregational church at Sunday morn
ing's service after rs years of SER
vice.
Rumors and newspaper stories
have been current of the pastors be-
ing compelled to resign on account
OF his connection with the pardon
ing of the defaalting Cashier Mus
sey. These statements appear to
have been untrue, as Mr.. Phillips
sand i'll resignation that he had con-
temPIated the present step for sew
eral years, and had not taken it at
the request of the church officials.
His principal reasons for reSigning
are that since his pastorate of 16
years here most of those who en-
tended the call to him have died,
conditions and religious standards
have changed, and he feels his res
ignation is for the best good of the
church.

COLLISION ATW. r JUNCTION

A collision occurred at White
River Junction last week Frida,
night between the passenger train
from Springfield, and a freight near
the Central yard here. The passen-
gers were shaken up, but none were
seriously injured. The engineer and
fireman were unhurt.
fhe accident was due to bog
and misplaced swith in the north
ward. "A freight train from Concord
tor Boston had switched to side
track to allow the express to pass.
After the rear train was on the sid
ing, the Waterman found himself un-
able to close the switch. The "Can-
non Ball" came along in the fog.
and knew nothing OF the danger I'M
til it struck. Frank Crows of Bos-
ton, conductor of the freight, sus-
tanned a bad scalp wound. Robert
Marrow of Concord, newsboy, at
first thought to have been killed,
was found later with his right leg
broken.
