habitants, is thus given:

Birmingham does not belong in the
dist of large cities. According to the
census there were In this city in the
census year 1857 of the school age.
But the school age in this state is be-
tween seven and twenty, whereas the
census includes those who are five
years old. On this account the pres
ent population between the ages OF
seven and twenty is probably Just
about 1880.
OF this number $500 in round num-
bers are enrolled in the public schools,
and 1000 in private schools, making the
percentage in school about Sc per cent,
80 that we are doing about as well IN
this respect as the large cities are
doing.
In 1900 the school population in this
city consisted OF 5142 blacks and 6445
whites. The accommodations for the
whites are reasonably ample, but until
a schoolhouse is built in the northeast
section to take the place of one
burned down the accommodations for
negro children will be deficient. A lot
has been purchased in Third avenue,
and the city should lose no time in
putting an ample school building on 1t.

TWO VERMONT POETS.
Authors Of Verses Very Popular With
Our Fathers.

The poem "A Hundred Years Ago.
has again made its appearance in the
press. In its day 1t was set to music
and enjoyed universal popularity.
The poem was written by Vermont
err born in whitingham.in this state, in
1912. He was educated at Williams
College and was associate editor of the
Vermont Telegraph and afterwards Of
the Voice of Freedom, both papers
published at Brandon. He is repre-
scented by four poems in Miss Hemen-
ways Poets and Poetry of Vermont"
His brother, Rev. Nathan Brown, a
well known missionary for nearly a
quarter of century. was also a grad
uate of Williams, receiving the highest
honors of his class, and was a poet
who is represented by three poems in
Miss Hemenway's book.
Many of our readers will be glad
to insert william G.. Browns most
famous poem in their scrap books and
we subjoin it:
A Hundred Years AGO.
Where are the birds that sweetly sang
A hundred years agoT
The lips that smiled.
The eyes that wild
In flashes shone
Soft eyes upon
Where, o where, are lips and eyes,
The maiden's smiles, the lovers sighs
That were so long ago?
Who peopled all the city's streets
A hundred years ago?
Who filled the church with faces meek
A hundred years ago?
The sneering tale
OF sister frail,
The plot that worked
A mothers hurt
Where, 0 where are the plots and
sneers,
The poor mans hopes, the rich mans
fears,
That We're so long ago?
Where are the graves where dead men
slept
A hundred years ago?
Who, whilst living, oft-times wept
hundred years ago?
By other men
They knew not then
Their lands are titled.
Their homes are filed I
Yet nature then was just as gay
And bright the sun shone as to-day
A hundred years ago.

Sunday made the use Of the telephone
systems In the remoter districts dif-
fcult, and 1t is supposed that Young
chose Saturday night for his crime
with this obstacle to pursuit in view
But Sheriff Peabody kept at 1t till ne
had officers on every scent. All day
Sunday he tried to get Sheriff Wilson
of Bennington county at Arlington
but could not till nearly in the even
ing. Through all this work Sherin
Peabody feels that he owes a great
deal to the assistance of the telegraph
and telephone operators.
Young and his pal" had hidden
with their team in the woods all day.
He knew the officers were hot in pur-
suit. AS soon as Sheriff Wilson re-
ceived Sheriff Peabody's message a
little after dark, he went out on the
trail with hastily gathered posse.
They pushed for bridge half mile
north Of Arlington where the sheriff
thought the thieves would come. Just
as Mr.. Wilson and one other man had
reached the bridge with the other
members of the posse a little in the
rear, two men in wagon drove out OF
the cavernous darkness Of the closed
bridge. Wilson flashed his dark
lantern on them and sent ringing
halt across the CLEAN. But the men
in the wagon dashed their horse. Will
sons companion jumped and caught
at the animals bit. The team
knocked him down, ran over him and
rushed on. Sheriff Wilson whipped
out his revolver and fired at the
thieves. The rest of the posse came
running up, but the men in the wagon
had dashed their horse to such furi-
Gus pace that 1t dashed through the
line defying capture in the darkness.
Sheriff Wilson's posse returned to the
village Of Arlington. They found the
team, which had been stopped and turn
ed into livery stable. The men had
disappeared.
Young and his companion had
leaped from the buggy before reaching
the village. In the mad jump from
the flying team Young burst an old
rupture and injured himself fatally.
All that night long he lay in the bushes
suffering agony from his mortal hurt.
No one knows what became Of his
companion. Young evidently lied,
tnOuSn on MS uedtn Deu, IN everything
he said about the man, loyal to the
last with thiefs loyalty, to his fellow
in crime. Early in the morning, Young,
with his pain, crawled from
his hiding place to the nearest house
and asked the man there to take him
to Sheriff Wilson. Wilson had taken
him to state prison 10 years before.
Physicians who examined Young
said he would live. Young himself
protested, however, that he could not
