MAKING A MAN.
(From the New Orleans Picayune)
Hurry the baby as fast as you can,
Hurry him, worry him, make him man.
Off with his baby clothes, get him in pants,
Feed him on brain foods and make him advance.
Hustle him soon as he is able to walk,
Into grammer school; cram him with talk.
Fill his poor head full of figures and facts,
Keep on a-jumping them in till 1t cracks.
Once boys grew up at a rational rate,
Now we develop man while you wait.
Rush him through college, compel him to grab
Of every known subject dip and dab.
Get him in business and after the cash,
Abby the time he can grow mustache.
Let him forget he was ever boy,
Make gold his god and its jingle his joy.
Keep him a-hustling and clear out of breath
Until he wins-nervous prostration and death.

DR.. Conland's Monument.

1t is an admirable suggestion which
is made in our columns today by Gov.
HOlbrOok. and by several other per-
sonal friends of DR.. Conland-that of
placing on the doctors grave as the
tribute of his friends a rugged boulder
from the hills he loved. to be his mon
ument. We believe this sugges-
ton will meet instant approval and
that the response will be prompt and
general. We hope the fund will rep
resent not alone the contributions of
those who wish TO give the dollar
named as the maximum individual
sum, but the dimes and nickels of the
great company of those hundreds of
others who thought of DIR. Conland as
their friend in time of need. In ac-
cordance with the suggestion made,
a book has been opened at The Phe-
nix office, where all contributions
sent or left will be entered and duly
accounted for.

The Country Physician.

The personal loss which comes in
centuated in many homes in Brattle-
boro by the thought that the good
physician will be seen no more, that
DR.. James Conland, upon whom so
many of us depended in the hours of
anxiety and suffering, has finished his
work and gone to his reward. Nature
endowed him with a strong physique,
but he was so unsparing of himself in
his duties to others that he literally
wore himself out, and ended his days
in what seemingly ought to have been
the very prime of his mature man.
hood. His was a strong, virile, but at
tractive and gentle personality.
In this day of the praise of special
lists let us not forget the helpful, self
sacrificing and noble work which the
all-around country physician is do
ing. Day and night he must hold him
self ready to go forth in all conditions
Of weather, frequently for long, try

the calls for help. Giving words of
counsel, and sympathy, alleviating
suffering, made a repository for fam

life. struggling with the problems of
life and death. the reward of the
country doctor from a financial
standpoint is not commensurate with
hi lll. hatf hr nh f..tu
DR.. Conland. who was true to the
highest ethics of his profession in his
practice, there was the approval of the
conscience in a life spent in useful
vice of others. and in having won the
respect. confidence and love of those
for whom he labored.
In the case of DR.. Conland this ideal
professional life was simply one side
in the development of strong, full,
well-rounded nature. His interests
and his sympathies were bounded by
no lines of sect or race or creed. He
was so broadly tolerant and appreci-
ative, and he had such a genuine lik-
ing for human kind, that all men with
whom he was brought in contact rec
ognized in him a friend, companion
and a brother. 1t is because he was
the good country doctor, and because
he was so genuinely human, that so

all the towns around feel that in Dr..
Conlands death they have lost a dear

Cleveland.

To be or not to be is a question
which is now whirling around eX-
President Grover Cleveland. When in
terviewed TO determine whether he
will be a candidate for presidential
nomination he studiously avoids Civ
ing a direct answer. 1t was a curious
coincidence, or perhaps some would
say conspiracy, that he should have
been received with a great popular
demonstration of approval upon his
appearance at the dedication of the
Worlds Fair grounds at st. Louis, and
that at the same time such willy pol
iticians as eX-United States Senator
Smith of New Jersey, and Norman w.
Mack of Buffalo, Democratic state
committeeman from New York, should
declare for him as the Moses to lead
the party out of the wilderness, while
the Brooklyn Eagle, New York World,
New York Herald and other papers
came out, clamoring for him as the
one available Democratic candidate.
Cleveland's admirers claim to see in
him the only man who would have a
fighting chance against Roosevelt. 1t
is evident that free silver and Bryan.
ism will drop out of the coming cam
paign, although Bryan's slogan is still
no surrender, and he goes out of his
way to assail Mr., Cleveland at every
opportunity. The Democratic party is
certainly poor in candidates, and
might, as a last resort, consent to
give Cleveland the honor of a third
nomination to the presidency.

Vermont people have been so busily
engaged in discussing license and no.
license liquor laws the past year that
they have forgotten to say anything
about temperance. Now that they
have been relieved of the main re-
sponsibiity for the enforcement of
the law it would be a good plan for
prohibtionists to devote some energy
to the promotion of temperance along
the lines of rational appeals and in

IN DR.. C0NLAND'S MEMORY.
Citizens to Join in Raising a Lasting
Memorial-The Phoenix viii Re-
ceive Subscriptions.

Editor of The Phmnix:-
In the death of Dr. Conland the
community has suffered a great loss.
So estimable a gentleman and so
skillful a physician, endeared to so
many families by his urbane and
kindly presence and ministrations to
the sick and sorrowing, deserves some
lasting testimonial of his worth from
the people of Brattleboro and vicin-
ity. Our people, irrespective of party
lines, twice sent him as their repre-
sentative to the state legislature,
where he acquitted himself well, to
the satisfaction of his constituents
and the credit of his town. The be-
loved physician, he has ever held
himself ready at call at all hours Of
day or night, in all weathers, without
regard to his own health or comfort.
He has been called in consultation
from far and near, his judgment and
opinion therein commanding respect.
Now 1t seems to me, and desire to
suggest to the citizens of Brattleboro.
that lasting memorial to his worth
as man and citizen might be gra-
ciously recorded on the modest monu.
ment, procured and erected over his
grave by their combined action. viii
The Phoenix, or someone, Set the work
in motion whereby citizens will COM
bine to perfect a method for accom-
plishing what seems to me to be so
laudable and worthy a purpose?
Truly yours,

the circumstance that France was at
