A Russian military writer in sizing
up the fighting strength of Japan's
army says that the weakest point in
that organization is the cavalry arm,
the development of which has been
hindered by the lack of horses and the
want of suitable places for exercise.
The Russian cavalry is seven times
more numerous. The Japanese in
fantry is most favorably criticised.
Its moral qualities are said to be very
high, although its physical quail
ties are on a much lower level.
In warm countries, it is declared, the
japanese infantryman has displayed
extraordinary powers of endurance,
but he would hardly be likely to show
them in cold climate. The writer
concludes with the opinion that it is
difficult to form an estimate of an
army (which has never stood the test
of serious war;

Dear Friend-G may not call You

Now we are grown so sadly wise,
Since Youth and Loves young dream

And we look out on clouded skies,
Skies which were then so clear and
bright
No mists to mar, but all bedight
With hope, and joy. and mirth and
love,
And naught was sad below. above)-
Say. my dear Friend, do you remem-
Der
That shady porch where you and l
Those afternoons in mild September,
When Heavens blue was in the sky,
And warm and CHEEKY was the wealth
er,
And you and l played chess together
Seated upon the topmost step
I At close of school, when tasks were
done,
The board with pieces" we equip,
And now the game is well begun I;
Now You, now |, piece have won,
And each to worst the other tries /;
False moves are made-the game is
done,
"Checkmated" by each others eyes
Our fingers touch; our glances meet,
And falter; falls your darkbrown
hair
Against my cheek Your bosom
sweet
Is heaving; flushed your cheeks so
fair
Adown the field your stately queen
Rides slow her soldiery between
And "checks" me unaware.
My eyes are rowing from the board
Upon your eyes, and face, and hair /;
Your cheek is flushed; your eyes are
lowered
Your brow a frown doth wear.
But your sweet lips were wreathed
in smiles
(Ah we'll you knew Loves crafty
wiles)
AS you looked up and met my glance,
The glance you knew full well.
All me 1t was nv first romance,
How dear no tongue can tell
And, meath the spell, l did not reck
When you in triumph cried out
"Check -
For my lost game weighed not feath-
When you and I played chess togeth
That happy summer soon was o'er;-
Too soon it passed-at least, for me
One heart was sad; one heart was
sore
AT parting; Say, how vast with
thee?-
/ mind me of our lonely ride
Adown that shady, dark ravine,
The Kingdom silent, side by side
We gazed upon each shifting scene.
No word was spoke each heart was

1t was our solemn, last good-by;
The parting hour. alas was nigh
The happy summer DER; the school
We two had taught beneath the hill
Cts ruined walls are standing still)-
Was closed and we were now to

To part to meet-we knew not

And sadness ohoked each aching heart
With fear we meier should meet
again.
| longed to speak; to tell you all
My inmost thoughts; the love that
burned
Within my breast; but like pail
Fear sealed my lips till we returned,
And so we parted-nevermore
Alas were we alone together;
We said good-by aud nevermore
Did you and 1 play chess together

And many "move'' since then

THE SPINNERS.

Dame caterpillar
Spun in the shade
Where the rose-bushes
Hiding place made.
Under and over
Her silky thread weaves,
Backward and forward
Among the green leaves.
Out in the sunlight
Silvery fine,
Cruel Miss Spider
Swung on her line.
In and out, up and down,
Back and forth too,
Lace-like in meshes
Her fairy web grew.
Loud laughed Miss Spider,
See how she weaves,
Hiding So carefully
Under the leaves.
Gould she but spin web
Lovely as mine,
Dame Caterpillar
Would love the sunshine -
True - buzzed a bumble.bee
Hurrying BY
THAT she spins quietly,
I'll tell you why.
She tolls a nest to make,
Hid from all eyes;
You weave trap to take
Poor, silly flies

A Great Ga m e.

Neither side scored in the football
game which was played at the fair
grounds Saturday between the Middle
bury high school and the local high
school teams. The teams were about
evenly matched, Rutland having shade
the better of the game in the second half.
In the first half Middlebury kicked to
Rutland. The play started by ,sending
Trudell, the left half back, around the
end for about 20 yards. Middlebury
then held and Rutland punted to about
the 1O-yard line Middlebury secured
the ball and by steady rushes pushed
Rutland back to about the 40 yard line,
where the local team held for downs.
Rutland then took the ball and was
steadily advancing it towards the goal
when time was called.
In the second half Rutland kicked off
to Middebury. The Middlebury team
made the required distance, five yards,
on the first play and was then held for
downs. Rutland then secured the ball,
but owing to series of fumbles was I'M
able to advance it. Rutland punted and
Middlebury received it on the 2O-yard
line. Middlebury returned the punt and
Rutland was steadily gaining ground
when the whistle blew for time. Car
rick, Lawson and Trudell played well for

CATARRH CURED WITHOUT
DRUGS
Hyomei Medicates the Air You Breathe,
Kills the Germs and Cures the
Disease.

Hyomei cures catarrh thoroughly and
permanently, because it reaches the
smallest air cells in the head, throat and
lungs, kills the germs causing the
disease and drives it from the system
Hyomei goes to the root of the disease,
destroys the cause, and makes perman-
ent cures which can be effected in no
other way. Breath it for few minutes
four times day and benefit will be seen
at once. Continue this treatment for a
few weeks and Hyomei will have cured
you.
The Hyomei breathed through the
neat pocket inhaler furnished with each
outfit mingles with the air you breath.
1t is local and direct treatment for
graduating all catarrh germs in the
mucous membrane and tissues and in
this way cures catarrh in any part of the
system. Used in connection with
Hyomei Balm it has been successful in
curing the worst and most deep-seated
cases of catarrhal deafness
The complete Hyomei outfit costs 81 90
and comprises an INHALER, bottle of
Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler
will last a life time; and additional
bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for
SOC.
Stronger than any claims that car be
made in an advertisement, is the fact
that W. II. Sheldon will give his personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit he
sells to refund the money if the pur-
chaser can say that Hyomei has not
given satisfaction.

The case of state against G. Constan-
tine from Caledonia county involving the
second constitutional question in the
license law as pertaining to the penalty
clause, was argued in supreme court at
Montpelier Friday. In this case the re-
spondent was charged with illegally
keeping intoxicating liquor, was found
guilty in tie lower courts and fined $500.
He demurred ON the ground that the
penalty clause was unconstitutional since
the minimum sentence is stated, but not
the maximum, which in case at bar
could be $4,000 or more, so far as the
law is concerned. After the arguments
on this case court took recess until
Tuesday,

LIKE FINDING MONEY.
milford II. Burt Offers Popular Medicine
at Half Price.

at Half Price.
milford r. Burt the popular druggist
is making an offer that is just like
finding money, for he is selling a regu-
lar so cent bottle of DIR. Towards cele-
brated specific for the cure of consti-
patton and dyspepsia at half price. In
addition to this large discount he agrees
to return the money to any purchaser
whom the specific does not cure.
1t is quite unusual to be able TO buy
fiftycent pieces for a quarter, but that
is what this offer really means, for it is
only recently through the solicitation of
Druggist Milford r. Burt that this
medicine could be bought for less than
fifty cents. He urged the proprietors to
allow him to sell it at this reduced price
for a little while, agreeing to sell GER
tain amount. The result has justified
his good judgment, for the sale has been
something remarkable.
Anyone who suffers with headache,
dyspepsia. dizziness, sour stomach,
specks before the eyes, or any liver
trouble, should take advantage of this
opportunity, for DR.. Towards specific
will cure. But if by any chance it
should not, milford r. Burt will return
your money.

This remarkable flesh-forming food is
