THE WOMAN IN THE CASE.

Since the day when sinful Adam turned
States evidence on Eve,
And a nimsy web of guilt around his
WHEY tried to weave,
Down through all the countless ages time
has left along her trail
Has the female had to suffer for the do
ms of the male.
" Twas tho woman, Twas the woman
rang the cry through Eden's bowers,
Twas the woman!" yet we hear it in
these modern days of ours
AS the false bewhiskercd sinners desper-
atelY try to place
All the blame upon the shoulders of the
woman in the case
So twill be till time has ended. till the
sun is stripped of light
And the earth is In the blackness of the
never ending night
TIL the sounding Of tho trumpet calls
the dead from earthly sleep
And the heavenly inspectors separate the
goats and sheep.
Even at the bar Of judgment when We re
called upon to show
The oxtenuatinE features OF our shining
here below
There may he full many towards who
will stand with brazen face
And attribute their transgrcssions to the
woman In the case.

WORST OBSTACLES OVERCOME.
Most of the serious obstacles had been
overcome when Pocatello. Idaho, was
reached. But this had to be done by a
long swerve into northern wyoming to
escape washed out counties that lay dl-
rectly ahead. The line OF the Union Pa
cihc railroad was followed closely to
Omaha Here a big reception awaited
the travellers.
Beyond Omaha was another tough
country to get over-the buffalo wal
lows" all marsh and quicksand. 1t was
almost as difficult as in the hood-swept
country of Idaho.
Tho line of the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad was followed from Omaha
to Chicago, and while good progress was
made, the travellers were bitterly disap-
appointed in the weather. 1t had been
raining ever since they reached Ne
braska. and the rain was with them al
most all the rest of the way
stay of several days was made In
Chicago. where the automoblists gave
tho doctor and his comradc big rccep-
ton From Chicago to Cleveland, then
to Buffalo, then to Albany, and finally
on Saturday night, tho touring auto was
met at Schenectady by Mrs. Jackson and
several of the doctors friends.

held. and i'm the carly hours Of yesterday
morning the run to the Holland House
was made
DIR. Jackson on Tuesday will turn his
auto in the direction of Burlington, VT.
to complete the last chain in the 5000
mile journey.
Neither of the men suffered from Ill
health. Anywhere from IL to 200 miles a
day was made by the auto in the 43 days
of travelling. DIR. Jackson estimates that
the average was 800 miles a day.
The States traverscd were California.
Oregon, Idaho. Wyoming, Nebraska,
Iowa. Illinois. Indiana, Ohio, New York,
and when Burlington is reached added to
the list will be Connecticut, Massachu-
sets and Nermont-14 States In all.
About 500 gallons Of gasolene were con-
sumcd on the trip
DR. jackson will come to Burlington by
way of Boston. arriving probably some
time this week.

means that the builders take sufficient

vantage and without undue haste.
