The test of time is what tells the tale
"A new broom sweeps clean" but will it
wear well is what interests most The
public soon find out when misrepresenta-
tions are made, and merit alone will stand
the test of time.
Brattleboro people appreciate merit, and
many months ago local citizens publicly
endorsed Doans Kidney Pills they do so
still. Would citizen make the state
ment which follows unless convinced that
the article was just as represented? \
cure that lasts is the kind that every
sufferer from kidney ills is looking for.
George II. Newton, teamster for S. \.
Smith & Co, living at Flat street, says:
Il cannot add anything to my original
statement about Doan's Kidney Pills first
publicly expressed over five years ago
when l procured the remedy at George
Z. Greene's drug store and took n course
of the treatment. l am only too pleased
to endorse the preparation if it will be the
means of inducing other sufferers from
kidney complaint or backache to use it,
From my experience as well as from OBJ
servation no one need to be the least du-
bious about the results obtained from the
use of Doan's Kidney Pills"

Mr.. Barrett's Work in Argentine.
[ From the Buenos Aires Standard
March Ill


IFrom the Buenos Aires Standard of
March III
The numerous friends whom Mr.. John
Barrett the United States Minister, has
made amongst the social and diplomatic
circles during the three months he has
been in Buneos Aires. will learn with re-
grct the news brought by the cable of his
transierence to Panama His new sphere
of action will afford Mr.. Barrett full
scope for his great abilities; his new post
IS a very responsible one "a representa-
tive of the United States in the newly
established Isthmian Republic. Mr. Bar
rett says that while he appreciates great
ly the honor Of being minister Of state
through whose territory the great canal
is to be constructed he regrets extremely
to be obliged to sever his relations with
the Argentine government and people,
both of whom have been most kind to
him since his arrival here last December.
He had commenced most careful study
of the commercial, economical and poht-
ical conditions Of Argentina, in order that
the American government and people
might have a better knowledge of the
present opportunities and future great
possibilities of the country, and he would
have liked to pursue his investigation
fun Their and so strengthen the friendly re-
lations between Argentina and the United
States. The minister has already sent
to his government two extensive reports
on the development of this country Dur
ing his short sojourn amongst us Mr..
Barrett has won for himself by his in
variable courtesy the sympathies of all
with whom he has been brought into con-
tact in Puenos Aires. Mr. Barrett was
appointed United States Minister to the
Argentine Republic on July 2nd, 1908, al
though he did not arrive here until De-
cember 18th. He was the Representa-
tive of the United States in Siam from
| 1894 to 1898. At the opening of the Pan
american Congress in Mexico he was
one of the United States Plenipotentiaries
| lie was Commissioner-Ge General for Foreign
| Affairs of the st. Louis Worlds Exhibit
| tition until his appointment as Minister
| to Argentina. 1t is probable that Mr..
| Barrett will leave Buenos Aires in about
three weeks and proceed to Panama by
way of Chile and the Pacific coast.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

This is the remarkable poem in which on May g. 1865
ndon Punch confessed its error after having for years
lpooned Lincoln with pencil and with pen
You lay wreath on murdered Lincon's bier
You who with mockine pencil wont TO trace
Broad or the self-complacent British sneer
His length Of shanbng limb, his fLrrowed face,
His gaunt gnarled hands his unkenpt brising hair.
His garb uncouth his bearing i'll at ease,
His lack Of all we prize as debonair,
Of power or will to shine of art to please.
You, whose smart pen backed up the pencils laugh
Judging each step as though the way plain;
Reckless. so it could point paragraph
Of Chiefs perplexity or peoples pain.
Beside this corpse, that bears for winding sheet
The Stars and Stripes he lived to rear anew.
Between the mourners at his head and feet,
Say, scurril-jeser, is there room for you ?
Yes; he had lived to shame me from my sneer
To lame my pencil and confue my pen
To make me own this hind of princes peer,
This rail-spitter, true born king of men,
My shallow judgment had learnt to rue,
Noting how to occasions height he rose,
How his quaint wit made home truth seem more true,
How, iron-like, his temper grew by blows.
How humble. yet how hopeful, he could be;
How in good fortune and in il! the same,
Nor bitter in success. nor boasul. he,
Thirsty for gold, nor feverish for fame.
He went about his work such work as few
Ever had laid on head and heart and hand
AS who knows, where there's task to do,
Mans honest will must Heaven good grace command.
Who trusts the strength will with the burden grow
That Cod makes instruments to work His will,
If but that will we can arrive to know
Nor tamper with the weights Of gold and lk
So he went forth to battle on the side
That he felt clear was Liberty's and Rights,
AS in his peasant boyhood he had piled
His warfare with rude natures thWartng nights
The unceared forest, the unbroken SOIL
The iron-bark, that turns the laborers axe.
The rapid that o'erbears the boamans toll
The prairie hiding the mazed wanderers tracks.
The ambushed Indian and the prowng bear
Such the needs that helped his youth to train;
Rough culture-but such trees large fruit may bear
If but their stocks be Of right grh and grain
So he grew up, destined work 10 do
And lived to do it. four long suffering years
Il-fate i'll fortune. i-report, lived through,
And then he heard the Kisses change to cheers
The taunts to tribute, the abuse to praise
And took both with the same unwaverng mood;
Till, as he came on light from darkng days,
And seemed to touch the goal from where he stood
feon hand, between the goal and him.
Reached from behind his back, a trigger prest-
And those perplexed and patient eyes were dim,
Those gaunt, long -aboring limbs laid to rest
The words Of mercy upon his lips,
forgiveness in his heart and on his pen,
When this vile murderer brought swift eclipse
To thoughts of peace on earth good will to men.
