evidence This is one of the Oldest rea-

ance with it every Democrat who pro-

scribed by Republicans as a man of
strong patriotism and signal political
influence, while the Republican who
goes over to Parker is rapturously pro-
claimed by Democratic journals in
much the same terms. Such defections

those first Sunny DAYS.

When the sun, returning from a winter
South, first makes his genial presence
telt in this frozen region, general feeling
of relief is expressed in various character
istic ways.
With the melting snowbanks Outlying
the roads, the streams swapping their
bands OF ice and sweeping the fragments
away in boiling rage OF waters, and the
gradual appearance of widening patches
of earth, the scratching of sleighs over
bare places in the road seems almost
musical to the ears that have listened so
long TO the ereak Of runners in the bitter
cold.
As the soft white cover is Withdrawn,
and the sodden stumps Of last years
cornfeld, the piles OF rubbish and
picturesque ASH heaps disclose themselves,
no one mourns for the charitable mantle
which has covered from the eyes of neigh
bors a multitude of sins in the careless
disposal Of tin cans and other household
litter. Instead Of laments, there is hasty
raking together of scattered refuse and
the pungent odor Of bonfires proclaims
that all discriminating evidences of sloven-
ly living are being carefully destroyed by
the guilty parties.
Though renown may be achieved as
tidy lot of people in the summer months,
the state of things revealed around the
habitations of man by the departing snow
raises a wonder as to what our surround
ings might become il absolutely secured
from observation for a long period Of
time Occasionally ii seems probable,
after cursory survey OF backyards 10 the
spring of the year, that the caveman,
who gnawed bones and threw them into
an opposite corner until he had to dig
an addition to the cave to stretch him
self, would be deemed fussy in COM
parison.
As the more direct chances of the sun
beat upon the houses and blocks, pallid
flies emerge from behind the window
castings and crawl feebly into the cheer
ing warmth without sufficient strength
to buzz. No blood stained paper club IS
lifted against them, no tangle-foot is
spread in the way Of their lettering steps;
instead they come as near TO being tin
the language OF church notices. cor
daily welcome" as they are ever likely
to be.
Winter bleached men, too, emerge from
their dwellings and saunter down street
through the mud and slush TO lean their
backs against the sun-warmed surface Of
the brick blocks while the mail is being
changed. They choose the sunny side OF
the street and bask in the rays that thaw
the lingering chunks Of ice as happy as
so many purring cats under hot cooking
stove The horses hitched at the row OF
posts in front paw the softening ground
or soak their feet in the muddy puddles,
while their owners throw back their fur
coats and discuss the prospects Of sugar
season.
There is no nervous hustle hustle in the
atmosphere OF these first warm days, but
a dolce far niente, with nothing particular
to do but watch the snow melt and keep
out OF the way of the spring house
cleaning, which, though nature may
rebel, is being vigorously pushed at home.

The Youth Of Washington"

Critics all agree that the author Of
"Hugh Wynne" essayed a daring venture
when ne set out to write an imagined au-
photography of General Washington, TO
combine history and fiction so skilfully
that his readers could not distinguish
which was history and which fiction, to
dramatic as it were one OF the most con-
spicuous characters in history. The first
chapters of 1.-THE Youth Of Washington:
Told in the Form OF an Autobiography"
in the April Century, promised to justify
the boldness of the undertaking; and the
chapters in the May Century will, il is as
sured, continue to portray the young Nlr-
ginian moving, real and living person, as
he is represented as telling with charac-
teristic reserve the heroic story OF his
youth. These first chapters promise that
DR.. Mitchell's ''The Youth of Washing
ton" will rank as an extraordinary
Achievement in literary art. The nara
tive, in the form OF a journal begun a.
Mount Vernon in November, 1877, is
neither bald history nor pure ictioni the
larger historic facts are true, the fiction
daring piece of commentary.

Land Sharper Caught.

In a recent issue OF the Burlington Free
Press was a despatch from Brattleboro
giving a rather incorrect version OF the ar
rest in Guilford, April Q, Of Herbert n.
Gum, a former real estate agent in Brat
tleboro, on complaint OF Mr.. and Mrs. Jo-
seph Seymour OF Randolph, living on the
Gorham farm on the road to the Center.
In April OF last year, Gum, who was an
old acquaintance of the Seymours when
they resided in Guilford, visited them in
Randolph and told them that he had a
customer for their property, known as the
Slate Ridge farm, in Guilford.
This customer, according to Gum, was
anxious TO take immediate possession OF
the farm but would be unable to pay for 1t
until some six weeks later when he was to
sell place he owned i'm Medford, Mass,
valued at 5000 and mortgaged for 5000.
Gum had the contract for the sale OF the
Medford place which he gave to the Sey-
mours with the deed OF the property and
at the end OF the six weeks they were TO
go down to Medford to complete the BUSH
ness and take out the money coming TO
them for their Guilford farm.
On going to Medford at the specified
time they found the place there to be
mortgaged for 5000, instead OF 5000 as
represented, and further encountered with
a heavy lien for taxes, while, worst of all,
il did not belong, as Gum had claimed, to
the man who had bought their farm.
After his arrest, Gum tried to arrange
to furnish bail OF $1,000, but the states at
torney of Orange county, ID. S. Conant OF
Bradford, started prosecutions of a crimi-
nal nature and the respondent concluded
to go to Newfane jail and await the grand
jury term Of Orange county court in June.
Gum is said to be a friend and former
partner OF the Langley who has been pros
ecuted in Maine lately for practising a
similar swindle.

EXCITING BATH TUB GAME.
It Is Played with a Home Made Flo
tilla Which Is Seeking Shelter
in Safe Wharves.

That the bathtub can be utilized for
many purposes of amusement has been
proved by many boy or girl but per-
haps never before in the following man
ner, described in the New York Mail:
Let us imagine the bathtub Is har-
Dor, with one end for the water front
and the other end for the harbor
entrance. But II we are to have a water
front, where are the wharves? You are
to make them, and this is the way:
First, measure the width Of the end
OF the tub which Is selected for the
water front The measurement should
be taken OF the distance between the
sides, inside the tub. The mark out
your proposed wharves with pencil on
a thin pine board about foot wide.
and long enough to Just float snugly be-
tween the sides of the tub at the water
front end.
Having done this, saw out the
"wharves" with thin saw, and you will
have a result like the diagram. The

die Of the board are the narrowest, ant
the others grow wider until they reach
the ends, the two end slips being th'

BRITISH CITY OWNERSHIP.
Leading Opponent Of Policy in Glas-
gov Praises the System and
It's Results.

The American who breads municipal
ownership for fear of its being used to
create political machinery and rob the
public and who declares that we must
first establish the merit system may be
astonished. says writer in the World
To-Day, when he learns the extent of
the development Of British municipal
trading under these conditions.
Seeking to learn "the other side" OF
manipulation IN Great Britain, the
Investigator is at every turn referred to
Arthur Kay, distinguished citizen of
Glasgow and head OF great merchan-
dising house, as the arch enemy of
multiplication. He Is president of
the Citizens union and the Taxpayers
federation. When asked: do you
think Glasgow should own and operate
It's trains?" he answered: Certainly.
The owning and Operating of these tram
ways has been highly profitable and
thoroughly satisfactory, the accounting
is correct and nobody opposes It,"
But you think the trans should bo
operated for profit In relief Of rates?"
mot at all. They should be run on a
low factor Of safety, and profits be sunk
in betterments or reduction of charges" /"
But this is socialism,"
well, they call 1t socialism-munic-
ipal socialism"
And this from the man who was to
have given the final word against mu-
nicipalization! In Great Britain there
is opposition, not to municipal owner
ship as such, but only to its excesses.

You are now ready to play the game.

fiat pine boards, whitfield into the shape
Of a boat, and equipped with rudder.
You may add masts II you like, but
this game, because the only motive
power will be your own efforts, for you
and your competitors are to push the
boats with your right hand.
The idea IL to shove the vessel under
your command into the narrowest slip
between the wharves. This may look
very easy, but you will quickly fnd
that good deal Of dexterity is required.
It Is a sure test Of q steady eye and
hand, and the effort is rendered harder
by the fact that each rudder must be set
SO that It steers the boat slightly to-
ward the left. This will sometimes spoil
the calculations of the sharpest eye, and
there will be quite little practice
necessary before you can gauge the
proper impulse necessary to guide your
craft along true course into the slip"
Any number agreed upon. such as 100
or 200 points, may determine the game;
five must be subtracted from the total
number of every player who misses a

wharf instead Of gliding in to success

at the other end OF the tub, and must re-
lease their craft in turn after pushing II
