Good Cheer From VIII shakspere.

To be cheerful
Or not to be cheerful?
That is the question.
Whether 1t is wiser in the mind to suffer
The cares and worries of this dun existence
Or to make fun of all our troubles,
And ny so doing end them.
To smile, to laugh and by a laugh
To say we end the heartache
And the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished.
-[Ward Macauley.

Judge Start was comparatively a young
man when elected to the bench, and not
widely known in the state, but his record
has justified the wisdom Of his choice by
the Legislature He had presided at four or
five sessions Of the Windham county court
and enjoyed the respect and good will of
the bar no less for the tact and even
temper which he displayed than for his
judicial fairness. His last assignment
here was at the September term, 1904.

ASKS ACTION BY BOARD OF HEALTH.
Communication from 5rattleboro Select
men Regarding Conditions In the Rail-
road Yard.

road Yard
The condition of the yard at the Gen.
tral Vermont railroad station, which long
has been a source of annoyance and in
convenience to every person having to
pass through the yard has been brought
to the attention of the state board of
health in a letter written yesterday by
the selectmen Of Brattleboro, by James
F. Hooker chairman, to DIR. Henry ID.
Holton, secretary of the state board. The
text Of the letter is as follows:
THE selectmen of the town. OF Brattle-
boro enter complaint with your board in
regard to the condition Of the yard of
the Central Vermont Railway company at
Brattleboro. The mass of mud and filth
accommodating there is a. menace to the
health OF the community. The Railway
company, at a moderate outlay, could fiji
in the yard with cnders or granite and
keep II clean and wholesome. We request
that the board take action in this matter"
1t is the intention of the railroad COM
pany to build a new freight depot per-
haps a new passenger station within n
year or two, on the opposite side of the
tracks moving the tracks out into the
yard. General Manager G. c. Jones and
a surveyor have looked the ground over
within few weeks with that end in view.
The company does not wish to eXpend
much money in bettering the condition
OF the yard and have it go for naught,
nevertheless the public will welcome any
effort which may be put forth to make
the yard passable, and particularly any
effort to abate any menace to public
health

The Christmas Tree FIend.

In a letter to the Londonderry Sitter,
reprinted elsewhere in this paper NJ. ].
Hapgood Of Peru writes in his usual
vigorous way of the christmas Tree
Fiend"-in other words of the work
Of the men who at this season of the
year come into the New England hill
towns to buy evergreen trees for the
Christmas market Of the large cities.
These men have left their vandal marks
in various towns in Windham county,
but. If we mistake not, the owners Of
lands which are growing up to evergreens
have taken warning by experience and
by newspaper discussion and the trade
has not prospered hereabouts for the last
year or two The farmers do not like
the looks Of their pastures after these
men have been through them, cutting
out the best OF the young spruces and
frs. cutting them at any height from the
ground they choose, and leaving the
ragged, worthless stumps to stand The
timber growth is ruined and the land is
made worthless for generation to come
II the Christmas tree dealers paid to
the land owners anything like fair share
of the market value Of the young trees
there would be n partial excuse for this
wasteful desecration; but in point of fact
the land owners do not receive, on an
average. so much as one per cent. of the
value of the trees after they are landed
in the city markets. for it is only the
smaller ones that sell for less than a
dollar each. and the large, well-developed
ones sell for any price that rich men will
pay. 1t is high time that our farmers
who own land which nature is once more
making valuable stopped allowing them
selves to be buncoed by the Christmas
Tree Fiend."

escorted to a platform gay with flags. and the
speechmaking began. Alderman Doull. chair
man Of the committee Of arrangements. first in
troduced Dock Commissioner Featherson. who
gave a history Of the ferry. giving much
credit to the TaInmany administration pos
stble, and then turned the ferry to
Mayor Mcclellan. In his speech the Mayor said
in part:
Two years ago promised that before the ex-
pfratfon of my term OF office Staten Island
should have the best ferry service earth.
People Of Richmond. have kept my word.
On day like this, which marks great
achievement it is fitting that the credit for it's
accomplishment should be placed where 1t be-
longs. Without any wish to belittle the work
of the Board of Estimate. of the Sinking Fund
Commission of the President Of the Borough of
Manhattan and the President of the Borough
of Richmond; without any wish to detract from
the services of most efficient Dock Commits
sioner and his admira BILE corps of engineers tho
chief credit and thanks are due to the people
OF Richmond themselves.
At the suggestion of the Mayor. prominent
place in the celebration had been given to
George Cromwell. President of the Borough Of
Richmond who fought continually for eight
years for better transit facilities between Rich
mond and Manhattan When the ferryboat
Richmond was launched from Burlee's shpyard.

the Mayor, in speech. paid high tribute to Mr..
Cromwell and called the attention Of his hearers
to the fact that the President of the Borough Of
Richmond really the father of the
ferry"
President Cromwell followed Mayor Mcclellan.
making brief address He gave credit for the
new ferry service to Dock Commissioner
Featherson. Mayor Mcclellan. Mayor Low and
the people Of Staten Island. In ending he said
that he thought it the proper time TO shed
tear for the old hulks that had done such credit
able service for the people OF the island for SO
many years He hoped that the old boats would
never have to be used again for the transporta-
ton Of passengers.
When Mr.. Cromwell had finished his remarks
Alderman Doul gave general invitation TO the
Staten Islanders to accompany the officials from
Manhattan on their return trip. and about three
thousand persons awaited themselves of the in
vitation. The Manhattan started for Manhattan
at II 80 o'clock and the Richmond then entered
the slip. The Richmond started at ] o'clock on
the first regular trip from Staten Island the
passengers having to pay fare. Hundreds of
persons had stayed away from business in order
to make the first trip the new ferry. and the
Richmond carried about $500 passengers when
she pulled out of the slip At the same time the
Brooklyn of the new fleet. left the Manhattan
slip for st. George.
