SECTION MEMS STRIKE
NOT VET SETTLED

So far as can be observed here the
section and trsckmen's strike on the
d. 4 R. q. road is not inconveniencing
the company to any great extent.
Trains are running on the same sched-
ule a. before the trouble began and
with . regularity that indicates but
little embarrassment on the part Of the
operating department.
The strike has been in progress about
. week and NO perceptible advantage
has been gained BY the dissatisfied men,
although they express the hope OF win
ming in the end.
The majority Of the section men here
went out when the strike was declared
and the company will endeavor 70 get
along without them until the pending
difficulty 10 settled unless serious
washouts should occur, which lie not
thought likely.
Last Saturday the company brought
forty Itsaiens here and they were given
the places of the strikers. According
10 the statement Of the president Of the
brotherhood, who 10 conducting the
strike, more than 1900 men are, now
out. The trouble between the COM
pany and its employees is in relation to
wages.

supreme court at the session begin

status of Jamaica ginger as an intox-

the technical charge of selling lntox-

The Tax DODGERS.

Judging from income tax statis-
tics, millionaires are scarce in Ber-
lin, especially when the assessors
are making their annual visits. Only
one person in the German capital is
taxed on an income of $750,000,
while only three are rated as having
incomes as high as 100000 and
only nine between $25O,OOO and
$50O,OOO. However, in Berlin, as in
New York and other cities, it is a
generally known fact that property
is liable to a severe shrinkage when
the assessor is abroad.-New York

Star Routes.

The discontinuance of star routes
in one or two localities in Windsor
county has been met with much
strenuous and reasonable opposition.
A year or two ago the stage between
South Woodstock and Felchville
was taken off, greatly to the incon-
venience Of residents of that village
and others all along the line from
Woodstock to the southern part OF
the county. The rural mail delivery
service covers some of this territory,
but there is still section cut off
from mail communication with the
rest of the world. Hence there is a
natural protest and a growing num-
Der Of petitioners for the resumption
Of the stage route.
South Woodstock business men
say that it now takes four days to
send letter and get a reply from
Hammondsville, not ten miles away,
which would have been slow trav-

would seem as if the residents out of
reach of the mails had quite as much

A LEAF FROM CLERMONT HISTORY

Twas morn on Minneola's shore,
December nineteen, nineteen four,
Before the people of the town
Had TO their duties settled down.
While wooing sleep did calm the brain,
We thought we heard the rumbling train.
The village dogs barked deep and loud,
With seeming haste to call Il crowd.
Thon soon a cry rang out like fire
In haste we dressed with scant attire.
With fear we at the flames did gaze,
Twas neighbor Pierce's house ablaze.
The fierce and angry flames lea ed high
And lighted all the groves near by
And into cottage windows peeped
| To rouse the inmates from their sleep.
With water in the wells 50 deep,
Well might the flames in freedom leap,
! What man has done, still man can do,
4 The same is true of woman, too;
Men worked with eager hearts and spry
While women drew the water high.
The chain went up, the chain went down,
| Faith said, "The fire we soon will drown"
While Doubt, with eager, watchful eye,
Said much fear but hard we'll try"
OF sandspurs we meier gave thought
! While we the precious water brought
From one deep well of fifty feet,
And DER two fences quick did leap.
What though the fence was barbed with
wire,
Our thoughts were of the Pierce's fire;
But one who of the fence stood fear,
Cried, Water, pail of waters herel"
Although the fence was hard to mount,
This obstacle we did surmount
With monstrous axe and dull of blade,
Then the fence was soon waylaid.
| Nosrt oarno a heap Of tnOrny brush,
That oft would catch us in our rush;
But with our eyes on yonder blaze,
| 1t did not much impede our ways.
Twas many times we went and came
With water pals to quench the fame
Ere came the call, loud, shrill and clear,
Come, Pomfret, all of Pomfret here!"
But Pomfret still kept on and worked,
For they we'll knew they had not shirked.
A happy thought, some one had found
That this good, sandy Clermont ground,
Did with the water good unite, g.
And lent its aid the flames to fight.
In time the flames were all subdued,
But what a sorry sight we viewed!
Outside the house and in the street,
The contents of their home we greet.
With bundles here and bundles there,
What wonder that the passers stare!
And one securely tied was found
Near by Kern's store upon the ground
The flames controlled, kind Mrs. Reed
Devised thought, and then with speed
Home went and coffee quick did make,
Of which all needed to partake.
Kind Mrs. Vaughan, with thoughtful heart
Was anxious, too. to do her part,
So breakfast invitations sent,
And they to Hotel Markham went.
That morning ere the roof was cold,
The village carpenters took hold
To quick repair the damage done;
And ere two settings of the sun.
With help of our Vermonters, too,
To show Clermont what they could do,
Kind Comrade Pierces smoky ell
Has now different tale to tell.
Al AL --i---~l----il-.-l-e a.aA--.-
Has taken on an added grace,
For now without her former dread
With ease she bakes her daily bread.
Why, why another woe we ask,
And why another added task2
Our Heavenly Father, good and wise,
Oft sends us blessings in disguise.
