Mayor Collins Favorlte Poem, HE Who
Died At Azan.u

The late Patrick A. Collins, mayor OF
Boston, was an ardent lover Of poetry,
especially that which expressed the ten
derest sentiments, loving tributes and the
innermost thoughts and feelings of the
learned and the wise. Throughout his
very busy life he often found time to
scan the pages of the great poets. His
favorite selection, from Sir Edwin Arnold s
Light of Asia" is as follows:
He who died at Azan sends
Hope to comfort all his friends.
Faithful friends! 1t les / know,
Pale and white and cold as snow;
And We say, "Abdullahs deadl"
Weeping at the feet and head.
| can see your falling tears,
! can hear your signs and prayers;
Yet l smile and whisper this
II am not the thing you kiss;
Cease your tears, and let it lie;
1t was mine, 1t is not l."
Sweet friendsl what the women lave
For the last sleep OF the grave,
Is hut which / am quitting,
Is a garment no more fitting,
Is a cage from which. at last
Like a bird my soul hath passed.
Love the inmate, not the room
The wearer, not the garb-the plume
OF the eagle, not the bars
That kept him from those splendid stars
Loving friends! BE wise and dry
Straightway every weeping eye
What We lift upon the bier
Is not worth n single tear.
'Tis an empty -shell-one
out OF which the pearl is gone
The shell is broken. it lies there;
The pearl. the ALL the soul. is here.
'Tis an earthen jar. whose lid
Allah sealed, the while it hid
That treasure Of his treasury.
4 mind that loved him: let It lie!
Let the shard be earth's once more,
Since the gold Is in His store.
Allah glorious! Allah good!
Now thy world is understood;
Now the long. long wonder ends;
Yet We weep, my foolish friends,
While the man whom We call dead,
In unspoken bliss, instead.
Lives and loves you; lost. tbs true,
For the light that shines for you;
But In the light We cannot see
OF undisturbed felicity
In perfect paradise
And life that never dies.
Farewell. friends; But not farewell;
Where ] am, We, too shall dwell.
/ am gone before your face.
A moments worth. little space.
When We come where / have stepped
We will wonder why ye wept
We will know, by true love taught.
That here is all, and there is naught.
Weep awhile. IL we are fain;
Sunshine still must follow rain;
Only not at death-for death.
Now we know. is that first breath
Which our souls draw when we enter
Life, which is OF all life centre.
Be We certain all seems love,
Viewed from Allahs throne above;
BE We stout OF heart, and come
Bravely onward to your home.
Ia-ll Allahi Allah la,
o love divine, o love Away.
He who died at Azan gave
This TO those who made his grave.

When arrested he was placed under

lington for DR.. Morrow. Mr.. Brown said
that the damages sued for were larger
than any one ever would expect to re-
cover in n case of that character, that
DR.. Morrow had no real estate and had
n wife and child to support, that his
business, by reason of extensive adver-
Using, was just beginning to show returns
and would be ruined if he was obliged to
remain i'm Jail, and that the plaintiff
could gain nothing by having the doctor
kept in Jail.
He thought $4,000 bail would be ade-
quate. Mr.. Powell said he had no OBJ
lection to bail being reduced, but he
thought it ought not to be fixed at any
small sum. as he understood that the
doctor did not stay long in any one place.
He said Dr. Morrow had an automobile
and a launch also an insurance policy
protecting him against suits for mall
practice which was good for $4,000. Mrs.

PLEA FOR THE PLANTS.

Editor of the Phoenix:
Let me through your columns, add
my sentiments TO those expressed by Mrs
Davenport in a recent issue under
Spare the Plants" / think that chill
dren should be admonished by parents
and teachers about carelessly pulling up
plants by the roots while gathering wild
flowers. No doubt they have no thought
whatever of destroying plant life in their
JOY and eagerness to gather the beauti-
full wild flowers which abound on our
many hillsides, but as some of our most
attractive plants are easily pulled from
the ground little care will help to pre-
serve the species, The trailing arbutus,
wild columbine, pale cordalis, yellow and
pink lady's slipper seem to be suffering
In certain localities but perhaps not more
so than some others. The roots of plants
should not be removed without some use
full, practical purpose in view. There are
few l am sure, who would willingly and
knowingly eXterminate any rare species
of wild flower or fern. The fault doubt
less lies in the fact that very few people
know how to discriminate between rare
and fairly common plants, and this is
Just what the nature educators of today
are trying to bring about in their efforts
to disseminate knowledge of these sub
jects to the rising generation. Within
few years l have known of plants very
rare to our flora to be nearly exterminated
by indiscreet gathering.
l am sure all lovers of nature, and bot
anists as well, will rejoice to learn that
p. Braunii is not exterminated from the
flora of Brattleboro. l know of two sta
tons where it is growing luXuriantly.
One station l found myself and have
specimen from the place growing i'm my
fern garden to show to my pupils and
friends, thereby not exposing it's natural
abode as there is a fiourishing colony
left. The other station, which is of equal
ly attractive magnihcence, was found by
William c. Horton and remains intact
These two stations for the p. Braunii
are the only ones l have ever seer within
the limits of Brattleboro and we hope
they will not suffer the same fate as those
referred to by Mrs. Davenport.

Year-cOmmssIOner' instructions Re-
eardlns Licenses.
II. G. Thomas, state commissioner of
fish and game, is sending to town clerks
and county wardens application blanks
for license to hunt deer, together with the
following letter:
THE law enacted by the legislature

pay a license of SIS to hunt and take one
deer in Vermont during the open season.
was approved october 21st, one day be-
fore the season commenced. In the neces-
sary haste to formulate licenses, instruc-
tions to wardens, and distributing
throughout the state that hunters might
not be deprived of the privilege granted
under this law, errors were made in the
form Of license. Conditions and circum-
stances observed necessitated new forms
throughout for 1905. II you have in your
possession any blank applications for
licenses left from last year, you will
destroy the same. Licenses issued last
year were printed on white paper and
most of them are probably IL possession
of the licensee. There are those who
might attempt to use them for the COM
ing open season, therefore, the licenses
for 1905 are printed on red paper The
dates are all printed in both application
and license, except the date when the
license was taken out.
The season being shortened to six
days, / enclose applications and licenses
signed the same to be filled out and signed
by either the town clerk or county warden
and delivered to applicant upon receipt
of SIS. which you will forward with the
application Immediately, and not wait I'M
til Saturday when the season closes See
that no blanks are lost or destroyed as

those not used must be returned to the
commissioner October 3Oth."
Applications are already coming in for
licenses from non-residents. The open
season this year is from October % to

JUDGE STAPLES ON CIGARETTES

On Monday morning i'll his
charge to the grand jury, Judge
Staples again referred to the cigar
cite law, as he did at September
court. He addressed the jury in
the following words:
We also call the attention of this
grand jury to what we tried to inn
press upon the last grand jury, and
we think it no harm that this court
should present this matter at every
term. That is the law as to the
sale of tobacco, cigarettes and Gig
arctic papers to minors. The law
prohibits such sale We reiterate,
we called tue attention of the last
grand jury to this fact; but since
coming here this time / have seen
boys in Bloomsbury smoking Gig
arcltes on the street. The law pro-
vides that no person shall furnish
by sale, gift or otherwise cigarettes
or cigarette papers to a boy under
the age of twenty-one years. That
law was meant for a good purpose
There is no sensible man who will
deny the proposition that the smok-
ing of cigarettes is injurious.
have boys of my own, and | would
rather give my boy glass of beer
than put cigarette into his mouth;
for the boy that smokes cigarettes
will soon have the strong drink to
go with it. | think both of them
are evils but the strong drink is the
lesser evil Of the two; the testimony
Of physicians is to that effect.
Also it is against the law to fur
nish by sale, gift or otherwise to-
bacco to boys under the age of six
teen. 1t is for the entire commun-
ity and for you as representatives
of the county, to do all in your
power to see that these laws are
rigidly enforced, that they are
strictly observed. They never will
be observed unless the people be-
come interested in their observance.
Legislative enactments do not en-
force themselves; courts alone can
not enforce them. If we desire to
better the community, to have pub
lie peace, good order, prosperity,
advancement in the direction of the
good morals of society, we must
begin with the youth of the land
and especially with the boys AS
Court, we begin with you, gentle
men of the grand jury. and ask
you as representatives of the county
to impress it upon the citizens of
the community from which yon
respectively come that it is their
duty as we'll as yours to see to the
enforcement of these laws.

Judge Staples has ordered all bars
in Danvile to close from midnight
to 8 a. IN. South Danville is Just
across the bridge but it is in North
cumberland county and beyond the
jurisdiction of Judge Staples. Near
the bridge is the Susquehanna
House OF which Harvey Deitrick is
proprietor, and Harvey has grasped
the situation by announcing that
his bar is kept open all night, thus
enabling the thirsty Danvillian to
quench his thirst aftermidnight, or
tc brace up OH a very early matuti-
nal cocktail, simply by crossing the
bridge and producing the price.

There is a possibility that tie
bawdy houses have been closed per-
manently, because of the airing
they got in court on Monday, and
there is also a possibility that the
inmates will return and resume
business as soon as court adjourns
and Judge Staples has gone home.
The existence of these houses has
been a notorious fact for some
time, and the open manner in which
they have been conducted ought to
have made it very easy to procure
sufficient evidence to sustain an
indictment.

in washing away $50 feet of the

A steel rail track was laid on the
trestling and there was also a der
rick, both of which went into the
stream. This may put stop to
