Earth.
We've had our share Of JOY and
mirth.
The seasons acted aS they ought
Though summer was quite cool,
thought:
The holidays were glad and gay;
The months marched by their usual
way:
May smiled so brightly we forgot
That April wcpt an awful lot.
"Wcll, anyhow, the year T., past
It's all used up to-day, the last.
And So before the midnight chime,
Give me another, Father Time"
"Wcll, we'll. said Time. III i,
your due:
Here's nineteen hundred and five for
You
But take it not ami,s, ! pray,
II !, Il word Of warning say;
Don't waste this year, but spend
it well;
And when its gone, come back and tell
How you've improved each day and
hour
by every means within your power"
"Oh, yes, indeed" said Mother
Earth
ITS going to- he a year Of worth,
Good resolutions I'll make,
And not one of them I'll break"
Old Times eyes twinkled, "Oft be-

He said, "Tvc heard those tales of
yOrc.
Yet If you try real hard, my dear,
Perhaps you will succeed this year. ="
"Good-day," said Mother Earth,
"Good-day,"
And with her year she walked away.
Now, children, don't you think you
could
Help her to make her promise good,
II each of us in our heart,
Should daily strive to do our part?

In Box Car, Throat Cut.

Corpus Christi, Tex. , Jan. 10
Having been thirteen days with.
out food or water, with his throat
cut from ear to ear, Noah #. Bat
ten, an artesan well contractor
still has good chances for recov.
cry.
Christmas Day Baten came to
town, drew considerable money
and got drunk. Tuesday night,
Dec, y, he disappeared and there
was no trace except large pool OF
blood where he had been seen sit
ting in door way.
Foul play was suspected and an
arrest was made The bay was
dragged and every place within
the city wherein body could
have been concealed was search
ed, and officers from other towns
came to assist.
Yesterday afternoon at Robs-
town, u small station twenty
miles from here, laborer5 heard u
peculiar noise in u sealed box.car
that had been standing on the
siding there for twelve days.
Forcing the door open they
found Baten laying on the floor
with two CHASTITY knife wounds
in his throat on which the blood
had CONCEALED, The injured man
was brought here to a hospital.
Under restoratives he was able
TO speak this morning.
Baten said he had no recollec.
ton as to how he got into the
car.
The last he remembered was
when he was seated in the rear of
store in Corpus Christi, when
some one came up to him and ex-
claimed, 81 have got you now"
and stabbed him in the throat
twice with II knife. On the night
the assault was commivted the
box car in which Baten was found
was in the Corpus Christi yards,
at least half mile from where he
was attacked. How his assail-
ant or assai!ants succeeded in
getting the wounded man into
the car without leaving behind a
trace of blood or some other clue
is inexplicable.
Physicians state that the only
way Batten could have kept alive
so long without food and water, is
owing to the comatose state in
which he existed from the time of
the assault until the time he
was found, exactly thirteen days.
While the injured mans condi-
ton is critical, chances favor re-
covery.

strong, buyers finding it impossi-
BILE to wiring any concession what
ever from holders of what little
wool there 10 left for sale. With
the exception Of fine ileeces, the

been paid in western Idaho, as
high as zoe. IN New Mexico and
lIc in Oregon.

bales, a. compared with 1l,llN

The total receipts since January
have been 11,7Sl bales domestic
and 3,4OO bales foreign wool,
against 1905 bales domestic and
1922 bales foreign wool for the
corresponding time last year.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 1,735.0O0 pounds of

eign, making total OF 2,235, 900

Believe Neutrality was violated.

Toxic, April 1ss--It is calculated here
that the Russian squadron arrived at
Kamranh Bay at noon April IL and
therefore had been occupying the port
IS hours when seen at noon, April
IA.
Information regarding the vessels of
the Russian squadron being at Kam-
ranh Bay April Ia, reached Toxic yes
terday and was given to the public
through brief communication from the
navy department.
The news was a surprise because it
was generally doubted chat France would
permit the use of her ports to bellig-
erent squadron engaged in offensive OPP
erations. The Japanese government is
silent on the subject of its intentions
but it is expected it will make imme-
date representations to France.
The response Of France is eagerly
awaited, particularly as to whether
France admits the squadron Is within
territorial waters France denied the
Russian squadron was within territorial
waters when off Madagascar. III she
denies in this instance it will give Jap
an an opportunity to attack the Rus
sian vessels without violating Frances
neutrality.

BOYS CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Several Hundred Newsboys in Indianap-
oils in Panic.

Indianapolis, Ind, April is. Frenzied
by false alarm of fire, several hundred
newsboys, struggling to obtain free tic
kets to show by a patent medicine
advertising company, stampeded in a
narrow stairway in the Masonic Tenn
pie last night, crushing the life out of
four boys and probably fatally injuring
several other children.
1t is alleged by a witness that one
of the boys, in an endeavor TO hasten
the exit Of those who had received pass
q, shouted "fre." Immediately those
at the top Of the stairs faced about and
madly began TO force a way to the
bottom of the steps. Shriel<s and physi-
cal encounters followed and those at
the top became SO closely entangled
that the mass of boys fell, clinging to
each other in the struggling mass of
youths at the bottom of the stairs.
Policemen from Central station re-
sponded to a riot call and began to
extricate the smothering boys -Four
boys were dead when uncovered. The
boys fought desperately to get free and
dozens were injured by the first crush
or were hurt by the subsequent scramble
for air.

NEW RAILROAD COMPANY.

st. Albans, April is. The West Riv-

new company which is to be formed in
this city on Thursday, and the develop.
ment of this line, which viii be the old
Brattleboro & Whitehall railroad, re-
built as a standard guage and an up
to-date railroad property, will mean
much to southern Vermont and espec-
tally Windham county, where consider
able new country win be opened.
The New London Northern Railroad
company at the February term Of the
United States Circuit Court, foreclosed
mortgage which it held on the Brat
tleboro & Whitehall Railroad company
and obtained decree for the sum Of
S15o,000 with $50 costs, to be paid on
or before the 2Sth of March last, or
the decree to become final, the property
reverting to the owners.

HEAVIER THAN EXPECTED.
Was the Loss on Burlington Church
Saturday Evening.

Burlington, April u.s.. Representatives
of the insurance agencies of I. S. Peck
and Hickok & Hickok state that the
damage done by the fire at the cathe-
dral Sunday evening will aggregate
much larger sum than was at first sup
posed. The interior of st. Patricks
chapel will have to 60 through thor
ough renovation, as the great clouds
of smoke which rolled through it black
ened everything. The decorations and
statues, both in the chapel and cathe-
drai win have to be retouched. One OF
the largest items Of loss is the costly
vestments. Although they were un-
harmed by the fire proper, they were
seriously damaged by the smoke and
water. This raiment is of such material
that it is almost impossible to patch
it up, and great many pieces are rem
dered practically useless.
The fire came at the most inoppor-
tune time of the year, in the lenten
season, and it will be impossible for
the insurance adjusters to give correct
estimate Of the loss for at least two
weeks. 1t is expected that matters
will be arranged so that the adjusters
will begin work week from Thurs
day.
