Enosburgh Falls, Aug. 26.-Dorothy,
the two-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. II. J. C~avanagh, was burned to
death yesterday Afternoon in a barn on
their farm. which is located about five
miles from this village on the road
from ~Enosburgh Center to East Berk-
shire.
During the afternoon the eldest of
three children came running into the
house and announced that she had been
playing with matches in the barn n
had set the hay on fire. Mr.. Cavanagh
was at the Falls at the time and Mrs.
Cavanagh was alone with the children.
The barn was by this time hopelessly
in flames and Mrs. Cavanagh was dis
tractcd when she could not find Dor
othy. When there was nothing left
but ashes of the barn the bones of the
little girl were discovered In such a
position as to indicate that she perish

open.
Mr.. Cavanagh had an insurance of
1900 on his barn, tools and crops.
Some of tho tools were saved but the
loss Is nearly total and the insurance
will be but a slight remuneration.

FASCINATION or THE HARVEST
(From the Kansas City Starr

(From the Kansas City Starr
Thrust in thy sickle and reap; for the

harvest Of the earth is ripe.
There Is a fascination in the harvest
that weaves a wisp of romance into the
sheaves that are bound up these long.
sun-fooded days in Kansas, where the
harvest of the earth is ripe. 1t is not
alone a selfish rejoicing in the knowledge
that a generous yield means an absence
of want thai awakens the universal
interest in the sturdy army now march
ing against the battalions of bearded
grain in the Sunfower State and will
nave northward gradually as the har-

the sun shines less ardently. There is
| some thing Unborn in even the most ur-
ban of men that causes him to feel a
thrill of joy at the sight of a great wheat
! field waiting for the sickle.
1t is not alone the hope of profit that
causes the student to hasten from his
books and the man to drop his accustom-
ed vocation to join the busy toilers in the
fields. Many Of those who arise with the
earliest lark and labor until the long
shadows are lost in the dusk are not in
pressing need of the wages they receive
They could find more profitable employ
ment in less arduous work. There is some
other cause that sends them among
strangers for a season. There is a call oil
the harvest as there is a call OF the
wild. The call of the harvest was learned
in the days when Ruth. the Moabitess
bound up the heart of Boaz in the sheaVes

man of the family of Elimclech. The vivlc
lamentations of those early cleaners sa"
