Kinship.

I am the voice of the voiceless Through me the dumb shall speak,
 Till the deaf worlds ear
 Be made to hear The wrongs of the wordless weak. From the street, from cage and ken- mel, From stable and ZOO the vail
 Of my tortured kin
 Proclaims the sin Of the mighty against the frail. Oh shame on the praying churchman With his installed steed at the door,
 Where ihe winter beats
 With snow and sleet, And the summer sun rays pour. Oh shame on the mothers of mortals Who have not stopped to teach
 Of the sorrow that lies
 In deaths dumb eyes The sorrow that has no speech. The same force formed the sparrow That fashioned man. the king;
 The God of the whole
 Gave a spark of soul To furred and feathered thing. And am my brothers keeper And will light his fight,
 And speax the word
 For beast and bird Till the woT1i shall set things right.
 Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

FOR THE HORSES.
Animal Lover Would Improve the
 Flinders.

BunQefS.
 Editor of the Democrat:
 In going about the city I notice many horses driven with the blind bridle" on which the binders" or "blinkers" set so close to the eyes that the eyelashes strike against the leather, causing the horse great dis comfort. A good veterinary surgeon once told me that this caused blind ness in many horses as the eyelashes get into the eyes and cause inf1am- nation. Sometimes the bridle is too short and does not fit the horse and often it is out of shape or the straps which hold the binders away from the eyes are broken and allow the leather to strike them as the horse trots.
 Occasionally I see horse driven up a steep hill with check rein drawn tight. If man tried walk ing up hill with his head drawn back he would understand why his horse ought to be allowed loose check rein when going up hill especially when drawing a load.
 am sure that in most cases it is thoughtlessness and not intentional cruelty and hope word will set things right. Remember that the animals cannot speak for themselves and we must speak for them.

 The registration in the Yale law school this year is the largest in the history of the school. Three hundred and thirty-eight have registered as against 294 in 1906, an increase oi forty-five, and probably the largest proportional increase in numbers shown by any department of the uni versity.
 The appraisers of the estate of Charles J. Root of Bristol, who was killed in the automobile accident at Ashley Falls, Mass, August IS, has been filed with Judge Roger s. New ell of the probate court. MT Roots estate on which a conservative valu- tion has been placed by the apprais- CTS will net $1S0.OO0.
 The large stock barn of M. D. and B. R. Wells on Wells Hill, Lakeville, was burned last night with its con- tents, the loss approximating $10,000 Out of ten horses six were saved, the others and a large quantity of hay and farming utensils and machinery being lost. Two men, asleep in the barn at the time, saved themselves by jumping.
 Louis Frink was made present of thirty pounds of honey recently. He lives at Windham and some time ago a limb of tree in the road blew off and into his yard. The tree was an old one and the limb was dead and hollow on the inside. MT Frink found that there were bees in the hol- low of the limb and after smoking them out found thirty pounds of honey. The next day he found that the bees had swarmed in his barn.
 Because a domestic in the employ of MT and Mrs c. S. Hills of Hartford was of mind to get married she took what she fancied from the Hills resi- dence. About two weeks ago valu- ables began to disappear from the Hills house. Mrs Hills auto cloak, dresses and other garments went one by one for period of about two weeks. Private watchmen were put in the house, but the thefts continu- ed. Expensive wearing apparel would be missing in the morning and not latch or window casing in the house amiss to tell the reason why. Finally | a number of rings were taken, one with two diamonds in it. At the same time MT Hills missed $50. On Thursday Mrs Hills turned detective herself and taxed domestic with the thefts. After some denials the girl and Mrs Hills has been busy largely scattered ward robe for the last two days.

near the new freight house. The forms that were used in building the cement arch at that point were removed yesterday. The work of tearing down the old house formerly occupied by Italian families was fin ished day or two ago, the lumber being taken away, and the men are now clearing up the place. The large derrick that has been used there will soon be taken down, so when this is done this spot more than any other in the borough, shows the result of the changes made necessary in con- pleting the railroad improvements in this borough.

PICTURES AT EAGLES HALL.
 It must he very gratifying to Messrs Halliwell and McMahon to see the attendance increasing each Sun day night at their moving pictures and illustrated song entertainment. and the reason no doubt is that the public has confidence in their abil- itv to furnish q first-class entertain Tent and know that they are un- sparing in anything that will add to the enjoyment of their patrons. Now, like all picture houses, the managers might have their films sent by ex- press. thereby saving time and ex- press of two trips to New York In- stead they go personally to New York every Sunday, and on conditions of returning films Monday. receive pie lures that have just been made This enables them t0 show pictures that their patrons have never seen before. Special attention is also given to the illustrated song part of the entertainment and the general verdict of those who have heard George W. Graham sing is that he cant possibly he improved upon. He has a beau tiful tenor voice and will render some of the latest and most popular songs. The hest order has prevailed and those who have attended have compli- mented the management on the ex- cellCnce of everything connected with inc entertainment. The doors are open at 1:30 and the overture begins at SIS. The prices are 15 and 25 cents.

CRYSTAL SPRINGS TRUCK OUTLOOK.
The Vegetable Crop Very Far Advanc.
ed for the Season.


g. NJ, Huber, Crystal Springs
truck farming expert, issued last
Saturday the following summary
of weather and vegetable crop
conditions at that time. There
has been no change in the weather
condition since, except that the
Temperature has grown little
warmer:
Another week of April weather
in the middle of March. The
maximum temperature this week
has been from IA to SO as against
45 to 68 the corresponding week
last year: The minimum has been
so to "a as against % to AZ last
year The rainfall has been prac-
tically nothing 1.-THE merest show
Ier as against one of the heaviest
rains on record here, SAB inches
March 10, 1906. 1t has now been
two weeks since we have had any
rain of consequence. Continued
fair weather and the abnormal
heat of the past two or three
weeks, averaging more than 10
degrees above the normal, has
caused vegetation of all classes to
make rapid growth perhaps the
most rapid on record, The most
backward varieties Of trees are
nov putting forth foliage, whilst
nearly all varieties of trees are in
| full foliage.
The usual time for beginning to
transfer tomato plants from cold
frames to the fields is April 1st,
Ebut this season owing to the con-
tinued warm weather and the
more rapid development Of the
plants, it was necessary. in some
instances, to begin transplanting
the tomato plants much earlier.
Many have been transplanted dur
ing the past ten days. Those that
have been set in the fields more
than four or five days and espec-
tally where the conditions were
mot favorable, have suffered much
from the heat of the sun and the
lack of moisture in the soil and
humidity in the air. As result
some plants have perlshed, many
have been injured to some extent
resulting chiefly in being set
back because the top of the plant
has perished and it can now only
put forth new growth from under
meath the surface of the soil, max
ling it later in bringing fruit to
maturity. It is too early to esti.
mate the probable effect on the
crop4 Should we have showery
weather within a few days, which
lnow seems improbable, the dam
Iage would probably be slight. Il

Une OF the things the New Or
fleans & Great Northern Railroad
Company is doing for Monticello,
and which has not been mentioned
heretofore in this paper, is the
digging of a canal on The upper
Iside of their grade iq the western
part of the corporation that will
carry all the water from Runnels'
branch, now running back OF the
Methodist church, into Tan yard
branch at a point about fifty yards
Iaboye Julia CIay's. All the in
Itervening ground between Tan
yard branch and Town branch,
about a mile, will be an embank-
ment, varying in width from 25
/ to 100 feet, on one part of which
the depot will be situated. The
digging Of this canal is the hest
thing that has ever been contem-
plated for Monticello, as it will
drain marsh west Of town that
has always been menace to the
health of the community and will
also cause to fill up a branch in
the heart Of the municipality that
has been perpetual nuisance on
account of the many filthy holes
along its course. The work on
this embankment is progressing
rapidly and will be finished in
about thirty days.
