VILLAGE SMITH REELECTED.
Second Term as President of North
Pelham for Reilly.

NEW YORK, March 2O.-James Reilly.
the Village Blacksmith" was reelected
president Of North Pelham yesterday on an
Independent ticket. He scored his second
victory over the combined republican and
democratic forces, which put up a fusion
ticket headed by ex-President William
Edinger.
Having been ignored by both parties, de-
spite the fact that his administration had
been the most economical in the history of
the village, Reilly decided to run again
for vindication. Between shoeing horses
and setting tires during the past week he
succeeded in calling enough citizens into
his shop to sign petition which enabled
him to get his name on the official ballot
1t was within an hour of the time for all
nominations to be filed when Reilly who
has won the name of Honest JIM" called
at Clerk Caffreys home and handed in his
petition.
When questioned as to the emblem he
desired to run under, the blacksmith said :
THE old anvil has always been good
enough for me- 1 guess it is good enough
now" So James Reilly, blacksmith, in
dependent candidate for president" was
printed under the anvil.
When the polls closed the party man
ayers who had been working against the
blacksmith were sure that he was beaten
They didn't admit their own defeat until
a complete count showed that Reilly had
majority of 35. Reilly ran so strong
that the candidates who succeeded in get
ting in his column were also elected.

Record Herald.
HAVANA, March Is, 1907
The United States army has done itself
great credit in Cuba. There has not been
the slightest trouble with the soldiers; they
have behaved themselves In an exemplary
manner; the arrests have been few; there
has been no disorder whatever, and no al
tercations with the natives. Their heaitn
has also been remarkable. Shortly after
the arrival of the troops last October there
were several cases of typhoid fever, Whlch
they brought with them, but 1t was soon
stamped out, and the sick list for Fepru-
airy, including accidents. was Il per cent.
That is remarkable. There have been very
few deaths, hardly enough to calculate
percentage.
When they arrived here the troops were
admonfshed as to their duty, to conduct
themselves so as to furnish good exam
pie to the Cubans and to promote lndl-
vidually so far as possible, the pacifcation
of the country. They were told that they
were not here to fight, but to serve as an
object lesson and a moral force, and they
have followed these instructions with das-
erection that deserves the highest commen-
dation
The officers and their families have been
a valuable addition to the social life Of
Cuba and the soldiers are almost un1ver-
sally popular with the people. The army
is scattered pretty well over the island.
There are several posts in each of the
provinces, with one, two or three companies
at each, and the best test Of their popular
ity is the protests that are always made
by the citizens when they are ordered away.
The citizens object to changes also Like
all the Latin races. the .Cubans are suspl-
cious and diStrustful of strangers. 1t takes
some time to get their confidence, but when
they become convinced that you are sin
cere and sympathetic they are as trustful
as a child. Hence they don't like changes.
The same is true in the Philippines.

Co,ilion Club for the Winter.

The Cotilion club has decided to
continue the club this winter and
will hold the meeting for reorganiza-
ton and election of officers the first
Sunday. In October. The lack of a
suitable r-lace - for the dances has
caused the club to hesitate about re-
organizing. The announcement that
Il has decided TO entertain as usual
this winter is pleasant one, as So
cial life with the Cotilion club elimi-
mated would be bereft indeed. The
club dances last winter were some of
the most attractive affairs given and
the club is always prompt to honor
visitors.

WHEN SUMMER DIED.

When Summer died we never marked
the day.
For all the world was beautiful and
gay;
And though the awestruck heavens
held their breath,
How could we know such lovely calm
meant death?
The brook stlll ran with laughter
thro' the wood,
a crystal Undine in the solitude;
And Ike the feaihered echo in the
bush,
The mockiHg-bird still answered lark
and thrush.
No cloud or shadow dimmed the sky
blue sheet,
Only a butterfly amid the wheat.
With failing breath its languid sails
all furled,
And anchored in the peoples dow
.impearled.
How could we know our loss when in
its place
Was left such treasure of resplendant
grace;
How could We miss IL Summer,
when at noon
The burning bush outflamed like
June,
