or more, suffering severly at times
with rheumatism. He was noticed
laving on the ground by man
who was driving by the farm. he
also noticed that Mr.. Robinson was
waving his hat at him in order to
attract his attention, but he was
driving a fractions team and was
forced to find some object to tie 1t
to before he could go to Mr.. Rob-
inson's side and in the meantime
he met Mr.. Pitt1nan, who hurrldly
rushed to Mr.. Robinson's rellef'

very severely from reports, as his
clothing was badly torn and MS

The Two Glasses

There sat two glasses filled to the brim
On rich mans table rim to rim,
One was ruddy and red as blood,
And one as clear as the crystal flood.
Said the glass of wine TO the paler brother;
lies us tell tales of the past to each Other
can tell of banquet and revel and mirth,
And the proudest and grandest souls on earth
Fell under my touch as if struck by blight,
Where was king, for ruled in night
From the heads of kings have torn the
crown,
From the heights of fame have hurled men
down;
| have blasted many an honest name;
| have taken virtue and given shame,
have tempted the youth with sip, taste
That has made his future barren waste.
Greater, far greater than king am |,
Or any army beneath the sky,
| have made the arm of the driver fail,
And sent the train from the iron rail-
have made good ships go down at sea,
For they said Behold how great you be!
Fame, strength, wealth, genius before you
For your might and power are over ALL.
Ho! Ho! pale brother, laughed the wine,
Can you BOAST of deeds as great as miner"
Said the glass of water: Il cannot boast
Of a king dethroned or a murdered host; >
But can tell of a heart once sad,
By my crystal drops made light and glad:
Of thirsts I've quenched, of brows I've
laved,
Of hands | have cooled, and souls have
saved;
have Ieaped through the valley, and dash
ed down the mountain,
Flowed in the river, played in the fountain,
Slept in the sunshine dropped from the sky
And everywhere gladdened the landscape
eye.
I've eased the forehead of fever and pain:
have made the parched meadows grow
fertile with grain;
I can of the powerful wheel of the mill,
That ground out the flour and turned at my
will,
can tell of manhood debased by you,
That have lifted and crowned anew.
| cheer, help, strengthen and aid,
| gladden. the heart of man and maid
I SET the chained wine-captive free;
And all are better for knowing me-"
These are the tales they told to each other,
The glass of wine and the paler brother,
AS they set together filled to the brim,
On rich mans table rim to rim.

TWO UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS.
They Were Punched by Sheriff Davis
and Sent to Newfane.

In an effort to clear the local freight
ward of undesirable citizens who have
made this place resort during the
past few months, Deputy Sheriff Nj. r.
Davis spent Wednesday evening m the
vicinity of the local station. When
the $3.50 freight pulled in two men were
seen to get off the train while another
climbed onto one of the empty freight
ears The officer corraled the three
men and put them through series OF
questions, ascertaining their names,
where they were from and where they
were going. what their work was and
how long they intended TO remain in
town. All three of the men said they
were going to leave that evening. Mr.,
Davis explained to them that 1t was
highly desirable to rid the town OF its
floating population and that while ne
was sorry for anybody who had to beg
and catch rides on trains from one
place to another, yet it was absolutely
necessary that tramps should be kept
from coming to Brattleboro. He also
told them that it was against the law
to catch rides on freight trains and
that they must not remain in Brattle.
boro. When the freight pulled out
from the lower end of the yard about
an hour later, the trainmen brought
the freight to stop and put off two
men Wn0m tNey Salu lney Hdu tUiu Hob
to ride 1t was found that these two
men were the same ones whom Mr..
Davis had ordered off the train earlier
in the evening. Mr.. Davis asked them
if they did not intend to get out OF
town by some other means than freight
trains and one of them said that they
wanted to ride and did not care to
walk. On being asked if they were
going to get out of town that night
they replied that the next town was
too far away and that they were tired.
The officer said that he would place
them in the local police station during |
the night and would report the. matter
to the station agent and state 8 attor-
ney in the morning, which be did.
They were brought before Judge Il;
w. Gibson Thursday morning and
pleaded guilty to the charge of va
grancy. They gave their names, as
Harry Becker and John Grebel. both
of New York city. Becker claimed
that his father is police officer in
Far Rockaway, N. Y. Grebel said that
he had only mother living. Both men
were sentenced to Is days at the conn-
tv iail in Newfane and upon their dis
charge they were promised work by
Agent 0. ]. Rowe, to enable
them to reach their homes in New
York.
