RAY COLLINS HOME
Young American League Pitcher to
ts5 Winter in Burlington.

Burlington, Vt, Get. 1S.-Gay Col
Inns arrived in the city yesterday
morning from Boston and will spend
the winter here with his mother. Mrs.
F. S. Collins of Brooks avenue.
Regarding the game he pitched
against McGraws New York Giants
in the postsession series at Boston
last week, Mr. Collins said:
Il had a little luck, that's all"
However. sporting writer's who saw
the game thought there was some
thing to it beside luck, for they
praised the work of Collins, terming
him the original kid giant killer.
The work of Collins the past sea
sen in the major league was the most
conspicuous of any of the college re-
cruit pitchers Breaking. into the
ranks at nearly mid-season and with
only college experience in base
ball, the boy practically accomplished
wonders. He did not have any sea
soned and veteran catcher to work
with, but he succeeded in striking
out the phenomenal ginger snap.'
Ty Cobb. and doing other stunts with
the Detroit bunch, when the Tigers
were hitting their hardest.
The sensation came, though, in the
post-season series between the Red
Sox and Giants. when Collins held
the redcubtable Giants to four sing
les holding such sluggers as Cy Sey-
mour and Arthur Devlin at his mercy.
The only Christy Mathewson worked
against him which alone was enough
to get the nerve of a new and young
pitcher
Collins is the first native major
league man that Burlington has ever
furnished and is one of the very few
that Vermont has sent out.

The Question Whittier.

When we have thrown off this old suit,
so much In need of mending,
To sink among the naked mute,
Is that. think you, our ending?
We follow many. more we lead,
And you who sadly turf us,
Believe not that all living seed
Must flower above the surface.
Sensation is a gracious gift,
But were II cramped to station.
The prayer to have it cast adrift
Would sprout from all sensation.
Enough II we have winked to sun,
Have sped the pillow season;
There is a soul for labor done,
Endureth fixed as reason
Then let our trust be firm in Good,
Though we be of the fasting;
Our questions are mortal brood.
Our Work is everlasting.
We children of Benehcence
Are in its being sharers;
And Whittier vainer sounds than Whence,
For word with such wayfarers

If the advice of the Rutland Herald
is followed literally, there will be lots
of human male "carcasses" in that
vicinity, for the contemporary, in
drawing conclusions on the latest
crime in Wallingford, urges lone
women in sequestered cottages to
arm themselves and shoot to kill on
the moment male person crosses
their threshold. Surprising, neigh
Dor, it should be a mild, but persis-
tent book seller that was. punctured
by lead missile; what then. Would
the law always eXonerate a woman
when she shoots a man, because he
is man and he steps over her TIRES
hold against her wish? Perhaps the
Herald did not mean its advice to be
taken literally and without proper
discrimination between men.-Barre
Times.
If the slaughter were all confined
to mild" booksellers the accumula
ton of carcasses that would follow
an adoption of the Herald's rather
strenuous advice would not make any
material increase in the undertakers
receipts. But to take a more serious
view of the problem presented there
is certainly an opportunity for some
drastic action to secure the protec-
ton of women who either live alone
in isolated country districts or are
left by themselves during the day
One of the worse pests of the pres
ent day is the horde of brazen agents
that sweeps through the rural dis
tricts during the summer months.
They force themselves insultingly
into homes against the wish of the
women residents and in many in
stances are anything but honest in
their dealings. The writer has no
wish that these sharpers be punctur-
ed by lead missiles; far better
weapon would be a heavily-booted
pedal extremity properly APP
piled The weak spot in this method,
however, is the fact that the ladies
shoes are all too small and they have
never had any active experience in
the great American game of football

The Problem of vaaabondlsm.

What we shall do with the dere-
licts is a great and increasing prob
lem. 1t has not been settled salts
factorily in any great community
An official statement recently issued
is to the effect that many thousands
of former good workmen have be
come so enamored of life of idle
ness during the last IS months that
they refuse to return to work now
that occasion offers. We could wish
that the statement were untrue. II
is lamentable if it is correct. What
every human being needs is some
stimulus, some mental food as well
as a care for creature wants. The
actual necessities of life are few. The
comforts are increasingly expensive.
1t will require more wisdom than is
now available to establish system
which shall be wholly satisfactory.
but it does seem as if we might be
making more progress

100000 of bonds recently authorized
for water works and electric light
plant by the voters of Fargo, if the
supreme court decides that the bonds
are legally authorized. Attorney
General Miller, who conducted the ne
gotiations for the bonds, wants to be
satisfied On several points with ref
erence to the bonds, and will not APP
prove their purchase until the supreme
court has passed on them. One of
the matters raised in connection with
the bonds is as to whether a blanket
issue can be authorized for two pur-

each purpose. The case before the
supreme court to obtain a decision
with reference to the bonds will prob
ably be advanced on the calendar so
that an early decision may be had.
