We have heard. down here in Cactus
how they want 40 handsome mel
a. Inauguration escort when Marcl
Fourth arrives again;
And we want to say Quit looklni lol
there amt, above the sod,
ANY bunch of handsome hombreys thai
can touch our beauty squad.
There's Bear Hawkins and his brother
him we call the ella Kid
Neither one wears shirts that dazzles
nor a shiny stovepipe lid;
Rear is shy some fingers, mebhe, but you
bet his chin amt weak,
And the ella Kid is handsome when he
turns his scarless cheek
There's Poker Bill, who's slender and as
languid as girl
Them hands can sling revolvers In the
fancy double whirl
And fer beauty that's more rugged there's
old Jim who drives the stage
Plain alkali's his powder, and his tayrlte
scent is sage.
Though we don't wearg golden medals
that was give at beauty shows,
Though we don't sport patent feathers,
and we're shy Of eyenin' clothes,
Though There amt no dudes in Cactus
leastways none that we can
catch
We can hold our own, we're thinkin', IN
this beauty -seekin' match

Says an exchange: 1--WE should call
NJ. j. Hapgood of Peru anything but
crazy. Sensational he may be, fond OF
doing and saying spectacular things he
may be, but he is far from unbalanced
He stands four square on about every
proposition that affects the veal and
progress of Vermont. That he may be
misguided in coming to the rescue Of an
undesirable character, simply because OF
that persons unusual fertility, may be
attributed in part to his surplus OF the
milk of human kindness and in part to
his disinclination to avoid the limelight
OF publicity"
The trouble with Hapgood is that he
IS so generous hearted that he allows
that characteristic to get some distance
in front of his head, thus tending to
obscure his clear vision of the proper
balance of situation Hapgood errs
too much in the line Of big-heartedness,
If that may be called an error; and it
certainly does warp ones Judgment at
times.

Nothing and Something.

ut is nothing to me" the beauty said
With careless toss of her pretty head
THE man is weak if he can't refrain
From the cup you say is frought with
pain"
II was something to her in after years
!, men her eyes were drenehed with burn
ing tears,
And she watched in lonely grief and
dread.
And startled to hear staggering tread
II Is nothing to me, the mother said;
Il have no fear that my boy win tread
The downward path of sin and shame,
And crush my heart and darken his
name.
II was something to her when that only
son
From the path of right was early won,
And madlv cast in the flowing bowl
A ruined body and sin-wrecked soul.
at Is nothing to me- the merchant said
As over his ledger he bent his head:
4 HI UuSA AbhdN Will GtIt anu LFRbs
And have no time to fume and fret"
1t was something to him when over the
wire
A message came from the funeral pyre--
A drunken creditor had wrecked a train,
And his wife and child were among the
slain.
1T is nothing to me-" the young man
cried;
In his eyes was flash Of scorn and
pride
Il heed not the dreadful things You tell;
/ can rule myself, know full well"
Twas something to him when in prison
he lay,
The victim Of drink, life ebbing away;
As he thought of his wretched child and
wife,
And the mournful wreck Of his wasted
life.

THE party's loss is my greatest dread"
Then gave has vote for the liquor trade.
Though hearts were crushed and drunk

And her hungry children cried for bread,
And trsmblsd to hear their fathers

handling them. It was his unfamiliarity
with the guiding Of The machine that
brought the two men directly in the path
of the fast.moying train. There can
hardly be any other excuse for the unfor

Wesleyan university has declared a
closed season on the hunted "quails" at

the use of the undignifed name applied

of the hardest sort, since Wesleyan has

PRESTON's me TREES.
Here Are Some GIant Locusts, willow
Apple, and Cherry.

The Terra Alta Republican publishes a
letter from j. Nj. Jeiiries regarding big
trees in Preston county and says; Do you
know of any other unusually large trecs2
If these are not the biggest in Preston
county the Republican would be glad TO
hear of the Others. II you have huge
tree of any kind on your farm, or II you
know OF one, measure IL carefully and
send the facts TO the Republican for pub
lication. The letter follows:
Perhaps your many readers will bo in
tercsted in the size OF some Of the large
trees in Preston county. ID. l.. Kecfover,
who lives close 10 the Bethel church, near
Reedsvillc, has two native willows on high
land near spring. One Of them is l3
feet inches I'm circumference two feet
above the ground. The other il l3 feet
in circumference. Each il nearly seventy
five feet in height and has IA wide top.
Felix Jeilers, OF the Whetsell settle
mcnt, has locust tree l3 feet inches i'm
circumference and about seventy. Ave feet
high, and an apple tree feet . inches in
circumference. These apple trees are be-
lieved 10 bc nearly 100 years old Last
June they were in healthy bearing con-
ultiOI.
Living right here in the woods we have
not paid much attention TO the monarchs
OF the forest, but have devoted our time
to the raising OF small fruits. We have a
cherry tree right in the heart of King
wood that is 10 feet in circumference and
last spring bore an immense crop. II
seemed as II all the birds Of the universe
took luncheon thereon. The tree stands
close by the shoe shop Of James o. Hara,
Democrat OF the old school, and dur
ing the hot summer days hc reyels in the
welcome shade while lac peruses his ARGUS
and casts pitying glanccs at his benight-
ed Republican neighbors swelterine across
the street, probably thinking Of the roast
ing they'll get in the hereafter II they do
not change their politics.
