Glider and champIain Sunset

The reading of religious and other
poems from Richard Watson elders
inspiring works by the Rev. DR..
Smart in connection with the vesper
service at the College street church
last evening recalls an incident in the
life of that sweet singer and gifted
author which has particular interest
for our readers in Vermont and New
York The Vermont commission on
the Champlain tercentenary endeav-
ored to secure Glider as poet for the
celebration in Burlington and though
unable to accede to the request, he
graced the occasion by his presence
as guest of ex-Gov. Edward c. Smith,
of st. Adams. During his visit the
poet was at dinner with other guests
in Governor Smiths splendid home
at the close of one of those days
which had Just enough clouds to
give it a glorious sunset" AS the
sun was on the point of dipping be-
low the Adirondack horizon a path
of golden sheen stretched across the
lake while a little later on the wes-
tern sky was suffused with the violet
and crimson and the multiplicity of
other tints which constitute the glory
of a sunset viewed from the Cham
plain valley. AS these brilliant hues
faded a purple haze settled over the
mountains like a "broodng spirit.
During the transition the poet had fire.

broad windows to feast upon every
possible detail of this vision and it

The Honest Man

The magazine editors who are look
ing for heart stories of human inter
est" might find subjects in these two
Vermont news items:
At the investigation by the public
service cmmission in Newport of the
Boston & Maine wreck at Orleans ia
which Fireman C. A. Bowles was kill
ed, Train Dispatcher Leberveau as
sumed the responsibility although
warned by the commissioners that he
need not testify against himself He
said the wreck was due to a mistake
in orders.
Because he did not want the blame
to be placed where it did not belong
James Valney, a we'll dressed and in
telligent tramp who said he lived in
North Adams, told the Bennington po
lice that he accidently set fire to a
barn in Arlington, which was des-
troyed. He was sentenced to not
more than a year nor less than eight
months in the state prison. But for
his concession no one would have
known the origin of the fire.
Here are two humble men who are
not posing as heroes or as martyrs,
but they have white streaks in their
make-ups where some of greater pre-
tensions similarly tested would have
shown the yellow Leberveau and
Valney are honest men and can hon

suear-coated Guilt

Now Arbunke Bros. confess that
they too, have been stealing from I'm
Gle Sam by means of false weights of
sugar at the customs house and have
refunded to the treasury over half a
million dollars supposed to cover the
frauds of a year or so. There was a
time when this kind of business
would be called high finance and
the men behind it glorified as cap
tains of industry and banquetted at
the Waldorf>Astoria and pictured in
Harper's Weekly.
And while that pomp and parade of
Mammon was being made, while this
knavish gluttony in the market place
was wallowing in more swinish lux
ury elsewhere, we stern-minded Puri-
tans would be spending few hun
dred dollars in fees to half dozen
deputy sheriffs trying to catch a one
legged boot-legger that was suspected
of having divided half pint of
split" with a Russian Jew from Can
ada in the spring of 1857 And
when we got him we would send him
TO prison for a year or two in order
to avenge the insult to the majesty
of the law Then we would turn again
with consciousness of holy duty done
relight our loss stick and burn it ador-
ingly before the greedy majesty of
greasy dollars.

Fredrick's Thoughts.

A young mother went upstairs one
evening to be sure that her son was
safely sleeping. As she paused at the
door of the nursery she saw her hus
band standing by the side OF the crib,
gazing earnestly at the child.
AS she stood still for moment, touch
ed by the sight, tears filled her eyes,
and she thought, "How dearly Freder-
ick loves that boy!" Imagine the shock
to her feelings when he suddenly turn
ed toward her aud said:
"Amela! 1t is incomprehensibl to
me how they can get up such crib as
this for three dollars and sixty cents"

WATER FAMINE STARES
\, CARTHAGE IN FACE
Company Made Good its Threat
to Discontinue Water Ser
vice. City Helpless in
Case Of Fire.

Carthage is dry town in one respect
at least--theres mighty little water
there. Or, rather, there's plenty of
water but it must be CARRIED in buckets,
barrels;or tanks by at lesst three fouFths
OF the citizens who use it. Those who
don't use it-wel they say there are a
few of them at Carthage, but they are
probably not affected by the dronth.
The long expected finally came to
pass last Friday shortly after noon
when the old water company disabled
its plant and discontinued the water
pressure. They threatened to do this
several weeks ago, when the work on
the new municipal plant had Just got
ten under way, bnt the city applied for
M injunction against such action. 1t
obtained the Injunction IN the Jasper
county circuit court, bot on appeal it
was dissolved by Judge Phillips in the
federal court last week. This hap
pened last Thursday and the water com
pany Immediately seiz-d its adgactage.
Their old engineer, who had openly
stated that he would not obey ordersito
shut off the water, WAS discharged eed
a new man came from Kansas City to
take his place. This new man at once
removed the valves from the force pumps
at the plant and taking them with him,
disappeared, this last act probably the
wisest he could have pulled off as
sequence to the other.
At four O'Clock it, was noticed the
pressure was weakening, and there was
rush to lay by supply OF the prPc
ious liquid, with the result that by six
o'clock there was po water 10 the ipes
Carthage was dry. As only fraction
Of the the town could be supplied from
The new system, work has been rushed

tent that the streets of the town resemble
mole hills more than thorough fares.
They are working night and day, Sun
day as well "a week days to complete
the piping OF the city. Without fire
protection, the bntest mention OF fire
| was FOR time almost sufficient cause
for panic The people are ealmer now
however, and though they have to bring
their water principally from the river
they declare that to get rid OF the water
company was worth the cost. The ac.
tion of the company is regarded as a
move to force the city to purchase theil
plant, as had been proposed some time
ago. This the city is determined moi
to do, whatever may be the cost of do
ing without fire protection for go long 8
time.

JOHNNY HITS THE ROAD.
Boy With WanderIust Makes Life
Interesting for Father.

Little Johnny Decker, son of Ernest
Decker of this city, is playing a game
at hide and seek with his father of such
broad proportions that it has cost the
latter nearly a hundred Ollars in railroad
fares in the attempt to keep track of his
son i'm less than a month.
Johnny thinks it great sport, and,
though he has been under arrest and
threatened with confinement at the In
dUstrial school, he only makes his es-
capades more interesting. He is but
thirteen years of age, vet he can give
all the scientific expressions of the hobo
of how best to ride a freight train and
the rods of the passenger.
While lOOhing for advice with the pO-
lice yesterday Ernest Decker explained
that he had last located his son in Pc
Catello. He says that while leaving he
car which he and his son occupied, a few
minutes at ogden. he returned to find
his son missing. He says that Johnny is
not a bad boy. but is simply possessed
with a desire for rough travel.
Reporting the loss Of his boy to thu
ogden police. he had him recovered, and
with his hand gripped tightly at the
youngsters sleeve brought him back to
Salt Lake. Yesterday noon he asked that
the yOungstar be locked up until he could
devise some scheme of keeping him at
home.
