when he stepped forth and signed as a

That same quality of leadership caused
his steady advancement through the

Rebellion ended he had reached the grade
OF captain Entering the regular army
service of the reunited nation, he went
from efficient service to efficient service,
chiefly in the frontier warfare, gaining
considerable renown and unstinted COM

Thereby, he was enable to win the title
of major on his retirement from active
service, having given the greater part OF
his years to his country and having sac
rifced career which promised much in
some other activity of life, because of
the natural abilities of the man. Major

old soldier, about whom novelist might

Vanished Dangers.

He used to hate the idle rich,
And often spoke with dread
About the fearful dangers which
Were looming up ahead;
He saw a time when blood would flow
And anarchy be rife;
But that was when his funds were low
He had the luck year ago
To get a wealthy wife.
He used to say the millionaires
Were blinded by their greed;
He thought the world and its affairs
We're managed wrong, indeed;
He saw the time when class and mas.
Would wage a bloody strife,
When chaos would prevail. Alas!
Since then change has come to pass
He has wealthy wife.
He cannot understand to-day
Why those who toll complain;
The ills he feared are cleared away
No signs of strife remain.
Content TO let things drift along,
He lives an easy life,
Forgetting, if sometimes the strong
Cypress the weak, that it is wrong;
He has q wealthy wife.

On a Salary Basis.

The House on Wednesday adopted a
joint resolution introduced by Mr.. Bill
ings of Woodstock which looks toward
the placing our lawmakers on salary
instead of per diem basisa per diem
arrangement which made for the emolu-
ment Of legislators, and perhaps for
longer sessions.
This seems to be step in advance,
and is in line with other New England
states and New York. Massachusetts,
pays $500 Officers $780, Connecticut
$500, Maine $500, New York 81 500.
Vermont has been paying about $500
per session, and $4,000 mileage. On
salary basis the length of the session
will be lessened, to the profit of the
state.
This lawmaking business is great
junket for surprising number of duly
elected representatives., though some go
there to work. This condition of affairs
is one of the things which Republican
domination has done for Vermont
They have been doing what they please
in their firmly seated complacency, but
there are wholesome signs Of dissatis-

If the town of Springfield in south.
eastern Vermont gets put on the line
of the Central Vermont, or Grand Trunk,
railway, as is proposed in the connecting
line between Windsor and Brattleboro,
the hustling community will grow faster
than ever. To have been off some miles
from railroad was Springfeld's great
est handicap; and it is somewhat re-
markable that railroad has not snapped
up the chance to tap the region before
this. Perhaps the contour OF the land
was deterrent, so strong as to make
the venture doubtful, except under GER
tain conditions.

MONDAY NIGHT LAST MEETING

The Rev. Mr. Crawford. of Columbia.
who has been delivering series of dis
courses at the Lucille Memorial church,
closed the meeting Monday night.
While here he preached powerful SER
mons and those who did not hear them,
missed many important messages.
Mr.. Crawford often preached from
two different texts. A few extracts from
his sermons are as follows: Sins eau
not be forgiven until every sin is con-
fessed. He told the story of family
that had suffered attacks from scarle-
fever and when the officers came to dis
infect the house the mother took them
into every part except the attic One
day she went up there to get an article
whith had been stored away and her
only child left followed her. The baby
caught the germ and died. Just so with
sins, and he said you had to open every
part of your heart and have it cleansed,
before forgiveness came. Mr.. Crawford
spoke with force end his sermons were
indeed relished by many.
