A gold leaf and red,
There sits the fairy cobbler
With his waxen end and thread
For all the fair people in the hollows >:

He makes the crimson slippers ana ht
whistles with a will.
He huns tune al morning and he hum

And there he sits a-sewng in the SLY.

A maple leaf for slippers
And an oak leaf strong and brown
For shoes for little fairies
That may travel into town
He cuts the fairy pattern with a sharp

He straps the ole upon his knee and sews
for all his life:
His little awl goes flying as he makes the
holes for thread
The little leaf, the gold leaf the green

They'll come to-nigh; to ask him

And then he'll frown and grumble,
And away. away. they'll run.

CONSOLIDATION NOT LIKELY
Why Union of Vermont Customs
Districts Would Be a Mistake.
Removal Of once to 81. Adams would
he Expense TO Government, which
Has New Quarters ;n Bur-
Iin9ton and Newport.

Collector c. n. Darling was intervie wed
Yesterday afternoon by n Free Press re-
porter upon the ancient question Of n
reorganization Of the customs districts
ana more especially In regard to the bill
winch has been drawn at the instiga ton
or the Hon. J. f. Curtis, assistant secre-
tary or the treasury, in which the con-
solidation Of the two Vermont districts
and the addition OF Coos county of New
Hampshire, and the removal Of the adj
ministrative Offices from Burlington, are
advocated. According to Mr.. Darling
ideas upon the subject nothing would
be gained. especially by the removal
Of the administrative offices to St Adams.
and the government would he put to "A
considerable expense by such a change.
The question OF recognizing the cue-
toms districts has been agitated for many
years and is at the present time being
considered throughout the entire depart
ment, with an especial view to change
the present system in New England and
along the Atlantic coast. In some parts
Of the country there is no doubt but what
a change would be beneficial and would
operate toward affecting economy This
is particularly true Of some % the ports
Of entry along the Atlantic coast. where
conditions have radically changed in the
past 20 OF 40 years. Customs houses arc
being maintained IN some OF the old sail
ing ports which at the present time
handle almost no business although q
third OF century ago they we're large
and thriving shipping ports. such as New
Bedford. Mass, where immense fleets SO,
out and entered This is, however. far
from being true here according TO the
collector, and no change toward economy
would be affected by installing the main
office in st. Adams or any other place
Although the city farther up the State
is the largest port of entry in the dis.
trict. this means nothing when It comes
to the location of the administrative Of.
fees. On the other hand. the government,
expended quarter Of a million Of dollars
In erecting the present Federal building
and the entire second floor would be
practically unoccupied were It not for the
customs Offices. The situation in New.
port |. the same. The government there
hns built quarters for the customs de-
partment and by doing so has gone "a
a considerable expense. On the contrary.
at st. Adams there is no room for any
additional force and quarters would
necessarily have to be engaged at large
expense
On the whole. according 10 Judge
Darling. there is no logical reason for
making such change. Burlington is the
largest city IN the State. easy of access
and centrally located. and some better
reason than has Vet been given must he
shown before the treasury department Is
likely to spend many thousands Of dollars
In making such a change
change Of this kind would work a
hardship upon the employees OF the local
ONCE as most OF them have established
permanent homes here.
