With my feet in Boring sea. am thinking. cold and lonely. Of the way you've treated me. Ihree-and-thirty years of siencep Three-and-thirty years of silencev
 nights
 I've been praying for your coming For the dawn of civil rights. When you took me. young and trust,
 ing,
 From the growing Russian bear. Loud you swore fore all the nations l should have the Eagles care. Never yet has wing of eagle
 Cast a shadow on. my peaks. But I've watched the flight of bug
 cards
 And I've felt their busy beaks. Your imported crossroads states

 Made for loot and private gain, These the best that you can fur.
 nish?
 Then God help the heather folk You have rescued from the burden Of the rotting Spanish yoke, I'm full-srown, proud-souled woman. And I'm getting tired and sick Wearing all the cast-off garments Of your body polite. If you'll give me your permission. l will make some wholesome laws That will suit my hard conditions And promote your countty's caus". By the latest mail you sent me
 tNearly all your mails are latc.l Comes the news that you've been
 rowing
 In your proud old Ship of State Dreaming with sunburnt siren By the sultry southern seas. Where the songs of your enehant-
 ress
 Swoon upon the scented breeze. You are blind with lust of conquest And desire for foreign trade. Or you'd see the halfdrawn dagger. With it's brightly furnished blade Sticking in the loosened girdle Of the black brute by your side If you treat her as I'm treated She will stick it through your hide. Curb your taste for sun-killed coun, Where the natives loaf and shirk i; Come to richer northern regions, Where the people think and work If you want part of Asia
 When the Chinamen are killed Run a railroad up the Bering-- will show you where to build Come next spring and coun. my
 treasures.
 And don't stop at Glacier Bay. Like the many high commissions You have started up this way. You will see my wooded mountains With their citadels of snow Cleaning in the purple distance Through the pearlhued alpen-
 glow.
 Standing on my flowerstrewn hill,
 sides
 Where my mighty rivers meet, Gazing OCT my verdant valleys. Spreading seaward from your feet You will see the sunlit splendors Of my moonless midnight skies. Gilded with the light supernal Shining straight from Paradise. If you stay till Hoary Winter Has entombed the silent land. You will read celestial sermons, Written by the Masters hand. On the azure walls of heaven, Where Aurora's tinted light Weirdly fits like summer lightning All the ghostly Arctic night. When you come I'll show you won
 ders
 That will cause you great surprise. And if gold is what you're seeking You will open wide your eyes Drive away your Wall street sclen-
 CTS,
 With their coupons and their nerve, Then will you extend your com
 merce,
 I'll expand your gold reserve. You will find a magic city
 On the shore of Boring strait Which shall be for you a station To unload your Arctic freight Where the gold of Humboldt's vision Has for countless ages lair. Waiting for the hand of labor

We Bad Royss In Church.

In Salem, in 1876, it was ordered by
the town that 'all We boyes of ye
towne are appointed TO slit upon three
paire of stairs in We meeting house, and
William Lord is appointed to look
after We boyes upon We pulpit stairs.
In Stratford the tithing man was or
dered to watch over youths of dis
orderly carriage and see they behave
themselves comelie and use such raps
and blows as is in his discretion meet"
In Durham any misbehaving boy was
punished publicly after the service was
over. We would nowadays scarcely
seat twenty or thirty active boys to-
gether in church if we wished them
to he models Of attention and dignitied
behavior, but after the boys seats
were removed from the pulpit stairs
they were all. turned in together in

q boys pew in Windsor Conn. as late
us 1915. and pretty noisy it usually
was.

An Incautious Critic.

Almost the last work that Sir Edwin
Landseer was engaged on was Il life
sized picture of Nell Gwyn passing
through an archway on Il white pal
frey. This picture, in which the horse
alone was finished, was bought by one
of the Rothschild family and given to
Sir John Millais to complete. One
morning "A celebrated art critic called
and was much impressed with his
work. "Ah, TO be sure" he said, going
up close and examining a deerhound.
which almost breathed. in the fore
ground Of the picture. How easily
one can recognize Landseer's dogs.
Wonderful, isn't it," Yes, it is Won
derful," remarked Sir John, lighting
another pipe. II finished painting that
dog yesterday and have done the
whole Of il myself" That critic was
sorry he spoke.

GIVES UP SON AS DgseRrER
Barre Woman Turns Him Over to
Authorities and Will Claim Reward

Fifty dollars reward for the ar
rest and delivery of Ernest E. Park
hurst, charged with being a deserter
from the army" This may or may
not have been what caused Mrs. Ar
thur E. Parkhurst of Barre, the boys
mother, to deliver her son into the
custody of local officers Tuesday
night, when the 22-year-old recruit
came home after ranging over half
the United States, following his de-
sertion from the S7th company, coast
artillery corps at Fort Ethan Allen,
by Chief of Police Sinclair, who will
turn his charge over to officers at
the military reservation.
According to present plans, it is
said that Mrs. Parkhurst will accom-
pany her son to the fort and will
claim the reward for his apprehens-
ion, it is said AS one of the party,
Parkhurst's young wife, who was
Miss Hattie Tabor, will probably see
her husband placed in the custody
of the military authorities. The pris
oner seemed TO be in a reticent mood
when seen at the police headquarters
although he appears to be somewhat
relieved, now that he has ceased to
be hunted man. Since he deserted
his corps at Fort Totten on the night
of September s, Parkhurst has been
sought continually by government
agents.
In the three months leading up to
his return to his old haunts, the de-
serter has roamed nearly every state
east of the Mississippi and it was
while on his way to Hardwick, where
he expected to find employment, that
he stopped over train to see his
mother and wife. How warm a re-
ception was accorded him in the
home circle may be gathered from
Mrs. Parkhurst's prompt desire to
see the ends of justice met
1t was soon after Parkhursts es-
cape that Chief of Police Sinclair re-
ceived circulars notifying him of the
desertion At the same time, Park
bursts parents were notified and it
was evident that the mothers desire
to catch glimpse of her errant son
was almost as keen as that of the
police officers in their wish to aid
tne military dutHOIllleS III thcli
search.
Last winter Parkhurst figured in
the so-called st. Cyr case in Barre
City court which attracted wide local
attention at the time. He was one
of the witnesses in the unsavory af
fair and shortly after the trial term
mated he went to East Montpelier to
work. 1t was out on the farm that
he conceived his first laundering for
army life and some time in July he
set out for a recruiting station. He
enlisted as a private in the coast ar
tillery corps, July q, 1912, and serv-
ed at Fort Totten until that night in
September. when he suddenly turn
ed vanishing back on his country's
flag.
