A Sartorial Ballad.

Or one with horseshoes scattered DER;
In fearsome colors I've been dressed,
Until | feared to leave my door;
I've set hundred styles or more
II mattered not where | was at
But this ! should be lauded for;
never wore fuzzy hiatt
When | was in the golden West,
oft gay sombrero wore;
wore cowboys Sunday best,
And sported with a ''forty-four";
walked about in CHAPS galore,
And even had lariat;
But give men credit, | implore;
/ never wore a fuzzy hat!
My socks were brighter than the rest
OF all the others gone before;
With lurid shirts have been best
The pfckings Of the corner store;
Though brilliant ties / do adore,
And often wear red cravat,
Just DER this little message pore;
never wore fuzzy hiatt

Gone!

Our little girl is gone, alas! She was
so young, so fair;
There is the lonely looking glass at
which she eombed her hair;
Here are the slippers that she wore;
how lonely they appear;
Her bath robe hangs behind the door,
and all is silent.
Our little girl who yesterday could cheer
us with her song
Has left us sitting in dismay through
moments that are long;
The curtains of her rooms are drawn
and all is silent there;
Our little girl, alas, is gone! She was
so young, so fair!
Her laughter gladdens us no more; fond
hopes we had have died;
Here are the slippers that she wore,
where they were kicked aside;
She's gone with one who cannot earn
half what they'll need, alaek.
But they will doubtless soon return, and
we will take them back

SHOOTING FOR TROPHY.
Some Good Scores Made at Barre Auto
Gun Clubs Range.

Competition for the Dupont trophy had
an suspicious inception Saturday after
noon, when large number of shooters
of the Barre Auto Gun club were favored
by pleasant weather conditions and sue
ceeded in rolling up some high scores
for the opening shoot. Counting the
handicaps, Chief C. B. Gladding of the
fire department and Superintendent II. 4.

We're tied for the initial honors, with
Alderman w. H. Ward and George E.
Bond closely tied for first position with
score of "a each. The contest for the
trophy is to continue until each member
participating in the shoot shall have lev
eled his gun at $50 birds. The second
event in the contest will take place two
weeks from last Saturday, when the club
will hold its regular shoot.
For the high score OF the days totals,
Douglas NJ. Barclay led Frank Adams for
first honor by the narrow margin of two
points. Mr.. Barclay shattered lib pig
cons out of 1875, with percentage Of 90,
while Mr.. Adams winged So birds out of
100 attempts B. A. Eastman followed

record of lib birds hit and IL missed.

The Great Fizzle.

Anyone who has watched the subdued
manner, amounting almost to detection,
with which a crowd streams away from
a long awaited Harvard Yale football
game, if the game has resulted in a tie,
can understand the universal expression
OF disgust with the presidential prima-
ries OF Tuesday. These primaries have
cost the state quarter of a million
dollars; they have dragged through the
mud the hitherto exalted office of presi-
dent; they have left the outlook more
uncertain than before on the Republican
side; on the Democratic side not enough
interest was taken to call out even 30
900 votes in the whole state, or much
less than half the enrolled Democratic
voting strength of Boston alone. and
the candidate of the Democratic party Of
this state thus becomes the choice OF
this state by fewer than 10000 votes!
If this is a fair sample of the new
''rule of the people" which is to supplant
the deliberate representative government
under which this nation has heretofore
thrived, it may serve to give pause to
the stampede for political nostrums for
all our national ills, whether i'll or imag-
mary.
On the Republican side, the voters of
Massachusetts, without seeking the hon.
or, found themselves the chief spectators
at what was deliberately intended to
resemble a prize fight, with the power
of acting as umpires between the COM
batants. But in the end the spectators
were found not to have understood the
rules of the game, and so the candidate
whom they did not want was declared

five years imprisonment, while two sales
men in the store get two months each
for making the sales. If the sentences
were in America, there would be a great
furore at the lightness of the punish

months is considered enough punishment

New evidence that it is folly to ignore
the danger of floating ice in the ocean
is furnished by the experience of the
Cunard liner Ultonia, which made the

the need of caution very apparent.

Brattleboro spent S47, 800 at special
town meeting last Friday night, but It
hopes to get the money back in returns
which are measured by the improvement
to the town and removal of sources of
danger. Practically all the amount is to
be appropriated for improvements about
the Central Vermont railroad station, in
the line of removal of some dangerous
grade crossings and other improvements.
That there is reason for making the
changes is apparent, for the railroad dis
trict of the town is so laid out that the
passing of trains on the main line of the
Central Vermont and the frequent shift
ing of cars make the use of the highway
hazardous. For their liberality, the vot-
