SLOW MAIL FoILED CUPID

Because OF the snail-like manner I'm

Cecil G. Morris. both having married
since that day six years ago when the
present Mrs. Wormser wrote a letter
from her home. which was at that
time at Webster Springs. and accepted
the proposal of Morris, who lived at
Riverville. The letter was six years
on its Journey. and when II finally
reached Morris II was too late The
letter was mailed In 1906. It reached
Riverville, Morris former home, two
days after II was mailed. as the post

tained. In a previous letter Morris
had proposed to the woman and the
missing letter contained her accept

woman to answer was a rejection OF
his proposal. Morris married another.
The woman. believing that he had
changed his mind after receiving her
acceptance, also married.

HOUSE OF DIAMONDS

About 20 years ago the diamond
merchants of Amsterdam held their
market as best they could. The mer-
chants would meet in cafe. or some
times In the street, where, drawing
their gems from their pockets, they
would compare them, chatter, and con-
clude their contracts. Those days
may be termed the patriarchal age.
In time the merchants saw that their
precious goods were worthy of a more
dignified procedure. They rented
premises, which they named "Beurs
voor den Diamanten." Business pros
pering, Amsterdam absorbed about
two-thirds of the worlds commerce in.
the precious stones, and the syndicate
determined to build their own hall or
exchange. and this the minister of the
interior has recently opened on the
Weesperplein.

In Memoriam: Camp Colum-
bia 1911.

I'm sitting by the fire-side,> as lonely as
can be,
With nothing to console me but my
faithful old T. D.,
But as the smoke drifts upward / can see
within its haze,
A most exquisite picture Of some by
gone, happy days.
The picture is so vivid that my heart
with pleasure thrills
AS behold little spot far off among
the hills,
And see our tent still nesting in the
shelter of the trees,
Those voices chant cadence as they
murmur in the breeze.
l hear again the music, of that pretty
little stream
Whose waters flash like silver, in the
moonlight's gentle CLEAN,
i see the mighty forest in solemn gran
deur stand,
AS though bidding hearty welcome to
our happy little band.
see the grim old mountain, its summit
reared SO high,
That it seems to pierce the azure of the
sunny southern sky,
l see the sunlight streaming in the for
est's mossy dell,
And hear the woodlands whisper, in a
voice love SO well.
The picture now is fading, yet my heart
is filed with cheer,
AS memory goes back to days ! spent
with friends so dear;
God grant that we may meet again
mid scenes that are just as grand,
Three cheers for Camp Columbial and
our own Green Mountain land.
We thank thee, o our Father, for the
mercies thou hast shown,
The glory of the mountain and the vale
is thine alone,
We thank thee for the forests, for the
rivers and the rills,
And fervently we thank thee for these
dear Green Mountain hills.

in Grindelwald. where its inventor. q

vention as fast as he is able. The ac-
companyihg picture shows that the
new machine is much like an ordinary
bicycle except for its having neither
wheels nor pedals. There are handles
by which to steer and foot-rests for
the feet, which must be put on the
ground whenever braking is necessary.
Although at first 1t is difficult to steer
straight. bicycle-tobogganing is very
easy to learn.

BAILEY DELIVERS
FAREWELL ADDRESS
Charges Democratic Party
With Exaggerating the I'm
portance of Existing Evils.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-senator
Bailey Of Texas, In farewell address
at private dinner last night, pre-
dicted that II conditions In the United
States continued to change as much in
the next thirty years as they had In the
last thirty, the country would face q
condition paralleling that Of the French
revolution. Colleagues Of tho Texas
leader revealed his remarks today.
Mr.. Bailey charged that members Of
congress, by their own cowardice, were
responsible for a condition Of the un.
rest which prevails. He virtually
charged tho Democratic party with e1-
aggerating the Importance Of existing
evils.
"This republic is near n crisis which
is greater than the wisest men think, -
said Senator Bailey,
"1 do not forget that the French
revolution came while tho governors
were at the theaters, and that they
arose from their banquet tables to como
face to face with violence and blood
shed in the streets Of Paris I do not
say the United States is facing such
state Of affnirs, but l do maintain
that II within the next thirty years the
country should continue to change as
1t has in the last thirty, we will find
ourselves face to face with such con-
dition ut the end Of that time,
"You senators and representatives, 4"
continued Mr.. Bailey, "can prevent
this great crisis, and you will do 30 If
you havo tho courage to go out and tell
tho public the truth. Every evil which
exists In tho country today can be cor
rected without danger to the principles
and policies upon which this republic
was founded, and it should be dono.
tThe impatience Of the minority, of
which I myself have boon member, has
been largely responsible for tho state
Of mind Of the people Of the United
States today, for they have grossly ex.
apgerated tho owls Of the county,"
