JINGLES AND JESTS
THE OLD LINE FENCE

Zigzagging It went
On the line Of the farm,
And the trouble it caused
Was often quite warm,
The Old Line Fence.
II was changed every year
By decree Of the court,
TO which. when worn out,
Our sires would resort
With the Old Line Fence,
In hoeng their corn.
When the sun. too was hot,
They surely would jaw,
Punch or claw, when they got
To the Old Line Fence.
In dividing the lands,
1t fulfilled no desires,
But answered quite well
In dividing our sires,
This Old Line Fence.
Though sometimes in this
Ii would happen to fail,
When with top rail in hand,
One would flare up and scale
The Old Line Fence.
Then the conflict was sharp
On debatable ground
And the fertile soil there
Would be mussed far around
The Old Line Fence.
Ii was shifted oft
That no flowers there grew.
What frownings and slods.
And what words were shot through
The Old Line Fencei
Our sires through the day
There would quarrel or fight,
With a vtgor or vim,
But twas different at night
BY the Old Line Fence.
The farest maid there
You would have deserted
That ever leaned soft
On the opposite side
OF an Old Line Fence.
Where our fathers built hate,
There we builded our love,
BreHthed our VOWS TO be true
With our hands raised above
The Old Line Fence.
Its place might be changed,
But there we would meet,
With our heads through the rails,
And with kisses most sweet,
At the Old Line Fence.
II was love made the change,
And the clasping Of hands
Ending ages Of hate.
And between us now stands
Not a sign of Line Fence.
No debatable ground
Now enkindles alarms
I've the girl | met there
And. we'll, both OF the farms,
And no Line Fence.

After two unsuccessful tries for the
position, John L. Miller, the well known
granite manufacturer, was elected mayor
of the city of Quincy, Mass, recently,
running as an independent candidate.
By his election, Quincy is assured of
hustling official who will put no small
amount of energy into the publicity end
of the city's industries. The granite in
dustry there is likely to come into its
full share of booming through Mayor

The Governors Are Against Intervention.

The Governors Are Against Intervention.
The New York Sun printed yesterday
the opinions of all the forty-eight govern
ors who could be reached on the Mexi-
can question, specifically asking them
whether they favored Intervention, and
then inquiring how many troops they
could readily put into the field. The
answers which were summarized in The
Herald bear striking evidence that the
president is holding his party behind
him, and incidentally that the de-
sire "to fight somebody" is far less
strong now than it was in 1898. For
the governors are nearly all opposed to our
going to war with Mexico.
The Texas governor leads of with a
Characteristic appeal for intervention.
Much like Daniel Webster's comment on
the national debt, the Texan virtually
offers to intervene himself, to the set
Ting of the difficulty, if our government
for any reason hesitates. He thus
writes: "Under the Monroe doctrine |
think the United States owes it to the
balance of the world tsicl to restore or
der and peace in Mexico by immediate
Intervention" He further declares that
there are ten wood humanitarian reasons
now for Intervention in Mexico where
there was one iustifying intervention
in Cuba.
Without passing on the ratio which
Gov. Colquitt names, it is significant
that this country is immeasurs.bly less
Intervention hungry" than IL was in
1898. The Mckinley administration would
have gone down in overwhelming defeat
had it listened to the peace overtures of
Spain, and no one seemed to realize this
better than the president himself. But

CURRENT COMMENT
Hope for Real Reform.

Chief Justice George NJ. Powers gave
an address OF wore than passing interest
before the Chittenden County Bar asso-
citation last week in which he boldly adj
vocated reforms in legal practice before
the courts. After expressing d dislike
of any calamity bowling he stated that
he believed the fault with the present
system is the adherence to the old com
mon law as to pleadings, practice that
adheres more closely to the form than
to the substance of law. lie advocated
that the same pleadings should apply in
a court of law and courts of equity.
The present rule against hearsay evil
dence should be liberalized and all ex-
perts appearing in court should be ap.
pointed by the presiding judge. The
wall between courts of law and courts
of equity should be extinguished so that
a case improperly started in one could
be transferred to the other without the
expense and delay of beginning all over
again. He also suggested majority YER
diets in civil jury cases.
In the fewest words at our command
we have stated the reforms the chief
justice suggested. He argued that these
changes would comply with popular de-
mand and solieitude for the interests of
the public. They would tend to produce
a better approximation OF justice and
would increase resort to the law and the
trial of more important business by the
courts. His arguments seem sound and
the advanced stand taken by Justice
Powers will do much to disarm any cal
amity bowling because men of his posi-
ton and knowledge can suggest sane We
forms. The crying need has been such
frank and positive suggestion by the
members of the court and the bar We
believe with the chief justice that Yer
mont courts are not as bad as some pop
ular expressions would indicate but there
is an opportunity to reduce the expense
of litigation and make improvements in
the practices based on antiquated prece-
dents. 1t augurs well for the courts and
citizens as well that the courts and bar
of the state are seriously discussing
changes and mprovements.-St. Johns

STATION REPORT OUT
Satisfactory Work Accomplished Dur.
ing Past Year. According to An
nual Bulletin.

The fourth annual report of the
Langdon sub-experiment station Of the
North Dakota agricultural college has
just been printed and Is being distri-
buted. The booklet contains some
very interesting information concern
ing the work carried on at the sta
ton.
According to experiments reported
the roots of wheat plants reached
down to a depth of over six feet. The
experiments we're carried on on diff
ferent depths of fall blowing but it
was found that the depth Of blowing
had practically no effect upon the
depth to which the roots Of the plants
descended into the soil.
These experiments were carried on
on ground which had been deposited
in trenches and from which the course
Of the plants roots could be traced.
After the plant attained the stage at
which the development Of the roots
was to be investigated the earth was
washed away by water leaving the
roots in practically the position in
which they had grown.

Particularly interesting features
marked Sundays concert by the Grand

solos by E. l.. Egermayer and A. B.

The solo and variations on "'Old

This was the first appearance here of
Mr.. Egermayer as a baritone soloist.
and it certainly was a treat to all to
hear the solo and variations roll ous

and phrasing.
Mr.: Egermayer was at one time a
member of Bellstedt's band of Gin
