Labor Day Excursions Planned
by Two Sections.
Mansfield Section Going Up CnmePs
Hump and Brandon Section Tackles
Mount Horrid-Two Now Walk
ing over Long Trail.

Tho Mansfield section of the Green
Mountain club at Burlington are unable
to carry out the original trip proposed
across Sterling mountain as gap Of
several miles remains untouched between
Sterling pond and the trail now being
carried south of Whiteface, the north
peak Of Sterling mountain. This trip
will be reserved for tho autumn leaf
excursion, later In September
Cancels Hump will be the excursion
on Labor day. The train leaves at 7:l0
a. m, the ascent being made from Bolton
! by the Bolton trail, and return via Dux-
bury. Meals may be- obtained at the
camp of the Camels Hump club on the
summit, or a picnic lunch carried. The
distance is 5iA miles to summit and six
miles to Duxbury
The ascent can BE- made very easily by
taking carriages from North Duxbury to
ICalluhan's, where the trail begins Here
now forestry department trail leads to
the summit on a very easy grade dis
fnce three miles. BY taking carriages
3 from Waterbury 10 Callahan's and re-
turn, a longer time on the mountain IS
gained as the 6:3i p m. train from Water
bury TO Burlington does not stop at North
, DuXbury Those returning from that point
must take the 4:35 p. m. train.

ANANIAs NOT so MANY.

Senator Claude a. Swanson of Vir-
Ginia told this:
In the corner grocery one day young
farmer said that his colt had beaten the
local train from Five Points to town. An
other essayed to boast about his own
nag.
Some time ago." said he. with an i'm
pressive air, II was five miles from shell
ter when heavy thunder storm came UP.
Jumping on my horse I started for home
al gallop. and during the last two miles
the roam raced the shower so fast that I
didn't feel a drop of rain"
Easy to account for that" put in n
doubtful one, maybe the storm WASH
close to you"
Wasn't close to mel! exclaimed the
other. well. I should say it was, Only
20 yards behind me was my dog. and he
had to swim all the way. '-Philadelphia

COST OF BALKAN WARS.

G'rom the Plattsburgh Press)
Comparatively few people have any ade-
quate conception Of the terrible cost of
the Balkan wars Something of an idea
as to its enormity IS supplied, however,
by a war correspondent who has visited
all the chief Centels of the late military
operations in the country fought over.
Here are his estimates of the two wars.
For the first he gives these figures:
Bugaria-SJo,O oO soldiers mobilized So t.
go dead. $500 900
Servia-2Jo00o soldiers; 10000 dead; SGD,
100000
Greece-lo,cOo dead out of $4,000 s7o,O0o
600
Montenegro-S.0oO dead out of 10000; 81
10000
Turkey-45N,Oo0; 100000 dead; 10000 90.
For the second war his figures are:
Bulgaria-60,OO0 dead; slN0Go,000.
Servia-4O00; slO0,n0oOD.
Greece-30 goo: $4,000. 600.
The writer adds that when the num-
Der of persons massacred and the victims
of the cholera epidemics are added to the
totals it is reCkoned that nearly 4no,o@
must have persisted. The monetary loss
all told is said to be 1890, 900 600. The Roel
war cost England 20,ooo dead and $1,000

THE WILLOW WHISTLE.

The city streets are drab and dry
No matter where l look
And memory travels back alone
A brown and babblinE brook,
Where catkins on the bending boughs
Were fuzzy, green and new,
And in the springtime long ago
The willow whistles grew.
An ancient knife with half blade,
Dull, too, and nicked, and bent.
Was all l needed when I wrought
My simple instrument.
l chose a straight and sturdy twig.
And slipped the bark away.
Till smooth and white as ivory
Upon my palm It lay.
1 cleaned it of the pearly pith.
And cut the notch with care,
And played upon my sylvan flute
A wild impromptu air;
So piercing sweet the silver strain.
So long, and loud, and shrill,
The dulcet pipes of Pan replied
From every rock and hill.
/ hear the operate stars
In all their glory now,
Their music lacks the Witchery
Within the willow bough,
And when the purple lilac shakes
It's feathers in the rain,
The willow whistle calls to me
Across the years again,
-Mnna Irving. in Leslie s.

THE MAN SHOPPER.

Robinson, passenger to London on a
fast train from Manchester, was fascinat-
ed by the demeanor of the man sitting
facing him. Never a movement did he
make; hour after hour he sat there mo-
tionless, his elbows pressed tightly to
his sides, his hands stretched out in front
of him.
Poor fellow, He must be paralyzed." "
thought Robinson. And being a sympa-
thetic fellow, he was glad, as the train
neared London, to accede to the strang-
or's request that he should take his hat
from the rack and place IT on his head.
How did you become paralyzed?" he
asked, in his most gentle voice.
"Paralyzed!" Easped the stranger Pm
not paralYzed. My wife sent me up To
town to fetch a piece of glass and"-mo-
tionng to his hands-"this is the width"

Born in Naugatuclz about forty

property will permit him to seek a
much needed rest.
