OLD RAMATES.
BY JAMES R. GLASS.

The dear, kind playmates of my youth
Have faded from me, one by one,
Until today the sad, and truth
Dawns upon me that they are gone.
Gone forever not to return! -,
Into the great, unknown beyond;
How my sad heart is made to yearn
As now l think of them, so fond!
Time upon US his mark will leave,
Wrinkles the brow, the hair he fades
For friends we mourn, for them We
grieve,
AS we sit in the evening shades!
The thought of them is sad, but sweet;
We think of all the good they've done;
The wrong they did we won't repeat,
AS mem'ry calls them, one by one.
-. .---=-=, -==s.=ss:-i
Their virtues in our hearts enshrine ~. -.
Their vices we strive te forget;
Their names our memory entwine;
They Sadly linger with US yet.
Their graves to me are sacred ground;
Solemnity about them clings;
Dear to me as the years roll round;
Of them hut praise my full heart sings!
Till oclivion blots out the past,
Or memory fails to recall,
| shall love them till at last
Beside their cheerless beds must fall!

LAUNCHES BOOM
FOR ELIHU ROOT
Carnegie Says G. 0. P. Should Nominate
Him for President
in 1916.

Washington, Dec. ia boom for
Senator Elihu Root of New York as Re.
publican presidential nomiEe in 1916
was launched here yesterday by Andrew
Carnegie.
Carnegie had called to pay his re-
spects to President Wilson, but found
the latter i'll and unable to receive him.
Leaving the executive Offices, he said his
visit was one OF courtesy, but that be-
fore he returned to New York he intend
ed to discuss universal peace with Sec
reatry Bryan. While talking about this
arnegie referred in eulogistic terms to
the fact Senator Root had been award
ed the Nobel peace prize.
mo man in America better deserves
this honor" said Carnegie. "Elihu Root
is one of our greatest men. We of the
east have long known this, but the west
is only now beginning to appreciate it."
The laird of Skibo recalled an in
cident when Roosevelt was president
Carnegie referred to him as Theodore"
and when T. r. declared of Root, Hes
the biggest man in America Months
later Carnegie said Lord Morley of
England echoed this sentiment.
THAT'S the opinion of him everywhere
he's known" added Carnegie. 81 believe
the Republican party should nominate
his as its next candidate for president"

Eowe's Pictures Wednesday.

1t is one form of intense pleasure to
view the Grand canyon of Arizona from
the brink; it is totally different ex-
perienee to go down to its depths and
stand on the edge of the Colorado river
as it fights its way through the granite
gorge. Both of these phases of the trip
are to be revealed by Lyman II. Howe at
the opera house on Wednesday, Dee.
18TH The views depict the countless
precipices and the depths OF chasm so
mighty and so weird that it seems UNI
earthly. Whether viewed from above or
below it is simply impossible to realize
the magnitude of the panorama because
it seems too immense for any pre-con-
ceived standards of measurement.-AdY.

PLAIN WORDS FROM
LOGAN w. PAGE
Before National Civil Serv-
ice Reform League
Gathering

Boston. Dec. l3-Politieal control OF
public road building was denounced by
Logan w. Page, director Of the bureau
of public roads of the department OF
agriculture, in an address before the Ma
tional Civil Service Reform league yes
terday.
"We must get to a condition of al
fairs" said Mr.. Page, "where the prac-
tice of putting petty politicians in con-
troll of vital public utility for the pur-
pose OF paying political debt must be
stopped; where the expenditure OF the
public money in constructing pubic
enterprise which is of benefit only TO
the politician or his immediate bench
man must be discontinued.
"0nly when we arrive at that state
of development where we recognize IN
the fullest degree the necessity for the
application of the merit system IN road
administration will be attain that stand
ard of excellence in our public roads
which would make them comparable to
the roads of Europe.
"From the monetary standpoint alone
the introduction OF the merit system will
effect saving of at least S50,0OO,O0O
a year and consider the monetary saw
ing but the smallest part of the great
possibilities in this movement"
The methods adopted in Philadelphia
for the choice of municipal experts
through competitive examinations were
described by Lewis H. Van Duzen OF the
Philadelphia civil service commission and
Lieutenant james Reed, assistant direc-
tor Of the Philadelphia department OF
public works. Both speakers said that
these methods had resulted in the seeur-
ing of better equipped employees for mu-
nicipal departments and better results
in the work of those departments.
II. S. Gilbertson, executive secretary
of the national short ballot organization,
spoke on "The City Manager Plan" He
said that although the commission form
of government for cities was a notable
advance over anything which preceded"
the plan of having city manager OBJ

IT'S A MISTAKE.
Made MANY Barre Residents

Many people in a misguided
effort to get rid of kidney back
ache, rely on plasters, liniments
and other makeshifts. The right
treatment is kidney treatment,
and a remarkably recommended
kidney medicine is Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Barre is no exception.
The proof is at your very door.
The following is an experience
typical of the work of Doan's
Kidney Pills in Barre.
Mrs. May Bond, So Elm street,
Barre, VT, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills were first brought to
my attention when / read in the
local paper how citizens of Barre
had been cured of kidney trou-
BILE by them. At the time / had
sharp twinges of pain across the
small of my back. | knew that
these were caused by weak kid
neys, so / got Doan's Kidney
Pills and used them as directed.
From the first they did me good
and soon / was cured"

The Automobile Toll.

The report of the Massachusetts COM
mission on the automobile accidents of
the year reveals an appalling total.
Though the increase in the number of
killed and wounded over the preceding
year is partially explained by the new
law passed in June, which compels the
reporting of all accidents, this would
hardly affect the death total
One hundred and eighty-six killed, p
923 injured, with a total of 5,026 ac-
eidents is the toll, compared with ZAP
killed, 1862 injured and 2,44l accidents
in all the year before. This is out of
all proportion to the gain in the number
of automobiles. And it is further sig
nificant that Ill of the lS6 victims were
pedestrians.
What we need is more vigorous pros
ecutions of offenders and stricter enforce
ment of our statutes. 1t is still too
easy for the rich offender to get off by
payment of fine or by settlement
with his victim, or by demonstrating
that the accident was unavoidable. In
some cases the driver is not at fault, but
the burden of the proof should weigh on
him more heavily than it does at pres
ent.
Automobiles should also develop a
stricter conscience in regard to alcohol.
The man at the steering wheel should
practice total abstinence. Even a single
cocktail may cause that momentary be-
Jogging which in an emergency may
prove fatal An excellent method of en-
forcement would be to hold that every
driver who met with an accident was
legally under the influence of liquor" if
his breath were at all tainted, even
if he we're perfectly sober according to
usual definitions.
And where overspeeding or careless
ness are demonstrated severe penalties
should be imposed. A fine is rarely a
deterrent to the automobile owner. If
the possibility of getting off" We're re-
dueed We should have less reckless driv-
ing and fewer fataEties.-Boston Herald.

Prospects now seem likely for Har.

football date next fall. The game will
probably be played on the third date
of the schedule. Tufts and Harvard
played together of old, but not since
early in the nineties have they WED with
one another on the gridiron. Tufts will
have an exceptionally strong aggrega-
ton next fall and should make mat
tiers extremely exciting for the Cam
bridge team. Tufts severed relations
with Harvard when the latter began die

sionally registered victories over the

A MODEST FORTUNE.
And Ralston Doesn't Know What to
Do With Ii.

indianapolis, Ind, Dec. Ex-Governor
Ralston has $50, 1886 on deposit TO his
credit in local banks, drawing interest
of about $1,000 year, and is worried
about what he can do with the money.
He can't spend it and as it would be a
hopeless task to try TO give it back to
the thousands of persons who con-
tributed the amount, he said yesterday
he probably would ask the next session
of the legislature to aid him in finding
way to dispose of the money.
The money is part of the fund con-
tributed for the relief of food sufferers
in Indiana during the spring months of
this year. The fund originally amounted
to Sal ,0ss and $59,l94 was not used.

GODDARD BASKETBALL SCHEDULE.
Is AS Yet Incomplete, but With Several
Dates Pending.

RAYMOND Tierney, the newly appoint
ed manager of the Goddard basketball
team, issued his schedule for the l9l4
season to-day. The schedule does not
contain as many games as usual, but as
the schedule is yet only in an elemen-
tary state, it is expected that it will
measure up favorably with other sea-
sons. Manager Tierney's list comprises
but eight games, with likely prospects
of several others. The schedule in its
present form is:
Jan. lT-0pen.
Jan. davenport high school at Barre.
|. Jan. 2S-Spaulding.
Jan. 30 Peoples academy at Barre.
Feb. Open.
Feb. l2--Derby academy at Derby
Line.
Febl3-Newport high school at New
port.
Feb. Burlington high school at
Barre.
Feb 81 Burlington high school at
Burlington.
March -Spaulding.
Manager Tierney is negotiating for
other games with st. Johnsbury acad-
envy, Stowe high school, Brigham acad-
envy, and Hardwick academy.
Practice, which has been under way
at the Goddard gymnasium for the past
few weeks, has ceased during the Christ
mas recess. Charles Hoernle is acting
as head coach of the squad, assisted by
John Kurtz, an instructor at the school.
Raymond Tierney will captain the team.
A squad of about 20 candidates is avail
able. This season there seems to be bet
ter material than has been seen on the
hill for several seasons. While only two
veterans remain from last seasons team,
the enrolment of the school has several
players with enviable regulations on the
court, among whom are Bardelli, La
meri, Bailey, Mazzoni and Cosby Witt
and Tierney, the two veterans, will prob
ably occupy the forward positions, while
Lameri will be close contender for hon.
ors Cosby, who has been brought for
ward from last seasons second team,
seems to be the logical choice for center,
although Bailey, a former Methuen,
Mass, high school athlete, has been max
ing rapid strides of late and seems like
~ to be Cosby's understudy. Bardelli,
the former Hardwick academy star, and
Mazzoni will hold down the backfield
positions.

PLAN OF COMPANIES
Scheme Looks to the Elimination Of
Food Middleman and Furnishes
Business for Companies.

Chicago, Dec. l3.-Express companies
of the United States, facing tremendous
loss of business through the introduction
OF the parcel post, have hit upon a
plan to recoup and at the same time
make themselves popular institutions by
concerted attack on the problem fraught
with much concern to the householder,
the high cost of living. The express
companies are planning to act as agents
between the consumer and the farmer
or fruit grower in delivering poultry,
vegetables, fruit and other agricultural
products direct TO the door of the house
wife without loss of freshness.
Orders have been issued by Wells
Fargo Il Co. to all of its agents to get
quotations on farm products for the ben
eft of the general offices in the cities.
Although the company does not an
nounce that it is doing away with the
middleman, it is declared that may be
the ultimate effect of its position.
