In a forest dark and drear and old
Where the air is damp and the
ground is cold
And flowers never grow.
Where bird song ends in a quaver-
ing note
Like a frightened sob In its downy
throat,
And the night winds whisper low.
Where the sun in its beauty never
shines.
Just glides the top of the stately
Pines,
And -oTer pierces through.
Where right wolves cry and owls
loot,
Where wilderness relgns with none
to dispute,
And witches their potions brew.
In this forest dark, where none
would dare
To venture in. nor linger there,
Where the timid were afraid.

grave so long and deep and gray,
With a rusty battered spade.
And within the grave l dug that day

And covered It over with sod.
And l knelt down by the graveside

And lifting my heart in anguished
prayer,
Poured forth my soul to God.
And cried. ooh, Father. grant sur

And my heart lies there with my well

In this mound so narrow and low.
Then / knelt a while by the lowly
mound,
Then bent my head and kissed the
ground
Above my dear ones face.
And taking up my load of pain
went forth into the world again,
From that sad and lonely place.
And as ! went | turned my head
For one farewell look at my well
loved dead,
And my heart beats seemed to
cease.
For the SUN shone in one binding
ray,
Straight down through the trees
where my darling lay.
And my soul was filled with peace

Things are looking blue for the ''pork
bari, - the $53,0O0,0oO river and har-
Dor appropriation bill, against which
Senator Burton has been fiHbustering
for several weeks. As the result of the
Senate Democratic caucus it has been
concluded to put the river and harbor
bill behind the trust bills. That is, the
trust measures will be disposed of be
fore the river and harbor measure is
again taken up. This action is looked
on as probably foreboding the ultimate
side-trae king of the river and harbol
bill until next winter. After the trust
bills are passed it will be hard to keeI
a quorum on hand, and the Senate lead
ers will not like to take the response
bility of keeping Congress in session
for the sake of passing a ''pork bar'I'
measure.

A COMPARISON OF METHODS.

American readers of accounts of the
trial of Nine. Caillaux, who shot CASTOR
Calmette, editor of the Paris Figaro.
on March l6 last, will have an oppor-
tunity OF comparing the methods of the
French court with those in vogue here.
They are very different. Hearsav
evidence and opinions are accepted.
The procedure is very different from
what would be allowed here in various
ways.
Yet it would be rash assertion 10
say that Justice is not secured by the
methods of these courts Here. the in
terests of a defendant are so carefully
safeguarded that often Justice errs on
the side of leniency. The French courts
concern themselves less with methods
and more with a desire to learn al
the facts, evidently, and they give j
latitude to both defense and prosecu
ton that would not for a moment be al
lowed here. If they make mistake il
giving too much latitude, it may be
answered by saving that our court.
sometimes allow too little.
At all events this trial will afforC
an. interesting .4hasis4- al --csmsaa risor
and IT is 70 BE Remembered that tn,
merits of the two systems are to b,
Judged by the results, not the methods
followed.
The defendant bought an automati,
revolver, loaded it, rode to the offic,
of the Figaro and riddled the body o
the editor with bullets. Her HUSBAND
was premier of France, and he marie,
her after divorcing his first wife. Tn
stage for the trial has been rathe

STOPS GIRLS HICCOUGHING.
Cold Tea and Lemon Juice Relieve
Hilda Caine After Two Months.

Cold Tea and Lemon Juice Relieve
HiIda Game After Two Months.
A mixture of cold tea and lemon
juice has brought sudden relief to
Hilda Game, eleven years old. daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Caine of
Sea Cliff, n. Y, whose almost cease
less hiccoughing for more than two
months attracted wide attention.
Hilda a few years ago had a hip
disease with neurotic symptoms, and
st. Vitus' dance developed. She was
recovering from the latter when, on
last Thanksgiving day, a tramp fright
ened her. The nervous shock brought
on hiccoughing. For weeks the inter
nal spasms were constant. and the
child suffered frequent attacks of ordi.
nary hiccoughs. In spite of every rem
edy the spell continued.
The hiccoughs ceased suddenly when
the girls mother gave to her q cooling
drink of iced tea and lemon juice
Since Hilda drank the mixture she has
had no attacks and has gained strength
rapidly.
AS the result of the interest in Hill
da's case her parents have received
more than a thousand letters. which
| came from nearly every state in the
Union, offering suggestions for the re
lief of hiccoughing. While the tea
and lemon drink seemed to stop the
| hiccoughing, it is believed that the
constant medical treatment had grad
ually lessened the affection.

Senator Barber Seeks Senti-
ment in County on an
Unofficial Primary
NO COOPERATION
BY OTHER PARTIES
Question of Advisa bility in View of
Fact That There Is No Statute Pro
viding for It-Suggestion That Town,
Committees Meet at Once.

In order to get at the sentiment of
Republicans in Windham county rela-
tive to undertaking to make nomina-
ions 10y direct primary for the com
ing election, Senator Herbert G. Bar
Der of this town, the member of the
state Republican committee from this
ounty, has sent out the following let
Ter to various Republicans. The letter
explains itself:
Dear Sir:-There was a mass meet
ing OF prominent Republicans held at
Burlington April IS, at which was
considered the matter of nominating ali
state officers, congressman and United
States senator by a direct primary
regulation TOR the coming election
This meeting voted to make such
nominations by a direct primary regu-
.ati0n provided it should be found
practical by the Republican state com
.nlttee to do so after due consideration.
since that time there have been two
meetings of the state committee at
winch the subject OF nominations bv
direct primary was carefully consider
ed.
Do you deem it advisable to under
take TO make such nominations by a
| tlrect primary for the coming election
IN view of the fact that there is no
| Jaw or statute providing for the same
| II would you deem it advisable to nom.
nate by the former caucus and conven.
| lOn system? If we nominate by direct
| primary it would be unofficial as We
nave no law providing for the same
| and convention would have to be held
at Il later time to ratify the result OF
| the primary by nominating the candi
| dates receiving the greatest number oil
| votes, as under the present law there
ire only two ways of placing candi
| dates names on the official ballot -
| either by convention made up OF de4e
gates or by nomination through tn,
state committee.
II you would favor an unofficial
primary would your town eommitte,
dnlte and aid in carrying out the same
1 am informed that the Progressive ant
Democratic parties refuse 10 90 int
an unofficial primary. Mould you favo
an unofficial primary if the Progressive
party and Democratic party refuse t.
Join the Republican, party i holding 4
primary for making such nominations
> 1t is needless for me to say that
am writing this letter as the Windhau
county member of the Republican stat
committee. l would suggest that yo
mold a meeting of your town cOmmitte
At once for the purpose of considering
these important matters
Kindly give me an early answer a
| desire to furnish the information I
he Republican state committee that
may know the exact situation and b
able to govern itself accordingly. / trus
that L may receive an answer contain
ing your views before August /, as tn
next meeting of the Republican stat
committee will be held August 4 mex
Any suggestions that you may give III
pertaining to the above matters woul
be gratefully appreciated and also II,
