A CHANGE OF PLAN
By Berton BraIey.

y ~ HNi'
He'd read all the dope on attending
to work
And toiiing to suit your employer;
He knew that to loaf or to laZe or to
shirk
Was quite an ambition destroyer;
So he plunged into work with a zest
and vim
And he did more than double his
share of it;
He needed raise, for his wages were
slim,
But he knew that the boss would
take care of it!
For hadn't the books made this SIM
pie fact plain
That people would recognize tai
ent;
That if you would work with your
might and your main
The boss, with a manner most gal
liant,
Would give you raise, though you
said not word,
To show you were worth of credit;
So he toiled and he sweated, but
nothing occurred
And life didn't go as he read it!
The boss was aware OF his merit, all
right,
But he said, why the deuce
should l raise him
So long as he's willing to work day
and night
For what his position now pays
him?"
But, weary with waiting, the worker
grew wise;
He said to himself, why, dod
rot it!
These books on success are bundle
of lies
So he struck for raise-and he
got it!

The Fan of Tampico.

The capture of Tampico marks still
another step in the constitutionalists'
advance Their latest success is more
significant than any since the capture
of Torreon. They are no longer confined
to the inland provinces. They have q
seaport and through it are in communi-
cation with the world.
With the federals deprived of the use
of the only other important gulf port,
Vera Cruz, through the occupation by
our forces, the eonstitutionalists have
for the first time decided advantage.
Mexico City, small area surrounding
it and the provinces of Tlaxeala and
Puebla lying between the capital and
Vera Cruz alone remains definitely under
federal control. Huerta is still the die.
tator of Mexico But only barren
sceptre remains in his hand His fall at
the hands of the constitutionalists may
even precede his enforced retirement by
the medlators.
The eonstitntionalists captured Tampico
with ease. They had but lone piece
of field artillery to oppose intrenched
guns and the fire of the three federal
gunboats. Ammunition was none too
plentiful on either side. But the fed
erals no doubt were disheartened. The
continued success of the enemy and our
own attitude in the case could not fail
to exert great moral effect on the UNI
trained forces.
The capture of Tampico should have
a decided bearing on the results Of me-
diation. Seeing his downfall, Huerta
may prefer to yield to Pan-Americau
concert, and retire with honor, rather
than be ANONYMOUSLY routed by the re
bells perhaps even to fall into their
bloody hands.
With Huerta eliminated our admin
istration will at least have achieved its
originally avowed purpose. But whether
in the resulting turmoil we shall not be
obliged more than ever to take hold of
the reins in Mexico is another question.

A few local organizations are prepar-
ing to participate in the parade on Me-
mortal day in honor of the soldiers and
sailors of the Civil war and have signi-
fed their intention to r. b. Crandall
post, G. A. R. Such organizations are
to be commended for their desire to add
as much as possible to the significance
of the day and to do their part toward
honorng the veterans of that war.
Would that all the organizations of like
nature in the city might see fit to par
ticipate also in the observance OF the
day. Such participation would not en-
tail much sacrifice on the part of those
who form in line and march to the ceme-
terry and then listen to the public exer-
cises Immediately following; and such
participation would be received with no
end OF qualification by the old boys in
blue. Moreover, if for no other reason,
the organizations ought to feel it their
patriotic duty to do this much in hon
oring the defenders of the Union in the
years of the early eos.

COLONEL RoosEvELTs ILLNESS.

i Real surprise is occasioned by the in
formation that Theodore Roosevelt il
returning to the United States very il
man following his long exploring triI
| through countries of South America, not
ably Brazil, because of the known vigol
of the man and his capacity to ward of
disease. In the absence of detailed in.
| formation about the nature of his all
ment it might almost be considered that
the former president was in the exciting
experience briefly heralded some weeks
ago, in which the expedition lost it's bag
gage in the rapids OF a river deep in the
wilderness of Brazil, in spite of the as
surances that he was not with the ex-
petition at the time of the accident,
and that the distinguished man sus-
tanned some injuries or contracted some
disease by reason of that trying ex-
perience Then, again, there is the pos
sibility of some jungle disease getting
hold OF person even with such vigor-
GUS constitution as Roosevelt possessed.
For instance, the fevers that attack the
explorer in those regions are said to be
capable of wearing down even the strong
est physiques, and it is possible that
Mr.. Roosevelt fell victim to such an
ailment through rather foolhardy re-
lance on his strength to stand off the
germs.
But whatever may have been the
cause, the fact that he was able to
take passage for the United States in
dicates that his powerful constitution
is overcoming the insidious ravages of
the disease and that he undoubtedly is
on the road to recovery That his re-
turn to the climate of North America
will hasten that recovery is certain.
All his countrymen rejoice that he is
well enough to return and all hope for
his prompt recovery.

INSURANCE In BRATTLEBoRO.
On Mercantile Buildings and Contents
Under Certain Conditions.

Brattleboro, May l6.--Members of the
Brattleboro board of trade have just
received notification in the form of let
ter from the secretary that reduction
in insurance rates on mercantile build
ings and contents is open TO those who
fulfil certain conditions. The letter
reads:
Dear Sir;--I am requested by the di-
rectors OF the board of trade to inform
you that at meeting of the Windham
County Insurance committee it was vot-
ed that a l0-cent reduction from the
so per cent rate would be made upon
mercantile buildings and contents where
standard chemical extinguishers were
distributed throughout the building at
the ratio of two (2l for every $500
square feet. The directors felt that
possibly this had not been brought to
your attention, and that ii might prove
to you saving proposition, and if
adopted by you might, at some time,
same a disastrous fire.
If you care to look further into the
merits of the matter, advise with your
fire insurance agent about it.
Yours truly,
Carl S. Hopkins, secretary.

A STUDY IN CONTRASTS.

Something of the hysteria of war
times was reproduced in the various
cities of the nation when the bodies of
the, Vera Cruz dead were taken to their
homes after being brought back to the
United States from Mexico--hysteria
mixed with patriotic spirit, if you wish.
And as the demonstration of excitability
was far more pronounced in the larger
centers of population than in the eoun-
try districts, so it represented the great
err infusion of foreign blood in the cities
than in the country, blood that is quick
er to move and minds more susceptible
to the impress of great events. The
event shows more eonclusively that any
thing else in recent years that GER
tain change is coming over the American
populace under the influence of races
from Europe. Granting that similar
spirit of patriotism and OF reverence for
the dead actuated the people of all Sec
tions of the nation, there was a marked
contrast in the display of emotion; in
the cities feverish rush to get near the
bodies of the Vera Cruz heroes, TO show
openly the sense of loss in the deaths
of the United States marines and sea-
men; in the country a more stolid woe
as the large crowds of people stood quiet
ly and disturbed not the usual order of
funeral procedure. There was just as
much sorrow, just as much sense of loss,
just as much sympathy for the relatives
of the deceased in the latter instance
as in the former; but world of differ
ence in the presentation of those feel
ings. In way, the contrast shows what
vast void there is between the dwellers
in the cities and the jewellers in the
country districts of the United States.
The one almost knows not the other, so
strangely in contrast are their manners
of action and of living; yet they may
have the same loyalty and the same de-
votion to their country, coupled with
the same reverence for the stars and
stripes The contrast cannot be taken
to be a reflection on either, only Gu
rious study in the widely varying char
acteristics.

BULLET WOUND MORTAL,
A Spaniard Writes to Correct Some OF
Published Statements in Williams
town Shooting Case.

Editor, Barre Daily Times:
Dear Sir:--On the front page of your
valuable paper the 9th day of April
under the heading of BULLET Wound
Mortal" appeared details of shooting
ARRAY that took place between two
young Spaniards in Williamstown the
25th.
Knowing the fact that The Times al
ways endeavors to find its readers the
most truthful information but that, as
matter of fact, the reporters in many
cases are compelled to get information
from persons too directly interested in
the matter that their main point ia to
throw public opinion for or against one
of the parties and convinced that public
opinion has lots to do with basing an
opinion on the mind of the men that
eventually viii have to Judge the case,
allow me to correct some of the many
errors printed in said correspondence.
Not Fernandez alone, but both Fer
nandez and Gomez were rooming at Mr..
Godfrey's. The photograph was not
owned by Fernandez but by Gomez who,
of course, knew to perfection the merits
of the pieces played. Gomez has been in
Vermont four years and had no wife in
Spain or anywhere else; nor was ever
married. He is not known in "Barre's
court" or in any other court, as he has
always been a pleasant, respectable
young man. He is not Ricardo Gomez
but Recaredo Gomez, and had nothing
to do with the former.
That Gomez was brutally handled bv
Fernandez from the time they left their
room to the time of the regrettable
shooting and that the shooting was not
from the back will be proved in the
proper time.
BY this, Mr. Editor, / am not attempt
ing to make an apology for his regret
table action, but do believe that it is
dishonest TO -wilfully-false infor-
nation to a reporter, with the marked
intention of predisposing public opinion
against an unfortunate young man that,
under the impulse of the moment. COM
mits an act that ruins the best of his
young and happy life.
Yours respectfully,
A Spsniard.
