MAKES MAPLE SYRUP
WITH GOOD SPEED
Brookline Man Turns Out 81 Gallons
in -Four Hours and 20 Minutes
Satisfied with Outfit

Editor of The Reformer:
Being sugar maker, | was much
interested in reading in your paper Of
April communication from c. z.
Stlekney IN regard to the manufacture
of the product. In the first place, he
must have gone to the sugar place
mighty young. Secondly, that anti
quated invention Of his, about the age
Of the aurora borealis, certainly did
well.
Now | bought the new model light
ming eVaporator, the same one shown
at the Valley fair last fall, made by
Small Bros. Of Richford, VT, and have
also Grimm sugar-off rig. So yester-
day lSundav) | hiked to the sugar lot
4 mile and a half from home to test
any ability .(and l am certainly no boy
rs far as years go). | started my fire
at clock and at noon the sap gave
out. | was cautioned in particular not
to run it without sap so let the fire &C
out and in 20 minutes | had the syrup
iput up, just p gallons for four hours
and 20 minutes work.
Another item is wood. |. like Mr.
Stickney, ann too old to chop wood, anC
the modern evaporation is certainly ;
wood saver. After l get my pan boil
ing i II keep man busy with a chunl
Iiof pork in one hand and dipper o
Icold sap in the other with four ordi
nary sticks of wood. l have no desir,
to swap outfits with Mr.. Stickney.

CY WARMAN.

Cy Warman, the poet and short story |
writer, whose death was announced
from Chicago in a despatch to The Re |
former yesterday, did not jump to fame
in his youth like Kipling, but was the
product of varied experiences. He was
was born III Illinois to become an en-
CINE wiper in Colorado, which he ever
after claimed as his home state. He
always claimed that his inspiration was
gained from the grandeur OF the seen
cry on his run as fireman and engineer
| over Marshall pass. He said he could
not help writing poetry any more than
/ he could help running his engine over
the pass, and his little verses. crude
! but unique, soon found their way to
the public. He founded little paper
for railroad men and made success
! Of daily paper in Creede when that
town was booming mining camp.
i Nhtn asked once by an English au
thor where ne was educated, Cy War
man replied: ION the farm, in the
fields and forests, in the mines and
smelters of the West, in the machine
shops, and finally, in the cab of loco
motive amid the Rocky Mountains,
where l was graduated 10 years ago,
TO- 600 feet above the sea.
He won his first fame as the author
Of Sweet Marie, which was set to music
by Frank Hartman. The song became
one of the most popular of the day,
and Warman, dividing the receipts with
Hartman, received from its pubhca
tion nearly $1,000 in the first year OF
its appearance The woman he after
| ward married was in his mind when he
| wrote Sweet Marie. Warman s poems
| had been published in book form ane
he had written hundreds of shorr
i stories, relating largely to railroad life
Il In the past 10 years he had been. con
Il nected with the publicity department
of the Grand Trunk and Central Yer
Il mont railroads and in his work in thi
II capacity had become known to hundred
II of Nermontcrs, who admired him as
II man of remarkable versatility and at
II tractive personal qualities.

Pension Payments.
Manchester Union.)

For the first time since 1870 the eS-
penditures for war pensions will he
somewhat decreased from the precel-
ing year, but it is noticeable that there
is 20 great amount of exultation or
congratulation of the fact. The falling
off of SCI 900 in the bill reported
April /. embodying an appropriation OF
$l69. 10000. is due to the deaths OF
-. 459 veterans. and no Que sees any
thing to rejoice over in that fact. The
grandchildren of the Old soldiers would
gladly continue 70 bear their part of
the pension burdens if the old fellows
might stay with us a little longer. and
it would he matter of satisfaction To
know that their last years were passed
in- something Ike comfort. It is lttle
cause for JOY that the men who t0ot
part in the great Civil war are passing
at the rate OF more than $4,000 a year

DIFFERENCE IN REWARDS.

The Barton Monitor, in noting tho
retirement Of T. c. Williams of New
port, former chairman of the Repub
lican state committee, throws this LITTLE
nosegay:
- MIR. Williams has served upon thu
committee faithfully for several years
and he deserves the thanks of the Re
publicans of the state for his untiring
efforts IN the interests of the party.
We arc reminded that ''They also
serve who only stand and wait There
is little comfort, little balm of Gilead
for Mr.. Williams. Of course it was
an open secret that when Curt Emery :
eight fat years in the collectorship
We're over the succulent plum at New
port was to he passed along to Mr. vii
liams. But along came the Democratic
party, sweeping the country, aided and
allotted by the Progressives. and Mr.
Williams went into the list of martyrs
who didu t get their reward. He was

About 700 at Annual Event in Boston
Saturday Night.

The Vermont association of Boston had
its annual sugaring-of party at Horti-
cultural hall Saturday evening and it
was the most largely attended affair
If the kind ever held by the associa-
ton.
And it was simply reminiscent of the
Green Mountain state, for the maple
sugar, the cider, the snow and pretty
nearly every one Of the 700 men and
women present came from Vermont.
The only Wand used that did not come
from Vermont was the dOughnut-or
rather the doughnuts, for there were
1900 of them. 1t took GOO pounds of
maple sugar. 10 barrels of snow and u
tierec of cider to satisfy the party.
During the feast there was some good
singing by the entire party under the
leadership Of Ralph Il. Brown, and both
before and after the feast there was
Iancing in tho main hall. The dinner
vas served in the exhibition hall at
'ong tables, and it was regular . fam
" party. In the dance hall over
he orchestra hung the national flag
! md the Vermont state flag.
/ The officers in charge of the affair
were President Elmer +. Silver, Vice
| President David Montague, Vice Pres
dent George W. Bishop, Arthur W
! DeGoosh, secretary, and Roland E
! Chafcv, treasurer. The entertainment
ommittec consisted of George NJ. Di

Torreon Fallen-Now What?

1t seems strange that President Huer-

General Villa announced his coming

theory for his inertia is that he knew
North Mexico was lost to him and that
he must save his strength for a further
defensive campaign in Middle Mexico.
The problem before the Constitutional
ists just now is one of organization
Some sort of civil control must be set
up and the army must be reinforced

the Constitutionalist cause is the pos

on his part to exercise a military dicta
torship would plunge the whole OF

will depend for its success on unity
of action and the backing of the army
by falrly etnclent ConStltutlonalls'
government. The capture of Torreor
has made the northern Instruction F;
much more formidable factor in tn,
Mexican problem. 1t is hard to SCI
where it has eased the policy of Presi

two teaspoonfuIs of cold water. Have
the water in the outside pan boiling.
and stir the butter gently until 1t is
melted and begins to simmer. Then
