Greene a Worthy Representa-

fVergennes Enterprisel

lVergennes Enterprise]
Congressman Greene came up strong
on the subject Of national defense wher
it was under discussion in TIE House the
other day. The Army and Navy Journal
the highest authority on matters con.
nected with the services, had this to say
1.-THE feasibility of the taking over of
the National Guard by the feder-
al government was brought squarely be
fore the House by Representative Greene
of Vermont, who made altogether one of
the best speeches of that day of oratory
on the subject of national defense"
Colonel Greene's knowledge of military
matters was not acquired over night. He
has had actual experience in the service.
This aud the habit he has of thoroughly
acquainting himself with any subject be-
fore he gets up to talk about it are what
makes his addresses worth listening to.
The first Vermont district is worthily
represented at Washington.

Value of Time.

It is rather curious sidelight on
the character of men of renown that
in reading a life of one of them you
almost invariably will be struck by the
fact that he exemplified the saying,
Those who have most to do and are
willing to work. will find the most
time" They are all adept at the art
of what Bennett calls living on "a
hours day. Their time is invaria bly,
well arranged, and treasured to the
very second, sometimes consciously,
sometimes unconsciously. For exam
pie, Thomas Jefferson always kept
a.book on the mantelpiece in his din
ing-room. If dinner was late, the min
utes served him. This priceless power
of making the minutes serve them is
common to all great men.

Use for Water Hyacinth,

In Cambodia and other parts of
Indo-China where the spread of the
water hyacinth has seriously inter.
fered with navigation of the rivers an
effort has been made to solve the
pr Nblem by endeavoring to find some
use for the plant. and with this end
in view chemists and students have
been encouraged to investigate the
problem. A French professor named
Perrot has extracted the fiber from
the plant, and finds that after drying,
preferably by gradual process, it can

No Looking Back in MorriSVille

Since the long succession of Morris
vile reports were first published in the
local press there has been no looking back
Morrisvlle evidence continues to pour in,
and-better still-those whose reports
were first published many years ago,
verify all they said in most hearty and
unmistakable way. Read the expert
ence of Mr.. q. FL. Small, carriage painter,
of Randolph ST., Morrisville. He says:
''For long time / suffered from attacks
of backache and soreness across my
loins. l felt dull and languid and had
other symptoms of kidney trouble. Be-
ing told about Doan's Kidney Pills,
got a box at Cheney's Drug Store. Be-
fore had used them long, found that
they were helping me. continued tax
ing this remedy and it made decided
improvement. I cheerfully confirm my
former endorsement of Doan's Kidney
Pills. Whenever / have need of a kidney
medicine, 1 take Doan's Kidney Pills
and they act just as represented"

Sens In Verse
CUSTER Battlefield.

THE hand that smote at Custer rests
Oh the shining plow.
The war drums in the tepees are
u strangely silent now,
Nor do the eagle feathers adorn
the warriors brow
The meadow lark is singing where sleep
the white and red
Its nest is in the grasses where martyred
heroes bled.
Its song shall reach Valhalla. home of the
Seventies dead. :
There are no futtering bonnets upon the
rivers brink,
No hosts in blue are marching, no hoofs
of chargers clink,
But in the Little Big Horn lamb has
paused to drink,
A lamb which yonder shepherd has guard
ed tenderly
The while his flock has wandered across
the sage strewn lea.
1t drinks where Redeemed waters once
FASTENED to the sea.
And thus the lark. full throated. and lamb
beside the stream
Are smiled on by the heavens that caught
the saber's gleam
And the day of death and glory is but a
warriors dream

Not Much Out of His Class,

Hearing noise at the kitchen en-
trance, the man of the house slipped
quietly to the rear door and suddenly
opened it. The grocer's delivery boy
was there with a basket containing
a dozen eggs, a pound of butter and
some Roquefort cheese.
"Oh, it's you, is it, Billy" said the
man. my wife is always afraid when
she hears a noise here, especially after
it begins to grow dark. She thinks
it's a robber."
"Well, she needn't change her mind
on my account" gloomily responded

THE WOMEN SPEAK.

OVER the farm lands, plowed and sown
" Our men go tramping off to war.
Who will reap when the grain is grown?
Why, we. We've reaped before
PEAPED? Why, yes See, our hand.
~ are worn,
Our backs are bent, our faces dull.
Our men, you see, are bound ere born
To keep the armies full.
so water the stock and till the land;
~ Feed the children our men begot
Wait for the time expired band
That is the womens lot
RUT now the dread we always know
- Has sickened all the land with fear.
The young, the strong, the old must go.
Ruin and death draw near.
OUR lands are stripped Of all our men.
~ The war kings call the conscripts out.
What for? God knows, not we But, then,
Who are we, to doubt?
blood will stain all our rivers brown.
- The red flame leap across the land;
Pillage will waste our thin crops down.
All at the kings command
OUR driven men with last caress
" Go tramping off to war. For what?
Their children will be fatherless-
That is the peasants lot

CHANGES OE TIME.

w YHEN | think sometimes of old
griefs | had,
M OF sorrows that once seemed
w too harsh to bear,
And youths resolve to never
more be glad
I laugh and do not care.
When think sometimes of the Joy |
knew,
The gay. glad laughter ere my heart
was wise,
The trivial happiness that seemed so true,
The tears are in my eyes.
Time, Time the cynic-how he mocks us
all!
And yet today | can but think him
right.
All, heart, the old joy is so tragical
And the old grief so light!
-Theodosia Garrison.
