Fortune Knocks But Once
sat beside my humble hearth
with roaring logs piled high,
and scanned tie pages Of book.
While passed the moments by:
Fierce blew the wintry winds without
Beat against my crazy door
The Tapping of their wings unseen
Some urgent message bore:
The rafting door In sprightis glee
The pressing message brought 70 ,ns,
But still perusing there I sat
BY genial warmth held fast
The cheerful blaze from cracking logs
flick'ring red light cast
knew the cali brooked no delay
Act promptly something said;
But hearthstone dreams hour were mine.
With sixty minutes fled.
The hour supreme OF life had passed,
My chance was swept before the mast,
rue the day when that chance fled
fnaCtion let ii go.
That Fortune knocks but once in life,
IT'S mine to fully know.
My crazy door may creak anon.

I cannot live life DER.
Thus through life OF Misery's kin,
II dream of all that might have been.

Verses by Virginians
The Lonely Grave.

The Lonely Grave.
y lonely grave upon the hill; there sleeps the
dead serene
An there the hum OF bee is heard the flight oil
bird Is seen
There fresh from out the midday West cool
gentle breath,
There necks Of sunshine thro' the leaves fall
on the home of death.
Full many changes time has wrought, as
cycling years have fed
Since in this lonNly grave was laid TO sleep the
sacred dead;
But still untouched by change or scene uncon-
scious there he sleeps,
AS Mother Earth that human clay within her
bosom keeps.
In boyhood days-when life was young
tramped that lonely wood,
And often stopped to view the grave. beside 1t
silent stood,
And wondered why the dead was laid in that
wild spot alone.
II death had found him far from friends, his
kindred there unknown.
I chased the robins in the spring DER all that
hillside fair
And as l spec with Bonded bow, forgot the
sleeper there;
The swelling buds of early May with promises
were rife
For everywhere in silence they were bursting
into life.
I sometimes thought of why the dead within
their graves remain.
While Nature In her kindly mood breath
lite again.
And Winter in his icy hand scepter longer
bore
But man returns unto this life from out the
grave no more!
Though far beyond terrestrial scenes. beyond
the star-lit dome.
The disembodied souls shall meet in that celeH-
tal home;
And while that sleeper on the hill rests from
all worldly strife
There waits him in the Great Beyond a pure, a
perfect life

SUED BY WIDOW WHO
HELPED TO FREE HIM
Captain Thomas P Kinney Is Defend
ant in $4,000 Breach of
Promise Action

HARTFORD, Conn, July 30.-It be-
came known here yesterday that Mrs
Mary A Coulter, widow of a prominent
resident of Old Saybrook, has filed a.S1e
000 breach of promise suit in the New
London county superior court against
Thomas p. Kinney, politician of Colches-
ter. She also has started civil action to
recover 5000 from Kinney for expenses
involved in getting him out of the state
insane asylum, for which marriage was to
be her reward, she alleges.
At the Kinney home in Colchester last
night it was said the captain was in New
York and Mrs, Coulter denied herself to
all interviewers.
In her complaint Mrs Coulter alleges
that Capt Kinney proposed marriage to
her July /, 1914, and she accepted him.
Capt. Kinney had been in a private sani-
tarium several times, and during the sum-
mer of 1914 he was prevailed upon to en-
ter the state hospital for the insane at
Norwich.
On Oct IS, so Mrs. Coulter alleges,
Capt. Kinney represented to her at the
asylum that if she would execute her note
to him for $1,000, he would be able to
get his release from the asylum and marry
her. The complaint continues that on
Feb 20 1915, he left the asylum com
pletely cured, but has since refused to
make good his marriage promise.
Yesterday money in banks in Norwich,
Middletown and Bridgeport and property
to the extent of $4,000 was attached.

ASQUITH'S STATEMENT
SUITS BRITISH PRESS
High Time Responsible Men Took Pub
lie into Confidence, Says the
Westminster Gazette

LONDON, July 3o.-Throughout all the
responsible press Of England commenda-
tion is expressed of Premier Asquith' 5
speech in the House of Commons:
The Westminster Gazette reflects the
universal opinion when it SAYS:
"We are glad the prime minister used
the debate to make clear and practical
statement about the present condition Of
affars and the contribution which this
course is making to the present world
struggle. We are glad also, that he re-
pudiated with indignation the idea which
has been disseminated in some quarters
that the people Of this country have not
risen to the height of this occasion.
"Asquith's words ring true, and. it was
high time there should be a forcible and
authoritative statement on the subject.
All responsible men here and in France
and Russia know the truth, and there
never was moment when they more
completely trusted each other, but there
is an outside public in all countries which
relies on half knowledge and conjecture
and responsible men cannot without peri
neglect their duty of informing them and
/ keeping them in heart and confidence"
! Special significance may be attached tc
| this reference to France and Russia.

STOCKWELL SUES
FOR $4,000 DAMAGES
Action Against Twin State Gas g.
Electric CO. for Injuries Received
at High Street Corner

Clarence S. Stockwell, through his
attorneys, Chase & Chase, has entered
suit in county court against the Brat
tleboro Street Railroad Co. and the
Twin State Gas & Electric Co, for
50 900 for injuries received when he
was thrown from a sleigh at the cor
ner of Oak and High streets Jan. Is,
1915.
He alleges that the guard rail was an
inch above the service rail and that
the roadbed was washed away to a
depth of five inches below the guard
rail and that the accident was due to
negligence on the part of the company
owning the railroad.
lie alleges that he was seriously in
jured at the time and was made deaf
and is still suffering from his injuries.
This suit is based on the same condi-
tions as the suit brought two weeks
ago by Melvin L. Dalrymple, whu
claimed to have been injured at the
same place.
