Inspiration to Our Vermont Soldiers.
Barre Times.

Barre IImeS.(
One of the most touching incidents
in the departure of the various com
panicS Of the Vermont National Guard
from their home stations was the pres
ence of delegations Of veterans who
| gathered to give . scnd-of to the bows
who were standing where they, the vet
Grams, stood many years ago. The vet
Grams Of the Civil war and the veterans
OF the more recent trouble with Spain
well knew the feelings that dominated
the militiamen as they said good-bve
to their homes and their people. The
soldiers knew not how long their ser
| vices would be required or whether they
would be sent into actual battle against
the MeXicans, but they knew that thew
might be headed toward long service
and 4 smell of powder in a real en-
gagemcnt. Added to that was the so.
/ Iemaity of leaving home and relatives
and friends; and the leave-taking was
made none the easier by the taarfulnes>
of those left behind, Therefore the
! presence of the vctcrUs-the aocl
veterans and those Of far less years
had tendency to brace the men IN
and to inspire them with a profound de-
| gree Of patriotism, to encourage them
to 90 and give their service to their
country as hundreds Of thousands of
men had done in years gone bv. The
sight of the veterans must have been
an inspiration to the hoys as thet
marched along TO the stations and en-
trained for the modification ground

You can imagine what CAV recep.

ers of the birds looking Iovelier than
ever as the sun was shining down, and
now and again shining through tbe
trees overhanginS the stream-which
made the feathers have lovely shadows
and sparkling lights
After they had all chatted together
Or to us it would have sounded moro
like chirping-the BoboIinks began to
serve tea.
They had spring water for their Tea
the water from the cool stream
which had a deep spring within it.
And this Tea they served in little
moss-coVered stones. That gave it the
most delicious flavor and all the Birds
asked the BoboIinks where they had
found such good Tea. You know in
blrdland they don't ask each other
where anything is bought. but where
it is found! And the Bobolinks told
their secret
But as they were drinking cup after
cup-or stoneful after stoneful OF Tea
who should arrive but all the
Fairies!
The Birds greeted the Fairies with
their best songs-or their way OF say.

FISH
INQUIRER

1t seems like fish is born for the
frying pan. 1t is the most ignorant
animal we know. A canary is high
brow compared to him. Fish are not
even capable of having a good or bad
disposition. Whoever heard of a
mean fish, or Iovable, or an exubcr-
ant fish?
Did you ever sit down and look a
fish in the face and try to fathom the
secret of its soul? You can do that
with a dog, and you can listen to the
opinions of a canary all dav long if
you want to sit and listen. But fish
with an opinion would be new thing.
man could sit down and worry him
self gray regarding fish if he got to
letting his soul go out to fish very
much. We wonder why some spinster
somewhere, of irrepressible aItruistic
tendencies, isn't worrying herself
thin about that! Tomorrow there
will be. Now that we have brought IN
the matter of the density Of fish and
cried out into the night about it,
there will be somebody tomorrow to
worry about it. That is the whole
point to this article, we believe. al
though up to this time this article did
not have much of point. Tn a week
there will be little slotted boxes.

In the fall and winter season fond
fathers and mothers are anxious to
have their children taught the latest
dances. The time is now at hand to
teach them to swim, Swimming is a
real accomplishment, and is being add

colleges. Swimming is one of the most
healthful and enjoyable forms of ex-
ercise, is accident insurance in a wav.
and may provide the means for saving
the lives of others. A large percent

girls ought to be taught the trick al
so, and the time to instruct the chill

LEARN TO SWIM WEEK.
New York's Idea Expected to Decrease
Accidental Drownings.

New DIRK city is to have 'Elcarn-
to-sWlm week. - During seven davs in
July the public at large, and school

Through this campaign, and simiI r

hopes to reduce the number Of deaths
due to drowning. Last year, the mu-

many others escaped the same death

But the police alone recorded the res
cue of hundreds. In almost every in
stance the fatality and the near IA
tally might have been averted had
the victims been possessed of ONLY
enough knowledge of swimming to
keep themselves afoat until assistance
could reach them.
1t IS not supposed, Of course, that
all of New York, or, for that matter,
any great part of it, VIII learn to
