Individual Rights
Burlington Clipper.

The time has passed when iudivid-
ualS can set up unto themselves per
sonal rights without regard for the in
tcrcst and comfort Of other people
This spirit may have Il leaning towards
Socialism but il only shows the radi-
cal changes that have been brought
about during the past few years. This
change began some twenty wears ago
when a famous railroad president said
that the public be damned Since
that time individual and corporate
rights have been materially changing
Tae railroads and other corporate
interests have found the hand of the
/ law all powerful III preventing the
rights of the people being trampled
upon. The regulations are such today
that corporations have practically nc
individual interests.
This principle should be no different
rs applied to individuals For PEG
PIE to say that they can do as they
| please is inviting lawlessness anC
eventually anarchy. There can he M

croach on the Peace and happiness 0,

spirit Of working together for the com

FOX TERRIERS.

"A little girl named Kate" said
Daddy, "once owned tiny fox terrier
puppy. He was so cunning and play
ful, though, like all puppies, at times
lie was naughty.
"'You must have his tail cut her
friends all said.
"'Won't it hurt him?' asked Kate.
She couldn't quite imagine such
thing happening without it hurting
frightfully. What IL someone said her
arm had to he cut off, or her foot,
wouldn't it hurt?
1T won't hurt so much If you have
it cut when he is still a puppy. Usu-
ally these puppies have their tails cut
off before they are sold. A fox terrier
would look very queer with long
tail. Everyone would think he was
nothing but an ordinary dog, and YOU
have a fine. well-bred puppy. And
so her friends talked on.
"kate felt very badly about 1t, but
still if her dog looked Queerly. what
| was she to do? And they told her it
was better to have it done when the
dog was little.
"She saw the dog doctor and he said
he would call for the dog and take
him home for week.

long timcT asked Kate.
"Well, he won't feel so very well

But he will be all right soon and he'll

When birds sing best and meadows

When trees are listening to the
brooks
And waters leap the rocks in foam,
The anglers seek sequestered hooks,
Supplied with bait Of worm or fly,
With the silken line aud springing

That reach where speckled beauties lie
In running stream and crystal pool.
inpatient watch they sit and wait,
In meditation g happy dream,
Disturbed by nibbles at the bait
Or by the voices Of the stream.
The foregoing stanza from poem
entitled The Pleasures of the Angler
by John W. Gordon, is conclusive evi.
dence that the genial Barre barrister
knows more about law and politics
than he does about fishing. No expert
