Now" says Mr.. CARL, why not bring
those prisoners over here to feed, and
save freight? Load every returning

Kaiser's submarines sink the ships they
will be simplifying one of the allies

Transforming Day Coaches.

Ex-Governor E. C. Smith Of st.
Adams, Chairman Of the sub-commit-
tee on Transportation of the Vermont
Committee Of Public Safety. who is
president of the Central Vermont Rail-
road, has been conducting some ex-
.tensive experiments in the matter Of
supplying the necessary railroad trans
portation facilities for troops in event
of large bodies being moved for con-
siderable distances. He has developed
through the cooperation Of the shops
and employees Of the Central Vermont
railroad a means Of converting ordi
nary day coaches into sleeping cars
This is done by arranging sleeping
berths out of seats, and the construc-
ton Of a folding canvas overhead
which takes the place Of the upper
berth The continuance is very simple
and inexpensive. The cost for trans
forming the ordinary day coach into
a Sleeping car is insignificant, comfort
Of the men considered. His shops
have been also experimenting with the
matter Of kitchen cars and have devel-
oped a very practical system Of sub
sisting troops while enroute by rail.
Last years Mexico .fzzle demon
strated the impossibility of securing
necessary pullman or tourist sleeping
cars to convey even small bodies OF
troops, but Yankee ingenuity can be
trusted to meet every necessity, if
given a fair show

The young goats at mischief, but little

o youth of my loving, and is it well
with you?
All through the night sat my mother with
"Whisht it is the storm. o one childeen
of my heart!'
My hair with the wind, and my two hands
clasped in anguish;
Black head of my darling! too long are
we apart.
Were your grave at my feet, I would
think it half a blessing;
could herd then the cattle. and drive
Many q Paternoster would say for your

dawn of day.
I see you on the prairie, hot with thirst
and faint with hunger;
The head that I love lying low upon
the sand.
The vultures shrek impatient. and the
coyote dogs are bowling,
Till the blood Is pulsing cold within
your clenching hand.
1 see you on the waters, so white. so
still, forsaken,
Your dear eyes enclosing beneath a
foreign rain;
A plaything Of the winds, you turn and
drift unceaSing;
No grave for your resting; oh mine the
bitter pain!
All through the night did I hear the
banshee keening;
Somewhere you are dying, and nothing
can do:
My hair with the wind, and my two hands
clasped in anguish;
Bitter Is your trouble-and I am far
from you.

SALEM'S FAMOUS PEAR TREE.
Bearer of Fruit That Washington
Liked Is 20S Years Old.
(From the Boston Globe.)


Two hundred and eighty years ago
the colonial governor of Massachu-
sets, John Endicott, purchased a vast
tract Of land at Davenport, then
known as the southern section of Sa-
lem village. The estate afterward be-
came known as the Endicott planta-
ton.
Gov. Endicott, being a great lover
of sugar pears, sent to a relative in
Dorchester, England, for a pear tree.
After several months the tree arrived
and at that time few people believed
that the tree would live, as the roots
had become very dry.
The governor, believing that he, bet
ter than any one else, was the proper
man to plant the tree, journeyed to
the plantation, and there, in a shell
tered spot close to the Danvers River,
dug a hole and carefully planted his
treasured tree.
For many years the governor cared
for the tree himself, and it was not
long before it became the most famous
of all fruit trees of Massachusetts.
Each year for nearly three centu-
ries the tree has never failed to sup
ply an abundant crop of juicy sugar
pears of the finest quality. This year
there were nearly 1900 pears on the
tree. Few people who visit Danvers
miss the opportunity of seeing this
wonderful tree, which is carefully
guarded by picket fence
The Endicott tree is thought to be
the Oldest fruit tree in North Amer
lea and it is very doubtful if there is
a tree in existence bearing such a
bountiful crop at this great age.
The tree is made up Of three dis
tinct trunks, which are partially de-
cayed. although the upper section of
the tree is quite healthy in appear
ance.
Endicott himself used to relate that
the tree supplied a sufficient number
of pears to supply the entire Salem
village. In those days there We're less
than 100 inhabitants in the village;
today the same territory has a pop
ulation of nearly 100000
When Gov. Endicott died in 1865
special mention was made in his will
in regard to his famous tree, which
was left in care of his daughter.

Boy Scouts Do NOT Carry Guns.

The following, clipped from the Boy
Scouts news bulletin, is not only inter-
esting information for the public, but
contains worthy subject for consider
alton by boys and by men:
The BOY Scout Movement does not
put the idea of killing in the minds of
Boy Scouts: it does not put instruments
Of death into their hands.
Uncle Sam does not want boy SOL
diers. Military work is mans work.
There is no reason why the nation
should ask its boys to become soldiers.
They are needed for boys work.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Major
General Leonard A. Wood, the Secre-
tary of War. the Secretary of the
Navy. the Chief Of STAFF OF the United
States Army-these men, seriously
concerned with the proper Preparations
of our boys for their full duty as citi-
Zens. are officers Of the Boy Scouts Of
America. On April I'd, Major General
Hugh l.. Scott. Chief of Staff, wrote:
THE necessary elementary instruction
that every young American should have
in order to be prepared to play his part
In the National defence can be obtained
by his work in the Boy Scouts of
America"
National Education Committee,
after thorough investigation of the ad-
visibility Of military training for
schoolbcys reported:
tivities of similar associations of young
people. which avoid military exercises,
but which involve features designed to
promote health and strength. and incul-
cate courtesy. mutual respectfulness, up
rightness, and patriotic devotion should
be encouraged.
The boys work in the boy Scouts
of America does NOT include strictly
military drill. The Scout Movement
has found far better way to train
and use boys in our country's SER
vice in times like these The eminent
military men ramed above, the Presi-
dent Of the United States, Governors,
educators, pastors, business and pro-
fessional men know. and have said.
that the Scout Movement provides
more beneficial training for boys Of
scout age than any military" course
When you see a boy carry a gun
when you see the picture Of boy with
a gun-you may be SURE that he is
NOT Boy Scout as the term Boy
Scout is understood throughout the
world Don't call him a Boy Scout. If
you do so you do grave injustice and
real harm to the movement Of which
the President Of the United States Is
the Honorary President and which has
the hearty support Of all men and
women who are eager to see the 8.000,-
900 boys of today develop into wholly
efficient citizens.
