BURNING BRUSH IN VERMONT.

NY DanleI -. Cauy.I
Most farms. in any place you please.
Have here and there some scattering trees.
Some oaks and elms and first growth stun
A-standing where it's pretty rough;
And. p'raps. some orchard remnants, too.
Old trunks whose Pippin days are
through;
And Gee! 1t used to do me good
When these went into winter wood
knew. despite the springtime rush,
There'd be a day for burning brush.
And 30 not far from April first,
When Jokes and mud was at their worst,
Wed start some morning when the sky
Was deader than Dick Deadeye's eye: i.
And first. we'd hook the kitchen mop
And kerosene 1t wet as sop.
Then wrap It round some kindlinG sticks
And make a sort Of hre-bug mix
Then OF we'd strike through mud and
slush
To spend the day a-burning brush.
Our orders was from Uncle Dyer
To burn n stump with every fire.
And 30 we'd look around to see
Which stump had held the biggest tree;
And then we'd put our kindling kit
Right square. BY Gosh! on top Of it.
And then we'd heap Camel's Hump
OF brush all over Mr.. Stump.
And then would come breathless hush
While Uncle D. touched on the brush.
In less. BY George! than half an hour
That fire begun to get the power
We danced and sung above its roar.
Like Bolsheviki hollering "MOre:
The smoke rolled off along the ground
As though a train Of cars was round;
The flames shot upwards high and higher
As II st. Adams was ahre:
The clouds got red as railroad plush
Both heaven and earth was burning
brush.
l recollect one measly morn
/ slipped along the powder horn,
And sprinkled on the oily wood
More than. I guess, l s'posed i should
So that when Uncle lit his match
The thing went up like Irish thatch:
What followed changed my views entire
Concerning powderizing fire
The way he made my trousers blush
Linked up my life with burning brush.
There always seemed to be strife
Betwecn our fires and savage life;
The crows would light some distance of
And mock us with cider cough;
The jays put UP an awful fuss.
And once an adder stung at US.
And once n woodchuck made jump
Frem right beneath flaming stump
The world with wonders seemed to gush
When we was out a-burning brush
And once the blaze, with wicked sense,
Lit out for neighbor Newton's fence,
And fore we got the thing In tow
It burned rod of raiis or 30;
And sometimes. too. way after dark
Wed have to 70 and stomp a spark;
But still. as those days recall.
They're worth an idle lawyers scrawl-
I'd tramp again through mud and siush
70 burn gousing batch Of brush.

FARM BUILDINGS DESTROYED.
House and Barn of Victor Ward Of Bar
nard Struck By Lightning.

Bethel, Aug. l5.-During fierce elee-
trical storm yesterday afternoon the
farm home and barn adjoining of Victor
Ward of Barnard, with most of their
contents, were destroyed by fire, caused
by lightning. The barn was full of hay
and contained four pigs and calf. The
fire burned very rapidly and there are
few near neighbors to help. Mr.. Ward
was in the field when the storm broke.
On his arrival he found his wife in a
highly nervous state, and in her excite
ment she thrust her hand through
window and cut an artery in her whist,
which bled profuselyq DR.. 0. V. Greene
happened to be driving by and was called
in. He stopped the flow of blood and
sewed up the cash, taking Mrs. Ward to
the sanatorium for a few days rest and
treatment. He also brought home to
this village, Mrs. Mary Abbott, who,
with her daughter, Mrs. Lena Blake,
went Tuesday to visit the Wards Later
Mrs. Blake was brought back. The son
and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ward
STAYED last night at Ernest Adams, and
Mr.. Ward spent the night at his other
barn across the street from the burned
buildings He is one of the most indus
trious farmers of this section and much
regret is felt at his loss, which is esti-
mated at $500, with insurance of 81 800.
The Ward farm is five miles from this
village. .,
