detriment to other property, or in such
manner as to increase the fire hazard

Raising a Child in Vermont.

Daniel L. Cady in Burlington Free
Press)
How good the folks all used to be,
How good and kind to one another!
Twas seldom that you a ever see
A boy or girl without mother.
For if the mother sped
Away to fill loftier station,
Some kind friend stood sponsor for the
dead
And kept intact the dear relation.
Your grandpa's folks, you re proud to
Brought up some boy the spotted fe
yer,
Or canker rash left all alone
l used TO hear how Milo Seaver
When four years old, lost all his kin,
His father, mother, brother, sister,
But Deacon Densmore took him in
And kept him till his name was g Mis-
ter.
Most everybody raised a child
| They had no special claim to favor;
| They didn't let the boy run wild.
A girl had friends enough to save her !;
! That lad that Uncle Paul espoused,
| The little Matt-in manhood later,
| The nation S senate charmed and reused
And carly hardships made him greater.
But now you can t get near your work
Unless you pass some tall asylum,
So full of kids it takes n clerk
To index up their cards and file EN-
They wait like little soldiers there,
But oft in vain, for home promotion
Their wistful eyes for foster care
And foster love bespeak devotion.
lI1d rather wear a rag-cloth blouse
L And have my shoes trifie dirty,
Than live in some great Gothic house
And jest be "Orphan Number Thir
~ ty'';
/ "a rather have some farmer s wife
I A-teH me, Fetch the kindling, Char
lie,''
Than be fenced in for half my life
And never have no soup but barley.
The war, may be, viii do US good
And make us less parured and selfish
We'd all be thankful if it would.
We'd rather all be nice than selfish
But too much salaried system p 'raps,
Too many letters " die" and forrna
Have pushed the children from our lap
And warped us from the Christia
normal.

BRITISH AVIAT0RS
BELITTLE u. S. FLIGHT
Hawker Says Any Fast Steamer Can
Beat Naval Sea Planes Across
Atlantic.

ST. JOHNS, n. F., May Harry
Hawker and Capt. Frederick 2. Raynham
made no move yesterday toward starting
their Transatlantic fight. Afraid of ar
rival of reports of unfavorable weather
in midocean, with cross winds here, they
sent several motor parties out IN further
search OF an auxiliary airdrome to allow
them to take advantage of north and
south breezes for 'hoP-off."
Local interest has turned to the prog
ress of the United States havy's fight,
and St Johns papers are carrying col
umns from Trespassey Bay, as against
paragraphs regarding the project of the
Britishers here
Hawker is inclined to belittle the Amer
lean effort, declaring that he will wager
that any fast steamer leaving New York
on the same day as the ''Nancies' of the
navy will beat them to England.
The British airmen here appear skepti-
cal of the ability of the Liberty motors
to stand the test of the long fight. Capt.
Charles w +. Morgan, Raynhams navi.
gator, signing himself Capt c. w f.
Morgan, r. A. f., f. r. G. s." an
nounced responsibility for and attached
his signature to articles printed in the
St. Johns Daily Star yesterday afternoon
which asserted the American navy's fly
ing boats would prove nothing practical
~ or theoretically"
The article said in part:
'At no time during their flight vii
they be out Of sight of ship. as tbs
American navy is putting ship every
50 miles of the way, which means that
the machines never will I'D more thar

or theoretically The personal guidanc,
of the pilot does not rule into the ques
ton, as the machine can land at an,
time alongside a ship, rest and proceed
They are also able at any time to replen
ish their petrol tank
The article makes reference to tn
fact that local interest is "all for tn
Americans" and says:
This seems rather unfair, and w
should like to believe it untrue"

The DaHodil.

When winds are harsh and tempests lower
And Springtime comes with leaden pace
The Daffodil, that fearless flower
Lifts up her ever hopeful face!
Tho Pagan-wise i'll rustic haunt,
Lingers the winters cruel chill,
Not even the snow itself can daunt
The brave high-hearted Daffodil.
Tho Winter still his rage may faunt
And snow clouds hover on the hill,
And trees are beggar'd grim and gaunt,
Still keeps his trust the Daffodili
Tho cuckoo his inspiring cry
Sounds not from the adjacent hill,
Tho robin comes all tardily,-
He fails us not, the Daffodill
The very sun, -reluctant-cold
May half withhold his Weakening thrill
ishHe gives us freely of his gold
The golden-hearted Daffodil!
I've watched him when upon my pane
The signature of frost was set,
I've watched him when on field and Ian
! The drifts lay heavy as regret;
But, never has he failed me yet;
And ever while my springs renew,
When upon him my eyes are set
| My heart viii thrill responsive, too

ANOTHER BLUE SPASM

Now they have a spasm Of it in Richmond, Va, where no
child is to be permitted to buy an ice cream cone and no man
a glass of lemonade on Sunday, however dry and hot it may
be. The old blue law fiends have invoked some ancient
law that was made when men were just coming out of the
caves, and they think that they are advancing the cause of
righteousness on earth by making the thirsty and the hungry
even suffer on the one day that we have been pleased to call
the Lords day. How those thirsty and hungry must cherish
the day and the Lord in whose name these fools make them
suffer such things. And the pious, with pretended piety,
must feel self-righteous when they see such things done at
their dictaion. And it is possible that some among them are
fools enough to believe that God in His busy heaven is watch
ing them, or has heavenly detectives watching them to jot
down in the great book of fate if %perchance one of them
should sip a lemonade or lick up a bit of ice cream for which
they have paid on Sunday. AS if God had nothing else to do
and as if He were no bigger than the bigoted who framed
and enacted such laws! The exclamation of Puck in the
play is still good, what fools these mortals bel"

FUNCTION

TOXIC, May 10.-An impressive
celebration of the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the transfer of the imperial
capital from Kioto to Toxic was
held here yesterday with the en-
peror and crown prince participat-

The occasion was marked by a
historic tribute from the officials of
Japan to American Ambassador
Morris and through him to America
and the valor of the American
army. The celebration took the
form of a brilliant luncheon by the
minister Of war. In a larger sense
the function was regarded as epoch
making in the relations between
Japan and America, and is indicat-
ing the inauguration Of closer har-
many between the military and civic
branches of the Japanese govern
ment.

No superfluous decoration will
mar the architectural beauty Of the
Arc de Triumphe, but the vast cir
GUS where IL noble con-
verge will be made into one vast
amphitheatre for thousands of spec
tators.
Decked with a profusion Of flow
ers and flags, the Avenue des
Champs Elysees will no doubt offer
a magnificent spectacle. A monu-
ment representing the League of
Nations, symbolizing Victory and
Peace, will be erected on the Ter
rasse des Feuillants, while half
way, at the Rond Point, another
monument will recall the glorious
dead, resurrected and joining in the
triumph Of the living.
The Luxor obelisk on the Place
de la Concorde will form the center
of an immense decorative scheme
extending to the famous statues rep
resenting the chief cities of France:
The decoration of the other streets
through which the pageant will
pass, will be left in the hands of
the authorities of the different city
wards.
Regret Is felt in some quarters
that by July SO many. of the actual
participants in the great battles will
have been demobilized. This will,
however, not detract from the fer
vent homage that will be paid to
the colors of the famous French
which covered them
selves with glory.
