MY WEALTHY NEIGHBORS.
when, nose to the grindstone must sit
Engaged upon my daily labors
| cannot help but sigh bit,
In envy Of my wealthy nsishbon.
They live up yonder by the hill
Until October-never later,
For when the autumn breeze blows chill
They're off to follow the Equator.
They never have thing to DO
But yad about with lordly leisure,
The whole delightful summer through,
Their life Is Just one round OF pleasure
! them often In the lane
That winds along the vale below us
And want to speak-but refrain,
For they don't seem to care to know us
They'd not receive me should call,
Their manners are extremely airy,
And this can't explain at all,
For they're full Of life and merry.
All day l watch them hurry by,
Among the fields and trees and flowers,
And when the sunset paintsthe sky
They'll often cit and sing for hours.
l envy them their happy lot
I'm sometimes filled with base resentment
That these exclusive folks have got
So much that makes for sweet conenment
But when a tomcat happens by
And home the frightened father hurhes,
No longer do I cit and sigh,
For even robins have their worries!

WANTED TO SECURE
5000 TONS OF ICE
New London Ice Co. Cut 80 Tons Here,
But Gave Up Because of Weather's
Honeycombing Effect.

Two representatives of the New Lon
don lee Co, of New London, Conn.
came to Brattleboro late last week in
an effort to secure 5000 tons of ice for
shipment TO their storage houses there,
and cutting operations were begun Fri
day with the result that one carload of
about 80 tons was shipped Saturday.
The ice was secured in the Connect
cut river south of the Last Block fac
tory. where the water backs in from
Broad brook, and while it was of good
thickness the action of the weather
upon it during the past several days
had been such as to give it honey
comb appearance and cause it to crum
bic badly when handled. As it viii be
impossible to secure a further supply
| at this time the representatives re
turned to New London today.
On account of the mild weather
throughout the winter there is a short
age of thousands of tons of ice in va
rious sections of Massachusetts, Con
neeticut and New York, and it wa.
with the anticipation of helping relieve
this shortage that the men came here
from Connecticut.

ORCHESTRA'S WORK
is APPRECIATED
Baptist Bible School Musical organiza.
ton Presented IL Gold Pieces
to Buy Music.

Supt L. w. Hawley of the First Bap-
tist Bible school, who is also the con-
ductor of the orchestra, was treated to
a genuine and very agreeable surprise
yesterday noon at the close of the open
ing exercises.
Rev. Mr.. Brownell, after giving the
usual notices, alluded appreeiatively To
the work of the orchestra, who with
Miss Jessie Hawley, the pianist, were
all present but one member in spite Of
the weather, and said that some of the
people felt that they ought to share the
expense. He therefore, presented to the
leader little box, the contents of
which he hoped would assist in purchas-
ing music and other expenses incident
to carrying on their laudable work.
Mr.. Hawley was greatly pleased, as
were all the members, and expressed
their thanks as best he could, and fin.
ished by SAYING that he was delighted
to receive this fresh and tangible ev.
idence of the work of the orchestra, ne
cessitating as it did. the giving of one
evening each week for rehearsals, and
that he was firm believer in the pre-
senting of flowers before death. when
they could be enjoyed.
On opening the box he was amazed tC
find twelve $3.50 gold pieces, a most
generous recognition.

the latter part of last week TO canvass
for a new magazine, Our Boys, was
questioned Saturday afternoon by Sec

Expense of Building Great Navy.
PARIS, March 10.-A change in the at
titude of the British government regard
ing the plan to sink the interned German
warships has been noted since the return
of Premier Lloyd George to Paris 1t
now appears probable that Great Britain
will be willing to permit France and Italy
TO keep some of the ships, but will con
sent to sink her own allotment
In this way, it is said, Great Britain
would relieve the United States of the
necessity of carrying out her projected
great naval building program, which it is
understood was based on the intention to
prevent any one nation from having such
a dominant navy as would give her con
troll of the seas against the power of the
league of nations.
The addition of a limited number OF
the German warships to the French and
Italian navies would not disturb the pres.
ent balance of naval power, excluding
Austria and Germany.
The desire of American naval experts
| that the German ships be eliminated
completely, il is said, is based on consid
erations of econnmy, as they hold that il
