Don t sit supinely on your roost,
But come along and help us boost
For better things of every kind,
And leave your kicking clothes behind.
Oh, let us boost for better streets
And softer beds and longer sheets:
For smoother lawns and better lights
And shorter winded blatherskites.
For bats aud boots and humble bees,
For finer homes and larger trees;
For shorter hours and longer pay,
For fewer thistles in our hay
For better grub and bigger pies,
For two more moons to light the skies !;
And let the wolves of war be loosed
On every guy that doesn t boost.

Barre Times

Things have got to a pretty pass
when Vermont villages have to lock
their stores and close their shutters on
word of the coming of a. band of gyp-
sies, as they did at West Burke one
day recently. The gypsies found only
the postoffice open when they reached
the village but they rustled around
and stole $50 from a man they found at
a machine shop, only to have the money
recovered when the marauders arrived
ut Island Pond in their northward flight
The court which iails few of these
people viii confer great favor on the
public of Vermont besides dispensing
reasonable Justice The present day
gypsie caravans are nothing more than
expeditions.
