Chamberlin post No. I, department. of
Vermont takes pride in the fact that its
membership roll has upon it the names of

born in Canterbury, y. H., December I,
1903, and served faithfully and honorably
TO the end of the war in company d, 1st

driver in Banks's retreat from the Kappa
hammock. and is reported to have been the
only one who escaped with his ambulance,
which he accomplished by driving over stone
walls stumps and through bitches, showing
his regular Green mountain grit. Not long
since Comrade Young, with the filial love
of Il dutiful SON. made the journey unat-
tended to the State of Maine to visit his
good old mother. who has since died at the
age of 100 years and three months. An

NEW NonK. March 5.-Nery few people
stop to think that the Astor family Of New
York is in fair way to he the richest fam
lily on the face of the globe within a very
few years. Their property now is ostima
ted to he worth about S4OO 600, 600 and it
is increasing at a tremendous rate. OF
course every body knows that old Astor
made his money out of real estate, and that
the present members of the family have
their enormous property invested in land.
That is about all most people know about
them. They are very careful to keep out
of the eye Of the public and their business
transactions are always done through agents
This vast bulk of money is all invested and
rc-mVcsted in the line of n regular policy.
Almost every penny of the SlOO 1000 600 is
in real estate on Manhattan island. The
Astors own block after block along Broad
way and miles upon miles along the avenues
and side streets. Included among their
holdings are hotels office buildings restau-
rants bar-roOms. factories, apartment houses
and dozens of private residences. They
have never sold n square inch of land nor n
single brick of any building during the last
half century. On the contrary every dol
