Many comrades will regret to learn Of the

Me. a few days ago. He WAS the author of
Tramp, Tramp, Tramp. the Boys are March

County, Aug. 20. 1890. While working on his
fathers farm he found opportunity TO learn to
play, without instruction, several musical i'm
strnments, and in his 18th year went to Bos-
ton, where lie at once found employment as a
teacher Of music. From 1899 to 1914 he gave
instructions in the public schools of this city,
and was also director of m nsic in two churches

cupied in teaching music in various educational
institutions. In 1850 he went to France, where
he spent year studying in Paris. By his
compositions and work a teacher later he

One pretty effect in the landscape round
about is the willow hedges. 1t makes n most
picturesque hedging and apparently is as USE
ful as one could wish. The intricaces of its
growth and cutting are not certainly known
to me, but probably young willow trees are
planted and Topped off when they have grown
to be three feet high. New shoots and branches
spring up quickly all around the old trunk,
making dense thicket.
Willows flourish here anyway. Willows and
naples are the most numerous trees, with oc-

THE GOULD MAUSOLEUM.
Two Well-Paid Officers Watch It

More than two years ago the remains
of Jay Gould were deposited in one of
the catacombs of the mausoleum at
Woodlawn cemetery at New York
which had been erected under his own
personal supervision nine years before
Among the many beautiful and costly
monuments in this country the Gould
mausoleum is unquestionably the
strongest. The most perfect of bank
breaking tools would be required to
force an entry through its granite walls
or double bronze doors, each of which
weighs ton. The Gould family, how
ever, are unwilling to take any CHARGES
of repetition of the A. T. Stewart
grave-robbing conspiracy, and they
have caused the massive resting place
be closely guarded by day and by night
The guards are two well-pafd special
policemen, ex-Police Captain G. w.
Gastlin and ex-Policeman Richard
Holloway.
Each does twelve hours duty In the
twenty-four. BY mutual agreement |
the two watchmen exchange watches |
