THE BURNS monument.
What the Editor of the Granite Gut

The October issues of this excellent

"nothing but good granite sta,uary for
Boston," With our improved carving
tools, q careful selection of statuary
stock and the employment of tor-notch
carvers, granite can be turned out with
a delicacy of finish where necessary,
and a touch of nature in the rough when
required, that challenges the admiration
of the art student and puzzles the lay
man to know how it happened. Fine
architecture has often been likened to
frozen music, and in like manner the
citizens of Barre have a justifiable RICH
to claim for their favorite monument the
title of frozen song.

A GREAT GAME.
Barre Defenders Defeat Burlington
B. H. S. Team.

The Free. Press has this to say con-
corning the game at Burlington Satur-
day in which our team defeated the
Burlington team:
The B. II. III. foot ball team lined up
against the Barre Defenders Saturday
afternoon at Athletic Park. The visitors
came out victorious, defeating the home
team by a score of . to 0. AS at the
game with st. Adams the week before,
the B. II. S. boys seemed to fail to get
into the spirit Of the game until they
had allowed their opponents to score on
them. Thus the Defenders made
touchdown in the first part of the first
half, but made no decisive gains after
this. The playing of the second half
was very nearly even, neither side scor-
ing. While the home team did some
excellent playing in the last half, the
visitors played the same steady game
from the very start to the finish and this
gave them the victory.

A Personal Statement.

Whenever a fair minded person hears
an improbable story, which, on the
very face of it, is evidently told for the
purpose of doing injury 10 another fol
the benefit of the narrator, he feels a
sense of suspicion that there must be
another side to the story.
The following is Il simple statement
of the facts in regard to certain de-
spatch which the Barre Daily Times of
Saturday accused me of stealing:
On Wednesday night of last week
while | was hurrying home to supper,
was stopped on the street by the tele-
graph messenge' boy, who handed me
what | naturally supposed to be a de-
spatch for the TELEGRAM. There were
two sheets of paper. | glanced at them
and saw that the first sheet was ad-
dressed to the TELEGRAM. 1t was then
nearly 6 o'clock, and. knowing that it
was of no impol lance at that time in
the day, | placed ii i'll my pocket and
continued on my way, thinking no more
about it. attended the play at the
opera house, and before retiring for
the night took some papers out of my
pocket. Amongst them We're the afore-
mentioned sheets | looked at them
and for the first time noticed that there
were two separate dispatches and that
one was addressed to the Times. laid
them down, intending to return the
Times sheet the first thing in the morn
ing to the telegraph office. The next
day was Dewey day, and during the
forenoon | went 70 get the despatch but
could not find it. Surprising it had
been mislaid by those who took care of
my room, and knowing then that it GER
tainly could be of no use to the Times
as the Free Press contained a full
account OF the st. bloomsbury meeting, |
went to Montpelier to the celebration.
| returned on the last car that night and
on Friday went to Frank E. Langley
with the above explanation, with which
he was apparently satisfied for he
replied: "Ies, ii was too late for me
to use it,

may be somewhat at variance with that
which my esteemed contem orary has
placed before the public. present
this statement to the people for them to
judge Of its truth or falsity.

such water binds the dirt together be-

raised by the wind; that sea water
does not dry so quickly as fresh water
so that when salt water has been used

deposited on the street absorbs mois-

street is thoroughly moist during the

VACATION IN A BALLOON.

The balloon which they will choose
is an ordinary picnic balloon, such as il
used every spring at county fairs. The
ascension is made with the aeronauts in
car suspended from the balloon, and
the travellers carry with them pro.
visions to last a day or two, also cork
