Clark l.. Pierce, general manager of
the Rutland railway, whose death oc-
Cured on Sunday last, was an example
of what any young man not afraid Of
hard work can do in Vermont. We hear
in excuse for so many of our youths
leaving old Vermont to seek their fortune
elsewhere, that this state does not offer
opportunities enough for advancement
in lie. Mr.. Pierce had not the opportu-

precticed on it until he became so pro-
flcient that he was given an instrument
in the Swanton station. From that office
he quickly rose TO the train dispatcher :
Office at 81. Adams. In his spare hours he
studied stenography, and this led to his
being given temporary position in the
office of the general freight agent His
ability attracted the attention Of the gen
eral manager and he was made private
secretary OF that official. From that po-
sition to the office of the general man.

step. No favOritism entered into his
