Glassware Marks Her Tomb
Near Atlanta, Ga.

Probably the most unique tombstone
to use the WORD CUR
ntively-in the state is ole not more
than three miles, from the center of
Atlanta, Ca, in tie rural cemetery in
Battle Hill. 1t is that of Mrs. V. E..
Bartlett, and was erected by her hus-
band, a confederate veteran. The Bart
let's lived hermits' lives and had no
children. When his wife died five years
ago Bartlett appeared to be crazed.
For long time he buried himself in
the forests. Finally he began the cree
ton of tombstone over his wife's
grave, adding to it from time to time
until at present the following articles
compose the pile.
Eight porcelain bowls, twelve china
pitchers, ten glass pitchers, one wheel
from toy wagon, one grindstone, six
oyster shells, three quart bottles, eight
pint bottles, six berry bowls, one mir
ror, three salt cellars, one pepper box,
twelve china plates, cups and saucers, a
finger bowl and innumerable bits of
colored glass.
The old man, in spite of the fact that
he has remarked, spends every moon.
light night on cot over the grave.
Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1900-08-28

and cents in the effort to force upon
the Filipinos our superior civilization
is 553 young men killed in action, 1856
who died from wounds, 1868 who died
of disease, making total of 1884 of
the flower of American manhood. To
this mustbe added 2073 in battle and
more or less crippled for life. To this
is yet to be added an unknown number
of sick. sent home, many of whom
have since died.
These are some of the broad and I'M
miStakable distinctions between the
expansion of Jefferson and that Of Mr..
kinley: that of Jefferson looking to
the building up of states, extending
the constitution and the laws over
willing people: that of Mckinley, in
creating subject provinces to its peo-
pie to be kept in submission by the
presence of large military force and
its people to have no voice in their
laws or in the choice of those who ex-
erciSe and execute civil rule over them.
1t is the difference between a Repub-
lie and an Empire, between govern
ment by consent of the governed, and

A member of a National Banking
Association and farmer each having
say a $50 government bond. The
farmer hands his to the treasurer is
handed the money and the bond is
cancelled. The banker hands his to
the treasurer receives the face of the
bond in national bank currency. Now
it is plain that both bonds have been
fully paid their face value, and both
should be Cancelled. But the banker S
bond is placed to his credit drawing
2 per cent. interest l.00a year, against
which is charge of of one per cent,
% cents. Now it is evident that %
cents is the total sum invested by the
banker because he has the face of the
bond in national bank currency. Hence
for the investment of 25 cents. he is
paid IS cents interest annually for 80
years, amounting in the aggregate to
$3.50. This is the way republican
legislation discriminates in favor of a
class, and is one of the iniquities of
the financial bill which was voted for
by Congressman Haugen.
