In civilization as well as in savage
ry man has INDUCED weird fancies
IN his ornamentations sf the sepui-
chre. Even in the most barbarous
clmes and times much thought was
given to embellishments of the graves
Of beloved dead. Many of the won
ders of the world have been sar-
cophagi.
The pyramids are but repositories
for the bones of Egyptian royalty; the
catacombs vast sleeping cars for the

world by the side of his arches of tri-
umph, man has erected mausoleuma
and tombs.
In the heart of Vermont, in the shad-
ow of the snOw-clad or moss mantled
Green mountains, stands a unique
sepulchre erected by devoted wealth,
at the cost Of many thousands of dol
lars, called Laurel Glen mausoleum.
Throughout that part Of New Eng
land known as the marble state, the
name OF Cuttingsville stands only
for this mausoleum; the rude hamlet
has but one pride, one distinction, it
holds a tomb!
An opulent New Yorker had sought
solitude in this picturesque village for
several summers. and had built for
his use a splendid mansion. But his
last loved one was taken away by
death, and the only consolation re-
naming was TO leave his history in
marble. And so Hen. John p Bowman
erected a magnificent memorial to his
family, which is now visited by tour
lists from all parts of the country.
\ whole years time and the labor of
125 men were employed upon this
Greek temple. reared amid the green
shrubbery in this lovely valley among
the mountains which encompass Yer

threshold. Rare exotics adorn the
lawn in summer and conservatory is
kept up solely for the decoration Of
the tomb in winter.
The cost of this sarcophagus is sup
posed to be enormous, but no records
can be discovered. The founder left
$4,000 for the sole purpose Of having
the grounds and the tomb cared for
perpetually.
Six trustees guard this legacy and
one of their number enjoys the castle
once occupied by the Bowman family.
It faces the mortuary, and in it are
the elegant furnishings just as thev
were used by the erratic owner.
The tomb was completed before the
death of the founder. What meIan-
chOly satisfaction he experienced in
viewing his own marble image forever
ascending the steps that led to the
cold clay and colder marble present
ments of his wife and children can
only be surmised, He has made the
village nestled in the mountains under
the shadow of Killington a point for
curiosity seekers and the life and
death story Of his own obscure family
well-nigh imperishable. Perhaps to
have done this seemed to him worthy
OF having lived.

admitting that the British and French
navies are larger.
Our relations with foreign officers
are very cordial, and the very strength
of our navy will insure US a long period
of peace. While have great pride in
our navy, l am confident that the in
terests Of the world in the future lie
in the direction of peace. Not only
does Christian civilization shudder at
war, but as a financial question it is
becoming impracticable. The cost of
preparation to-day is more than any
nation can bear. When TO this you add
the still greater cost resulting from
loss of business, destruction of COM
merce, and the general upsetting of
all Industries, the total reaches an in
ealculable figure. 1t will be a disgrace
to civilization and discredit to human
ingenuity and judgment if after solv-
ing all other great problems it cannot
solve the problem of international dis
putes in some way less clumsy, brutal
and costly way than by killing and
bloodshed and the destruction of life
and property.

A blending of poetry with the stern
reality of manual work in applied sci

Chicago the other day. President Gun

appreciation of the delicate fights Of
poetry. introduced a new feature by
giving over an hour to lecture OF one
Of the later English poets. The Pur-
pose of the lecture to the freshmen,
as announced by President Gunsaulus,
was to give to the students broader
view of the education that might be

President james j. Hill Showed Rail-
road LabOrers IL Trick of
Their Trade.

One of the most versatile men in the
country is James j. Hill, president Of
the Great Northern railroad. He has
a comprehensive grasp of the details
of railrOading that few men possess.
Since he began to pay close attention
to the financial side of railroading pub
lie attention has been somewhat di-
verted from the other phase of his
management. An incident that oc-
cuEred recently, however, shows that
Mr., Hill is as practical as ever. While
on a tour over the Great Northern
road his train, which was going down

steep grade, became derailed. Run
ming at a low rate of speed as the
train was, no damage was sustained
by the officials further than a general
shaking up. Mr.. Hill was the first man

running several rods along the ties.
lie found that the locomotive had been
thrown from the rails and stood watch
ing the Intellectual efforts of the train
crew TO place the engine back on the
track. Jackscrews were used, but the
men did not seem to thoroughly under
stand the work.
"That won't do" said Mr.. Hill
"Your jacks won't lift it when in that
position"
But the men applied the levers,
thinking they would show the presi-
dent that they knew their business.
The Jacks slipped, letting the ponder
Gus machine down on the ties with
bump. ,,
'Let me set that jack" said Mr.. Hill.
'I don't think it will slip then" and
grabbing the screw, he set it at an IN
SI;.s to his own satisfaction and after
throwing little sand on the top and
bottom he exclaimed: Now, go
ahead"
The trainmen were little dubious
at first, but they applied the levers
and the huge machine slowly lifted
itself into place and slid quietly on to
the rails. The delay was only 20 min
utes.

They awoke late the next day to

nothing loatb, agreed. They were
without chips. but a substitute was
readily found by Smelling some Of
the corn and using the kernels
thereof in lieu of the regulation
white and blue disks.
THE corn was of three colors, ,
continued the Senator, red, yellow
and white, and the knights Of the
road decided to make the white

tramps, after surveying his cards,

Wounded Man Is Crazy.

Sam Pedro, the negro who was badly
stabbed in a fight at luau the other
night, was arrested last night by Officer
Spinner for riding in brake without a
light. He was taken to the police sta
tion The officer did not know who the
man was until after he had placed him
under arrest. Pedro was out of his head
and raving like a maniac. He was driv-
ing with his son. His son did not know
where the father was going or what he
was about to do. 1t was with some diff
Guilty that Pedro was restrained from
violent actions and lodged in cell at
the police station. AS far as his wound
is concerned he is doing very We'll, but
he is at present out of his mind. The pa
troll wagon had just gone to Pedro's res
idence to take him to the hospital for
proper treatment, for his brother could
not manage him while he was out of his
head, when the fellow was arrested for
driving without light
