Mary wanted to send a message at

would be spared and that she had

which she was very proud-but the
Tower gates would not open until

pensated herself as well as she could

told him of his pardon. but not one
word upon the theme he so wished yet

to wed any other man. Mary had not
told him of her final surrender in the

VERMONT LAND VALUES. :
Some Census Figures Showing In.
crease During 20 Years.

1t would be of some interest to those
proposing to invest in Vermont real
estate to know that land values here
are rising and are in fact over one
third greater now than they were 20
years ago.
the assessed value of real estate was:
In 1880, S70,436,623.
In 1890, s112,S95,125.
In 1900, s11S,950.024.
The increase has been slower, appar-
emily, in the last decade, but this is
very likely due in large part to the i'm
projections of the census of 1880.
A part of this increase in real es-
tate values is due to the increase of
manufacturers. but not all. And it
is fairly safe to say that land on the
whole is increasing in value.
This can be inferred perhaps also
from a study of Vermont's chief in
dustries. These are classified in the
census as follows:
l Cheese. butter, condensed milk,
etc.
Flour etc.
8 Foundry products.
Hosiery and knit goods.
) Lumber.
Lumber products.
Marble, granite, etc.
Monuments and tombstones.
9 Paper
10 Wool manufactures.
Now of these ten manufactures only
two. viz. dairy products and monu-
ments and tombstones, have increased
very much in the last decade:
1890 1900
Dairy products ..s1,602,641 s5.656.2S5
and
tombstones ..- 1.492.SS9 4.0S5,611
The dairy industry thus not only
leads in actual value, but it has in
creased four millions in the last ten
years. which means an increase in
value of cows and of the land on
which the cows must be fed.-Wood-
stock Age.
