probably damaged beyond repair. a
/ wreeking crew was engaged several days
I last week in taking the engine to pieces
( for removal.
Mr.. Roundy thinks considerable blame
! attaches to Mr.. Mayo, as, il the latter had
kept his pasture smoother, the engine
would probably have kept right side up
clear to the highway and could then have
easily been taken down to the main line OF
the Central Vermont. In fact, the point
where the engine stopped was consider
ably nearer the main tnan the branch line.
The Late Mrs. George H.tTupper. 7
II is seldom that a greater shock is suf-
fered by any community than was the ex-
perience OF this village upon the an
nouncement Of the sudden passing away
Of Mrs. George II. Upper on Wednesday
of last week
While we appreciate the fact that words
are valueless at such a time as this, and
know that the life and memory OF one
who has passed to the other side is the
most eloquent eutOgy that can be given,
yet il is the natural impulse Of those who
have known and loved dear one, to ex-
press their appreciation OF that life as best
they can.
The world never yet has discovered a
nobler, more divine mission for woman
than that of wife and mother To fulfill
tine duties OF TINS position - ilit'H ltTBtsl
privilege and most sacred duty. No wom-
an ever took up the duties of wife and
mother with more perfect cheerfulness or
larger conservation than did Mrs. George
III. Upper. Her home was in truth her
kingdom; her life was one OF sacrifice and
devotion to those who had been entrusted
TO her care; her happiness was found in
the happiness OF those she loved, and her
most perfect proof OF life's duties done is
in those four young lives, JOY to the par
ents' hearts, a strength to the community
1t is enough to say OF any life.
And to those who remain here and who
mourn the passing OF wife and mother,
there is just word to say. Love so strong
cannot be lost in the passing of the physi-
cal body Such love is spiritual and is
forever. The wiie's devotion and the
mothers love are lasting as Gods world of
love. The husband and the children shall
know of its presence in their lives, shall
feel the immortal bond which unites the
children Of God, IN whatever world may
be our dwelling place. There is no sepa-
ration, there is no loss or death to those
who love, for love rises triumphant be-
yond the power Of death or of the grave to
destroy or injure it.
The funeral services were held at the
home on Saturday morning and were con-

tween the elbow and wrist. The un-
fortunate man was able to. leave for
his home and DIR: Retersonwas called,

Fire Escapes.

The recent destructive fire at the
West Hotel at Minneapolis, has re-
vived public interest in the question
of fire escapes on hotels and .other
public buildings. A friend suggests
to the TRIBUNE that the matter of fire
escapes and fire drills in the public
school buildings are not. kept up as
they should be. The fire drill is al
ways considered Of: the greatest i'm
portance in the larger cities, and there
is no reason why it should not be OF
an equal Importance in all smaller
cities and towns possessing school
houses more than one or two stories
in height.
