UNCLE SANS TOMBSTONES,
All Come From Vermont and Mas
sschusetts.

At Lee, in Berkshire county, Mass,
there are being turned out under govern
ment supervision $50 headstones week
to mark graves of soldiers, sailors, ma
rines, scouts, nurses or others who have
served regular enlistment in the mill
tary or the naval service of the United
States.
On the grounds at the Lee and Rutland
quarres the stone is polished, marked
and Grated. Twenty men are employed
the year around in polishing and marking
headstones for the nations dead. Twice
year the government receives bids, and
the contract is let to the lowest bidder.
These tombstones are furnished free by
the government and are sent out on APP
plication of relative, a member of the
Grand Army of the Republic or citi-
zen of the United States, who furnishes
the name of the dead soldier or sailor
and his regiment or ship.
On each is a sunken shield or wreath
and directly under this the name, the
rank and regiment of the dead soldier,
The headstones are then sent to Gistri-
button points, where they remain until
requisition is made for them by the war
department.
No headstones have been sent to the
Philippines up to this time, but applica-
tions for markers to be- sent to the new
ly acquired islands are coming in to the
government at the rate of 90 day. The
present capacity turning out the head
stones is about 40 day.

their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a

was common for mothers to make

Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so

all kinds so, if we but take the pains
to find them in the roots and herbs

All this 80 far was done freely, with

labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe

of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Thanksgiving Adjournme n t.

Montpelier, Nov. 20.-The Vermont
legislature has settled down to the con-
viction that it would be impossible to
complete the work of the session by
Thanksgiving and an adjournment is
probable Friday of this week until the
Tuesday following Thanksgiving day.
Today's business was important, includ-
ing the cattle commission, the represen-
tation of Vermont at the jamestown ex-
position, the reorganization of the judi
ciary and municipal suffrage for wom-
en-.
The Senate took no time to pass its
commissioner. The bill provides that
the governor shall appoint cattle COM
missioner for two years or other domes-
tic animals, other than horses, sheep and
swine not known or suspected to be
diseased shall be brought into the State
except by written permission of cattle
commissioner Cattle shall be placed i'll
quarantine. Condemned cattle shall be
appraised by two disinterested persons,
but appraisal shall not exceed 500 owner
to have GO per cent of the valuation. The
carcass of the slaughtered animal shall he
buried or destroyed by the owner on
the premises. The cattle Commissioners
shall receive 81 per day and his actual
expenses. Said commissioner shall keeE
a record and report to the governor
annually.
Municipal suffrage for women was
taken up in the Senate this afternoon or
"A favorable report from committee, the
bill has already passed the House
and the advocates of it had faith that il
would go through the upper branch Of
the assembly, although there was
opposition from some sources becaus,
of the limitations it imposes on the suf
frage they believed that if any suffrag,
is granted it be for all purposes. Thu
Senate chamber was crowded at 2:3(
today when the discussion opened.
At the same time in the House the
reorganization of the State judiciary
was the theme for discussion. The in
tent of the bill was explained to the far
mers' organization last night by j. F.
Cushman of Burlington, but when thu
proposed law came up this Afternoon
there was nevertheless an uncertainty o
position among the farmers of the House
The legal members were quite solid il
favor of the bill.
The House this forenoon voted to
third reading the bill appropriating $40,
600 foI Vermont exhibit at the James
town exposition. The bill was debate,
for some time, some members wanting t.
increase the appropriation. On tn
statement that the States finances woul,
not ALLOW larger appropriation, the bill
was passed to the third reading. Their
was sharp debate in the House owe
the bill to establish State fair, but
was finally passed. the vote being 10
for to SO against.

The Indispensable Man"

Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer, founder of the New
for employers: 1.-The indispensable man
is not numerous. Mr. Pulitzer's philos-
ophy is the outgrowth of his experience
for, in the making of The World, a
veritabe procession of brilliant men have
played their little parts and passed on
but the institution they have builded
ing quota of bright men who bring to
the market-place their ideals, their en-
husiams-themselve
Mr.. Pulitzer's epigram is pretty good
law for all business men. The employee
who has grown too big for the business
is never indispensable-bu certain quail
tiles and qualifications are Indispensable,
and these will be found in numerous
men. Often the very existence of bus
mess venture may depend upon the firm
ness with which an employer acts in
Kidding his business of the employees
who have become too self-important
The modern business man undertakes
reorganization now and then in self de
Tense; and he usually finds that a little
want advertising places him in touch
with score of men with the indispens
able qualities-and these approximate
closely enough to the indispensable
man.

Sweet JeLnifer came calling me
Along the shining beach.
"There's green upon the hawthorn

There's bloom upon the peach.
O, Apri's found the upland larch,
The haze in the hollow"
But louder was the snare.drum I'VE

And clearer called the bugle, "Will you

Young Jennifer came seeking me
With love upon her lips.

And fortune guard the ships.
The autumn winds have rent the larch,
The South has won the swallow
But clearer beat the snare-drum. with
its March, march, march,
And sweeter sang the bugle, Twill you

The Pennies in the Box.

Published by request OF a Mail Driver
Now begins the season
OF the mailmans discomfort,
or his haste to take the job, no doubt,
He'll many times repent.
Your jobs a snap the farmers say
When the summer breeZes blow.
It's "cold snap for the mailman
When it's forty degrees below.
He faces billiards, get stuck in drifts
Aud struggles with frozen locks,
But the greatest trial of carriers life
Is the pennies in the box.
When it SHOWS and blows the carrier
hands,
With the cold get stiff and numb.
Then it's quite trick to pick up a
cent,
With frozen finger and thumb.
And sometimes to express his feelings
New "cuss words he'll invent,
AS he shifts the snow in patrons box
In search of a missing cent.
1t gives his mouth that dark brown"
taste,
1t whitens his scanty locks,
This everlasting squabble
With pennies in the box
It's tho Ightlessness that causes
The mailman all this woe
Kinder people than his patrons
Are not found here below.
"When the roll is called up yonder"
They will surely all be there.
Perhaps the mailman may sneak in
If he's good and doesn't swear.
If you want st. Peter to open the gate
When your rural carrier knocks.
Please buy stamps instead of leaving
The pennies in the box.

All else is an unending level white

A cottage window flares with sudden

Ashamed of human kindliness, men go
With stolid faces set in rigid line,
