They say McCabe is dead. No-such as he
Possess a two-fold immortality
Dwelling in light, where angels sing and
soar,
And in the hearts of men forevermore.
His face is white? Hands folded on his
breast?
He must be weary, and is taking rest!
He lives in deeds he wrought, in words
The songs he sang-oh, no, he is not
He lives-as lives the sunshine and the
rain
In flowers, in fruitage and the golden
grain;
He passed, and has been passing, year by
Into the nations life a voice of cheer,
Into the church's heart, like light, per-
fume,
A tongue Of fire flashed from the Upper
Room.
Long as the nation lives, the church
shall be,
His heart throbs will be felt from sea to
sea.
Oh, how we loved him. wondering as he
spake,
How great soul the blessed God could
make;
And when he sang it seemed as though
the tongue
Of some rapt angel measure sung.
And he Is dead All, they die not who live
Themselves in daily sacrifice to give,
But broken, like a vase with rich
perfumes,
sweoten forever all earth's splendid
rooms
He was a lover, to his nation gave

Bradstreets Report on Business in YER
mont

Bradstreets report regarding Vermont
affairs shows prosperous conditions in all
lines of industry during the year 1906.
The holiday trade this year was very
large, weather conditions were such as to
materially assist in the sale Of stocks.
The year closed has shown the largest
sale of manufactured stock and a larger
general business than has been known in
the state for years The demand for more
skilled labor has constantly been heard
during the year and because of lack OF
labor manufacturers have been handicap
ped in doing all they wanted to, but volume
has been very large. Not only have the cities
noted an increase in population but the
smaller towns have shared as well in the
prosperous conditions. The farmers har-
vested good crops and are receiving an in
crease in prices for the same. One of
the many indicators of the prosperous
conditions is the large amount of building
that has been done. Approximately over
two millions Of dollars have been used in
this manner, an increase Of over a quarter
of a million dollars over amount done
in same places during 1905.
