BARRE's BIG GRANITE PAYROLL

Those people who recall when the en-.
tire granite industry Of Barre was repre-.
sented by score or more OF men who
got the stone out Of the ground and
worked it into shape suited for the vari-
Gus purposes required viii marvel at the
figures which are presented in another
column to-day, setting forth the present
day statistics Of the same industry. The
few scores in the late 70's are now re.
placed by 1888 workmen in the various
branches Of the work from quarrying to
loading on the cars. The growth Of the
industry may be guaged BY those figures.
It makes probably the largest industry
in the state Of Vermont and one oil the
largest in New England. Certainly the
payroll 81 these three thousand, three
hundred and fifty eight men Is far ANA
away ahead Of anything received in this
state, for the granite cutters get mini
mum wage Of three dollars per day, and
the lowest paid in any branch Of the
industry get an average Of S2.0s per day.
Figuring the payroll on a conservative
basis. It shows that the annual wages
paid the Barre granite workers IS ap-
proximately S2,50o,0o0 There sre other
stone eenters which occasionally present
to Us in alluring colors a big contract
which they have secured. Bur where is
the town or city Of the same size as
Barre that can show an all-the-year.
around payroll to compare with two and
one-haif millions Of dollars The
figures given above both as to the num-
ber Of men employed and the wages
paid them are not estimates, but are
accurats statistics taken from the books
Of the various labor unions.

It Is unfortunately true that even a good man may be an ass. Inspired by an over-zealous religious enthusiasm, George W. Crabtree, missionary from Washington, D. C., armed himself with a paint-pot and brush, and be- smeared many rocks in the canyons near Manitou, Col. with religious maxims and precepts. The public in dignation which followed the act brought forth a confession from the evangelist, who declared his willing ness to correct his error by removing the unsightly signs.

 Tne Little Land League, nationa. organization under the auspices of many noted men Tn New York and other cities, Is devoted to a purpose which deserves the highest encourage, nent. It proposes not merely to cry, Back to the soil" but 10 aid strug. gling, destitute men and women to go to the land and earn a living there. The Little Land League says that when people begin to realize that, with 250 days work year, two acres will support an ordinary size family, and produce enough readily market able surplus to provide money for clothing and to keep the roof over their heads in good repair" there will be a movement back 10 the land. The statement as 10 the number of acres and the amount of labor Is no doubt the product of an intense enthusiasm. If the person has the skill and ex- perience of a successful market gar dener, or of Frenchman who has learned the secret of intensive culti- yation, two acres Is ample, but a city dweller, unacquainted with the secrets of the soil and the craft to produce growing things, is nearly helpless with a farm of either two acres or 200 acres. The function of the league Is to encourage unskilled men to make the attempt, 10 teach them and to pro- vide means whereby the step may be taken. IL is a splendid idea, and should enlist the support and aid of intelligent men and women. What could be a finer charity or, rather, work of real philanthropy than the founding of great farm school home with its surrounding collection of small homesteads. to be sold on easy terms to self-respecting men, willing and eager to make the effort to be- come independent and self-supporting In the country? Better than any sort of the charity which consists in giv. ing spasmodically a little help here and there to unknown men would be the serious effort to relieve the con- gested districts of great cities by turn. ing men back to the country and self. help and self-support.

VICTIM OF KNIFE
DIES OF WOUNDS
William Walsh, Stabbed in Quarrel
Over Pool Game i'm Moline,
GIVeS No Clew.

William Walsh. son of President
Walsh of the village board of Silvis,
died last night at the Moline city hos
pital as the result OF the wounds he
received last Thursday night when he
was stabbed by an unknown man after
the two had quarreled over a pool
game in the Brunswick billiard hall in
Moline. Walsh was thought to have
known who his assalant was, but he
denied that he knew the man, and
died without shedding much light OH
the affair. He. explained that they
quarreled over the game. Walsh was
about 81 years old. He was stabbed
in the left side with a pocket l.nife
and was nearly dead from loss Of blood
when surgical aid was secured for him
The knife penetrated the left lang
and just missed his heart
Coroner Rose this morning began
the inquest over the young mans re-
mains, but no new facts were brought
to light. The man who did the stab
bling made his escape, and the 30 ice
have no track of him, and his identity
is not known.

the SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard Of this
terrible disease? 1t prevails in that
tar-away country-Africa-esp
the Congo district. It is caused by
the bite of the tsetse fly. When 1t
bites q person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful.
oalmy sleep OF health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet. hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short Of letting the tsetse
dy bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent IT. Mr.. George Hayes. OF
Union City, Pa. writes: 81 had los,
my appetite. was all rundown, could
not sleep nights. I had tried every.
thing without relief. vinol was REQ
commended, and to my surprise. II
helped me at once; gave me splendid
appetite, and now sleep soundly."
What Vinol did for Mr.. Hayes, 1t will
do for every rundown. nervous and
ovsrworked person who cannot sleep

standing on the side porch of the house
at the time the lightning struck, but
none felt the effect of the shock. ~
though the bolt passed down the
water spout within few feet of them
Bricks, mortar and shingles were
showered down upon the roof of the
porch and thence into the yard, some
of the students barely escaping injury
