MIRACLE BURIAL VAULT

CONCRETE is used for many
- purposes, but it is the ma
terial of all materials for
burial lots. Sectional stone, slate
and steel vaults all answer a
purpose, but let us consider the
advantages and disadvantages
of the several kinds of vaults.
In using a sectional vault the
grave must be dug ten to twelve
inches larger than necessary in
order to give room for workmer
to cement the joints and make
them tight. You have from
eight to twenty joints to seal.

the snow of old age--only the frost
OF middle life--upon the head OF Will
lam Pierce Frye To look at him
from the Senate gallery you would
not ratio him Jot above sixty. Nor
is his small stature apparent until
you actually compare him with other
man standing near him. The great
depth and volume of his voice. the
ruggedness OF HIS frame and features
and the generous size OF his head
gives the illusion that he is above the
average stature.
His deep forehead shelves out into
great arbital prominences which, with
their bushy-almost ferce-brows, with
deep frown-furrows between. give an
expression OF auster!ty. His nose is
prominent, broad and combauve and
his long upper lip is covered by stub
BILE Of gray. while his mouth is deter
mined and his chin heavily knobbed.
1t is the face of a soldier, a mien
nrm. yet kindly, one which would for
bid familiarity from men. yet invite
the confidence of little children-a rare
combination.
Such is the exterior of the man who
has. long been recognized as the most
skifful parliamentarian upon the Re-
publican side of the Senate. AS a re-
suit of this mastery. he has been prest-

Aldrich was promoted from the House
to the Senate in less than seven months
after Frye's elevation. But the new
Maine senator's rise was the more rap
ia at first. He had been in the Senate
but two years when the work of revis-
ing the rules was intrusted to him.
and the present code governing debates
in the Senate is largely his work. For
six years he was chairman OF the rules

copied the premiership of the Mckinley
Cabinet Senator Frye was offered his
place as chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, which approves the
Presidents treaties with foreign pow

ferred to retain the Craftsmanship of the
committee on commerce, the largest

The House soon felt the presence OF
the new Maine member upon the floor.
Early in his career he was made chair

served also on the judiciary and ways

of the executive committee. On the
floor he made such mark as skill

Garfield was inaugurated, March 4,

State. So Maine had to choose another
new senator. But it was not long IN
the choosing. Frye had long been

Plumed Knight, whom he had succeed
