HINSDALE, N. H.
Death Of Benjamin Vlgneau.

Benjamin Vigneau, 20, died Sunday Mr.
Nigneau had been great sufferer from
during which time there were periods
when his condition was critical. The
end, however, came suddenly Sunday.
Mr.. Nigneau was born in ST. Leonard,
p. O., but had been a resident of Hins-
dale the past % years. He was a har-
ness maker and cobbler, and conducted a
shop where he worked at his trade and
was ever pleasant and obliging to his
customers. He is survived by a wife and
one son, Charles w. Vigneau, also three
brothers, Peter, OF Winchester, Albert, of
Maine, and Dennis, of Canada, and two
sisters, Miss Phillomene Vigneau of ST.

Our mountains form one of our great
undeveloped resources. From their slopes

harvests of beauty, harvests that never
will impoversh the land, but rather
leave 1t richer as years pass. These
mountains will give comfort from the
heat of the cities, rest to the weary,
health to the sick and peace and quiet

tourists as that of the White Mountains

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Local securities were very dull yes
terday. At the meeting or the stock ex-
change at noon only about half the MEM
bers were present and these were not
anxious TO trade apparently. Small trad
ing in bonds followed the opening, in
which Washington Railway is and Po-
tomac Electric Consolidated 5s figured.
In the stock deals a few shares of Rail-
way common brought SO. and a larger
number of the preferred shares sold for
81. Bank shares, except United States
Trust and Union Trust were neglected.
The output Of bonds. notes, and stocks
Ia the United States during the first
quarter of 1870 according to the Journal
Of Commerce. has reached the enormous
total of 1914. 7SS. 765. against $685.. S7e, $50
last year, an increase of $3.50. O96. ss5.
March alone contributed the extraordi-
nary figure Of $780, .7e5, whereas in the
same month Of last year the total was
only S75.225.4 400, the increase having been
thus ss04, s4S. $50.
A considerable percentage represents re-
funding. The two conspicuous features
we're the huge offering of railroad bonds
and the resumption of borrowing by
means OF short-term notes. a form of
financing that had not previously been
necessary on any large scale since the
panic.

A QUEER COFFIN
(New York Heraldl

Perhaps the most singular coffin in
which human being ever was buried
is the one of which the following story
is told:
A workman engaged in casting met
al for the manufacture of ordnance in
the Woolwich arsenal, in England, lost
his balance and fell into caldron con-
tanning twelve tons of molten steel,
The metal was at white heat, and the
man was utterly consumed in less
time than it takes to tell it.
The War Office authorities held a
conference and decided not to pro-
fame the dead by using the metal in
the manufacture of ordnance, and the
mass of metal was actually buried
and Church of England clergyman
read the services for the dead over it.

EARLY MARRIAGES

= Il #@ ~ y X X = - - II
A New York Judge who is COM
PEELED to hear the grievances of many
married couples, has reached the con-
clusion that much misery would be
spared the community if marriages
did not take place until the man was
old enough to know and realize the
seriousness of the married state. He
goes farther than most sociologists
who studied the subject, by express
ing the opinion that law fixing the
age of marriage would be good
thing.
The easiest thing in the world is to
dogmatize about marriage. 1t would
not surprise us if someone, say, next
week, seriously contended that people
do not marry young enough.
Romeo and Juliet, if they had mar
ried, might have tired of each other,
and then their parents would have
said, 1--WE told you So" If Nine. Re-
camier at 75 or thereabouts had mar
ried Chateaubriand, who was 80 as he
besought her to do, they might have
been happy. Bill Nye thought man
| would not be competent to become a
journalist until he was about 80, and
then only after long study of the
subject. Marriage also may require
long apprenticeship.
But there have been many happy
marriages of young couples, that is,
if people at 1S and 81 are young, and
there also have been many unhappy
marriages at those ages. Likewise,
there have been many unhappy mar
riages between persons of mature
years.
Men and women expect perfection
in marriage. Their house may have
defects in it, their horse may go lame,
their crops may fail, or money become
tight, and they will show some forti-
tude. They expect such things in this
sphere of vicissitudes.
But when 1t comes to marriage,
not for moment will they endure a
flaw in it. If the fair brow of Helen
turns out to have an Egyptian hue to
| it, the groom will scowl; and as for
his wife, she will be disconsolate if
she discovers in her husband weak
nesses which are almost inseparate
from human nature.
The romancers and the poets are to
blame for this. They teach youth to
expect absolutely perfect bliss in the
matrimonial state.
That some persons marry when too
young is true. That some marry when
too old is also true. Therefore it
would be absurd to prevent by law a
young couple from marrying just be-
cause they are not 40. And no one
should think of prohibiting the mar
riage Of couples who have arrived at
the age of, say, 90.-Boston Globe.
