THE STORY or A

A Soldiers Sacrifice For the
Woman He Loved.

A generation ago while travelling l

small town. In the morning after
breakfast to kill time strolled into
the country. Spring was coming on,
the sun was shining warm and bright.
the birds were singing and the buds
opening. Passing cemetery, turned
in at the open gate. In one corner n
man and boy of perhaps four years
of age were looking over group of
headstones OF uniform style. saun-
tered to where they were and saw at a
glance that they marked the graves of
soldiers who had died In Union armies
during the civil war. I spoke to the
man, asking for information, and he
told me that the spot had been set
apart by the authorities and as many
bodies of the country's soldier boys as
possible brought back and Inferred
there.
There's Jack Kilburn," he said.

Rsmbrallndt,a Home.

Within a short time Amsterdam will
possess new attraction to lovers of
art. The house where Rembrandt lived
from 1880 to 1858 and where he passed
the most happy years Of his married
life with Sasha van Uilenburg. Is be-
ing restored and arranged as small
Rembrandt museum. The historical
building, long much neglected. became
the property some time ago Of so
ctety. and is now being restored under
the direction of famous architect.
One would have gladly seen the house
restored as 1t was when Rembrandt
inhabited 1t, but that could not he. as
It was quite impossible to obtain again
all the works Of art which It once con.
tained. and thus 1t is now arranged as
a small museum, where chiefly etch.
ings and drawings, about seventy In
all, by the great painter viii be on

Vermont as a Grain Growing
State.
State.

A recent number of the esteemed
Crop Reporters monthly publication
of interesting statistics issued by the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington, is appreciatively reviewed by
the Vermont bureau of publicity,
and it should have wide circulation
in this state. The Reporter is an
unquestioned authority and its fig
ures show that in the yield per acre
of staple crops Vermont surpasses
most of the great agricultural states
of the west.
The facts are surprising and pleas
ing, and, though not new to every
body perhaps, il is we'll to mention
some things about what can can be
and is done on. Vermont soil and Of
the wealth going to waste in "aban-
doned farms"-if there are any that
come properly under that classified
ton.
Vermont dosen't compete with the
great Western states In the size of
her crops, taking corn, for instance.
Only four states in the Union raised
more corn per acre in 1910 than this
state, which seems to have something
besides rocks. Vermont raised
1881, 900 bushels last year, Colorado
2,846, 900 bushels, but Vermont har-

FIRST AERIAL POST.

IL Was Only an Exhibition Experiment,
but II Was a Success.
Among the letters which recently
reached England by the Indian mail
from Bombay were several from ALA
habad bearing a. new postmark. which
may become historic. The postmark
represents an aeroplane flying over a
range of mountains and bears the In
scription First Aerial Post, q. P. Tx
hibition, Allahabad, 1911" The ex-
PLANTATION of this postmark is that
the Indian postal authorities recently
granted permission to Captain Wind
ham to establish an aerial post in con-
nection with the United Province ex-
hibition at Allahabad for the purpose
of demonstrating the possibilities of
an aerial service for the use Of a be-
leaguered town.
The arrangements were under the
personal supervision Of the postmaster
general Of the United Provinces, and
only letters and postcards were allow
ed In this special delivery. The postal
authorities would not agree to an In
crease IN the actual cost Of delivery,
but the letters to be forwarded by aero
plane were sent under special cover to
Allahabad with an extra fee of an-
mas, which was devoted to the funds
for the new. buildings Of the Oxford
and Cambridge hotel at Allahabad.
The mail was duly carried by aero
plane from the exhibition grounds to
Allahabad postofice and was there
distributed, and to mark the event a
special die was cast In the postal work
shops at Aligarh.- New York Post.

vested her corn from $1,000 acres
while Colorado planted l43,000
acres. And Vermont's corn brought
good price, GO cents per bushel.
nearly double that of the banner
state, Illinois, 38 cents.
Only five states exceeded YER
mont's yield of oats per acre last
year, and her record for per acre
yield of barley is surpassed by only
six states, where irrigation has
made possible the cultivation of soil
untitled for centuries.
Vermont is also very strong on
buckwheat for pancakes. Only two
states beat her in bushels per acre.
Vermont planted only 1000 acres
of wheat last year, but only one state
harvested more bushels to the acre,
our record being 20 bushels
nearly six times as large as North
Dakota's yield.
Vermont stands pretty we'll as a
potato growing state, also, and along
the White River there is soil which
experts declare to be every bit as
good as that of Aroostook county,
Maine. Last fall the White River
Railroad Company awarded several
prizes in potato growing contest
end the winner of the first prize
raised 1914 bushels per acre, which
is more than twice the average yield
in Maine.
So in smaller way as to acreage
Vermont leads the country as grain
producer, and with the most mod
ern methods of seed selection, fertil-
izatioE and cultivation the yield
would be largely increased. All this
is something to brag about. The
talk about worn-out soil is effectively
answered by these figures, and there
should be little fear for the future OF
agriculture in Vermont.

A SONG TO SPRING.

I want to sing a song Of spring.
But different from the usual thing
Free from the usual rhyming attitude
or vernal gush and fiowery platitude-
A song that will voice In fluent meter
The woes Of the man with the heatiess
heateri
I want to sing o song TO spring
That will give the pentup thought fling
or the man who. biceped like a gladiator.
Has been battling with q heatiess radi-
ator;
A song that will ease tho fretted soul
OF the man a-weary OF Bhoveling coali
want to sing a song of spring
That will tell with the usual melodic swing
The tale Of tho woes and properly list 'em
OF the man who's been up against a "sys-
tenn"
And hiking coal till his lungs were wheez-
ing
To keep the pipes of the thing from freeE-
ingi
1 want to sing a song to spring
Endowed with the requisite note Of ''ciing''
To express tho relief this mortal Is feeling
At the thought that his coils have ceased
And the fancy. Rugged with a srasituds
That he's done for q time with the task OF
shoveling!
Oh. this Ia the song that ia like to sing
To the gay. the gladstone. the joyous
spring
The subtle. intense, earth wide elation
or the chap released for a brief vacation
From that dark device of the fiends Of
That ''radf' that WIN not radiatei

THE ROOSEVELT DAM.
One Of tho Remarkable EnslneerIns
M Faata Of the Age.

One Of tho Remarkable Engineering
Feata Of the Age.
The Roosevelt dam. In Arizona, the
most important masonry structure yet
undertaken by the reclamation service.
was formally dedicated on the after
noon OF March Is by former President
Theodore Roosevelt I'm the presence OF
the prominent territorial officers, the
government engineers and citizens
from all parts OF the southwest.
This dam IL one OF the most impress
sive irrigation structures In the world.
and its construction is one of the
great engineering feats Of the age.
From foundation rock to top OF para
pet walls 1t is 2s4 feet high, its length
on crest is 1880 feet, and its cubical
contents are $4,000 yards. Its base
covers approximately an acre Of
ground. The first stone was laid on
Sept. 20, 1905. and the structure was
finally completed on FEB. 8. 1911.
The Roosevelt dam serves a dual
purpose-first as q conserver OF floods
and, second. to develop power The
storage reservoir created by the dam
ia one OF the largest artificial bodies
OF water in the world. Spread out a
foot deep. It would more than cover
the entire state of Delaware.
With the water supply now guaran-
teed by the Roosevelt reservoir near
ly quarter Of million acres viii
soon be in cultivation. The annual
income from this land when fully de-
veloped will be greater than the en-
tire cost Of the whole project. which
is estimated at approximately $9Oo0,-
900. SO rich Is the soil and so assured
and abundant are the crops, It is con-
sentative to estimate that the irrtga-
BILE area Is capable Of supporting In
comfort and in homes of their own
not less than 1900 families on the
farms.--American Review Of Reviews.
