Mrs. Amable Lawrence

Mrs. Amable Lawrence died at her
home in North Bennington Thursday
evening, January Goth. Mrs. Law
renee, whose maiden name was Mary
Sophronia Malboeuf, was born in st.
Alexander, Canada, March 10, 1876.
She was married twice. her first
husband being, Paul Odette. Four
years after his death she married Mr..
Lawrence, who survives her.
One son was born to them but died
in infancy She also leaves one
brother, Alex. Malboeuf, two nieces
and three nephews, all of Holyoke.
Mass. Mrs. Lawrence led very qui-
ct life but the influence of her sim
cere Christian character was felt by
all who knew her.
For years she bore with wonderful
courage a disease which would have
made life only a burden to most peo-
pie. During the past year she has
been almost constantly confined to the
bed. Yet no complaint has ever pass
ed her lips.
Scarcely a day passed that she did
not express in some way her implicit
faith in Gods love and wisdom, and
her gratitude to the earthly friends,
who were so bountifully supplying
every need.
Mrs. Lawrence left few near rela'
tives, but many friends will cherish
a loving memory Of her whose consis'
tent Christian life was an example to
all.

HOW ROOSEVELT SETTLED
Text of Letter That Led Governor
Baldwin to Abandon Suit

New York, Jan. 2S.-The Outlook
will publish this week the letter of
Theodore Roosevelt to Governor Bald
win of Connecticut on the strength of
which the governor abandoned his ex-
pressed intention of suing the colonel
for libel. In the last campaign Col
onel Roosevelt attacked Judge Bald
win for decision in a labor case. AT
ter the election, Governor Baldwin
wrote to Mr.. Roosevelt, suggesting
that they settle their differences with
out the publicity incident to an action
at law, by submitting the question at
issue to some judge or lawyer.
Mr.. Roosevelt declined. Governor
Baldwin then submitted a draft OF
what he would consider a satisfactory
apology. The colonel rejected it, sub
hitting a counter proposal which the
governor in turn rejected. Then fol
lowed the letter shortly TO be publish.
ed, on receipt OF which Governor Bald
win announced that, although he still
held that there was an issue as tc
the facts and the law, he had become
convinced Of the sincerity of Colonel
Roosevelt and would not proceed
against him.
IF the letters which sent to you,
wrote the colonel, and in which
quoted your exact language and added
my comments are libellous, then
every labor leader who ventures to
agitate for reform in accident law is
also in danger OF libel, and every man
who In an efficient and effective, in
for reform, will be in very real dan

KILLING GREY SQUIRRELS
New City Council to Be Asked to
Stop the Slaughter

Montpelier, Jan. 29.-One OF the
first things to come before the new
City Council will be a bill for an or
dinance to prohibit the killing of
grey squirrels and probably some
other animals within the city limits.
There is at present a close season
on squirrels for most of the year,
but the law seems to have become al
most a dead letter in Montpelier at
least
Grey squirrels are becoming num-
erous in parts of the city that lie
near the woods and the residents of
those sections are anxious to have
them protected. Several written and
telephone requests have been made
to City Clerk T. r. Merrill to bring
the matter to the attention of the
council and he did so at the meeting
Wednesday night.
No action was taken at the time,
but 1t seemed to be the sentiment Of
the board that something should be
done, as small boys with air guns and
20 calibre rifles are playing havoc
with the squirrels wherever they
show themselves. These youngsters
are liable to fine for each animal
shot and their parents should look af-
ter them, as the matter will not be
allowed to drop.

AIMED AT ENEMIES
Secretary BallIneer Also Defended
Himself Thursday Night

Boston, Jan. 2S-Aiming blow at
his enemies and declaring that the
endeavor OF many earnest advocates
OF reform and progress OF the present
day seemed TO be to haul everything
out of the roots and keep the roots
exposed, Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger, In a speech before the ban
quet of the alumni of Williams Col
lege here Thursday night, emphasized
the point that a good man could not
be pulled down and that the work OF
the heads and hands of good men
would be steadier because OF the
shocks Of battle.
II hear | have enemies In Boston,
declared Secretary Ballinger. We'll,
no matter, they, like my other enem-
les, are probably too incorrlgible to
warrant my embiteting my temper
over the wrong they have done me.
and II is indeicate for me TO exhibit
my scars to you on a festive occasion.
IL am no pessimlst, but am old fash
Toned enough to believe In the insti-
tutlons of our fathers and that they
will be preserved, Notwithstanding
new tangled ideas OF government or
the flaming fanatlclsm Of crusaders.
One would suppose. with our opportu.
mites of culture, refinement and gen.
eral education that stability in all
things would be the order of the day
but the contrary is most evident, TO
haul everything out by the roots and
keep the roots exposed seems to be
the aim OF many earnest advocates
Of reform and progress, but most men
/ am sure, enjoy the distinction OF
being upbuilders rather than uplifters
They like to rear and leave behind
them monuments and structures OF
genuine accomplishments. II is so
much easier to- pull things up by the
roots than to await the slow process
OF nature In its evolution OF producing
fruit"
