Starkville, Miss Dec. 5.-Not wish

than was given her notorious son,
Rube Burrows, the famous train BAN
dit, Mrs. Martha Burrows was laid to
rest Sunday in a plain pine board cor
fin. Burial was made in lonely GEM
etery near Sulligent, Ala, just across
the Mississippi-A Alabama line not far
from this city, in the community
where she has lived for years. Hun
dreds from the surrounding country
who loved and respected the aged wo-
man and who sympathized with her
because of her great sorrow over her
wayward son and his tragic end, gath
cred about the grave to hear the sim
pie service.
1t is said that only her faith In
Christian Science sustained her, and
is all that kept grief from killing hel
years ago.

1.-THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN"

The term DRY Cleaning" is often
misconstrued. Many believe Dry
Cleaning" to imply the mere removal
of individual spots by local treat
ment; and indeed this belief has been
given birth by the hundreds of press
ing clubs" clothes pressers, tailor
shops, ETC., whose most valuable asset
is a sign in the front door Illustrating
that Dry Cleaning" is done within.
1t may be a surprise to many to
learn that a thoroughly equipped Dry
Cleaning" plant often removes as
much as a small tea cup full of dirt
and grease from a single suit of
clothes.
This is absolute insurance against
spots re-appearing and ample assur-
ance of your clothes having been thor
oughly disinfected.
Don't risk expensive suits or gar
ments with inexperienced cleaners-to
do so may result in their ruin.
1t costs no more to send them to us
!, and you run no risk.

chronic appendicitis, which is not very

Objections to the commerce court, in
the Judgment of Mr.. Wickersham,
would be met by legislation requiring
the interstate commerce commission to

viding that all finding Of fact and con-

limiting court review exclusively to

AS a result of the decision of the
supreme court holding that the COM

law be amended so that the Commerce
Court will have jurisdiction to review

now has power to review orders grant

Late she idled without measure,
" Doing nothing much at all;
Nov she seems to find some pleasure
Working at a dolly small,
Or she trims a neckpiece neatly,
Or she knits yard of lace,
Answering all questions sweetly-
ooh, they won't be out of place"
Something she is making over
Till it bears look that's new;
l can see a table cover,
Change as she would have it do
She will rip and put together
Till it suits her; then she'll smile,
Thinking of the changing weather.
Twill come handy after while"
Something she is always doing;
Not by one task she's appeased'
Some strange end she's still pursuing
And bv it she seems well pleased.
So her actions keep me guessing
Till her tired voice hear;
oWem,I know one certain blessing
Z : Christmas comes but once year!

innings he held Brooklyn to five hits,
and he handled five fielding chances
without an error. In two times at hat
he made one hit.

President Charles w. Eliot has said
that every one ought to enjoy his
work. A recent newspaper editorial
on the other hand, affirms that only a
Few enjoy their work, that few at the
other end of the scale detest their
work, and that the great majority of
men and women merely accept II as a
daily necessity. Here is the old world
division OF freemen, mercenaries and
slaves. Mankind ought to do better
than this. Our religion is good to tea CHI
us TO be freemen. We are freemen II
we do what We like to do. We like
to do what we can do well; that is,
what draws out and exercises our DOW
ers. We like to do what calls for our
humanity. We like to be useful. Any
one is glad If he thinks he is working

saved ran up the cost of production, and
for many years II was almost impos-
sble for the Vermont producer to COM
pete with the cheap labor employed in
the Italian quarries, Notwithstanding the
ocean freights.
The first invention of benefit to the
Vermont marble industry was the steam
drill. Then, instead of drilling the holes
by hand, the holes were drilled by a
steam drill. The drill was crude and far
from perfect but it saved time, and the
quarries began to reap proht. The one
element that was serious propiem was
to reduce the percentage OF waste. AS
the years passed the necessity for elm
mating the wasteful method became
more acute, and again Yankee inven-
ton was brought out, the marble borer.
The inventor conceived the idea or
building several drills in one, and instead
of drilling one hole at time and blast
ing out the marble the idea was to
drill several h6lSs close together all at
one time, with the result that there was
almost continuous cut, and the marble
broke easily into square blocks.
As the demand for Vermont marble
Increased, new deposits were found and
new quarries x1eRe opened. At the pre-
sent time the marble belt is clearly de-
fined in limit Sieploeists have determin-
ed that the. Vermont marble belt con-
tains three principal bodies or veins
abe West RutlaR, producing the more
highly colored decorative marbles; the
Columbian and the Sutherland Falls, the
last two producing the variegated light
cloud marble so largely used for monu-
ments, interior and exterior building
work. floor thing, etc. This marble belt
extends from Charlotte, near Burlington,
on the north down to the southern part
of Dorset on; the south, distance of
about 80 miles. with an average width of
about four miles! While blue marble is
| plentiful in Vermont, 1t is singular that
the bulk of the production comes from
a small area almost in the geographical
centre of the marble belt. with no IN
| dication of any considerable quantity OF
blue marble at any other point in the
| state
| Rutland is the centre of the Vermont
marble industry. Marble Is evident In

of blue, and a wide range of light,
medium and dark clouded marbles, many
OF them very similar in veining and
texture to the finest Italian marbles.
The fact is pointed out with PRIDE oy
the Vermonter that marble from the
Columbian quarry was awarded the
Grand PriX at the Paris Exposition in
1900, in direct competition with all of the
foremost marbles of the world, including
Italian marbles.
Vermont marble has been used in the
new city hall at Portland, Me-, the New
England Conservatory of Music Harvard
Medical School. Majestic Theatre, TreA
mont Theatre, Hotel Touraine, Exchange
building, Boston post Office, State House,
Shawmut Bank building, etc, in Boston;
City library and new municipal building
in Springfield, Union station in worces-
ter and, as matter of fact, Vermont
marble has been used in some form in
practically every large building of i'm
portance erected in recent years in New
England.
Many interesting stories could be told
OF the fortunes made in the Vermont
marble industry-of the HOLSTER broth
ers, who bought a farm for sl6b00, found
marble, opened a quarry and sold their
property for $4,000; of marble COM
pany originally formed by the towns
people in Brandon with total paid in
capital of $4,000, which after few years
OF successful operation and large divi-
dends, sold their property for $685.
to one of the larger companies, and the
purchaser having the purchase price re-
turned in IL months from the profits of
| operation; of a quarry that was pur-
chased in 1905 ataWest Rutland for $500
| by travelling salesman, who has since
| refused an offer for the property of $780,
| 900. These are few instances, but any
| resident in the Vermont marble industry
will tell you nnumerable others, and up
| in Vermont they still adhere to the OLD.
| Pilgrim policy of telling the truth. A.
| the Vermonter sees so much marble on
| all sides that he thinks OF 1t only as
mere commodity. and 1t really requires
an outsider to appreciate the tremendous
| importance among New England indus
| tries of the Vermont marble business
