There is a great war in the Old World,

parted from this life March IL, 1915,
aged "a years and six months. From
infancy his life has been spent in Corn
wall and Leicester, coming to the latter
place when ten years of age. He at
tended the public schools in his native
towns and proved himself a good stu
dent. He earnestly applied himself to
farm work and was very proficient He
was young man of amiable disposition,
and under every condition manifested
nothing but love for his fellowmen To
know him was to love him. Left mother
less at the age of six years, his father
and grandmother made home for the
two young children. A few years later
the grandmother was called home and
the father alone proved a true parent to
his girl and boy Four years ago the
sister babe farewell to the dear ones
and to life here. Since that time father
and son were inseparable. After an i'll
ness of less than three days duration
from aortic reorganization he called
for his father as last farewell and then
sustained by an unfaltering hand APP
preached death.
Services were held from his late home
Sunday afternoon, the 18th, by the Rev.

very large and the floral emblems many
and of great beauty. Rev. and Mrs.
Thatcher sang Beautiful Isle of Some
where" and Looking This Way.
Burial was had in the Brookside Gene
terry. The pail bearers were his cousins,
Noble H. Jennings, Ray Howard Cole,

not forgotten.
Farewell, dear one, until that day

That he is dead, he is just away,
With CHEEKY smile and wave of his
hand
| He has wandered into an unknown land,
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be since he fingers there,
And you, oh father, who the widest
yearn
For the old time step and the glad re-
turn.

May Irwin in a New Play

The pleasing announcement Is made
that Miss May Irwin, undoubtedly the
most popular Coincidence on the Amer
lean stage, will appear at the. playhouse,
Rutland, on Saturday April 18th, and
will offer new play called mo. -
Washington square, a dramatization
of the book of the same name by Leroy
Scott.
As a novel "No 13 Washington
Square" has been tremendously sue
cessful and those who have read it will
have few misgivings as to the fact tn at
it should make a capital vehicle for eX-
plotting Miss Twins talents at fun
making. Mr.. Scott himself has turned
his book into play form and it is believed
that he has been equally successful in
preserving the amusing qualities that
made his work so popular with the
great reading public.
A most ingenious idea it was of the
author to make the society leader and
her confidential servant prisoners in the
stately old mansion in New York's old
exclusive settlement while they are
supposed to be on their annual European
pilgrimage, and the complications that
arise over this strange proceeding are
most attractive for the purpose of the
playwright.
The character of Matilda, the con-
fdential maid of the society leader has
been elaborated in the play form of
"No. 10 Washington Square and is the
one which Miss Irwin herself elected to
portray. All the characters are i'm
portant and cast of unusual ability
has been engaged by the comedienne
who is again as in times past her own
manager.
After short tour of importantcities
Miss Irwin will be seen in New York in
mo. l3 Washington Square. " Rutland
is the only city in Vermont in which
Miss Irwin will appear. adv.

The Treasure Of the klnn,

The Treasure Of the King.
In hisYroom, deep within the palace.
King Michael was beginning. for the
first time, to recover from his alco-
holic stupor. He had known nothing
of the stirring events of these last
days. He accosted those about him
with the irritability Of shattered
nerves.
Frederick, where is he? What. he
has deserted me? And Sachio-l want
ssachio Of Grahoffen and another man.
What was the name Of the fellow with
him? sent them for another bottle
or SO Of wine. That was ten minutes
ago, 4 tell you-at least ten minutes.
and they have not returned. Is that
the way to use a king? My head
fellow, send to me my physician at
aonce.r ~
Deep within that chamber of hor.
rors which before now had smitten
the souls of both with terror. two per.
sons were bending over in the light OF
the candles, which gave faint illumi-
nation.
1t is here" said Count Frederick,
glancing at the little compass which
he, had brought him. THE northeast
lies there-it is yonder, where sits
yonder skeleton in the iron chair!
That was. the last guard OF the king"
What shall We DOR gasped Kitty
Gray! 81 dare not"
Nonsense, my dear. Fcar?-why
should we feel fear? Yonder friend
OF ours has kept the place we'll and
safely-seated there in his iron chair
waiting SO long-for us!"
he laid a hand on the grinning
guest in the iron chair. The bony
frame was confined upright by metal
bands which supported It. He found
the ancient chair heavy to move, but
applying his great strength, at length.
gently as he could, he shifted It to
one side. On the floor OF the cham.
Der, formerly beneath the iron chair,
there showed dimly In tho dust. the
outline ola steel plate, an iron ring
welded to its center. Count Frederick
pointed. sThis is the place." said he,
with conviction. 1T was guarded
well! See here-I doubt not this is
the lid which covers what is below"
Yet even his strength failed to re.
move. the covering. he found at last
q part OF an old bar. pushed II through
the ring and put his strength to It. A
faint dust arose. the lid yielded slow.
