Mr.. and Mrs. Badger leave behind
a son, Henry |. Badger, and two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. r. c. Barnett and Mrs. H.
W. Wilder, all living in Vermont. The
following poem was read by request at
Mrs. Badgers funeral Those who
knew her feit that the words were very
appropriate in speaking of the one who
was gone.
Pale, withered hands that more than
four-score years
Had wrought for others; soothed the
hurt of tears,
Rocked children's cradles, eased :, the
fever's smart,
Dropped balm of love in many an ach-
ing heart,
Now stirless. folded re wan rose caves
DresseG
Above the snow and silence of her
oreast
in mute appeal they tell of abors done,
And well-earned rest that came at set
of sA.
From the worn brow the lines of care
are swept,
AS if an angels kiss the while she slept
Had smoothed the cobweo wrinkles
gu tie away
And given back the peace of childhood S
day;
And on the lips a smile as If she said:
"None know iife's secret but the happy
dead.
So, gazing where she les weknow that
pain
And parting cannot cleave her soul
again.
And we are sure that they who saw her
last
In that dim vista which we call the past
Who never knew her old and weary
eyed,
Remembering best the maiden and the
bride,
Have sprung to greet her with the old
en- speech
The dear, sweet names no later owe
can teach,
And Welcome Home " they cried and
grasped ner hands
So dwells the mother n the best

The PALMA Palm.

Though a Tmail poem enumerates
500 ways in which the Palmya palm
may be used, one of it's most interest
ing uses is the production Of a sugar
called jaggery. This is the result of
boiling down the fresh juice, and is
one of the chief sugars of south India.
Four or five quarts per tree per day
is the yield for four or five months
Once in every three years the sap
drawing process is omitted, as other
wise the tree would die. The tree
begins to yield at fifteen years and
continues for about fifty years. The
female tree yields about twice as
much sap as the male Three quarts
of this sap make one pound of sugar
or jaggery, which is the chief sugar
used by the poor classes of India.

Dignity of Manual Labor.

The trouble with most young men
is that they do not understand the
dignity of manual labor. They do not
realize that honors and fortune may
be more readily gained outside of the
so-called learned professions than in
them; and that it is just as honorable
to swing a hammer or to hold a plow
as it is TO make a speech in court or
to amputate limb. The lesson young
men should be taught as early as pos
sible is that it is not so much what
man does for a living as how he
does it, and that manual labor is as
honorable as any other.-Lubbock Az
alanche.

Mexican Mountains,

The Mexican mountains are mainly
of underlying granite formation. The
Jurassic, Cretaceous and Tertiary
eyes rocks are much in evidence
throughout the country, while the
highest ranges, as we have seen. are
of volcanic origin. The singular
plains of Yucatan are largely of cal
careous formation. probably a Terti-
airy limestone. Cne of the most plen-
tiful rocks over vast areas of Mexico,
and that which forms the striking va
ration Of scenery, is the mountain
limestone, the excessively hard STRAIT
flied crystalline rock Of the Lower

ing Sept. 3rd, 1915.
Mr.. and Mrs. Badger lived here nearly
all of their lives. They were a worthy
couple, faithful! to theic duties. and re
spected by all who knew them. They
were both consistent members of the
Baptist church and attended the SER
vices regularly when possible. God
spared them to live together for more
than sixty years and those years were
spent in conjugal happiness. The flu
neral of MIR. Badger was held at the
church and Mrs. Badgers at the house.

Retires From Newspaper Work.

Mrs. Lula Lepine closed her labors
with the EXPRESS, AND Standard last
Saturday night. 1t is probable she has
been connected with the paper longer
than anyone else ever in it's employ.
Coming here from Randolph, at which
tine she was employed on the Randolph
Herald, she began work for Theophoius
Grout about Is years ago. About five
years later, when the present proprie-
tor purchased the paper which then
was a semi-weekly, she was the chief
and swiftest compositor on the job.
Later she took charge of the newspaper
makeup and advertising, and has re
tanned that position until a few weeks
ago when the position was taken by her
son, Lee. She has been most efficient
hand and will long be remembered by
the newspaper force. Mrs. Lepine,
together with her husband, who is an
employee Of the b. & NJ railroad, own
a beautiful home in West Derby and
though it will be a great change for one
who has spent nearly her whole life at

end find great enjoyment in the change

The WHITE

We are told that in Siam, a kingdom
of Southeastern Asia, the white ele.
plant is worshipped as an omen of
good fortune, and as the supply is
often too small to give the kingdom
the rich promise of prosperity that is
desired, the Siamese have hit upon
a plan of helping nature. They spend
much skill and labor in painting a
goodly number of dark elephants
white and when the spring festival is
held to propitiate the gods and insure
good harvests there is no lack of en-.
couraging auguries in the parade.
Whatever we ma ythink o fthe trick
as an attempt to deceive, it yet holds
a hint for us. Many a discouraging
prospect would grow more hopeful if
only the people who waste time in
complaining could spend a little more
skill and labor in trying to turn their
dark omens white. The agonies of
conscience tormented over sin, the
frailties of body, the catastrophes
which came even upon the most pru-
dent, the ~perplexities which confront
any serious man in face of the re.
sponsibilities of life.
These are facts which make the
whole world kin. With the goal in
sight obstacles spring up overnight
to thwart our plans. Good fortune ar
rives with misfortune tagging at it's
heels in a way to spoil everything.
The fly in the apothecary's ointment
makes the whole mass unsavory.
Yet to be able to transform dark and
sour facts of experience into whole
some elements of comfort and power
is moral victory of high degree. If
men can break over the region now
traversed by the Panama canal, why
doubt that the universe can be made
more potent than the toxins of these
days? Our obstacles can be sur
mounted, our foes can be conquered.
Demons can be exercised and wrongs
redressed. Ignorance and selfishness
are the cause of many woes, but both
of these are durable. 1t is incredible
that the ugly moods and ignoble prac-
tees of the nations shall 60 on for.
ever. If our supply of good omens
become too small to give US the rich
promise of prosperity that is desired
in this above ground and all around
us world, let us hit upon a plan of
painting our dark elephants white.
