MAY DIE-JILTED

Miss Blanche Frahm grew despon-
dent last night She called to her
apartment at 449 Belmont av. a
young gentleman, said to be F. w.
Storey of the Merchants Collecting
& Adjusting Co., and explained things
to him. Then she called a doctor.
"Take the record on the table and
put it on the victrola," she instructed
DR.. L. Rose, 800 E. 47th ST.; when he
arrived. "Then get me glass of wa
ter"
A plaintive Hawaiian love song
started and DR.. Rose went after the
water. He dropped the glass when
he heard shot from the parlor, and
rushing in found Miss Frahm on the
floor with bullet in her breast.
At the hospital where physicians
despaired of saving her life, Miss
Frahm said she had been Tilted by
Arnzo Delroses, a musician, GAG Sher-
idan road. The police are seeking

Chairman Frank P Walsh of the
commission says it will be decided
today or tomorrow whether the two
multi-miIlionaires shall be compelled
to come to Chicago. tits known that
Lincoln plays golf every day, has at
tended meetings of the Pullman
board of directors the past few years,
draws salary of 100000 year and
has his brain and tongue in fairly
good shape, so that he can testify if
he wants to. 1t may be inconvenient,
but it is not impossible for him to
come to Chicago and explain why the
son of President AbrahanlLincoln is
at the head of a corporation that re-
fuses to let the workmen organize.
While the commission is quietly go
ing ahead with real hearing, dig
ging into bottom facts, the Herald,
Tribune and News are all delivering
attacks on Walsh for his lack of Gu
dicial poise." The hearings at Hotel
Sherman are not enough of a polite,
pleased-to-meet-you, parlor affair to
suit these newspapers.

BOSSES ASSN HORNS IN AND
PUTS CRIMP IN THINGS

When the Employing Lathers
Assn tried to horn in" on the peace
meeting between the union fathers
and the individual boss fathers the
meeting broke and the result was a
failure.
The fathers have made it plain to
the Employing Lathers' Assn that
there is only one basis upon which
peace can rest and that is an indi-
vidual agreement with each con-
tractor. AS long as the employers
association insists upon the joint ar
bitration agreement the union men
will carry out their intention of
striking on April 10.
The plasterers, whose work fol-
lows that of tn e fathers, refused
again to lay plaster over boards put
up by men who grabbed the jobs of
their striking brothers. The con-
tractors are claiming that they are
violating their working agreement.
The plasterers say they are not sup
posed to work with nonunion labor.
The contractors have again failed to
put one over"

she skips onto the stage, flashes her
wonderful eyes at them, smiles and
bows, until her performance is ended;
then she invariably receives storms
of applause and demands for encores
Mr.. Burbank's attractiveness is
equally as good, giving them as a
company, fame.
Their career has been very exten-
sive as they have played in nearly
every city of Importance from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast. While
in the West they availed themselves
of the opportunity of taking in the
Panama-Pacific exposition, which
they enjoyed to the fullest extent.
Now we have the pleasure of hav-
ing them home again as they arrived
June 10, and will spend the remand
er of the summer with Mrs. Bur-.
banks parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Adam
Danforth. They are equally as
pleased to be here as we are to have
them. In an interview with Mrs.
Burbank she says: while playing at
our stops on the way home we looked
50 happy and felt 50 happy to think
we were coming home that we really
made our audiences happy"
In behalf of the residents of our
little town and the HERALD we wish
to bid them welcome and extend
heartiest congratulations on the
success they have achieved.

from High, and then watched her as
she developed into womanhood,
rapidly becomming an expert violin
list; then, leaving US at intervals
while she went to Boston to study
music and became a very efficient
teacher.
After completing her course she
went to Berlin, N. H., to teach in
that city and had a class of about
fifty pupils. In 1903 she organized
the Granite orchestra.
1t was while there that she met Mr.
Arthur Burbank, who was very
musical and through their music
they were brought together. How
ever, there was so much harmony
that love affair ensued, resulting
in the Danforth-Burbank wedding.
The Granite orchestra became very
famous throughout New England,
having calls to play at the leading
functions of the season in all of the
larger towns.
Being of an enthusiastic nature
and having an irresistible desire for
broader scope, this young couple
left Berlin about 1907 to launch out
for themselves in the theatrical
world. Mrs. Burbank says eve

went to New York City and while
purchasing music and instruments
in a publishers office they were
fortunate enough to meet the re-
nowned B. A. Rolf, who produces
feature films. He spoke the word of
encouragement which spurred them
on. MIR. Rolf said: "You are country
people and have plenty of grit, you
should succeed" This meant a
great deal to them, it was an i'm
mense incentive, coming from this
man of experience. They simply
worked up, all of the time learning
new instruments, and organized

AN ideal SPOT
HOME TOWN HASNATURAL BEAUTY
OF EXTREMELY RARE
QUALITY

v. y. Howard, one of the noted
generals in the battle of Gettysburg.
once said: "The United States is tn
best country in the world; Vermont
is the best state in the union; an
and Burlington is the best town in
the state; therefore, we live in the
best place in the world"
Let us each believe that this is an
pllcable to our own town. Strive to
correct the disagreeable features.
Let the business men continually
agltate the question of the upbuild-
ing of their home town and let each
individual consider himself respons-
ible for its cleanly appearance. If
you have front yard or even a back
yard strewn with rubbish, pick it up.
If your buildings look badly, repair
them, and use a little paint.
What different appearance our
little town would present were we
each to do everything in our power to
advance and improve.
Then, looking above those features
that are absolutely impossible to cor
rect we might see the actual natura-
beauties of the dear home town.
How much it means to us to+have
the privilege of dwelling among
such natural scenery as is ours.
Surrounded by the beautiful noun
tains and the foothills with their ex-
quisite colorings, shading from the
deep green t 0 the palest hue
with an intermixture of brown shades
and all blending in perfect harmony.
Did you ever stand on the shore of
the lake when a heavy gale was blow
ing and watch the great waves wash
ing up on the shore?
Did you notice the white crests as
they tossed restlessly about, and at
the same time think that you were
really looking at a body of fresh
water, and believe that, as Gen.
Howard said of his town, 1T is the
most beautiful body of fresh water
in the world, even if it is not the
largest"
, Then, too, it has one feature that
, enhances its beauty most wonderful
ly: where can you find an island
) equal in beauty and symetry to the
one centered in that vast expanse of
silvery liquid? What a romantic
spot, partly covered, it seems, with
a forest primeval relieved near one
side of the shore by its border of
meadow land
What an ideal spot for tea house
and what perfectly splendid idea
after an afternoon on the lake, to
satisfy our appetites made keen by
the invigorating atmosphere, with
a delightful lunch on the island.
Let us open our eyes and look
around us and see the things that,
although they have been here for
ages, we have never even noticed.
both the things that are beautiful
beyond measure and also the things
that need our attention and Interest,
and let each and, every one of us put
our shoulder to the wheel eliminat-
ing the unpleasant features and de-
veloping the attractions in Island
Pond our own Village beautiful"
