Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
The question of securing fine mon
umental work is one which comes
sooner or later to all and it is GER
tainly a consoling thought to know
that the last resting place of our
loved ones is permanently marked
and their ashes secured from desc
Grafton. In selecting satisfactory
monumental work several things
should be taken into consideration
as, material, which must be durable,
color, which must be attractive, de-
sign, which must be artistic, and
workmanship, which must be of high
quality. The people of Mt. Sterling
are very fortunate to have at their
command the services of S. M. Jack
son whose activities are so reliable
that he receives orders from all
parts of Montgomery county and
from even more distant points. Mr.
Jackson carries a stock of Barre, VT

has made him a great money pitcher,
a man who could go out and win
against almost unsurmountable odds.
The third is his Puritanical observ-
ance OF rules which keep him in condi.
ton. Plank has no bad habits, he lives
as regularly as a government clock. he
allows nothing to interfere with his
condition.
Plank has peculisrities. He believes
for one thing that every pitcher has a
certain number of pitched balls In his
system. For that reason he has al.
ways growled when he passed q bat
ter. 1t was his belief that he lost the
nmrber OF balls he had pitched to that
man without getting any results.
For 16 years Plank has been In the
big league spotlight. Starting with
the Athletics in 1901 he worked with
Connie Mack for II seasons aud only
one year did he fall below an average
of 500. This was in 1908 when the
team behind him was poor.
His best year was 1912 when he won
&c and lost games for an average Of
.s13. That year Plank was 81 years
old, an age when most pitchers have
gone back to the bushes or retired.
And IN 16 years Plank piled up an
average which southpaws may shoot
1T for years to come. He won 315 and
lost 1874 games for an average of .631,
q mark which many pitchers would be
roud of for one season.

There are three secrets of Plank's

to stay in the game longer than any

The first is his brain, which has

 The ground won ythe Germans yes terday could in no wise compensate for the shambles caused by von linden burg's disregard for the lives of his men. But it must be borne in mind that he was playing for vastly bigger stakes than have yet been won. In his latest attacks there were undoubt- edly tremendous efforts to break through with great possibilities of a drive out into the open such as he engineered in Italy.
 The situation today was much easier 1 for the British. Yesterday was admit l tedly a rather anxious one, but abun-
