tor has represented the Father of his
Country in a kneeling position, his sword
in his right hand, and cooked hat in his
left. The head il bowed and the great
patriot il in an attitude Of prayer. 1t is
expected that the memorial will be ready
for the setting early this season.
The same firm has practically com
pleted an original soldiers monument

quarry has been used and excellent re-
suits obtained therefrom by Mr.. Tosi.

CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT.
While Trying to Mail Letter in the
North End To-day.

A North Barre woman who wanted
to mail letter adopted the unusual ex-
pedient of attempting to drop the mis-
sive into fire alarm box. Her purpose
became known at 1910 this forenoon
when the alarm sounded from No ii, at
the corner OF West Second and North
Main streets. 1t was the first general
alarm since the call men went on the
new pay schedule and there was gen
erous response. Chief Gladding. who was
aboard the auto truck as it swept down
street with the horse e-drawn apparatus
in its wake, OWNED the falsity of the
alarm when he saw a woman standing
near the box with . letter in her hand.
Obviously it was an unintentional mis-
take on her part and she seemed greatly
exercised over the trouble she had given
the ire department. Men and apparatus
returned to headquarters at once.
