] Waldo Mum of West Fairlee, VT.
The following account of his life
was taken from the Lowell Courier
Citizen of March %. about 25
years ago there came to Lowell a
young man to enter the employ of
Charles E Adams as clerk in
his hardware store on Middle
sex Street. That young man, then
wholly unknown and without a
friend in Lowell, was Arthur T Mum,
who last Saturday passed on to the
higher life. Rarely is it the for tune
Of man to be more widely known
and highly respected in the COM
munity where his active life is
spent, than was his, after % years
among US. OF good old New England
stock and reared on Vermont farm,
he inherited the virtues of honesty,
industry and resourcefulness, which
were ever his predominating qualities,
and fitted him we'll for his place in
the business and social life of a busy
New England city. Through these
qualities of life and character, he
slowly but surely advanced in his
business until, at the death Of his
employer he became a substantial
owner and the active head of the
business, in which his absolute hon
esty and dependability gained the
full confidence of every one with
whom he dealt. Endowed by nature
with fine tenor voice and an ar
tistic appreciation of good music, he
was very active in musical circles
and gave much time to this work as
member of various church choirs
and male quartettes. Making the
most of this talent, he gave pleasure
and comfort to a great number of
people, who were privileged to hear
him sing.
"Of a genial and happy nature,
ever ready with smile and joke, he
made life happier for every one with
whom he came in contact and leaves
a wide circle Of loyal friends, who
will lone hold him in affectionate
remembrance" F. +. j.

Meets Committee of Chamber of
Commerce and Seeks Coop
Grafton of Industry.

Washington, March 80. Plans to
bling about a closer relationship be-
tween the Department of Commerce
and various bI anches of business were
discussed at conference attended by
Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Com
merce, and sever al Of the Directors
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States. 1t is Mr. Hoover's
hope that definite results will be &C
complished which will prove of great
benefit in the expansion of foreign
commerce and efficiency in industry.
The Chamber of Commerce will
name a committee to cooperate with
MIR Hoover, and it is proposed, as
part of the program, to name an Ad-
visory Board to the department,
which will include representatives OF
business, agriculture and labor. MIR
Hoover made the following statement
at the conclusion of the conference:
AT the conference between a por-
tion of the Directors of the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
myself, we discussed at length ways
and means of organizing a definite
relationship Of the Department of
Commerce with the different branches
of business. (.
"The Chamber of Commerce will
appoint a small committee to CO.
operate with me and such CONNER
cial and industrial organizations as
are also concerned, in order that a
small initial Advisory Board to the
department may be selected which
will represent the different elements
in American business.
at is proposed to include repre-
sentatives of agriculture and labor on
this board, because our national prob
lens with which this department
deals do not concern the manufactur-
er, exporter and ship owner alone,
but also our laborer and farmer"
BY bringing about this kind of CO.
operation Mr. Hoover hopes to make
the Department Of Commerce avital
organization in the advancement of
export trade.
Washington, March 20. "Uncle Joe"
Cannon, now that Champ Clark has
gone, the only living former speaker
of the House, has called attention to
the fact that il was the $4,000 ap-
by the Republican party
when in power during the Mckinley,
Roosevelt and Taft administrations
that brought about the invention Of
aircraft. He said:
1T is wonderful how we progress.
And this progression commenced on
an amendment reported on an appro-
priation by the Committee on Appro-
priations that I had the honor to
have charge of.
Prof. Langley, the head Of the
Smithsonian Institution. now dead
and gone, invented the airplane, the
first one that was ever built on
earth. The ridicule that he received
was the cause of his death. He was
rartooned and ridiculed all over the
country. He did make a machine |
with the modest appropriation. as
recall IL, of $4,000. II was taken on a |
COW downon the Potomac. and at first .

Mr. Sargent is TO move into the

fine view from the house, and the
cordial help they are receiving from
the people of the parish. 1t will
seem like old times to have our
minister dwell with us and give all
his time to the work of the parish.
In combining parishes the districts
farthest away have been neglected
until they have seemed to drop out
of touch with the church. The little
attention Mr. Sargent has been able
to give in pastoral work has pro-
duced very cordial relation between
him and these outlying districts, and
we hope the results of this year will
prove that community church is
something besides an empty name
and that the harvest justified the
expectations. If all pull together
and each does his part in the real
work of the church, we believe we
shall reap a harvest of such as we
have long prayed for.

MULE BooTLEGGER CAPTURED

Kipling says "the mule is but a
mule" but Deputy Russ Baker
proved Friday that q mule may also
be a bootlegger. At any rate, the
mule, whose antecedents are un-
known to us, but which has strayed
from the straight and narrow way,
has been found guilty of carrying
and transporting the festive moon
shine and Judge r. S. Rose will
make an order for its sale into hard
labor as a result.
A gun was discharged in what is
known as jackson County Fair
Ground" adjoining the Knox County
Fair Ground and Deputy Baker went
thither to see who the sport might
be. He had gone or mixed with the
crowd of gentlemen who were busy
outpointing each other at the thrill
ling game of horse trading.
Standing pensively under tree
and wearing that air OF sublime In.
neteAee which so often masks the
face OF Sinner. stood mule. on
its bach was a sncK that had a fruit
lsr 5ontainef appearance and De-
puty Baker began ca invsstisate
with a pocket Bnife. He was re-
wafdsa for Ntvibr q suspicious ha7
tuFe with gallnn aHd Il half OF real
mountain dew which sioshed around
in the Jars when the mule swung at
a fly on or near his tail piece.
The bootlegger was brought to
town and impounded. Up to the
time of going to press the prisoner
has made no statement, but has pre-
served a contemptuous silence except
for an occasional derisive bray.
Whether the act of the mule is
one of natural depravity or associ-
alton with others who have led the
trusting animal astray, we leave the
reader to guess, but ignorance Of the
law is no excuse and the poor brute
will be sold for his sins.

Of those places hewn Of a single opal
or turquoise we read Of in oriental
fairy tales.
Approaching it, the Moslem pilgrim
has to observe a strict ceremonial. AS
he enters he puts his right foot for
ward, begging pardon for his sins and
invoking Gods mercy. Walking round
the rock, he must keep it on his right
hand, reversing the process followed
when making the circuit of the Kaaba
at Mecca. Before proceeding to the
cave underneath, he must probe his
heart and strive for humility of spirit,
uttering the prayer of Solomon! "Oh
