Trip Ti^rough Marble Quarries in the

Other Interesting Places,
Wc doubt if there ic any more de
sirable place on the continent to spend
a summer vacation than in the green
sBouutains of Vormont. After two
long years of haid toil without a va
cation. we find ourselves on a busi
iiess and pleasure trip among the
Oieei; Mountains, of Vermont, and en
tertained by the oflicers and their
wives, of one of the officers and thei-:
, wives, of one of the strongest cou
cerns .in the world, ths Vermont Mar
ble Co.
We hear very little of this busi
ness down here, but those who do riot
feel interested, would become interest
ed, with a visit to their plant. The
Inain office is at Proctor, Vermont,
in the heart of the Gx’een Mountain
district with quai'ry possessions c'jv-
trist^ a area of several counties. The
towii cf Proctor being made up en-
Ui'elj of the employes of tha company.
>Vt were told that there was not a
Gin -' family living in ihe town of
15,000 population except those con-
j'.tctad with the business of the mar
ble company, which business employs
4,800 men. The town has all modern
cc nveniences at the expense of the
ciimtany, together vvith hospital
which gives free treatment to thtir
Lmployes and a splendid Y. M. 0. A.
built of marble. In fact they use,

We would not close without saying
that we were not only royally e".-
tertained while at Proctor, but we
were met at Warhington by a repre
sentative of the Philadelphia branv^h
of the Vermont ^larble Company, and
Us friends accompanied us all the way
around and back to Philadelphia, to
gether with a side trip to Atlantic
City, where you raeet life at its height.
After fifteen days we returned
home, to the best town of them all—

streets and the little girl wa-j riding

the hor.se almost upon the child. With
out losing a second he jumped fo,- the

A queer coincidence was the fact
that tile L'utiawny lioi'ss v.*a^ bli«d and
i the driver a negrc man, was totally
dtaf. It appears that the nor.^e be-
Cr'.iy e frightened at somethii-.g which
be could not see and v.hich the driv-
ti could not hear -and V..61ted down the'
street wach to the surprise of the
dusky Jehu. The wagon struck a
post before it had gone far and the
driver was precipitated to ihe strett
iir.d bruised up somiwhat. but not
ti.riou.sIy injured. The hors.i and wag-
bii continued up .tho street for about
anothej' block and came to grief when
‘hr; horse attempted to negotiate a
ti,ni and ran into some trees, tearing
the WJgon apart in several places.
The horse was i-,ot hurt.
If the Senate is not careful it will
overdo the thing in the matter of
sv.'atting thetr lists.
