18th year Of his age.
Death. that ever.unwelcome visitor,

Yes, though all was done that kind

to alleviate his long and intense suffer.
ings. and to stay the hand Of Provi-

him; and little LEO, in the Spring-time
of his life and childish innocence, left
devoted parents, loving brothers and
sisters to mourn his loss and weep over
his early grave.
They mourn not, however, without
hope, for they have every reason to be-
lieve that the little sufferer patiently
awaits the coming of his loved ones in
that Celestial Home, where suffering il
