than all the D. DIS living. / am
not crazy. know that the world Is
full of good and enjoyable things,
and that they we're put here tor our
good and benefit, and that we should
strive aud work to obtain them.
But I am unable to care for them
without the love Of my darling. I
wish tn state that Miss IS in no
way responsible for my having loved
her; that almost before she had
ground for thinking that my feelings
toward her were more tender than
those of friendship, she informed me
that her heart was another's, aud
that, while she esteemed and cared
for me as a friend, could be moth
ing more to her. But she was mis-
taken in that, and though I could
not convince her OF IL while living,
she will realize IL when ! sleep the
sleep that knows no waking. A
sweet good night to all.
On the back oi sheet of note pa
per were the words I" Respect
this" On the other side there was
the following;
al wish TO be buried just in the
clothing in which die. Do not move
me from where l am found except TO
my grave. Bury me in a plsin pine
coffin and have me carried to my
grave in e-horse spring wagon.
Do not let the fetal cost of my burial
exceed IS. As the last request OF a
dying man conjure you TO respect
these instructions"

~ chemistry as non infamable and the most
positive retainer of heat in nsture. Our pro-
cess consists in so preparing Asbestos with

covering for steam pipes and boilers, which
We have fully demonstrated is pre-emineutly
superior to any other covering now in use. It

from cracking As it absorbs no moisture

In plastic state upon . hot surface with
