OBITUARY..

Died in West Fairlce, VT, Nov. 14tl
1876. Mrs. Melissa Qlouse). wife of Ezra
NJ. Tucker, in the 54th year of her age.
Sister Tucker was converted and sought
her christian home in the bosom of the
NJ. L. Church at West Bradford during
the pastorate of Rev. L. b. Fletcher, in
the year 1912. while the church was yet
in its infancy, and remained in its com
munion an acceptable member until call
ed by death to her seat in the church tri-
umphant. She had long been subject to
ill health and had suffered much, and
being prepared to "hy away" to "the
healthful shore" death was not unwel-
come, though she would gladly have
stayed with her loved ones longer had
it been the will of God, Two days be-
tore her death, she assured her pastor
that it was well with her soul, and she
was swcetly trusting in Jesus. Peace
full and quiet In her life, sho was patient
and trustful in her death. Fully aware
that she was dying, she called her COM
pnnion and children around her bed, and
gave them one by one her last council
and blessing, and then reclining on the
bosom of her Lord she sank in death like
the setting sun on cloudless day. "Say
ye to the righteous that it shall be well
with him, for they shall eat the fruit of
their doings." DEP.

FROM THE NORTH STAR. eyes,
he appears to be IA great temperance
man during the week, but yon see
where he is in the meetings of the
Reform Club"
This remark was made 10y u gent.
lrman to a lady, as they were com
ing home from, the Club Il few even
ingS since. The number of people
who commit themselves unreServed
ly, enthusiastically and heartily to
any good cause il small.
However good the cause and how
ever much needed the help of every
good citizen there are some who are
always on the fence. 1t the wind
blows pretty hard on one side they
lean a little to the other, but they
cling to the fence.
Now it there is any one thing
more desirable than another, it is
he courage to have and hold al
opinion. In this matter of temper
ance it is Of the utmost Importance,
that every man and woman, who
wishes to be considered on the right
side. he true and loya to their COLI
victiOns and show themselves trcry-
~here and in everything, honest in
their profession. TO blow the trum-
pet with al uncertain sound is to
tamper with, nay more, to invite
the assault Of the enemy.
Men and women of Bradford I!
Christian men and women! Are
YOU doing all you can for the cause
by your private efforts? If every
one did as much as you do and no
more would Intoxicating drinks be
driven from among us? Is your
presence at the meetings Of the club
il helpful presence Shall these
men who have had the courage to
put their names to the pledge, and
who every day fight manfulIy
against temptation, have your sym.
pathy and heIps the enemy to all
go.M is always active. Let us be
IN dead earnest! NJ

kite Day in japan.

The following is extracted from the
letter Of an American in Japan:
On the 10Th Of this month (April) was
the great kite day for Nagasski. The
Japanese are very fond OF kite. flying,
and display a great deal of skill. The
kites have no tails like ours, and are
made Of two pieces Of bamboo crossed,
covered with the thin but very strong
Japanese paper.
The people ell assembled on the tor
OF Kompirs, a hill about eleven hun.
dred feet high, and the air was thick with
kites. Several hundred kites were in
the air at the same time, and the grea,
aim Of each operator is to 80 maneuver
his kite as to cut the string of the Others.
For this purpose the first couple of hun.
dred feet Of string from his kite is covered
with resin and pounded glass. Some.
times four or FIVE kites would get foul Of
each other; then the thing was either "a
get your kite clear or cut the strings Of
the others. Then again, having cut a
kite string, It was wonderful TO see them
catch this detached kite, away up in the
air. with their kite, and capture it, the
universally accepted rule being that q
kite belongs to you just so long as you
can keep it out Of somebody else's hands
The Japs get angry about such
things. II would have been hard to Rnd
twenty or thirty thousand people any
where else in the world. to enjoy them
selves 80 much, and with nothing disa.
greeable attending it.

ing Qdartermaster General of the United
States Army in place Of General Meigs,
who was sent to Europe on a row.
ing commission to make the vacancy for
ingalls,, is explaining how he came to
give Mrs.. Grant a f~orty.eight hundred
dollar watch, four or Eve years ago. BE
says it was q mere matter of friendship
for her husband, with whom he had been
intimate for thirty years. That is quite
satisfactory. Grant can take a hiot Of
that kind as quick as any man that ever
lived. he has not forgotten Ingalls,.
The watch was made for Queen Victoria,
but Ingalls, sent it to the first lady Of
the land" and it proved to be an excel
lent investment. Lack Of gratitude for
personal favSrs can never be charged to
any of the Grant family.
