resulted in a victory for the Alerts. The
playing was the best that has ever been

were regarded as dangerous in their

be very much better. She talked with
ease and freely until within few min

by those in attendance and. before the
family could be called, breathed her last.
Her only living children, Mrs. C. c.

Dear Sir:
We have just fin

with the Mccormick Harvester and
Binder and the Osborne Binder.
We were to take the two machines
and work them through the entire
har}est-then to give our decision.
w are Tree 10 cOiiltSS liidC ueloiC
starting the machines we were all
strongly and favorably impressed
that the Osborne was superior ma
chine to the Mccormick. We fin
ished today and will cheerfulIy say
that for lightness of draft simplicity
of machine, durability and clean
work we have concluded to take the
Mccormick, and settled for it. Any
of our neighbors wanting harvesting
machines we can recommend the
Mccormick to do all the agent
claims for it.

Like angels on the wind

The words came to my silent room
From fresh young lips as she knelt and said
Her childish prayer in the evening gloom,
Ere she laid her down OH her tiny bed
"Now lay me down to sleep"
God how the lapse of three score years
Their hopes all withered and sunshine gone
Came rolling back in food of tears
Az listened to that little one
Now lay me down to sleep"

With my young hands clasped in infant prayer,
And felt her soft eyes fondly meet
My gaze, a. she smoothed my silky hair,
And lisped, 81 lay me down to sleep
On the battle field, where bloody strife
Had closed for many eyes,
And sealed in death the fresh young life,

And the last sad hour OF life draws nigh;
Ere the day eternal is begun,
