mortal to put on Immortality.


1t seems but rs. yesterday when
Our frater and his beloved wife bade
us goodbye as they left on their way
couth to enjoy brief rest before he
commenced his spring business-full
of life, the picture of health, buoyant
in spirit and full of bright anticipa-
ton OF the rich pleasures about to be
unfolded TO. sport and recreation.
Little, indeed did he realize when he
left his happy home, bade his rela-
tives and numerous friends farewell,
affectionately embraced his lovely
child and committed her to the care
and tender custody Of her grand
parents until his return, that it was to
be his last, long farewell of home,
friends, relatives and child-little, in
deed, did the partner of his joy
dream that her cup of sorrow and

which she had to partake, turning
the pathway Of pleasure and gladness
into sorrow and sadness. But Heav-
en- wisely from all creatures hides the
book of fate, and gave her strength
and courage to perform the mournful
pilgrimage, and when she returned,
it was with the broken vase, which
lost none of its fragrance though the
clay was broken and scattered, and
his virtues linger in our remembrance,
and reflect its shining lustre beyond
the portals of the tomb.
Brother McHardy was Mason in
fact as we'll as in name, and those of
us who knew him as the world never
can, bear testimony OF his manly
worth as Mason, tried, trusty and
true. In his business career he was
eminently successful; devoted hus-
band ard afectionate father, an es-
teemed and useful citizen, kind and
generous friend, and distinguished
Mason; he has passed through death
to the life hereafter. Few have gone
before so lovingly remembered; few
are SO sincerely regretted, few are so
tenderly mourned.

And full Of all he could DESIRE hut days"

Der of this Commandery, and all that
was mortal of Sir Knight McHardy
now reposes in the bosom of mother
earth, awaiting the general resurrec-

the earthly habitation has ascended
to the God who gave it. Therefore,
ReSok0ed, That in the death of Sir
Knight McHardy, we sincerely mourn
the loss of valued Frater, whom we
all loved and respected for his integ-
ritv Of purpose, his manly bearing,
his love of our Order and the Craft
at large.
Resolved, That in the midst of
our sorrow, the remembrance of those
noble qualities of heart as we'll as that
innate modesty and honest yet digni-
fed bearing which ever characterized
him, makes us feel more keenly the
severe loss which we have sustained
in his sudden and untimely death.
Resolved, That his worth and abil-
ity were recognized in his daily inter
course with the world as in Masonry,
and he performed his every duty with
integrity and marked ability-an up
right and faithful official, an honored
and respected citizen, and in the life
and acts of Sir Arthur S. McHardy,
we have an example well worthy of
imitation.
Resolved, That while we consign
his mortal remains 10 the tomb, we
will ever cherish his memory green
in our hearts, and commend his spirit
to the God who gave it.
Resolved, That we mingle our tears
with his widow and those of the
broken circle in which he was best
known and most beloved, and pray
that He who hath smitten may also
sustain and comfort them, turning
fheir present grief into everlasting
joy.
Resolved, That the Banner of our
Order be draped in mourning for

ranch by John Guthrie's place during
the recent storm, says that several
inches of snow fell at the latter place,
causing much damage to fruit trees.
The trees were naturally bent under
the great weight Of fruit which they
were bearing, and the snow, which
accumulated on the foliage, broke
down many Of them. Many peach
and apple trees were almost ruined,
and Mr.. Guthrie estimates the dam
age to his orchard at over $1,000.
The snow storm was general in the
valley, but the snow remained on the
ground only in belt Of six or eight
miles, and the orchard happened to
be in that belt Winnemucca Sill
