listed as a common soldier Il the ranks of the
18th Connecticut Regiment, carried musket
and did full military duty during the war, but
at a certain juncture, when National finances
were at low ebb, he paid soldiers of the regi
ment their wages for three months out of his
own pocket. Relative 10 this incident p. r.
Barnum yesterday told the following story
never before published:
While Mr.. Howe was counting out the money
referred to, a stranger, who was a clergyman,
entered the tent and said he had heard of Mr.
Howes liberality, and had called to ask him to
contribute toward building church for his con-
gregation.
Church, church. said Mr. Howe. without

living 1t proves that our average population
lives well. And this is important fact Good
living promotes health, and is sign of intelli
gence. Were people poverty stricken as
nation would be bad. Whether we advance in
the better elements of civilization or retrograde
depends on our living. 1t is also test of our
earnings. This nation has been steadily hquidat-
ing debt since 1865. Yet it has lived, including
luxuries, not less than ten thousand millions a
year. and has put down in business and trading
plants at least as much more. Twenty thousand
millions year seems like large sum. 1t means
an earning capacity of $500 year for every man,
woman and child in the country. Suppose that

each active worker as producing -. 900 year of
actual wealth.

Necessity.


Gaunt-faced and hungry -eyed she waits,
This somber warder of our fates
Forever sleepless, while we sleep
And silent while we watch and weep.
Sometimes. beguiled by smiling skies
And wooing winds, we shut our eyes,
Forgetting for little space
That tireless, unforgetting face.
Or, stirred, as stirs the sap in spring
BY natures force, we laugh and sing,
Or run to pass that waiting shape
With flying footsteps of escape.
But where we run she leads the way,
She goes before us night and day,
No flying footsteps can escape,
By any path, that sombre shape.
Always she waits with whip and spur
To urge us on if we demur;
With bitter breath we call her sfoe,"
AS driven thus we rise and go.
The roads we follow wind and twist,
Our eyes grow blind with binding mist.
Blown down to US as we ascend
The upland heights that near the end.
And at the end-''Where is our foel
Where hideth she?" we cry-and 10,
Through breaking mist an angels face
Looks out upon us from her place!

But she was ripe for eternity and
'she was not, for God took her.
On the anniversary of her S0th
birthday deputation of young men
from the boarding school called to
congratulate her on behalf of the
whole school, and her messages to
the school as well as her conversa-
ton with the young men will long
be remembered as the parting words
of one whose relation to the school
was indeed that of mother.
The funeral services were held at
the Haili Church, at which a large
audience was present. The pail
bearers were all graduates of the
school Cone of whom is the only
surviving member of the first class,
the class of 1860, whose tender
regard for the deceased was like
that of bereaved sons. Remarks
were made by the Rev. +. p. Baker,
and the Rev. w. B. Oleson, those
of the latter being interpreted by
Hon. ID. H. Hitchcock. The. scrip
lures were read and prayer offered
by the Rev. j. Kalana, the pastor
of the native church, who is also a
graduate of the school. The united
choirs of the native and foreign
churches sang "Jesus, Lover of my
Soul" and "Asleep in Jesus" and
the boarding school boys sang in
softest strains hymn that had been
composed by Hon. j. X. Nawahi on
the occasion of Father Lyman s
funeral, little over year ago.
"When Jesus comes,'' special
favorite of Mother Lyman's, was
sung over her grave.
