it she remembered the first time she
evcr called for that stuff in this store
five years ago. She turned her eyes
away from mine and started to stam-
mcr something in reply. but after a
moments hesitation burst into tears
and ran out of the door without aword.
That is the last time | have seen her.
You will get a chance to write her up
yet, my friend; you will hear of a wo-

~ On last Tuesday morning the
sad news soon spread over town and
country among the many friends of
George Cole who had died that morn
ing of pneumonia, seven miles from
Bellevue, at his home. Few men
have made a deeper impression in
the community in which he was rear
ed and lived, or left more valuable
and instructive example than George
Cole. From youth to the hour of
his death he was remarkable for his
industry, sobriety, integrity and
warm and generous impulses. A
good man and a useful citizen has
passed away and is at rest.

q The value of excitement is,
that it breaks up the old mechanical
life which has become routine. It
stirs the stagnancy of our existence,
and causes the stream of life to flow
more fresh and clear. The danger
of excitement is the probability of
reaction. The heart, like the body
and mind, cannot be long exposed to
extreme TENSION without giving way
afterward- Strong impressions are
succeeded by corresponding istless-
ness.
