IN MEMORIAM.
Home to the Master a brother has been called,
Safely anchored, we trust, in that harbor, The
BEST"
Tho we mourn his departure, in the Lodge he S
installed,
Where the wicked cease from troubling and the
weary find rest.
In young manhood cut down, time ne'cr let's us
flee,
While the sands of his life ebbcd so quickly
away,
Tho broken the column, yet perfected twill be,
by the Grand Architect, who guldeth our way.
BY faith he looked upward, his hope was above,
on Eternty's shore saw Sweet Charity stand,
Her mantle outreachng her face beamihg love,
As he entered for ave the morning land.
When the Master calls you to tho Lodge that's
above.
Let your hearts be prepared the grim tyrant to
see,
There your brother to join in that bond of true
love,
While on earth evergreen will his memory be.

TIE GENEROUS HORSE.

TIE GENEROUS HORSE.
One morning noise in the stable
where pair of carriage horses were
kept attracted my attention. Looking
in at the door | saw that one Of the
horses had made his way out of his
loose-box, the door of which was un-
locked, and had found a bucket of mash
which was standing il. the entrance of
the stable, and taking the opportunity
while the coach-man was in the loft he
was helping himself freely to its con-
tents, the other horse who could not get
out of his box saw his friends proceed
ings and neighed loudly, as much as
to say he wanted the other horse
to share the mash with him, and
the servant was astonished to see the
horse who was enjoying himself fill his
mouth with the mash and poke his
nose through the bars of the loose-box
for his friend to take it from his mouth.
This was done several times The
horse that was fed by his friend had
been known on former occasions to
push over the remainder of his hay in
to his companions rack when that had
been emptied before his own.

Columbia F. Evans died at her home in
Arcadia, Mo-, August %, 1888.
Columbia +. Bripker was born in Potosi,
Mo-, Nov. 6, 1921, where she lived until Nov.
g, 1S41, when she was married to George s.
Evans, of st. Francois county. The young
couple first kept house in Pennington, where
they remained for several years. In 1873
they moved to Meramec Iron Works, thence
10 Steelvile, Crawford county, and in April,
1858, came to Arcadia, where they have since
resided. Mrs. Eyans embraced religion in
her youth and was member of the Presby-
ter;an church before her marriage. She be-
came more devoted to Christianity as her
years multiplied and was ready TO go when
called, and on her deaih-bed helped sing:
"Bear me Away on Your Snowy Wing"
Sister Columbia will not be forgotten while
the present generation lives. She was an
obedient daughter, noble wife. a kind sis.
ter and loving mother. During her last ILL
ness she occasionally suffered intensely, but
her last moments were peaceful and she died
as If reposing in quiet sleep. May we all
be as ready as she was for a transition from
this life to another. ELLIS.

ed, "a; average number of pupils attending
each day, is: average number Of days at
tendance by each pupil, u; number of pu-
pills not absent or tardy during the month, 2;
days taught, 20. This is very good when we
take in consideration the rainy weather and
the measles. The latter Las had something
to do with the attendance, as nearly every
family in the district have had the measles
within the past six weeks. hope that all
will soon be able to attend again and that
parents will see the importance of regular
attendance and not allow their children to
stay at home or run about and play, as is
often the case, aud then the teacher is to
blame If they do not learn as much as Mr..
A or BIS children, who attend school regular.
