Many OF our people were deeply inter
csted in this young man who came here
about April 4th. having been recommend
ed by his physician to travel overland
from this place to Colorado accompanied
by his father and a gentleman friend.
In the early winter he was attacked by
Ia grippe" Very energetic and ambiti-
GUS by nature he would not give up, but
kept his position, which was a very re-
spOnsible one, with now and then a day
or SO when his mother wou d, by her n
der care, revive him and in spite of all
remonstrance back he would go to his
post. He only gave up his position
about ten days before he came here.
But he had tarrled to. long. The hand
of the destroyer had too close a grasp on
his young life to surrender it even to the
Kansas or Colorado climate. His father
prepared an outfit and provided every
comfort for Harry and waited for sum-
mer .breezes as our spring was so cool.
After being here about six weeks Harry
grew worse and, as they were compelled
to keep him in the open air, they went to
the Fort to camp out. But Harry grow
ing worse, Captain Sweeney kindly al
lowed them the use of a part of his house
and the mother was telegraphed for.
All was done for him that kind hearts
and loving, tender hands could do, but
on the 31st of Nav he told his father
that he wanted to go home. He had
been till that day SO eager, SO anxious to
get to Colorado, hoping to grow strong
again, but then he realized that God was
going to take him away and he longcd
for the old home and the sister and the
brothers who so anxionsly awaited every
word from him. On Wednesday morn
ing June 4th they took him home to die.
The loving parents appreciated the kind
ness and sympathy of our citizens and
the family of Mr.. Sweeney more than
they can express, as Mrs. Davis remarked
as the train was about moving from the
city: Il shall always remember with
gratitude the people l met here. The
deceased was born of the Spirit of God
and united with The Baptist church ut
Medina, New York, when he was sixteen
years of age, while he was attending
school, residing with bis grandfather.

DO BE A GENTLEMAN.
Some Hints thst may be Very Pro1sabls.
Observed.

No matter what sterling worth young
man may possess, if he be not vcrsed in
the little manners and attentions which
distinguish the well-bred man from the
poor, he will not succeed. Good manners
are passport everywhere, and young men
who wish to succeed will pay the utmost
attention to them. Especial care should
be bestowed on table etiquette, As nothing
stamps man SO much as his manner
when eating, and nothing is so distressing
to person of refinement as to be obliged
to eat at the same table with an ill-brctl
person. The following hints, if carefully
observed and practieed, will enable any
young nan to mingle with his fellows
without giving offense. And take heed,
young men, these little things are of more
importance to the girls than all your rough
good qualities.
Do not drink with the spoon in your
cup. Place it in the saucer. Nothing is
more vulgar than this.
Donot drink your soup or coffee audibly.
In fact, especial care should be observed
in eating silently, for nothing is more dis
gusting than noisy chewing and drinking,
except eating with the mouth open.
Do not, under any circumstances, use
the fingers to push food on your fork
or spoon.
Do not lean your arms OH the table.
Do keep your elbows close to your side,
and don't flourish them in the air. In
raising food to the lips the lower part Of
the arm only must be used.
Do be careful as to the way you hold
your knife and fork, for nothing will give
you more awkward and inelegant ap-
pearance than improper handling Of these
important articles. The knife should be
held by the handle only. Do not
touch the blade with your finger. The fork
should not be held with the whole hand
except when cutting. In raising the food
to the lips hold the fork ut the end of the
handle, prongs upwSrd, between the first
finger and the thumb, the handle resting
on the second finger. Ii you hold it
otherwise you are obliged to duck your
head and stick out your elbow in ortler to
eat.
Never walk out of room before lady.
Open the door, then stand aside and allow
her to precede you. In this way you fol.
low her out and close the door for her
easily. Nothing is more rude and lll-bred
than violation of this rule.
Do take Of your hat the instant you
come in the house.
Do pay attention iO the foregoing rules
and believe that good manners are In
pOrtant.

Camphor is made in Japan in this way:

Drowned at Guthrie,

On last Sunday the friends and rela-
tivcs of Mr.. and Mrs. Morris Collar were
shocked by the news that their son. Abe
Collar, aged twelve years. had been
drowned while bathing in the Cotton
wood river, at Guthrie, Oklahoma. The
water was quite deep. and Abe, wishing
to cross to the other side, he requested
man named King, who was bathing with
him, to take him on his back and carry
him across, which he attempted to do;
but when about the middle of the stream
the boy slipped from Kings back and
winding his arms about tie lattsr's neck
they sank together. King succeeded in
getting away and reached the shore in
safety, but Abe was drowEed. His body

ON last Saturday evening the elegant
bachelor apartments of Mr.. Chas. Lang
and Mr.. c. c. Wollman, in the Durand
building, were the scene of a most en-
joyable affair, the occasion being a fare
well party rendered to Mr.. Lang by his
many gentlemen friends of this city. The
rooms were brilliantly lighted and flow
ers in profusion tastefully decorated the
apartments. The guests who were hon
ored with the friendship of Mr.. Lang
during his residence here, crowded the
rooms. and were most royalty entertain
ed. Songs, such as only bachelors can
sing, divided time with species eulo
CYSTIC of the social qualities of him who
was soon to part with the guests, made
time fly unheeded. Notwithstanding
the fact that the invited guests were con-
fined to the sterner sex, dancing was in
dulged in. This was probably done to
show the bachelors defiance of the old
saying that lit is not good for man to be
alone" At eleven o'clock an elegant
repast was served to the guests by cat
erer Coxson. The choice viands found a
hearty reception at the hands of the
gourmands. Mr.. Lang leaves for an OK
