Let death come when it may, there is
sadness IN the event. Especially is it so,
when II takes one from an active and use
iui LIE, who is the light of home, who sus-
talns the tender relations of wife, mother,
daughter and sister. Such was Mrs. Lau-
ra A. White, wife Of Albert M. Alexander
whose death occurred last Saturday. Dec
Il, 1883, who made the ten years of his
married life so pleasant and happy She
was help-meet to him. Not little of
his growing success and prosperity was
due TO her thoughtful care, industrious
habits and wise counsel. She did her part
faithfully and well. Having reached the
age oi only Is, life seemed TO promise
many years of usefulness and happiness.
During the last year a new experience
came to them. Six months ago, they knew
diviner feeling than ever before in the
birth OF their little child, Pay, who will
never know his great loss in the untimely
death OF his mother who was the heart of
home. Great is the sorrow of her father
and mother and sisters all of whom lived
near her and saw her almost every day.
She had a social nature and her life was SO
full OF sunshine and JOY she formed wide
circle of acquaintance and friends who
were strongly attached to her. She had
not an enemy in the world. There was a
large number at her funeral. Seldom do
we see so many young people and they all
came as sincere mourners. The services
were attended by Rev. s. A. Parker of
Bethel and held in her late home on Tues
day The music touched a responsive chord
in every heart. The flowers so beautiful
and the white casket in which she lay as
tho she had dropped to sleep, spoke of
life rather than death, just as all our
Christian symbols should do. The day be-
fore her funeral Mr.. Alexander went to his
old home and attended the funeral of his
aged mother. Rare is the instance that
one is called to take last look of the face
of loving mother and the next day to see
the grave close over his wife, the one near
est and dearest on earth. Altho' our eyes
are dim with tears while gazing after our
loved ones who have passed into the VAL
ley of Shadows yet our faith looks on be-
yond the shadows to the land of rest and
peace. Com.

Elk In Harness.

In the streets of Denver may fire.
quently be seen u very peculiar team.
The horses look at these rivals of
theirs very curiously and sQnehmes
make up their minds to get seriously
frightened. The team in question
consists of two full grown elks and
the horses have good cause to be
jealous of them for with their long
reaching though apparently awkard
trot they get over the ground at
very good rate of speed. Brigadier
General r. B. Marcy, U. S A., IN
a recent article on this subject says:
"The experiment of training elks
to harness was often attempted in
the vicinity of Fort Gratiot, about
the time | was there, with some sue
cess. In several instances they were
broken to the halter, so that they
could be led without difficulty. One
man even succeeded in training a
full-grown bull to harness, and drove
him to sleigh for time. But one
day he stopped in front of tarvern
in Port Huron, and leaving his wapi-
tt without tying, entered the house,
presumably to get drink. Just
then dog happened to come along
and seeing the strange turnout, went
for it. This terrified the elk so much
that he jumped fence with the
sleigh at his heels and started off at
full speed for the woods. When the
runaway was caught there were
few remnants Of the harness hanging
to him but nothing was ever found
of the vehicle. / do not remember
that elk transportation was resorted
to again during that winter in that
particular neighborhood.
About this time my Chippewa
friend, Pe-to-wan quad, brought me
a young calf elk, which we kept un-
til he was about half-grown. For
some time he would take no other
food but milk and even that he would
not touch unless it was administered
to him from a bottle. When, how
ever, the nose of the bottle was put
into his mouth he would swallow the
contents almost as quickly as it could
have been discharged from a gun.
He was very docile and came into
the house whenever he desired. His
favorite habit was to lie on a. rug
before our sitting-room fire; and
sometimes when he observed that the
dinner was being put upon the table
he would quietly help himself, if not
prevented. He was fond of playing
with the children, and seemed quite
harmless, until one day he took it
into his head to strike at one with
his sharp fore feet, but fortunately
did not hit the child. Thereupon l
gave him to neighbor, who had an
enclosure with high fence round it,
about 600 yards from the fort, and
there he was confined and remained
for several months. One day some
one by accident left the gate open,
and the elk made his escape, and
came charging through the gate into
the parade ground, made directly for
my quarters, into my sitting-room,
and deliberately laid himself down
upon his favorite rug. as he had Of
ten done months before. / had HIM
taken back to the Enclosure, but he
repeated the same thing whenever he
could get out afterwards. "-Gredt

How To Kill Your Town.

Buy of peddlers as often and as
possible.
Denounce your merchants because
they make profit on their goods.
Glory in the downfall of a man
who has done much to build up the
town.
Make your town out a very bad
place and stab it every chance you
get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for
the betterment of the material inter-
est of the people.
Don't join the commercial club be-
cause it is making every honorable
effort to build up every interest of
the city.
Tell your merchants that you can
buy goods a good deal cheaper in
some other town and charge them
extortion.
If stranger comes to your town
tell him everything is overdone, and
predict general crash in the town
n the near future.
Keep up divided public sentiment
with you on the best method of in
creasing business.
When you have anything to say of
your town say it in such way that
it will leave the impression that
you have no faith in it.
Patronize outside newspapers to
the exclusion of your own, and then
denounce yours for not being as
large and cheap as the big city pa
pers.
If you are merchant don't adver-
tise in the home paper, but buy a rub
her stamp and use it. 1t may save
you a few dimes and make your let
ter heads and wrap paper look as
though you were doing business in a
one-horse town.
If you are farmer, curse the
place where you trade as the mean
est on earth. Talk this to your neigh
bors and tell them the business men
are robbers and thieves. 1t will
make your property much less valu-
able, but then yon don't care.
