my mind wanders off to one model-thc
aged one, who twenty-four years ago we
put away for the resurrection.
About eighty years ago, and just be-
fore their marriage day, my father and
mother stood up in the old meeting
house at Somerville, N. j., and took
upon them the vows of the Christian.
Through long life of vicissitude my
mother lived harmlcssly and usefully,
and came to her end in peace. No child
of want ever came to her door and was
turned away empty. No one in sorrow
came to her but was comforted. No one
asked her the way to be saved but she
pointed him to the cross. When the
angel of life came to neighbours dwell
ing she was there to rejoice at the start
ing of another immortal spirit. When
the angel Of death came to that dwell
ing she was there to robe the departed
for the burial.
We had often heard her, when leading
family prayers in the absence of my
father, say: 80 Lord, ask not for my
children wealth or honor, but I do ask
that they may all be the subjects of Thy
comforting gracep' Her eleven children
brought into the kingdom of God, she
had but one more wish, and that was
that she might see her long-absent mis-
Bionary son, and when the ship from
China anchored in New York harbor,
and the long one passed over the
threshold OF his paternal home, she said:
"Now, Lord, lettest thou Thy servant
depart in peace, for my eyes have seen
Thy salvation"
The prayer was soon answered.
1t was an autumnal day when we
gathered from afar. and found only the
house from which the soul had fed
forever. She looked very natural. the
hands very much as when they were
employed in kindness for the children.
Whatever else we forget, we never for
get the look Of mothers hands. AS we
stood by The casket We could not help
but say: doesn't she look beautifully"

hearts, we carried her out to the last

He was one of the most popular

great many friends here and IN other

the story.
He will be most readily recalled to
the Constitution readers, perhaps, by
his spirited refusal to obey instruc-
tions given TO the political bosses of

Olive bill.
The incident was the subject of a
hot comment and secured him many
friends.

acquaintances that he had been twice
married and was again widower.
His two wives were sisters.
While his first wife was living he
had contributed toward the education
of his sister in- law. then II young girl.
Then in time he married the second
sister one he had educated.
The second wife's place in school
was taken by third sister. 1t was
Mr.. Herrington's pride that the chill
dren should grow up cultivated and
refined, and. he spared no expense in
giving the third sister-as he had
given the second = the best of educa-

Now he has married the third sister.

confidence of finding placers that will

The Greco-Reman Contest.

Next Friday night will no doubt settle
the question as to who is the better man,
Quinn or the Jap. Some claim that the
Jap did not do any wrestling last Thursday
night, but only worked on the defensive.
When the first fall was given to Quinn the
Jap became very angry at the referees de-
cision and openly declared that he would
throw Quinn and end the match. He kept
his word, but it was the closest contest for
the last ten minutes ever before witnessed
in this city. and it is fact that both men
wrestled 10 standstill, for when Quinn
was thrown the Jap was entirely exhausted
and remained almost unconscious for sew
eral minutes on the PROSTATE body of Quinn,
and did not heed the voices of his seconds
to get up, as he had won the match, but re-
manned on the fallen heavyweight until he
was carried to his corner. The jap de-
clares that he could throw Quinn if he.
Quinn, will reduce his weight: and next
Friday night Armory hall will ring with
cheers at every move of the two athletes.
