Cured last Thursday, which was Ascension
Day, at II am, from ST. Matthew's Church
Rev. II. Thompson reading the service.
The Sunday School class of which the de-
ceased child was member, attended the
services in a body carrying flowers which
they strewed on the grave. The patience
and fortitude with which she bore the ter
rible suferings which racked her little frame
during an illness of seventeen weeks were
heroic. She seemed to grow more cheerful
as the end grew near. Her sutferings had
wasted her until she was but mere shadow
of her former self, but the bright, cheerful
disposition remained to cheer the hearts of
sorrowing parents and friends. lone was
eight years and nine months old.
-Died:-Marianne g., wife of Mr. w.

o'clock a. M, Tuesday, May 6, 1890.
The announcement of this estimable la
dy's death was sad as it was sudden. AL
though in somewhat delicate health for
some time past, she was out on Saturday
but during the night was taken alarmingly
i'll and failed so rapidly as to be past hope
within the succeeding twenty -four hours.
Deceased was born at Kingston, jamaica
was fifty eight years of age and had lived in
La Crosse about thirty years. She was an
active member of the Episcopal church, and
a woman whose unobtrusive charities and
many acts of kindness, both by word and
deed, will make her loss keenly felt and
cause her memory to be cherished in the
community. Funeral services were held at
Christ church at ten o'clock Thursday NOR

SYNOPSIS
Mr. Stevenson has sent his daughters
Margaret and Annie, to Germany, for the
two-fold purpose of having them learn Ger
man (by the Meisterschaft System) and of
separating them for time from their res
pective lovers, George and Will. Mr.
Stevenson will permit his daughters to have
society on condition that they speak only
German. At the end of few weeks he
calls (unbeknown to the girlS) on Frau
Blumenthal, at whose house they are locat-
ed, to inquire what progress they are max
ing in the language. Frau Blumenthal has
not very good report to give, but discloses
to him plan she has devised to force them
to speak German, viz: to shut herself in
her room for 3 weeks on pretense of being
ill-leaving the girls to the tender mercies
of the servant who knows no English.
Meanwhile, George and Will, having fol-
lowed them to Germany and learned the
terms on which the young ladies may re-
ceve callers, apply themselves diligently to
acquire some German sentences, as given in
Meisterschaft, and present themselves one
evening at Frau Blumenthals. They prac-
tice their German at the door on the SER
want, who, ruf1ed and indignant at their
nonsense, brings up their cards, informing
the young ladies that ''two crazy gentlemen
are outside wishing to come in" Gretchen
reluctantly allows them to enter, but arms
herself with gun to protect Margaret and
Annie, feeling convinced in her own mind
that the men are insane The conversation,
consisting of sentences from Meisterschaft-
about shopping, going to the theatre. trav-
cling on the cars, ETC., ETC., is decidedly la
bored and interspersed with long and en-
barassing pauses. Gretchen's presence is
not observed, until for want of something
else to say, the four begin to conjugate the
verb "to have" when she falls from her
chair in a swoon and the gun goes Oft.
Large sums of money are given her by the
gentlemen to say nothing, and she at once
becomes their sworn friend and helper.
MIR. Stevenson, returning at the end of
three weeks. discovers the true facts of the
case. and being sensible man, and not see
ing just how to help himself, gives the low
ers his blessing.
