A few years ago an aged couple lived
in quiet home on Washington boule-
ward, near Union park. Their married
life covered more than three score
years. They were especially devoted
to each other, and advancing years
seemed to clasp the bonds of early love
closer and closer. They were people of
much refinement and culture. tlength
the old gentleman passed peacefully
and hopefully away. The widow sur
vived and seemed to live in the same
close companionship that had made
beautiful all their married life. The
spirit side of life was toward her, and
the curtain so thin she could catch
glimpses of the beautiful life be-
yond. Her ninetieth birthday was

moment was only little way off. Her
mind retained all its strength and
clearness, and when thoughts of the
future came with especial force there
seemed a spiritual illumination that
caught it's tints from the border land.
One morning she said to her daughter:
