that the market for really worthy speci.

slant as the rising and the setting of the
sun. 1t is only the common stuff that
drops out Of sight in periods of general
depression. There has never been a
time in our experience when outstand-
ing quality and merit met with quicker
recognition than now. The man who
breeds horse, . bull, sheep or a hog
that clearly overtops the average of the
breed Is absolutely certain of a good
price for such product Of his skill. Do
not mistake depression in culls and
weeds for lack Of activity In "tops."

Again the shadow of the wings of the
Death Angel has fallen upon our COM
munity A tender little blossom has this
time been taken from among us. Bessie
Brier, only child of Prof. w. ]. Brier,
died Tuesday morning of meningitis, af-
ter an illness of about three weeks. At
ter brief services at the residence, the
sorrowing parents left yesterday after
noon for Plymouth, Wis, their former
home, where the remains will be in
tered. They were accompanied on their
sad journey by Rev. J. II. Avery, as a
representative of the Masonic Lodge of
this city. Regent Ainsworth and other
friends accompanied them as far as Still
water Junction. The heartfelt sympathy
of the community was most beautifully
expressed by the exquisite floral tributes
that filled the house with their perfume.
Rarely is child 80 universally and SO
widely loved as was Bessie; her loving
little heart and her sweet nature en-
deared her to all who knew her. To her
teachers, her loyal devotion was never
failing help and inspiration. Her play
mates loved her with all their hearts;
her generous consideration for them, and
her watchful care for the younger ones,
were remarkable in child of only nine
years. Her older friends will miss no
less the bright face and the quaint, al
most old-fashioned little ways which
made her so companionable to them. OF
the terrible loss in the home circle, who
shall venture to speak? There it is ir-
reparable There alone is it fully appre-
ciated. We would not invade the sa-
credness of this home further than to
assure the stricken parents that we
grieve with them. Especially is this
true of the faculty and the students of
the Normal School, where both Prof.
Brier and little Bessie are so well-known
and well-beloved
If a pebble droppe into the sea sends
thrill around the world, if a whispered
word is carried by the trembling ether to
the uttermost shores of eternity, who
can estimate the worth and the influence
of such life, short though it be?
