ume in a manner worthy the wide
and growing popularity of this
magazine. The Cosmopolitan is
the most superbly illustrated of the

rather above the average. The
leading article is on "Genoa-the
home Of Columbus" written by Murat
Halstead who recently visited the
city, and illustrated from photo.
graphs Of all the principal relics of
the great navigator which remain

It may be OF interest to some of

Monroe Telegraph says
Clark's circus, which exhibited
here and at Bastrop two weeks ago,
stranded at the latter place and scat

came back this way en- route to
Texas and when passing through

Tree Trunks Filled ith Squirrels.

Woodchoppers on DR.. Prices Lenape
farm report that squirrels are very
numerous among the trees. When the
choppers began last fall there were
several acres Of trees standing and the
squirrels were not numerous, but as the
trees were cut, a few at a time, the
little animals were driven from one
place Of refuge TO another until all were
gathered into a small space, and the few
remaining trees are filled with them. A
man who had been working among
them says some of the hollow trees are
packed SO full Of squirrels that the tim
bers creak every time the animals draw
a deep breath.
In the morning when the men 60 out
to work they are met at the railway
tracks by the knowing little animals,
which feel secure because the game
laws protect them at this season. A
gentleman VINO has seen them says that
they do not offer to carry the kettles of
the men, although they do not object to
sharing the contents.-West Chester

Obituary.

Died, at her home, near Sabula, Mo. !,
March 9th, 1892, Mrs. JANE SUTTON,
wife of Jacob Sutton, aged 80 years.
She was taken very sick on the night
of the 21st inst, with a congestive
chill, and, although everything that
willing hands and medical aid could
do, did not relieve her, so on the night
of the 9th her troubled breath ceased
and peaceful rest settled upon her worn
and weary body. During her illness
her sufferings were very severe. She
will be greatly missed by her many
friends, relatives and her church, of
which she was faithful member, but
most of all by her faithful companion
and loving children. She realized be-
fore her death her time had come and
was ready to go, and, as the hour drew
near, she pronounced her blessing upon
her family, one by one, and exhorted
them to meet her in heaven. Though
our hearts are sad and our home lone
ly, we deplCre the loss of such a good
mother, but our loss is her eternal
gain. May the Giver Q. l Good sus-
tain Brother Sutton and family in this
sad bereavement, and at last reunite
them on the shining shore. Relatives
and sympathyizing friends followed her
remains to the Big Creek Cemetery,
where she calmly sleeps by the side of
three grown sons, who have gone be-
fore.
The bosom where | oft have lain,
And slept my infant hours away,
Will never beat for me again,
It's still in death, It's senseless clay.
How many were the silent prayers
My mother offered up for me?
How many were the bitter cares
She felt when none but God could see?
But she is gone, and now in heaven
She sings His praise who died for her,
And to her hand a harp is given,
And she's heavenly worshiper.
o, may / walk the path she choose,
And her | soon again shall see
Beyond this world of sin and woes
With Jesus in eternity.
A FRIEND.
