5A, DARLING, WHEN YOU LOVE Me

Oh, darling, when you love me
The Sky is soft and bright,
Life asks no troubled question;
The world is safe and right;
Whisper happy secrets
With every flower and tree,
And lark and thrush and linnet
Sing all their songs for me.
Oh, darling, when you ehide me
The world is numb and cold;
Tho mists creep up the valley
And all the year is old.
The fields are black and sodden;
The ahivering woods are sere;
Isee no face in heaven,
And death is very near.
Oh, darling, always love mel
The song birds look TO you;
The skies await your bidding
To dbme the world with blue.
Then keep the rose In glory
And make the swallow stay
And hold the year forever .
At summers browning day.

The Utility of the Pretty Girl.

The pretty girl is a universal factor in
modern life She possesses the advantage
not only of ornament, but of utility. She
has been utilized in an endless variety of
ways. She has become a bowling success
in the operatic bullet, andis as conspicuous
and as original in front of typewriter or
behind counter as she is on dress parade
in Il new spring suit or luxuriously lolling
In big easy chair. But it has remained
for an enterprising Connecticut minister
Of the gospel to introduce the pretty girl
in new sphere as church usher, Detroit

such elaborate and magnificent scale
that description can only serve as crude
outline of the reality. One attracting
feature OF America" is that the per-

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease. and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a

IN MEMORIAM

Mrs. Sarah Sowerd Jones died ct the
residences of her daughter, Mrz. John
Carthew, Tuesday evening at 7 O'Clock,
May Is, 1898, Lancaster, Wis.
Deceased was born in Maysville, KY.
in the year 1918; she moved to Spring
field, ILL.,, in 1888, and was married to
John R. Jones in 1888. Moved to
Potosi in 1910, where she resided until
within the past few years when she
took up her residence permanently with
her daughter.
Mrs. Jones was one of family of 10
children. She united with the Metho-
dist church at the early age of 16 years
and the beautiful consistency of her
daily life, all though the long years,
was truly an example of christian love
and submission
Hers was grand and noble nature;
a nature which rose above the Difficult
ties aud trials, that burdened her path
way in the earlier years of her life, and
made of her, one of the most gentle and
patient of women.
Her unassumiDg piety, her kindly
consideration for others-especiall
those whose sorrows touched her loving
heart, stamped her Christian in the
trUest acceptat;on of the term.
The last years spent with loving
daughter, was blessing to the aged
mother. May the remembrance of
those years so fraught with loving deeds
and kindly acts. be the daily inspiration
to the loved ones who mourn her loss.
We have the deepest sympathy for
one other daughter, Mrs. Aleck Mozart
ney of Denver, COL, whose Ill health
prevented her attendance at her
mothers bedside.
The funeral services were conducted
at the house, Friday afternoon at 2
O'Clock, by Rev. P. H. Mason of the
Congregational church and Rev. H. d.
Smith of the M. E. church. A large
audience assembled in honor of this
most estimable woman, whose beauty
of countenance even in her old age,
revealed deeper beauty of character.
Not dead, but gone before,
An soothing words to greet the sorrow
ing ear.
Waiting the coming on that heavenly
shore
OF loving friends who meet to part no
more.
And angel voices near
Doth mingle in the song
OF praise to Him, who doeth all things
WELL
And at thy coming, joyfal notes pro-
long
Thy welcome mother. mid the heaven
~ throng
Where peace forever dwells.
Thy cold and lifeless clay
Lies calmly resting in the silent tomb
But in the glory of eternal day,
Thy gentle, loving spirit dwells for age,
Where flowers immortal bloom.
A FRIEND.
