Life.
Life, believe, ia not n dream
so dark a. sages say;
OFT a little morning ray
Foretells 81 pleasant day:
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
But these are transient oil;
If the shov er will make the roses bloom,
o why lament fs falli
Rapidly. merrily,
LIES sunny hours fit by;
Gratefully, cbeeriiy,
Enjoy them as they fly.
What though death at times steps in,
And calls our best away;
What though sorrow seems 10 win
Ger hope n heavy sway:
Yet hope again elastic springs.
UncOnquered though she fell:
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
still strong To bear us we'll.
Manfully, fearlessly,
The day o! trial bear.
For gl0riously, victoriously,
Can courage quell despair.

She had little of earthly beauty,
She had less of earthly lore;
She climbed by q path so narrow,
such wearisOme burdens bore.
And she came, with heart atremble,
TO the warder at heavens door.
And said. There were hearts OF heroes
She said, There were hands of might:
Ihad only my little childrens
That called 10 mt day and night;
i could only soothe their sorrows.
Their childish hearts make light"
And she bowed her head in silence,
she hid her face in shame;
When, ont from % Dlaze or glory,
A form majestic came;
And, sweeter than all heavens music,
LO some one called her name.
Dear heart. that hath self forgotten.
That never its own has sought,
Who keepeth the weak from falling,
To the Kin hath jewels brought.
Lo. h thou hast done for the children,
For the Lord himself has wrought"

JAILER WAKEMAN ". WELLS SUDDEN
 DEATH.
 Last Monday morning, about 10.30, Jailer Wells went out to the stable to get into his wagon to go down town on bus ineSs. Just as he was getting into the wagon, the spirited horse which he has recently driven with much pleasure, started suddenly, throwing him to the hard concrete driveway. The horse ran, striking a post, cleared itself of the wag- on and was finally caught. The employees quickly picked up the unconscious jailer and carried him into his apartments, and medical aid was summoned. But despite all efforts he never regained conscious ness and breathed his last about 1.30 D. m. His son was notified in New York of the accident, but did not arrive until his father had passed away. Mir Wells had a host of friends and was a favorite with all the prisoners. He leaves widow and one son. His estate is valued at about $50,000.

The large circle of friends that filled the Methodist church to attend the funeral services conducted by the pastor, assisted by Rev William Cogswell on Tuesday, May 16, testified to the high esteem in which she was held. Her remains were borne to Oak Lawn cemetery for burial. Messrs Sherwood Banks, John Ferris, Nelson Raymond and Burr Wood acted as bearers.

A DISAGREEABLE FIRE,

Early last Sunday morning fire was discovered in the new banking building of James Staples d Co.,, corner of Court and State streets. The fire department quickly responded and after hard quick fight, the flames were extinguished. The actual loss will probably amount to $l500, but the entire loss cannot be re- covered. James Staples & Co.,, had but | recently moved into their new offices in which money had not been spared in re- gard to. finishing both woodwork and wall decorations, also desks, furniture and costly vault. Nearly every pane i of glass was cracked. Desks, railings, office furniture,and all wood and wall 1 decorations are entirely ruined. The inconvenience of having all this work torn out and replaced during business hours, cannot be covered by insurance During last Sunday carpenters and | laborers worked hard, and on Monday. ! it was opened, and business was trar- sacted as usual.
