TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
In Memory of Mrs. Geo. P. speight.

In Memory of Mrs. Geo. p. Speight
With sad hearts we, committee OF
Graves Station Sunday school, enter
upon the work of paying the last tribute
of esteem to our DEVOTED friend and SIS
ter Nettie B. Speight. 1t is sad to
chronicle the death of any one, from the
fact that it brings sadness TO some heart,
hut the death of our dear friend sends
the gloom f sOrroW to the heartsot our
entire community that is deep and last
ing; and this fact is plainly noticeable as
friend meets friend, and with tear be
dimmed eyes they speak of the many
virtues of our beloved fri end.
In the school rooGl she was firm yet
patient and aifectionlte, and often would
she fold her arms tenderly about the
timid child and move him into self-con
fidence and higher ambition.
As a church member she was faithful
and true, ever ready to perform any work
assigned her by her church or pastor,
standing in the front rank battling tor
the principles that tend to the elevation
of fallen humanity. Although our hearts
are sad from the loss of a dear friend,
vet we can rejoice when we think of her
exen plary life and triumphant death.
We would not recall her from her place
among the heavenly christians.
70 the bereaved husband we would
say: 'Be of good cheer" your loved one
is waiting for you in a happier cline
than this. Many silent tear has been
shed in pure sympathy for you. Your
Nettie's Christ has led her to that bliss
full home, and He lis ready to lead you in
the same unerring way; therefore,
Res lived LIST, That we, the church and
Sunday school, do mourn our loss and
humbly cow to the mysterious dispense
ton of Gods providence in taking from
our midst one so young and full of prom
Use. and trust that her bright, sunny dis
position may be cherished by each one
of us.
Resolved 2ni That we hereby express
our heartfelt sympathy to the stricken
family in this deep affection, and though
the cloud be dark may they feel that
"God doeth all things
Resolved 3rd, That as Sunday school
we have lost a faithful teacher; she WI S
ever ready to do her whole duty. Let
us, therefore, pray the Lord or the har
vest that he will raise up Others to take
her place equally as active and Jealous.
Resolved 4th, That these resolutions
be recorded on the church book and a
copy furnished her beloved pastor, her
bereaved family, also copy furnished
the Advocate and The DAWSON NEWS
and request them to publish same. Read
and adopted by the sunday school De-

PRESIDENTIAL TALK.
A STORY THAT COMES FROM WASH
INGTON.
Carlisle as a Presidential Candidate With
Ris Financial Scheme as Platform.
Cleveland's Designs.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 11.-During
the past few days there has been much
talk about the ca o,to1 he etfe that Mr..
Cleveland will put forward his secretary
of the treasury, Mr.. Carlisle, as his can
didate for the next democratic ipresiden-
tial nomination. Whether lbe tue or
not il is certain that the friends of the
secretary of the treasury have already
commenced to boom him for the next
nominee with his financial scheme as the
platform. They say that on it the peo-
pie of the entire country can unite, and
that it will prove winning policy.
There are, however, those who believe
that Mr.. Cleveland expects to succeed
himself as the nominee of the party, and
that he is simply booming MI. Carlisle
for time to Sc how it will take with
the country. Until he finds just how
the new financial scheme is received by
the country he wants Mr.. Carlise to
shoulder it. If it takes then he will have
no difficulty in robbing his secretary of
the credit and turning it all to his own
account. In other words, if it is a sue
cess it is his; if it is failure, it is
Carlisle's.

behind the counter stiffened his spinal

tones said:

One of the menials outside the coun.

close examination by the customer it
was found that numerous small red ants
were racing over it. He mentioned the
fact to the waiter.

tone, ''ants? Dear, dear!' Then he
called again: John, John, come here.

The monster bear Of Admiralty ISL

source of terror to the settlers in that
locality, was recently killed, and the
Alaska News, of Juneau, gives a long
account Of how the ferocious animal
was made to bite the dust.
A party of Indian hunters was organ

of giant powder, started out for the

was blown into blasted meat. One

When a boy he frequently went into the
bush In quest OF game, and on one Of
these solitary excursions he sat down
to rest In the shade OF a willow, on the
bank of a shallow stream sitting there.
with cheek resting on his hand, he fell
into n boyish reverie. After some time
on the, white, sandy bottom OF the
stream there was stretched a long black
line which had not been there at first.

Pedestrians have some slight protec-

scent Scales Concealed Under Beau

Fritz Muller discovered patches OF
singular scales on the wings Of butter

distinct odors. These scent-scales are
called androconia. An excellent study
by microscopical sections Of the wings
OF some OF our butterflies, by Prof. NJ.
B. Thomas. appears in the American
Naturalist. He shows that these scales
are the outlet of uE!ccliular glands sit

There are three days In the year
which are regarded az red-letter occa-
sions by the lover OF outdoor sports.
These are Memorial Day. May 3o; In
dependence Day, July 4. and Labor Day,
Sept. 3. or these the greatest interest
is centred in Memorial Day, for several
reasons. 1t practically marks the OPEN
ing OF the Summer season OF outdoor
SPORTS, particularly rowing: II comes at
the time of the year when athletes.
oarsmen. cyclists and basebailists are at
home and can participate In the vari-
Gus events, consequently increasing tho
entry lists. Furthermore. among the
entries are always a large number OF
college zen. who are scattered all over
the country when the other two holi-
days arrive And still another reason
why the Memorial Day sports are more
enjoyable Is that the weather Is gener-
ally all that could be desired.
