Mrs wolfe's grief was on account Of
the death Of her dearly beloved mother.
Il was In June that relief came to the
older woman, who had suffered from
painful illness for months. and the
younger was never herself again.
After her death her funeral was de-
layed several days in order to enable
the doctors to definitely decide upon
the cause Of her death. II is not often
that heart break operates so slowly.
Usually il causes death in few hours,
II not instantly.
While heart break comes from deep
grief sometimes, though not often, it
comes from great Joy.
One Of the saddest deaths that might
properly be spoken of as due TO a
brokenaheart occurred on Sept I, ten
years ago, in Cadiz Ohio. The victim
was Miss Alice MeCiba, a young and
exceedingly intelligent girl of a
rather nervous temperament She
was engaged to marry James Nash, a
young man OF the neighborhood- He
was given to joking, and, as is often
the case with persons who con-
slider themselves born humorists
he sometimes carried his fun to
foolish extremes On the Satur-
day evening prior to his sweetheart's
death Young Nash called upon her ac-
cording to his weekly custom Dur
ing the entire evening he allowed his
rather clumsy wit full play. When
he was ready to go, after kissing the
girl goodnight, he turned suddenly
and said:
well, Alice, / guess / won't come
10 see YOU again We've had good
time playing engaged, haven't we?
Wen be friends all our lives now, but
that's all"
Alice looked searehingly in his face
and then sank to the floor in spasm.
Nash tried to undo the effects of his
cruel words, which were spoken who'll
liz in Joke, but unavailingly Then he
called for help Doctors were sum.
moned and every effort was made to
revive her Once she seemed to be re-
covering, but the favorable symptoms
were but momentary, and spasm sue
ceeded spasm for thirty.six hours,
when she died.
Nash remained by her side to the
last in perfect frenzy Of remorse.
and 1t was feared for time that he
would lose his reason because of the
frightful effect of his thoughtless
words.

was made known: Miss Park gave
general satisfaction as teacher of the
Memphis school, and for the first
fortnight appeared to every body to
be a young woman of great personal
vivacity. One night. on her return
from the schoolhouse to her home

mother noticed that her daughter was
very disconsolate- She told her
mother the cause of her depression.

bring herself TO return to the school
