LOVING TRIBUTE

In memory oflittle Mack Frank
lin Scovil only son of Mr.. and Mrs
John Scovil died of tonsilitis near
Moulton Inst. Nov, 18Th 1894, age
4 years 6 months and 9 days.
Death came with friendly care and
claimed for its victim this precious
treasure who was the joy and sun
shine of home. Sick only a short
time and all that loving hands
could do to relieve his suffering was
done. But God saw fit to pluck
this young life from this sinful
earth to bloom in eternity. 1t was
so hard for the loving mother and
devoted father brothers and sisters
to give up this promising child, but
he has gained heaven. His foot
steps are no longer heard, the pratt
tie the merry laughter and sweet
voice that once sent thrill of glad
ness through our hearts is still in
death, The vacant chair around
the freside all bespeak the absense
of this cherished idol bringing sad
ness and tears. Weep not God

A CLOUD BURST.

The storm Sunday morning re-
sembled cloud burst more than
an ordinary rain storm. A heavy
dark cloud came up from the north
east about sunrise accompanied by
sharp tightening and heavy thun-
der. The gale of wind preceded the
storm after which the Heavens
opened and for about two or three
minutes the rain decended in floods
Hail also fell heavily. The streets
and creeks were flooded. The rain
only extended to the bridge south of
town. AT the sheep ranch only O
few drops of rain fell while west of
town Monday it was too wet to
pillow. The writer was talking to
H B Woodley Monday about the
rain and remarked sit looks like it
tried to drown you all yesterday

ly thoughtfully, but 1 wish it

knows best" where your treasures
are you heart will be also,
Lift your hearts Heavenward and
meet little Mack on that Beautiful
shore where he is watching and
waiting at the gate to welcome
you where parting is no more; one
sweet thought whore kindred ties
are never broke and sorrow is un-
known.
Jesus loves the little children
He has borne Mack DER the flood
And has laid your treasure safely
In the bosom of our God,
To your heart take this comfort
Unto you in honor given
Blessed is that earthly parent
Who can claim child in Heaven.

it was very near twice as much.
IfJean was in the meal business he

WASHINGTON, April 2G.--Minister Ku-
rino of Japan today gave the Associated
Press very significant interview on the
eastern question. He said that in his
opinion the commercial interests Of the
United States in the east, particularly in
Japan, are so much more extensive and
important than those of Germany and
France that it would be desirable, in the
event Of Franco German alliance with
Russia to prevent the consummation of
a peace treaty, for the United States to
take an active part in otise,ting such an
alliance. Kurino wished it clearly un-
derstoOd that he had not received any
instructions from his government and
that there had been no suggestion of an
official Or unofficial character from him
to tho state department that the United
States should be enlisted in its support.
His views were the result of his personal
observation OF the extent Of the United
States interests in the eaft. kurno

Chinas procrastination or foreign inter

peace agreement. "Then," he replied
