HIS "TAKE, Is DONE.
Pearl Rowe Lays Aside the Stick and
Rule, His Life Work Finished.

Pearl Rowe, the printer boy, has gone
out from among us forever. About three
O'Clock, Tuesday morning, his soul took
its flight from body wasted with pain
and scorched with fever. We all liked
Pearl. He was a manly fellow, full of
principle and honor, full of earnest good
will for everybody-loyal and kind.
Well never forget him. About six
weeks ago, after vain resistance against
the inevitable, he realized, at the home
of her who was to have been his bride,
that fever was upon him. Pearl had no
home. He was motherless boy. His
affianced and her people begged him to
make their home his home until the
trouble had passed. In spite Of manly
reluctance to throwing himself upon
them as a burden, the fatal disease had
already sealed the question. He could
not be moved. For long, weary nights
and anxious days those loving hearts
fought for his life as if it had been their
own. Every care the tenderest thought
could suggest, every art of gentle nurs.
ing, every power of healing skill were
lavished upon him. Pleading hearts
bore his name to heaven on the wings
of prayer, and, for a while, it seemed
the forces of life would be triumphant.
Hopeful friends rejoiced. But, week
ago, there came change for the worse,
and he never rallied. Perhaps, God
had use for Pearl Rowe some place else.
During the weeks of his last sickness,
he was seldom unconscious. His mind
was remarkably bright. He talked often
of heaven and his mother, whose blessed
| memory he had always cherished. He
pitied those who were troubled by his
distress, and his only impatience was
that they should be longer burdened.
Scarcely twenty-three years of age
with all of hope and happiness before
him. like the bouyant, beautiful ship
fitted for pleasant voyage, his barque Of
life has gone down, ere it cleared the
harbor.
In this sad event our heart goes out il
unfeigned sympathy to the father, bowed
in grief to the brothers in their sorrow
and to that devoted one who lie'
PROSTATE now, under the gloom of thi
awful woe. From her home, this after
noon, we shall follow all that is morta
of Pearl Rowe to that last lowly abode
beneath the spreading branches of tn
| cemetery oaks
