The presidents confidence in the no..

The presidents confidence in the peo-
pie was not misplaced. Nor is the con-
fidenee of the people in the president
shaken. The success of the bond issua
has been such demonstration of con-
hdence IN the administration that it ae,
eentuates the contempt in which con-
gress has fallen. The honor and tho
glory OF the occasion belong exclusively
to the administration. The disgraeeful
congress stands apart, covered with
shame. u tiea Observer.

DIGGING FOR GOLD.
4 Peculiar Character Seem Once II,
Awhile In Washington.

Peculiar Character Seen Once fr,
Awhilo In Washington.
An old man entered leading hard
ware store in Washington and bought
some blasting powder, says the WASH
1ngton Star. His white hair hung low
upon his shoulders, his beard drooped
lar down upon his breast. He looked
like q veritable Rip Van Winkfe lust
awakened from his slumbers. If is nor
OFTEN that he comes to town, and when
ne does he leaves as soon as his supplies
are purchased. Up in the mountains
the old man has a cabin where he has
lived alone for many years, raising
barely enough corn on the rocky land
ne owns to sustain his existence. For
nall century he has been digging for
gold, and from time to time enough
has been found in little stream near
his cabin to stimulate his search. BIrt
There has never been sufficient for
opening up q tunnel and the old man
has been digging one for SO years. He
works alone, for he is afraid to eonfi9e
ms secret to any man. From morning
until night he digs, and when q rock
is reached that has to be. blasted he
buys all The powder that the mone7
ne can raise will pay for, and when
that Is gone must wait until another
crop can be raised to procure new
supply. The old prospector viii not
live to make many more trips fo Wash
ington and it will probably never be
known whether the waahings Of free
gold he has secured from the stream
came from vein in the mountain
where he has yain1y spent his life or
not. n

In MemOriam.

IL has become my painful duty to chron-
icle the death of Miss Matte, eldest daugh-
ter Mr.. and Mrs. Frank s Kilgour, who
died at her home near Potomac, on We'd
nesday, January 20, aged % years.
Death is sad, but some deaths are sadder
than others When one fingers in pain and
suffering for a long time, only waiting for
the icy hand of death to step from darkness
into light and eternal life, we then feel that
death is relief, but when one so early in
youth is suddenly called from US, il seems
hard to bear; but, however, il is a consola
ton to know what is our loss we hope to be
her eternal gain
Though her sufferings were of short du.
ration, she bore them with patience so meek,
go mild, so humble, as the lamb of God -
II we could have read the secret OF her heart
she would have said: "Not my will, but
thine, Oh Lord, be DONE"
She was loving and obedient daughter,
faithful sister and peaceful schoolmate.
How well do | remember her kindness, ever
ready to assist those who needed her assist.
ance on the playground. | feel that | must
not speak too much of her charitable works,
as her example perhaps can speak palmer
than words | may say too much, or may
not say enough, but can readily say that
she was ready and willing to assist TO the
utmost OF her power in all things, both
spiritual and temporal-who always had an
unspcakabIe tenderness for persons, and an
earnest desire for their welfare This shows
she was too good to remain, but was called
to sleep the peaceful sleep which must soon
er or later come to all.
Through this vale OF sorrow watch and
pray that you stray not from the path of
duty, but be ever worker for your eternal
home.
Thou hast gone TO the haven of rest,
Where sorrows are never known,
Still the throbbings of thy breast,
For the seeds ol faith are sown.
Weep not for our departed one,
She is in our Saviour's care,
Never more her soul shall wander
From her heavenly home SO fair
