OBITUARY..
Louis Frederic Hight.
ceSSiOn.

Louis Frederic Hight, whose sudden
death occurred on Monday at his home in
Deering, was a young man of exceptional
promise and most lovable character
Genial, courteous and manly, he enjoyed
the sincere affection of all who knew
him.
He had returned during the past winter
from Montana, after an absence from
Portland of two years, and was enjoying
deeply the reunion with his home friends.
among whom he had found cordial well
come.
He had been of the class of 1897, in the
Portland High school previous to his de-
parture for the west, and while in Mon
tana he had continued his study at the
university in Helena. On his return he
engaged in business, and carried into the
exacting routine of his duty the same en-
thusiastic earnestness that characterized
his effort in his study and recreation.
Thus the story of his life is short one
the love of those dear to him, the friend
ship of his friends, the glad activity of
youth, and it's earnest effort-that is all:
but it is story that those who knew him
at all will long remember, and that those
who knew him well will never forget.

A sick person trying to keep up on mere
stimulating tonics is like any one pretend
ing to swim while supported by belt. The
instant the support is withdrawn down
you go.
Nearly all diseases result from a deep
seated impairment Of the nutritive powers
which cannot be reached by any temporary
exhilaration. The only good that any med
icine can do is to increase your own natural
powers of recovery and make you able to
swim for yourself
The debilitating weakness, nervousness
and digestive disorder which indicates this
state of mal-nutrition can only be overcome
by a scientific remedy like Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery which acts di-
Iectly upon the digestive and blood-making
organs and effects the nutritive transforma-
fion of food into rich, healthy blood, which
carries genuine permanent vitality to every
corr er of the system.
1t is vastly more nutritious than malt
extracts. 1t does not paralyze the nerves
but feeds them with health. 1t is better
than cod liver oil emulsions. II is assiui-
lated by the weakest stomachs. It does
not make fabby useless fat but muscular
strength and healthy nerve-force 1t is the
only perfect invigorant for corpulent people.
Mrs. Ella Howell of Derby, Perry Co., Ind,
writes: In the year of 1894 was taken with
stomach trouble-nervous dyspepsia. There was
a GOODNESS in my stomach, and a weight which
seemed like rock. Everything that ate gave
me great pain; had a bearing down sensation;
was swelled across my stomach; had a ridge

His TRIUMPH.

Alone in his little bare room, Hart
zell was playing softly. telling the
story over to himself for the hund-
redth time. 1t seemed almost too
good to be true, and he could scarce
ly realize that his opportunity had
come at last, and that which he had
longed for all his life had happen
ed in his old age.
1t was really only triling Incl
dent, the lndisposition of the great
soloist and the substitution OF Hart
zell, but to the broken down little
man it 81 sned ths entering wedge OF
future fame, and the melody he was
playing that afternoon thrilled with
triumphant promise.
His life had been almost pathetic
in its uneventfulness, marked by only
one distinguishing characteristic, his
love for music. Ever since the first
remembered days, when he stood
shivering on the street corners and
played uncomprehendingly to an un-
comprehending audience, his violin
had been his only real friend, listen
ing to him, speaking to him, in sym.
pathy with HIM always.
Among men he had been failure,
his abstraction of mind, together with
an extreme difidence, rendering
him unfit both to follow and to leud.
Within himself he might lay plans
for vigorous action, for forcing the
world to recognize the genius which
he knew was his, but when the time
for action came he always shrank and
waited until it was too late.
And so the dreams of his young
days had never matelialized, and he
was still almost where he had begun,
an unidenti6abIe part of that grea,
whole, the grand orchestra of the
Hyperion.
Never at ease in the company o.

the first part of the meeting, and then
left.
Last Saturday, this young nan
came again and stayed through the
entire service. In the after meeting
he bowed in agony before God. We
pleaded for this soul. He confessed
his sin, and cried for pardon. Peace
came, and he thanked God for this
noon hour and asked for strength to
walk the narrow way. as he went to
his labors, so fraught with temptation
for him, so full of danger to one who
was SO weak. He is press reporter,
and often on duty until four or five
o'clock in the morning.
Subsequently we learned that the
seed sown many weeks before had re,
mained in this heart. When he went
out from Willard Hall the first time
he purchased Bible, bad tried to
follow its teaching, but the drink was
the curse of his life.
