p IOr family in lola, so the REGISTER

A Noble Example.
NeOdeshd Register; The lola REG
IsTER of yesterday pays an eloquent
tribute to the memory of DR.. Seth
Tozer, foster father of Mrs. Ruth
Johnson and brother of DIR. l..
Tozer of this city. Mr.. Tozer and
wife never had any children of their
own but they went out from beneath
their roof and adopted and reared ten
orphan children whose prayers and
blessings will follow them and be part
of their reward in their future home
of bliss. What contrast such be-
nevUlence as this affords to other
childless couples who allow their mis-
fortune to make them selfish and
miserable.

needs is a pair of skates and girl and

lola.

nal

the people there appreciate it's efforts. |
