husband, Emory j. Chase.
Twas February the twenty-frst.
The golden rays DER hills did burst;
Just as they kissed the closing day,
A voice called my love away.
Our home was sweet, twas pleasant,
fair,
No harshness, discord entered there;
But soon that voice in whispering
tone, OK
Babe husband, father journey h9giSl
At first little Fronia did not weep,
She said, my papa is asleep;'
But Sunday eve tears trickled down,
They've put my papain the ground!'
One year has passed away sissee then,
But oh, long it seems to'vesNias
That face we loved, that voice sassEslet,
My soul doth long once moEeato greet.
God saw that one surrounded by
The cares of earth and thistles high;
He thought it bestto take to heaven,
The preciousebaQn o'fondly given.
My Emory dear could thou but see
AS oftmgthoughts are placed on thee;
A longing-Fises in my heart,
That causes bitter tears to start.
This.life is sad but need say
For thou didst pass along this way;
Thou .know'st the pangs one year can
bring,
But none as this had such a sting.
Yet Christ my Lord hath paved the
street,
All through this world for weary feet;
You've stood the test and entered
there,
I'm longing now with you to share.
Methinks I see you at this hour,
Bathed in the Son'srefreshing shower;
Of heavenly bliss and joy untold,
Forever sheltered from the cold.
l hope by faith and prayer to rise,
In that bright world beyond the skies
And with you in pure robes of white,
To praise our God both day and night.

MR.. EDIToR:-With your consent |
will use little space in your paper
this week, for the purpose OF ex-
pressing our sincere gratitude to our
kind friends in and around Tenn
peranceville for the manifestation of
kindly feeling and goodwill from
them last Friday night in the form
of pounding The articles brought
by them are too numerous to men
tion. 1t is sufficient to say, that they
were many and exceedingly helpful
to us as housekeepers, and very en-
couraging to us as workers together
with them in the cause of our Re-
deemer. Among the many gifts was
found a five dollar note from a good,
large hearted brother upon whom |
earnestly pray Gods blessing to
abide. We are with kind and pleasant
people. May the peace Of God and
the benediction of heaven be album
dainty shed upon them. And may l
be enabled to serve them more faith
fully than ever before, is my earnest
wish and most ardent desire. Thanks
sincere and true to every donor and
blessings on them.

MR.. EDITOR Let me use the

my thanks to my friends for their
manifold kindness. Before Xmas,
friends at Horntown tried to see
how many good things they could

me down. On New Years night"

pounding never saw SO many peo-

know how to do it. Some two weeks

polite bow-thank you.
Yours sincerely,

Bush City is one of the greatest
cities in the state. 1t is liberal in
its inducements. 1t offers more
room on which to build than any
other city in the state.

people do, but every grown up man
will say that our church gatherings
should not be disturbed, and yet,
some of these same persons will al

right to allow this, fathers, for will
they not, in turn, become violaters

our land, when they have been vio-

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to
know that the very best medicine
for restoring the tired out nervous
system to a healthy vigor is Electric
Bitters. This medicine is purely
vegetable, acts by giving tone to
the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kid
neys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities of the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appe.
tite, aids digestion, and is pronounc.
ed by those who have tried it as
the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC
and $l.OO per bottle at Gus Graves

A good rain would be thing
much needed.
Sabbath school at the church
every Sabbath at 10 a. m. Come
out and help make it interesting.
Next Saturday lis Decoration day.
We wonder how many are going
to decorate-we have not heard it
mentioned yet.
Our township, we are glad to
note, is going to have better roads
soon, for it has just received a car
load of culvert tiles, which have
been distributed among the several
road districts. This is good thing,
and a saving to the township, as
they Will not rot out ana need re-
placing. Our township board is
wide awake to the interests of the
township.
The quiet of one of the citizens OF
our town, the last lew nights, has
been disturbed by "spooks," or q

visited says that it came on two
different evenings, flashing a light

Now, that seems strange that we
should lave real live ghost in oui
town. We are informed that parties
who undertake to frighten this per
son must take the consequences.
Boys, "what's the matter with
us?" Can't we organize base
ball club here in this locality? We
surely have the material, and it ii
most time to begin to organize.

MAN UP A TREE!
HE SEES A SNAKE.
Fun at a Baptism.

Last Sunday, several new men,
beers of the Christian church we're
baptized by Rev. White, in the
South Potawatomie, east of the
Earnest school house. A large
crowd of people witnessed the cere-
mony.
Just before the baptism, Clair
Lincoln conceived the idea that If
he should climb into tree which
extended over the water, he could
get a better view of the ceremony,
SO he put the thought into execution
and "shinned" up tree. He got
tired of his position before the bap-
tism begun however, and concluded
to get back to terra firma. Just
as he begun to descend, large
green snake concluded to go up the
tree. Clair was pretty we'll down
the tree before he discovered the
snake. 1t is not known whether
Mr.. Snake saw Clair or not, but, at
any rate, he kept wriggling up the
tree. Clair isn't stuck on snakes
not little bit-so he proceeded to
back up the tree to avoid his snake.
ship, trying all the time to scare
the snake, or by some means induce
him to 60 back to land. This the
snake had no idea of doing, however,
and Clair was compelled to keep on
backing up the tree.
By the time, the whole crowd
was aware of Glars predicament,
and begun to make remarks-such
as, "Where did you get that jag?"
"Do you often have snakes?" care
your snakes always green" etc.
But Clair had no time to answer,
but kept on backing and yelling for
some one to get club and knock
the snake off the tree. One young
man went in search of club, but
he was too slow-the snake kept
gaining on Clair, who finally reach
ed the branches and switched of
, onto limb, breaking off switch
with which to defend himself against
the monster. However, the snake
had no idea of devouring Clair, and
struck out on another limb, acting
as though he merely climbed the
tree to keep Clair company. He
succeeded in soaring Clair to finish,
however, who was now out among
the small branches, bobbing about
over the water.
When the snake crawled out on
another limb, Clair lost no time in
getting down-he slid down as if
the tree had been creased. Then
the baptismal ceremony proceeded.
