August 81, 1897.
At a meeting Of the Board
| of Trustees of the Western
Hospital for the Insane, held
in the superintendent of
flee, August 81, 1897, the
following resolutions were
passed:
At this, our first meeting
since the death Of our coll
league, the Hon. John W.
Wilkes, we hereby place on
record our sincere regret at
his death and our estimate of
his worth and usefulness.
His connection with this
Board since its organization,
his care for the well being of
the Institution, his useful
ness and value as a member
of the Board, and our high
estimate of him as a man and
an associate, impel this mad
equate expression of the loss
we have sustained by his
death.
The deep interest he man.
Tested in all matters of pub
lie concern, his faithful dis
charge of every duty imposed
upon him in bis capacity as
private citizen or public SER
want, have been best illus
trated by his deserved sue
cess in all he undertook.
Kindly in disposition, quick
to conclude, correct in his
| Judgment and firm in his
convictions, he was tolerant
of the course and conclusions
Iof those who differed with
him. His was not a selfish
life. He gave freely of his
possessions and his acquire
ments, and enjoyed both
most when shared with his
friends. A man so constitu-
ted must of necessity become,
as he became, prominent
among his fellows, and his
death, therefore, leaves {
blank not easily filled.
AS his associates in this
Board, we deplore his loss,
and will ever miss his pres.
ence and his counsel, and we
extend to his family oul
heartfelt sympathy in this
sore affection.

says he was up all the night before,
and had fallen asleep, and as they
were going down a slant, Mcclure
jumped from the surry. johnson
fired on him. The report of the

darkness for them to undertake a
search, so they returned to White
vile and rested their tired bodies,
while Somerville was out looking
for the remains of the Doctor.

Half dozen happy-spirited
workers are worth a whole regiment

Don't sour on everything that is
around and about you. Don't be
crape-machine and make a funeral
procession of your life. Don't creep
into gloomy shadows like mOles and
bats. The best workers never grum-
BILE, and grumblers seldom work.
Get on the sunny side of life. The
sunny side of a hill is the most
pleasant. The sunny side of house
is the most pleasant to live in. Look
out for sunny sides. Remember that
no one has ever yet found the world
just what he would like it. Half the
time and strength spent in growing
would very often set things right.
Don't try to get hold of the prickly
side of everything, to run against
all the sharp corners and unpleasant
things. Break up the stagnation
of your life; cultivate the social
traits of character until your whole
being shines forth in bountiful sun
light. Exchange.
