THE SERVICES BEGIN.
1t was 1926 when the peals of the
huge organ began TO reverberate
through the auditorium, Professor
Daynes rendering a funeral march COM
posed by him especially for the occa-
sion. A hush fell over the great assem-
blage, as if all realized the solemnity
of the hour. Some of the remaining
church officials came in at this point
and took seats on the stands, which
contained the following:
COunselors TO the late President Will

Joseph f. Smith.

AS the strains of Professor Daynes'
march died away President George Q.
Cannon announced the opening hymn:
Thou dost not weep to weep alone;
The broad bereavement seems to fall
Dnheeded and unfelt by none:,
He was beloved, beloved by all.
Apostle Franklin D. Richards then
offered prayer. asking Gods blessing
on the heads of President Lorenzo
Snow. the successor to President Wood
ruff. and especially on the family, who
had been bereft of their father.

their faithfulness TO the presidents

had any feeling in his heart to in1ure

had esDoused. and in his integrity TO

made of the material of W hich martyrs

President Lorenzo Snow was the rext
speaker. lie said he was very much
pleased and delighted to see such a
vast multitude assembled for the our-
pose of honOring President Woodruff.
He had been acquainted With President
Woodruff Cor g. years. a good portion
of that time quite intimately. All that
has been said Of him was fully worthy
of the life which he had led. President
Snow did not feel as some, perha.s.
felt, that the passing of one into an
other sphere of action was 4 disaster.
Such a change had been decreed from
the beginning. There were periods in
the lives of people that were highly
important, and one was the preparation
for entrance upon this sphere Of action
and TO discharge certain duties so as TO
the kingdom of God. President Wood
ruff had fulfilled his calling. His So
journ here upon earth had been as near
perfection as it was possible for man
kind to make it so. 1t was the duty of
every individual TO do all they could
to rectify the mistakes prone TO hu-
mainly. All were born subject to error
and, therefore, perfection could not be
expected of the human family But II
was POSSIBLE for mankind to so order
their lives as to gain for themselves an
eXaltatiOn in the kingdom Of God, ana
to be proud of the record made, when
they were called into another world
President Woodruff had had such an
object in view from his carly manhood.
He had become acquainted with the
gospel of Jesus Christ, and sought TO
live life such as would entitle him to
all the blessings in store for the faith
full. This was satisfaction to his fam
lily. as he had left behind him alN ex-
ample that to follow after would make
of them honored and useful inStru-
ments in the hands of God.

PRESIDENT JOSEPH F. SMITH.

President Joseph F. Smith was the
first speaker. He characterized it as
superfluous for him to attempt to re-
late the historical events which had
entered into the life of President Wood
ruff. He also said it would be unneces-
sary for him to attempt to enlogize
the character and labors of him who
had gone to meet his reward, for the
reason that the people We're all ac-
quainted with it. President Woodruff
was the fourth in succession who had
occupied the exalted position of presi-
dent, prophet, seer and revelator in the
church. 1t was the speakers privilege,
when a child, he said, to witness the
funeral services over the remains of the
first president, Joseph Smith, and TO

dents Brigham Young and John TAYLOR.
ON the death of the president of the
church, the responsibility fell uDon
the quorum of the twelve apostles.
and so it was on this occasion and ever
would be. The quorum of apostles,
said resident Snow, was never as
able TO handle such responsibility as
1t was at the present time. 1t was fully
organized. and the brethren were in
perfect union and accord with each
other, and faithful and devoted to the
trust repoSed in them Presidents Can

of faith and devotion to the cause,

authorities were called TO another

Thurston and the Typewriter.

When the ex. Hawaiian Minister
to the United States, LA. Thurston,
was passing through San Francisco
on his latest expedition from the
one capital to the other, he had in
his possession the original drafts Of
some papers OF State, copies Of
which he desired made by type
writer. To newspsperman whom
he had casually met in business
way about the office OF the Occi-
dental Hotel, he expressed his needs
in this matter.
"All right. I'll take you to steno-
grapher who is reliable" said the
reporter
Then the willy journalist steered
the trusting diplomat to the Office
of a young woman who played all
sorts OF tunes on typewriter. The
interviewer mentioned to this dam
sci, whom he knew personally, the
name of her distinguished patron,
and then went his way, FIRST finding
an opportunity Of whispering in her
ear a few words, unheard by the
island statesman.
"He's good thing" said the dis
respectful reporter, soto uoce. Don't
hesitate to work him for a good
big strike. He has the Hawaiian
treasury behind him!"
A word to the wise proved suf-
ficient, and the documents copied.
Thurston inquired the extent OF his
obligation.

blushingly remarked the fair ANA
nuensis.
Thurston gasped, the work would
have been overpaid by one fourth of
the sum mentioned.
But the diplomat was game, and,
without verbal protest, he began
fishing in his pockets, from which
he produced sundry silver coins,
commencing with dollars and com.
ing down to dimes, before he had
finally accumulated on the type
writer's desk little pile aggregat-
ing fifteen dollars and eighty cents.
The ex-Minister turned his pockets
inside out. They contained not an
other nickel.
"Pll send you the balance by
boy from the hotel" said Thurston,
stiffly.
"Oh, never mind" replied the
affable typewriter, generously. "Tll
contribute that twenty cents to the
cause of good government in Ha-
waii"-S. F. News Letter.

The Shelburne Falls and Colrain electric
road, built principally to carry freight to
the cotton mill at the latter place, has
been very successful the past year. The
earnings of the road last year we're SIP, 900,
of which $4,000 was received from freight,
about 5000 for carrying mail. and the bal
ance for passengers and express. Last
year the road earned interest on its funded
debt and operating expenses. The greatest
need of the Shelburne Falls and Colrain
road now is money to build bridge across
the river and make connections with the
FitchbufE road.
The Greenfield and Turner's Falls street
railway does not carry freight, as its
charter does not allow it, but the road
carries parcels, baggage and exp. ess. The
right to carry express was not operative
till July, but since that time the receipts
from that source have been about $25 a
month. Mail is carried from Greenfield to
Turner's Falls which yields S420 a year.
In round numbers the road ran IT'S, All
miles last year, and collected 742, 900 fares.
The pay roll last year amounted to $4,000.

death amounted to $50, 900, and with this
amount was an assurance of contingent
sum in the nature of an annuity. This
annuity, now in the hands of the college,
