ADrecious one from us is gone
\ voice we loved is Stilled,
\ space is vacant in our home
That never can be filled.
Dear Nernie, we miss her smiling face
Her fond and loving care,
Our house is vacant without her
We miss her everywhere.
And while our eyes are weeping
And our hearts are heavy with pain,
We would not chafe at the chasten
ing hand,
Nor wish her back again.
NO fears or storms can disturb her,
Nor Break her calm repose;
Tranquil she sleeps in her narrow bed
Under the blooming rose.
Today as we stand at the new-made
grave
And in sorrow turn away,
There breatheS in our hearts, like a
voice from heaven,
She will wake at the crowning day."

But angels loved her more,
And they have sweetly called her
To yonder golden shore.

God did ask for to love and keep.

And took little VERNE by the hand.

ring of ytrility and common sense about it,
and our Commissioners should enforce its
execution, If We are to be spared from a,
recurrence of a recent Sundays depiorably
ia tai street car accident
That street car fare entities one to a
seat, and not to the privilege CD of stand
iEg; of having ones favorite corn trodden
upon, or of being packed like sardines in a
box, especially on a sloppy, rainy day,
should be to most sane minds self evident
proposition; but the existence of our pres
ent genuinely uncomfortable and bsrbarous
manner Of travelling In overcrowded cars
Is due, primarily, to the public in toleratlng
such an abuse, and secondly to the utter
disregard for private rights evinced by
sordid, graspins, monopolistic street car
companies, who will never meet public de-
nands and conveuieuces until a long-suf-
fering people literally carries out the prirl-
ciple involved IN no seat, no fare" Let
the public insist upon having more cars
run for their accommodation and the whole
difficulty will solve itself in quick order
