at 1890 p. m, on Saturday, Nov. 5,
1898, JOSEPH LEROY, born March 18,
1891, son of Alfred w. and Rosa

His remains were laid to rest Sum-
day afternoon in thegraveyard at the
Catholic church near Paramount, Rev.
Father Theolier holding the ritual
services of that church over the coffin,
and a number of friends and relatives
assisting in the last sad rites.
Thus in the short space of a fort
night has this family been called up
on to bury two children, both of whom
were stricken with that terribly fatal
malady, swamp fever, from which
they died after three and two days
illness respectively. Little Leroy was
a handsome, bright boy, Industrious,
affectionate and loveabIe in DISPOSE
ton, and the sorrowing family have
the warm sympathy OF their friends
and relatives in their affection. Let
them take comfort that their innocent
boy is safe and secure from all sorrow
and harm.
Safe near the Great White Throne,
Safe from the storms of life,
Safe from the sin and sorrow
With which Earth-life is rife.

IT Was not until he RuasO-Turkish
war that women IN Russia were allowed
TO bear the tito OF doctor. Although
they were taught in exactly the same
way az men, and the examinations were
exactly the same, they were denied the
degree. They were only allowed to call
themselves learned midwives, without
right to sign prescriptions or to hold any
responsible position in civil or hospital
service. Notwithstanding these ~restric-

when the war broke out with Turkey
tho learned midwives rendered incalcula-
