At Rest.

RITTER.-Katie, daughter of R. l.. and Maggie Ritter, was born Nov. 25, 1883. and died Nov. 2s, 1898 Her sickness was long-of six months dura tion, and her death was expect ed at any moment, but still it was such a shock to the grief stricken family. How sudden ly the light, joy and sunshine died out of the home circle when her precious life expired; but how calm was the depart ure! She was not a member of the church, but she said she was a christian and was will ing tc die. No doubt, while she was on her bed of atflictlon, toiling and suffering with pain, she had given her heart to God in prayer, asking him to give her grace to bear her suffering and fit her soul for heaven.
 All was done that could be done to keep her with us, but God claimed her as his own. It was so hard to give her up
 but we feel that our loss IS hel eternal gain; earth has one angel less, and heaven one more. Already, kneeling al the throne, she has received her welcome and is resting or the bosom of her Saviour. She leaves a father, mother, four sisters and two brothers te mourn her loss. Weep not loved ones, she is there waiting and watching for you, and some sweet day you can join hands with her in glory, where there is no more parting nor dying All will be joy and peace ever more.

Two Pointed Questions Answer

What is the use of making a bet ter article than your competitor if you cannot get better price for It?
 Ans. there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be be smaller on single sale they will be much greater in the az gregate.
 How can you get the pubic to know your make is the best?
 If both articles are brought prom inently before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgement on them and use only the better one.
