At Rest.

The peaceful angel of death has in
Vaded another home and taken pre-
cious soul from our midst and left u
home filled with sorrow for the dear
departed. The scene of gloom and
sorrow must come to all, but the hope
and faith Of an endless future where
friends meet their loved departed, dis
pels the gloom and sorrow, which
would be endless despair We're it not
for the precious provisions or an all
wise Creator and a loving and tender
Father who cares for His children.
Ennis d. Ochiltree, the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. Ochiltree, passed to
the scenes beyond to claim his reward,
Sunday morning, surrounded by faith
er and mother, brother and loved
friends. Quietly and peacefully, with
strange and peculiar hush and
silence, loving and tender hands pro-
vided and administered to his COM
forts and wants until the spirit took
its flight. The death pail was spread,
the last kind word was spoken, the
last fond embrace and the tender pres
sure of the hand was given and the
last sweet kiss was pressed upon his
brow; and nothing remained to COM
fort friends as the soul had left earthly
scenes, leaving behind only the tene-
ment of clay, around which clustered
the memories of other days Ennis
was an exemplary young man Of good
habits and spotless character, and
had wide circle of fond friends who
mourn his departure to the spirit
home. He had spent the past year
and half in the mountains of the
West, hoping to find relief from CON
sumption. His father went out to see
him about a month ago and returned
home with him last Wednesday. Sun
day morning death came. He re-
manned fully conscious to the last and
knew that he must bid farewell to
loved ones and leave the fond scenes
of happy childhood dreams. The fun
eral was held Tuesday, conducted by
Rev. J. H. McSaran of the Christian
church. The many friends of the de-
parted and bereaved ones were present
to pay the last token of respect, to

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her

highly recommended and sent and got
bottle at once. 1t proved to be one
of the very best medicines we ever had
in our house. 1t saved my little daugh-

The Company stood It.

On one Of the trolley lines leading to
a we'll known amusement park they
have system whereby the cars are
stopped at certain points to allow uni
formed inspectors to count the pas
sengers, presumably as check on the
conductors. Among the passengers on
the car was a well dressed young fell
low with penchaut for cracking
jokes at other peoples expense. When
the car stopped for the count up, he
had lot of.fun thrusting jibes at the
inspector, the conductor and the troll
ley company people in general. Final
ly, just as the car was about to re-
sumo its journey, he called out:
''Say, Mister Inspector, you missed
me-"
The inspector turned and looked the
young fellow over very carefully.
"Humph!" he retorted. 81 guess the
company can stand it. I didn't miss
much"
Then everybody laughed, the young
fellow got red in the face, the motor
man turned on the current, and the
car sped onward.-Philadelph In

speak words of cheer and comfort, and
to share the burden of sorrow and
care and grief. The remains were
laid to rest in Maple Grove cemetery,
witnessed by large assembly of sym
pathizing friends. Another in the
prime OF young manhood is in our
midst no more; voice that was full
of cheer is stilled, face wreathed in
smiles greets loved companions no
more; willing hands are folded across
the motionless form, and an eye full
ness is closed. Over the little mound
of mother earth the green grass will
grow and the flowers bloom in sweet
fragrance, and the father and mother
and brother will live on, toiling pa
tiently, awaiting the call of the Mas
ter, when they can meet and greet the
loved one who rests in peace.

How They Saved Cable Tolls.

Every American travelling abroad
knows that he Is able to notify his
friends in America Of his safe arrival
in Paris by registering his name at one
of the newspaper offices. The names
are cabled over every day and appear
on the following morning in the New
York editions.
This custom struck two smart bust
ness men as being open to large posi-
bilities. One of them goes to Paris
every spring upon business, and, in or
der that the one who remains in New
York should be kept posted as to what
his partner is doing, large amount of
cabling is necessary
In order to economic in this matter,
1t is said that the two partners ar
ranged a cipher, made up of family
and Christian names. Every day that
the partner in Paris transacted some
business he walked into the newspaper
Office and registered there under some
name and address that conveyed to his
colleague in New York an exact idea OF
the progress he was making.
The name, initial and place Of resi-
dence registered represented some item
Of information which the partner in
New York learned next day upon read
ing the newspapers list Of arrivals in
Paris.-Stray Stories.

Good stories Of William Morris are

diary, while they were here, and his
hair was so long and he looked so wild
that the servant who opened the door
would not let him in, thinking he was
burglar"
Morris had a temper, also sound
teeth. Once, in fury, he bit silver
table fork all out of shape. On anoth-
er occasion he hurled fifteenth CEN
fury folio at workman. The book
went through the workshop door. In
his fits of anger Morris would drive his
head against wall or bite deep into
the window frame.
Morris was honestly socialist When
his workshops and their contents were
worth $4,000, he surrendered all prof
It's and took foreman's wages, thus en-
abling the business to pay S1.5O per
week better wages to each man.
Morris began designing wall papers
and decorations by accident, because
he couldn't find any fit to buy. Nor
did he use in designing, except at first,
sad colors. Once he showed rich
customer some bright Hammersmith
carpets.

"But / thought your colors were sub

DR.. Edward Bedloe of Philadelphia,
United States consul to Canton, is on
his way home for a visit. He will prob
ably pass through Paris in time to pay
his respects TO General Harrison, who
sent him as consul to Annoy, China, in
1889. If the two statemcn meet, prob
ably the doctor will recall the gener-
ais rebuke to him during his vacation
When he was in Office.
The doctor was spending a month
or two in Washington and was largely
in evidence in social and political cir
cles. About this time the Gridiron
club gave dinner, and both gentle
men were guests. The doctor told a
few stories early in the evening, and
later on the president made speech.
Il was charmed" he said in his soft,
graceful way, "to hear the clever an
ecdotes from our distinguished consul
to- mean from Annoy" Then he
passed on to other topics, but the doc
tor took the hint. and the next steamer
carried him back to his post.
1t was not the first time that Dr.
Bedloe had experience with presidents
at club dinners. Once President Cleve-
land was a guest at the celebrated
Glover club in Philadelphia, of which
the doctor is a famous wit. The Glow
critics always interrupt their guests
when they rise to speak. Knowing this,
Mr.. Cleveland began:
60 on, gentlemen; l am prepared
for the worst"
There came an instant's pause, and
the doctor cackled: $50 are we."
Wholly Discouraged.

have much of an ear for it at first but

1t was a copy of Virgil which his

first page of the Latin epic for awhile
and then slowly turned the leaf. When
his eyes had gotten down to the middle
of the next page he laid the volume
down with sigh.
Its no use," he exclaimed re-
gretfully.
What is no use?"
my trying to read dialect. And
must say that this thing of teachin'
it in the public schools strikes me as
plaguey foolishness."

An Auful Rlunder.

At a Rosenthal recital in Seattle
young pianist Of considerable social
prominence sat in stage box and fol
lowed the performance by means of
the scores of the several morceaux
which composed the programme. She
was evidently deeply interested, and
stopped at intervals to exchange notes
with companion who sat behind her.
All went beautifully until the artist
came to the last piece, a tremendously
heavy List. In the midst of an intri-
cate passage, the lady, much excited,
rose in her box. holding out the roll Of
music toward the stage. That's
wrong! That's wrong!" she cried.
