young men who do not work, my
son, but the world is not proud of
them. 1t does not know their
name, even. 1t simply speaks of
them as Old So-and-so's boys. No
body likes thom, nobody hates
them; the great busy world doesn't
even know that they are there. So
find out what you want to be and
do, son, and take off your coat and
make a dust in the world. The

will be apt to get into, the sweeter
will be your sleep, the brighter and
happier your holidays, and the bet

OBITUARY.

Edgar, SOD of "A. r.. and Jemima
Scott, after an illness of three long
weeks, with inflammation of the kid
lneys, departed this life June 18th,
1899, at the age Of eleven years.
Drs Campbell, Rowsey and Love
did every thing in their power to
restore him, but alas, there was
One, whose will is supreme, had de-
creed otherwise,
Many were the tears shed when
Edgar was laid in the grave at
Moors' Chapel. The funeral was
preached by Rev. Bush, of Glen
wood, from Rev. 14-13: BLESSED
are the dead that die in the Lord,
for their works do follow them
Many little boys have proved faith
full but none surpassed little Edgar
at this age. He was bright and
intelligent child, and would at al
distant day have been noted for
his high standing and ability, had
God seen fit to spare his life. But
alas, he has gone; somewhere sweet
angels are ROBBED in white, into that
land of peace and delight.
Sad was that home indeed, when
the brothers and sisters arrived
Sfom afar and found nolittle Edgar.
Only twelve months have elapsed
zoe his sweet smiling face greeted
~ Ma newsboy, and to this day
his Ndemise causes our hearts to
ache, bat we can only feel for that
Extraordinarily,
I Not onlYSis he missed in the
home circle but in the school room
as well, where he was ever found
at the head of his class, not of equal
years or size, but standing as a.
small sprout by the free grown tree
of the forest, contending for the
prizes that he won. So admirable
is one of which, after the teacher
had written his own name and com
pliments, we find the words, "good-
bye teacher Rowsey," written in
his own eligible hand. The face
of Edgar will ever remain in the
minds of. his teachers and play
mates. Now let us SO live that
when our lives on earth are DER, we
may meet him on the other shore.

CLOSE CALL FOR TRAIN NO.

Obstruction Placed On the Ohio
River railroad Track in

What is believed to have been a

bound Ohio River train No. 2, oc-
CURED this morning in the West
End of this city.
A large coupling pin had been
laid on the rail in the curve just
south of Fourth Avenue Less
than ten minutes before train time
l.. A. Wolcott, proprietor of the
Huntington Bottling Works, was
coming up the avenue when he no.
ticed at distance the obstruction
on the rail and he hurriedly re-
moved same, as he was aware that
No. 2 was then almost due.
How the pin came there is a
mystery. OF course it might have
been dropped from freight train
but the opinion of many is that it
was placed there for the purpose of
wrecking the passenger. AS the
obstruction was directly in the
short curve it would have been al
most impossible for the engineer
to have stopped his train in time
to have prevented an accident. 1t
is certainly fortunate that Mr..
WoIcott passed at the time he did.
