WHAT DOES IT MEANP
Ex-Congressman Case Broderick Is
For Bailey.

The fact that Judge Case Brodericl5

politicians to conclude that Mr.. Brod-
erick is to be the candidate for con-
gressman-at-large to take Bailey's
place.
Mr.. Broderick does not make this
announcement, but it is believed that
such are his intentions

gress when Shawnee was attached to
the district after which Curtis won the
nomination and was responsible for
Broderick being turned out of Office.

ONE BY ONE,

Oh, how they leave ue, the loved and dear one, ''One by one!" The bright and beautiful links are suddenly snapped in friendships golden chain, and we are left lonely and sady i've feel like one who treads alone some banquet hall deserted" :" How the shadows gather around us as the lights go out ''one by oue," from the dear homes we know and lovei The pathway seems lonely to US, we miss the loved ones from our sidel We call their precious names, but they answer not ! They go out from us, and return no more! In lookirg g over a copy of THE BEE, quite recently lone of the first items we saw was notice of the death of eur old-time friend and school teacher, k cas- tus Burr of Daniels Farms. How quickly memory turned over the leaves of our past life, way back to the time when we were schOol-boys, full of life and hope, in the old brown school house at Booths Riu! How we'll and vividly we remem- Der dear MT Burr in those now far, far away years of our early youth. That faithful, loving teacher, and the dear scholars that gathered there in that old school-house, have large, warm place in our heartsl What fond recollectons in our mind, cluster about those golden days in memory! Days of sunshine and joy. We can seem to see our dear old teacher. now, as we write these lines, pursuing his daily duties in the school room. How grandly memory linKs us to the past! Where are the teachers and the scholars of those distsnt years 2 "One by one," many of them have pass ed on to the land 'tteyond the river!' Of those who made up our own dear homes at that time, all are gone, except the writer of these lines What changes in old Booths fill since that time How many have gone to return no more ! There is land where parting is unknown. Death can never enter there! No good bye nor farewell in Heaven. MT Burr was good man, and his old acholar would pay this tribute to his memory. We notice Le was v years of age! How the years have gone by since we met him in that old school houseg May we all so live, that, as we are called home, Fsone by one,' we may enter into those man. sions made ready in our Fathers house on high. How sweet the thought of meeting the loved and dear ones on Ca- nsan's bright shore, in the ''sweet bye and bye." May we all meet in that beautiful home above.-T Rev c. N.
