Obituary..

Della, daughter of Lewis and Ma
rinda McQuitly, was born June Is,
1873. Reared in a Christian home she
was led to Christ at an early age, and
united with the U. B. Church at Now
rystown, Ohio. From this consecra-
tion to the service of Christ in child
hood she never retracted, but lived a
faithful, consistent life till death.
She loved the Sunday school and Y.
P. G. U. and until deprived by i'll
health was active in all the work of
the church of her choice. She was
married to L. H. Cox, November %,
1895. To them were born two children.
She was to her husband a true help
meet in all of his work, a tender, af-
fectionate wife; to her children, a
loving indulgent mother; to her
mothe, dutiful daughter. But the
disease, which had for sometime af-
hicted her, developed rapidly and the
shadow of death fell upon the happy
home. All that love and skill COM
bined to do proved of no avail. In the
midst of years, activity, usefulness
and affection, the fingers of death be-
gan to disentungle the noble soul of
Sister Cox from it's labyrinth of
earthly bonds, and on Tuesday morn
ing, May /, 1900, the hour of dissolu-
tion came and she was fully aware of
it. Her last utterances were of love
to husband and children, whom God
had given to bless their home, loving
messages to relatives and friends, and
a joyous testimony that all was well
with her soul. Thus passed to the
fellowship of the church triumphant
the ransomed spirit of Della Cox. She
leaves a husband, two children, moth
er, one brother, and many friends to
mourn their loss. Three sisters have
preceded her to the glory world
within the last two years. ~

"What dear old frumps they are,~
Bertha commented to herself. II think
the Amsterdam ladies will ike them.
They just suit this background"
They seemed to, indeed, and got on
better than Bertha, whose youth con-
demned her to subordinate place.
This was not as It was in America,
Bertha reflected, and permitted herself
to indulge in a moment of homesick-
ness, as she sat apart, her glowing
beauty unnoticed by the middle-aged
people who were paying their respects
to her aunt and her second cousin.

other guest" Mrs. Truax said. II

Manderson," she said, addressing
Bertha's aunt, "a young man who ia

The man at the door announced
moment later:
"Herr Van Brunt."
Bertha turned with an anticipation
which she endeavored to subdue. II
was not likely that the son Of q
gardener would be at the home Of
Mrs Truax. But in the young man
who entered Bertha saw with unmis-
taxable recognition the amiable, soft
eyes, the round face and high brow,
and the quiet, kindly manners of her
old friend, borne with the assurance
and ease that come of self-confldence.
The hostess managed to whisper to
Bertha's aunt-and of course Bertha
overheard
"This young man has distinguished
himself in landscape gardening. He
has just laid out park for Prince
Zagenwell, and is much thought Of
both in Holland and Germany. hear
that the duke of York is likely to send

reverence of manner! He was pre-

led up to Bertha, who suddenly felt

mony.

the hostess. They explained. The
hostess turned in some perplexity to
the spinster aunt. She wondered If she
had unintentionally committed an in
discretion. But there was no annoy
ance in the face Of the elder Miss Man
derson, and the hostess felt at liberty
to permit the two young people to 20
down to dinner together.
The conversation at dinner would
not be particularly interesting to re-
count. But Bertha remembered every
word of it. Perhaps Dominicus Van
Brunt did too-but 1t has been i'm
possible to secure his confidence. It
is certain thing, however, that the
next day basket came for the young
American lady containing a dozen yell
low tomatoes, dropped like eggs in a
nest of white daisies. Which was, sure
ly, curious gift!
Now it is undeniable that Bertha
Henderson found Amsterdam interest
ing, yet for some reason best under
stood by her sex she remained in it
but a short time, fastening away to
other points of interset. 1t is also
certain that about the time of her de-
parture a young landscape gardener
ran to yews and weeping willows in
his designs, and accepted with alacrity
the opportunity of designing ceme-
terry for some new American town.
But he recovered from his gloom when
there reached him from the shores of
the Baltic trinket fashioned of lucent
amber, shaped like a yellow tomato.
1t occurred to him that he ought also
to visit the storied beaches of the
Baltic, and he did so without an hours
unnecessary delay.
And the consequence was, as the
children say when they play the old
game, that when Miss Bertha Mander-
son returned to America she wore for
an engagement ring a tomato-shaped
topaz on her third finger.-Chicago

DON'T SAY THAT !

certain bird "sets her off," She walks

millions of birds have been slaugh-

exageration to say that in whatever
part of the world beautiful birds are
found there will be found also the
