KNOWN AS THE "BLACK LEG loL-

the party, and belonged to that class
to which there was nothing too low for
them TO stOop. That class was never
recognized by the higher and better

IN MEMORIAM.

Miss Gertie Scutt, the only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. S. Scutt, departed
this life on Oct 10Th, 1900, and went
home to Heaven. She was a sweet, af-
fectionate girl. All who knew her
loved her, but no love could stay the
cold hand of Death. 1t seems such a
short time she lived to brighten the
home of her parents, and was called
away to join the Angel Band. We miss
you, dear Gertie, one and all. No more
will thy gentle footstep or sweet voice
be heard. We will see your bright
eyes and smiling face no more. But
we shall meet you in the sweet by and
by, where parting is no more.
Weep not, fond parents, though Ger
tic is gone. You have the sweet com
fort of knowing that she is basking in
the love of our Heavenly Father and
stands beside the pearly gates to well
come you home to the mansions of
eternal bliss
She was Christian girl and leader
in the church and Sunday school work.
Our loss will be great. We can not
say too much of her; but we know that
our loss will be Heavens gain and her
influence will live on. "She being
dead, yet speaketh." Her place can
never be filled with us. While we
meet many friends never have we met
any one that has won our love as
Gertie did. 1t was our privilege to
have personal association with her for
about five years and we know that she
is now in Heaven and we can not weep
when we can realize she is far better
off than she could ever be in this world;
and we too will press hard the battle
that we may be able to say, "Hence
forth there is laid up for me crown
of Righteousness" Her parents have
the heartfelt sympathy in their sudden
bereavement of one who loved her.

Samoa has passed definitely under
German rule, and is now German col
ony. This will put an end to the con-
tinued revolutions and fights which
have occurred in those Islands. There
will be no chance of revolution now,
and the jealousies of the native chiefs,
and of the colonists among themselves,
will be settled forever 1t is a fortu-
nate thing for the Islands, which will
now be able to progress. The political
unrest of Samoa has kept the develop
ment of the Islands back. What they
have always wanted is an undivided
rule under some strong power. The
tripartite control was a thorough fail
ure, which caused the death of some
valuable men, and kept the Islands in
a fever of uneasiness, breaking out oc-
casionally into acts of violence.
