Senator Beveridge will have the sincere

his bereavement, but only those who knew
Mrs. Beverage can appreciate the loss he
suffers in her untimely death. Her strong,
fine character and clear intelligence, to-

made an unusually engaging personality
and won for her a large circle of friends.
Those who met her casually were attracted
to her, but those who knew her best were
warmest in their praise. Her passing when
at the zenith of her womanhood and with
life at it's fairest is an event full of pathos
where she alone is considered, but the
hearts that mourn will grieve first for
their loss, not hers. Such a woman when
she goes leaves indeed a vacant place.
