There is an elm tree in front of a
shop at Spencer, Mass. About ten
feet from the ground is bush loaded

Is a mystery. The bush is growing out

by sparrow.

Brookhaven's sympathy for Calves
ton storm sufferers is being expressed
in dollars and cents. Among our jew
ish citizens, the benevolent solicitor,
Mr.. Louis Zwirn, secured S105. At
the instigation of our alert and kindly
Mayor, the Kings Daughters raised
$3.50, both amounts being forwarded
at once to John Sealey, the treasurer
of the finance committee at Galveston.
Large sums will probably follow fro m
the different fraternal and benevolent
orders of the city, and others, wishing
to contribute, have the opportuni-
ty before them. There has never been,
in all history, stronger appeal from
stricken human beings to their fellow
men.

Scarlet Fever.

The first case of scarlet fever in this
city has been the only fatal one up to
this time. Since last Saturday, when
DR.. Nelson's little daughter succumb-
ed to the disease, several cases have
developed; but it is the opinion of our
physicians that it is of mild type and
that all danger will be past in few
days. For several months there have
been many cases in the Fair River
neighborhood and it is now re-
ported at Meadville. 1t is also
stated that several children have been
stricken in this city with the dreadful
disease, the patients recovering with
out knowing it was scarlet fever.

Mary Eta Nations was born Dec.
3rd, 1883. From infancy she was a
sweet-spirited little girl. She was the
pride of her father, the joy of her
mother, and the pet of Ephraim Ma
tons home. So far as my knowledge
extends, she was universal favorite
of all that knew her. Early in life she
confessed the Saviour, and gave her
life in the interest of religion. 1t is
said by those that knew her best, she
lived consistent Christian life, and
died in the triumphs of faith. On the
9th of May, 1900, she was united in
marriage by the writer to Mr.. M. d.
Sheppard, of Mt. Olive, Miss. For
four months and five days they lived
happily together. 1t was a union of
hearts, that made the lives of the two,
one. The bereaved cherishes the hope
that his darling is gone to be with
Jesus. Nearly two weeks she patient
ly fingered with typhoid fever,
and on the 18th of this month
she sweetly breathed her last.
On last Friday after the writer's effort
to console the bereaved, we laid her
body to rest in the Cemetery at An
tioch Church, to await the resurrec-
ton.
"Sister, thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening,
When 1t floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slunber;
Peaceful In the grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our number;
Thou no more our songs shalt know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee.
When the day of life is fled;
Then in Heaven with JOY to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.'

An Odd Law.

To punish a man for nonpayment Of
certain tax by forbidding him to en-
ter restaurant is a rather singular act
Of government, yet in the canton Of
Bern such a law is in effect. Every
man In Switzerland must serve in the
Swiss army if he be physically capable,
and If he be not physically capable he
must pay what is called the military
exemption tax. In the canton Of Bern
rigidly enforced law is in effect which
prohibits person who has not paid
this tax from entering any of the vari-
GUS beer gardens and saloons until the
tax is paid.
This law Is called the "wirtshausver-
bot" The government says that if
man has money to spend for coffee,
beer or liquors he must also have
money enough with which to pay his
debt to the state. At intervals one may
read in the local official papers the list
Of names Of those who must stay away
from the gardens. The law cannot
prohibit a person from obtaining liq-
uor through the Intervention or help of
q friend, but the privilege of dropping
into a favorite resort and hobnobbing
with friends-a custom which is dear
to every Swiss-must be foregone.
The law Is effective for several rea-
sons. The military exemption tax is
small-it is generally paid-and the or
binary peasant does not like to see his
name publicly printed. Chicago Rec
