Among other expressions OF sympathy
George NJ Harrison has received the fol
lowing letter from James III. Miller OF
Chas. p. Kellogg q Co.:
Chicago, April 9, 1900.
Mr.. Geo. NJ. Harrison,
Paw Paw Michigan.
My Dear George:
The opening sentence in friend Cor
tons letter was, Il have sad news for
you" l thought first of my old friend
George, then of his good wife, but the
passing on of the sweet, bright, little
Rex did not occur to me. My loved
friends, this is indeed a master woe, and
so hard to bear Aye, surely we may say
The harp has grown silent, the cords
are entwain." A golden string has
broken.
Never more on this earth will that
merry voice in childish glee, ring out
sweet music to gladden. your hearts, to
make happy your daily life.
But, my dear friends, if you will only
pause in your anguish and think, you
can but know that your darling boy is
not dead-there is no death. That little
genial and gentle soul has simply stepped
out OF its tired little body-its earthly
tabernacle and passed oninto thesunshne
of his true life beyond, and there in hap
piness complete will his sweet little
spirit patiently await, in peaceful bliss,
the coming of his fond father and mother.
My dear friends this earthly sojourn is
but IA speck, a short twilight of our real
life-our real existence, and when we
come to realize this great truth, that
which we call death loses all its terrors.
1t is simply the touch that permits the
eternal pilgrim, the ego, the everything
soul to slip from its earthly garments in
to blissful rest-"the land of the gods,
its eternal home.
Weep not that he has gone before,
but thank God that you were blessed
with his unusually happy and genial
presence, though it were for only few
months.
My dear friends, bear your burden
bravely. Show to the world your faith
in God will, and peace will surely come
to your now aching hearts.
With love sincere to both of you and
dear little Doane, | am always
Your old-time friend,
JAMES III. MILLER.

The annual banquet and reception of
the Coterie was held at the Dyckman
house, Wednesday evening of last week,
and was a very successful and enjoyable
affair. A large number were present,
and enjoyed an hour Of social converse
before the announcement of supper. The
repast was finely served, and was credit
to the Dyckman. After the last course,
the president of the Coterie, Mrs. w. O..
Brown, introduced the toastmistress,
Mrs. Emma Smith, who filled the posi-
tion admirably, and added much to the
pleasure of the program by her bright
remarks creating roar of laughter by
an odd exhibition of her knowledge of
German-in the tongue twisting of which
it is safe to say mono of her auditors
could have followed her. Toasts were
responded to by DIR. Curtiss, Mr.. David
Anderson, Mesdames +. p. Grimes, Ed
son Woodman and G. w Young. Music
was furnished during the supper and
pragram by Messrs. Chappell and Snow.
The affair was one of the pleasantest Of
its kind in the history of the Coterie.

know that If the United states retains
