Among other things worthy of note to take place at the Reunion at Memphis is the fact that very little money need be spent for eatables by the ladies while there, providing they can digest hot cakes" and drink a good cup of coffee.

LEE COOK, DEAD!

LEE COOK, DEAD!
 Tuesday morning May IA, 1901, Lee Osler Cook, beloved husband of Sarah Josephine Cook. was called for by the white-robed boatman angel to cross over with him to the shores of eternity.
 And such is the immutable decree of Providence. It's in forcement at times may and does, seem cruel, and premature, and the heart strings of the be- reaved are severely tested. The loved and loving husband died when manhood's morning almost touches noon, and while the shad- ows still were falling to the west. He was a dutiful and affectionate companion, a loving brother, and constant and jealous friend. He was the life, light and good cheer of a happy home; the com fort, confident and idol of a de- voted wife.
 Lee Cook was born in Marshall county Tenn, May Fist, 1872. In December of the same year his parents moved to Crockett county, Tenn, here they resided for the following 16 years. From there the family moved to Wynne, Cross county, Ark, where they have since resided. In September 1896, Lee was united in marriage with Miss Sarah Josephine Rushing at Abertine, Texas, and for time after the ceremony, resided at Wynne. His married life though of short duration was sweet and full of sunshine. While yet in love with life and rapured with the world, for he had just reached the point in life which he had sought so much, he pass ed to silence and pathetic dust. "Yet after all, it may be best, just in the happiest, sunniest hour of all the voyage. For whether in mid sea or among the breakers of the father shore, wreck at last must mark the end of each and all. And every lise no matter if it's hour is rich with love and every moment jeweled with joy, will at it's close become a tragedy as sad and deep and dark as can be woven of the warp and wool of mystery and death"
 In 1899 MT. Cook moved to McCrory where he has re sided since. He was 28 years, II months and 24 days of age. His remains were taken to | Wynne for interment Wednes- day morning, obsequies taking place at ? p. ID. of the same day.

A Restaurant Man Captures a Stray
Swarm of Bees.
Ralph Gushee, the lessee of the Park
Department restaurant overlooking the

he obtained the honey which is one OF

Claremont, 81 noticed a swarm of bees

stand at the dinner hour. | offered $40

said he knew all about bees and told
him to go ahead. He went down in the
basement and got an empty sugar bar
rel. Then he demanded sheet and bor-
rowed a pair of buckskin gloves from
a gardener. He spread the sheet on the
drive under the tree and set the barrel,
from which he had removed couple
of slaves, on its side. Then he climbed
the tree and gently shooed the bees
down to the sheet, whence he gathered
them up into the barrel. This was
covered with the same sort Of mos
quito netting with which he had en-
yeloped his own head and taken back
of the hotel. There must have been
three or four quarts of bees, and they
settled into their new home as natural
ly as though they had come to River
side Park for that purpose. They be-
gan to hive at once, and for the last
two weeks I've been getting four or
five pounds of honey right along and
the bees are still at home and at work"

sweetness from the blossoms in the
park it would be in order for the city to

A Royal Disguise.

Until the present time Julian had
thought of overcoming the king with
out a word-of telling him to the pave
ment and binding him, and leaving
him in ignorance Of who had done it;
but a different fancy seized him as he
saw the monarch enter the dungeon.
The temptation to face his deadly
enemy. and let him know to what he
owed his disgrace. was too strong 10

now place his foot upon the neck OF
the king of Damascus. and grant the
poor life which he had the power to
take, was not to be passed by. And
then the robber chieftain had an
other reason for Wishing to speak with
the king, since the opportunity had
thus Unexpectedly offered itself. Ho-
ram had come on purpose TO see him.

A DREAM OF TREASURE.

oHhh hoy Dream Locates money Which
Is Really There.
Dreams are often unaccountable, and
perhaps what am about to relate may
interest your readers. When quite
young-I was only years old then-I
lived with my parents at villa in
Trieste, Austria. For weeks and weeks
| had the same dream, although not
nightly-namely, that in the night
time / found myself at the bottom of
the garden in my nightgown, scratch
ing at little heap of earth, and found
copper, silver, and gold coins, and sud
denly looking up, found before me,
and watching me, the sister OF the
landlord of the villa, an old haggard
woman. Having dreamed this so often,
| naturally related it to my mother,
friends, who were OF superstitious
nature, tried to induce my father to
buy the plot of ground in question, but
he would not listen to such absurdity,
as he was an unbeliever in spiritual
ism. Well, some years later the land
lord had occasion to build lodge at
the bottom of the garden, and while
digging for the foundation a large
sum of money in copper, silver and
gold coins was discovered. How is 1t
that mere boy of Z, without any
knowledge Of the place or of the his
tory of the owners of the said grounds,
should have such dream which turn
cd out true?-Spectator

The Bishops Appeal.

The late Bishop Williams Of Con-
necticut was a truly pious man, but
was sometimes placed in a position
where he envied the privileges Of those
not of the cloth. At recent conclave
at the General Theological Seminary
they told this tale of the good bishops
wit: One summer day the bishop went
out fishing with a friend, and, as the
day was warm. they swung o bottle
of rare Burgundy over the side of a
rowboat. When luncheon time came
the bishop essayed to pull the wine
aboard, already tasting in anticipation
the cool. delicious beverage. Through
some mishap the string slipped from
his fingers, and the bottle sank to the
bottom of the river Bishop Williams
sat up with sigh. and said. with his
eyes sparkling: You say IL, Jones;
you're a layman. Boston Journal.
