Mr.. R. L. Riggs, young man

{" If We are to catch that breath
of new life," says the Mississippi
Journal, "that is lifting Virginia,
Georgia, the Carolinas and Flori-
da up into the light and life of a
better and brighter day, and dot
ting them with teeming industries,
we must do like them, and, taking
counsel only of our God, our COM

arm, roll up our sleeves and go at
it.'

Come to me in sleep,
For in the life where thou art not
There are none like thee!"
Bette Sentell is dead. With
what a chill of horror and grief:
what a sense of loss, the words
fell upon the hearts of those who
love her. So yonng and strong;
so willing and able to help those
weaker than herself, it does not
seem possible that her life work
is done. That God has called her
home. So many blessings were
showered upon her in this life, we
wonder what He held in reserve
to make death sweet. Under the
grey skies, meath the flowers she
loved so well, her body lies at
rest, but her memory lives on as
a blossom whose beatty and frag-
rance is imperishable.

A Word of Cheer.

Oh, soul bowed down by the beating
storm,
A message to you bear;
Gods sun will still your sad life warm;
Your sky will yet be fair.
You may be doubtful in your grief,
But do not be dismayed,
Though it may be long before relief,
Oh, do not be afraid.
You may not see, for the darkness may
Be over you like pail,
But wait with patience for the day,
And trust to the Father all.
It may not be in the way you think,
Nor the way your heart may choose,
But peace will come, you will not sink;
So do not courage lose.
There will be calm, though storms may
dash
Gods light will over the darkness flash,
And new hopes shall have birth.
So do not grieve in hopeless woe,
For that which is taken away;
Gods peace will in your sad life flow,
And the night be turned to day.
The world is bright with the Fathers
smile,
His glory is over all,
IT'S only to watch for little while,
And await his welcome call.

Tsath OF Mrs. N. W. Sentell.

Mrs, N. W. Sentell died at her
home at Collinsburg, in this par
ish, on Friday morning, 9th inst,
aged 80 years, five months and
seven days.
Mrs. Sentell was born in East
Baton Rouge parish; united with
the Presbyterian church when
only fourteen years old, and was
married to Mr.. N. w. Sentell in
the city of Baton Rouge Dec. 81,
1886.
Mrs. Sentell was a devoted wife
and mother, and a woman of re-
markable christian virtues. She
was ever Jealous in her active life
OF noble womanhood, and her
work has not persisted. Hers was
the experience of Victor Hugo,
who said, When l go down to
the grave I can say like so many
others, / have finished my days
work; but l cannot say I have
finished my life. My days work
VIII begin again next morning;
my tomb is not a blind alley; it
closes with the twilight to open
with the dawn We repeat, this
estimabie woaan's work has not
persisted. The influence Of her
sweet holae life, her zeal, her de-
voted labor, and her Christian
character shall never pass away.
Hence, acclamations of praise for
the task she has accomplished
will burst out into a song Of
triumph, which even tears for her
death cannot keep down.
We can add nothing to the glory
OF her extraordinarily beautiful
life. "Her actions alone praise
her." No sum could now be made
OF her noble character that did
notexhaust language in It's tribute
andrepeat virtue by all her names.
No sum could be made of her
achievements that did not unfold
the matchless charm and sweet
ness of her beautiful home life as
tender wife and gentle mother
her devotion to her friends and
her church and it's institutions
butwhether character or achieve
nent be regarded, the riches be-
tore US only expose the poverty of
praise.
Forever they are fading.
Our beautiful, our bright,
They gladden. US little while,
Then pass away from sight.
A little while we're parted
From those who love US best,
Who gain the goal before us
And enter into rest.
Forever and forever,
Todwell among the blest,
Where SORROWS never trouble,
The deep eternal rest;
When one by one we gather,
Beneath our Fathers smile,
And Heavens sweet forever,
browns earth's sad little WHILE"
10 the bereaved husband and
cnlldren the loss indeed seems
Heparable. To them we extend
ouf most earnest and heartfelt
sympathy.
The body of the deceased was
0uned Saturday in Cottage Grove
cemetery. Rev. w. A. Zeieler
conducted the funeral services.

little school girls and the band will
give us concret ON the front porch.
This afternoon there will be the games
for prizes-wr estling, running, single
stick and sword play and all kinds of
things, markee!
Well the day has certainly been a
very active one, Prout and H and
Hare singing out on the lawn, while
waiting dinner. When H and H
arrived garlands were duly thrown
over them.
Then came dramatic performance

Then the singing girls only 10 and II
years old, sang Eand danced on the
porch. And then tiffin. At my re-
quest H had sent over an American
flag and two English ones, and long
before they H and HI arrived, the
servants had put one on pole on
the lawn. and had put an American
flag and an English flag in the dining
room. The cook gave us good din
ner, then for an hour the dancing girls
danced on the porch and after that
the Christmas sports. We have had
competitive dancing and wrestling
and foot races on the lawn, and it has
been very jolly.

The Kitchen RANGE

Gas is very much used these days for
cooking purposes, and certainly it is a de-
lightful method when compared to the
difficult to manage coal range of few
years ago, but whether coal or gas be
used the kitchen range must be cleaned
just as often to keep it bright and clean.
II coal range is used, the end of the
day is the best time to clean and polish.
After removing the ashes dust the range
we'll and apply little enameline polish
(Which is always moist and ready for use)
with damp flannel. Polish with a dry
flannel or a brush if the range is big
one. The stove can be polished when
warm, but not when very hot.
If gas is used for cooking purposes. be-
fore starting to clean the range the gas
should be lighted for couple of mo-
ments to heat the iron. Enameline polish
prevents rust
The same process Of cleaning may be
applied to stoves and fire grates.-Ameri-

A Fable.

There was once a woman who had new
er learned how to swim, although she
went in bathing every day in the summer.
She had friend who had acquired this
art with some trouble and was very
proud of her proficiency in it.
1T is absurd" said this friend, ito
live near the water and not swim. It
makes you very attractive to good swim
mers if you can go out with them, and
they do not feel that you are drag on
their pleasures. What would you do in
case you fell off the pier? Now, watch
me-"
With these words she dived off into the
water and swan about by herself.
1T is good thing to have woman
swim so WELL" said one of the men near
by. "Now, if any of the children fall
into the water, she can rescue them"
Just then the woman who could not
help herself uttered scream and fell
into the sea. Instantly five men leaped
in to rescue her and spent the rest of the
day resuscitating her and inquiring how
she was, leaving the swimmer to dive by
herself.
This teaches us that nothing succeeds
like distress.-Century.

ure of relief it will be felt by every tax
paper, as the school tax is the only state
tax the people of New Jersey pay, and
the proposed use of the surplus for this
purpose will cut down that tax by over

DependabIe SHOES


Maybe you still have to buy your first pair of
shoes from Wanamaker's. Then you do not
know, from actual experience, that your invest
ment buys more than mere pair of shoes. 1t
buys best workmanship, best materials, best
style and comfort-no matter how little the
price may be. The thousands of men and
women that wear and know Wanamaker shoes
are our witnesses TO this.
Mems Shoes at IS. 90. Five dollars
or more-in every other good shoe store is the
price of these shoes. Patent and enamel leather,
box and waxed calfskin, storm grain calf and
extra fine kidskin; in all weights and shapes,
for dress or business.
Women's Shoes at $3.50. Before the
advent of our "Reliable" shoe these were the
best SO shoes we knew of. Now they have to
bow to their superiors-b but they own none be-
sides the "Reliabe." They're in kid and
patent leather, in latest, best shapes, welted

who desire lighter weights

A substitute for Welsh rabbit may be
made by melting half a pound of rich
cheese on a hot plate over hot water,
meanwhile toasting four slices of bread
This should be buttered, and the cheese,
seasoned with salt and cayenne, poured
over it.
Cauliflower should be placed head
down in cold sailed water for 10 or ID
minutes before cooking to draw insects.
In boiling slightly sailed water should be
used, and the head should be placed

The last is tAat little camphor should
be added to the water into which they
stand. This is said to lengthen their life
for a considerable period.
