Mr.. Morse was a son of Daniel
and Della Northrop Morse and born
in Fairfield, VT, in 1915, and died in
Cambridge, w., Oct. q, 1901, at
the age OF eighty-six years.
He was twice married-frst to
Miss Elizabeth M, Buck by whom he
had three children, Arson D. Morse,
Prof. of History in Amherst College,
Mass, Harmon N. Morse, Prof. of
Chemistry in John Hopkins Univer.
sity, Baltimore, Md, and Della E.
Morse, who died Aug 9Th 1874, at
the age of twenty-four years.
BY his second wife, Mrs. Caroline
Brooks Mazusan, he had one daugh-
ter, Caroline NJ. Morse, who died
Nov. Oath, 1873, at the age of eigh-
teen years.
Mr.. Morse's funeral was held at
his home, where he has lived about
sixty years, on Thursday, Oct. "a,
at ?. M, under the charge of Bar
mum Austin of Johnson, Rev. Edwin
Wheelock officiating.
The bearers were julius Green,
Almon Hawley, F. H. and Harring-
ton Fullington, Norman Nye, and 6.
E. Sheldon. The singers, c. P. Jones
and Miss Drake and Mrs. Mcfarland
and Mrs. Ranger, organist, of John
son rendered most 61y Come Unto
Me" and Beautiful Land On High"
The interment was in the cemetery
at East Cambridge beside his kin
dred. Mr.. Morse was a man of
great force of character and activity
in public and personal life.
1t is an honor to his memory to
say that during his long and varied
life he was faithful to every trust,
provoked no animosities, and main
tanned in every place the firm integ-
rity of a just man. His religious SEN
timents were formed in great meas
ure from the wise teachings of the
distinguished Rev DR.. James Dougher-
ty of Johnson, whom he admired and
loved. He believed that the universe
was governed by immutable righte-
BUSINESS, and that humanity was I'M
der the immutable and eternal gov
eminent of redeeming love. The last
year of Mr.. Morse's life was one of
suffering, which was borne without
complaint, and when his transition
came he went calmly and hopefully
forward like the sunset after a long
summers day. w.

A doctor must needs be at all

that something had occurred to put
him on his guard, or perhaps he had
been thinking, wondering what kind Of
person he was harboring. At any rate,
he came up and, drawing a chair be-

that he wished to ask me questions,
but he was too kind, too generous to
one in my condition, too hospitable, to
ask them directly.

port, and my right arm dropped, be-
numbed by a charge of buckshot. Seiz-
Ing my weapon with my left hand, l
brought it to a level with the eyes be-
hind the fence and fired. There was a
sound Of body falling, and | knew
that had struck home.
Squirting my horse to the side of the
road, craned my neck over the fence,
and there in the ditch lay the bush
whacker. His hat had fallen off and
left bare a head of red, shocky hair.

me cloud of gloom like the wing of an
Apollyon.
l drew an involuntary sigh. 1t was
not that l had taken a life Dives were
cheap enough in those days, and he had
sought to take nine; it was not my

opened, and we went up to the veran-
