|AOBITUARYA


The bright little boy, who for seven
happy years gladdened the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Etna B. Williams, on
West Love street, is gone. No more
will his sweet face and loving eyes
meet ours on earth. His frail little
body yielded to the long and persis-
tent attack, which so long stOrmed
the citadel Of his mortal life.
In his sweet innocence he prayed in
childish faith for his Christian moth
er had taught him to pray for his re-
covery, and ii seemed strange 10 his
little mind, as it often does to older
ones, that his prayer could not be
granted. II the prayers Of Christian
mothers could avail, no more sad
hearts would mourn the dead. Frank
was a dear, manly little fellow, the
idol Of his grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
r. II. Herman, and the Joy Of a dotlng
father and mother As he lay in his
beautiful white casket, his fair face
and form looked more like the
pictured image Of an angel than that
Of a mortal.
Sweet flowers covered his coffin,
sweet songs Of Heaven, eternal home
where Jesus welcomes children, greet
ed the ear; and the angel Of Hope
whispered sweet promises Of reunion
when Heavens gates shall open tC
welcome in the redeemed Of earth,
We know that little Frank viii entel
there with the many, many children,
who, like him, were the idols Of Chris
tian homes. His little classmates
and teacher came with sprigs Of ever
green in their little hands and each
one laid this testimony Of child-loyC
upon the coffin of their little dead
cOmrade. What more tender tribute
could be offered upon memories altar
than this beautiful evidence Of Child
hood love? The short funeral service
Of Bro. Robbins was most beautiful
and appropriate.
God bless the household in its be.
reayement. God bless little Frank in
his coming victory over death.
A FRIEND.

1T WAS BOB WRITE
A Story Containing More Truth Than
Poetry About the Editor of
the Ledger

From the Independence Sentinel
When Robert Morgan White, editor
Of the Mexico LEDGER, was returning
from meeting OF the Executive Com
mittee of the National Editorial As
sociation at indianapolis the Other
night. he had an experience. Col
White, like most newspaper men and
some politicians, travels ON mileage.
He was awakened by the conductor
about . O'Clock in the morning with
the request TO cough up fifteen
dollars. That AIS mileage was not
good after the 10th Of January. Nov,
Colonel White had only two dollars,
and all the rest Of the party had only
twelve dollars. Col. W. II. Painter,
Of the Carrollton Democrat, was going
TO ST. Louis to pay bill al a paper
house and had the largest amount of
any in the party, a FIVE dollar bill,
which he was saving for the complete
extinguishment of the aforesaid paper
bill. He Clipped in the five, but al
together there was only TO be found
sl4. 1t was suggested that a quiet
game in the smoking room might Sc
cure the last dollar, but all the other
passengers were asleep and besides,
the Missourians were all out of prac-
tice. A telegram to Col. John H. Car
roll would do no good, as an answer
could not be received in time. Fin
ally, Col. White offered to put up his
watch-a watch, by the way, which he
had borrowed from Bob Worrell, a
Mexico jeweler, for the occasion. The
conductor said he would take this as
security. As he did so a happy
thought struck the conductor. Col.
Hilary, the western newspaper agent
of the Big -Four, who is most popular
with the newspaper boys, was on the
train. He would submit the case to
Col. Hilary. He did so and the pas
senger agent said that if the conduc-
tor was satisfied it was Bob White to
pass him through, as the mistake had
evidently been made in his Office. The
conductor came back and asked White
if he had ever been to Paris. Yes, he
had. Could he speak French? Yes,
he could. Would he show the con-
ductor his shoes? He would and did.
OF surety this is Col. Bob White, of
the Mexico Mo- LEDGER, the con-
ductor declared And this is a true
story Of how Col. Painters paper bill
was paid and Col. Worrell got back
his watch.

REFUSED EDWARD A DANCE.
Columbia, No, Dame Thought More Of
Her Church Vows Than
Kings Smiles.

COLUMBIA, Jan. 30. Mrs Mary
BiShop-Moore, wife Of DIR. ". T.
Moore, and President of Christian
College for Young Women, in this
city, has probably the distinction Of
being the only person in this country
who declined an invitation 70 dance
with the Prince Of Wales, now Edward
VII Of England.
MrS. Moore is the daughter Of for
mer Governor r. NJ. Bishop, of Ohio,
who was at the time Of the incident
Mayor Of the city of Cincinnati.
When the Prince visited this coun-
try in 1850, on his arrival in Cincinnati
a ball was given in his honor. Mayor
Bishop and family were in attendance,
occupying a private box. The Prince
asked Miss Bishop for the first dance,
but she declined, giving as a reason
the strict rules of her church in this
regard.
