In Memoriam.

Leah Cornetet Holiday, whose
maiden name was Wrinkle, was born
at Taylorsville, Ohio, June 20, 1S41,
and entered into the fuller life by
physical death near Hillsboro, Ohio,
October 81, 1901, being so years, 4
months and II days old She was
married to Lewis Cornetet December
%, 1861, To this union we're born six
children, four of whom yet live on
earth. This father and husband was
deceased April IL, 1885, after life
of suffering and faithfulness. Then
on August %, 1885, she was joined in
marriage to r. B. Holiday, of Hills
boro, Ohio. This last union has now
been broken by death. In this fam
lily, as in the former, she was true,
diligent, faithful and good. Her life
was luminous. She was living gos-
pei, having become a member of the
church of the United Brethren in
Christ when but girl of fourteen.
She assimilated the teachings and
life of Christ so as to build up
Christ-like personality. She showed
this by her ministrations, sympathy
and appreciation. For one so true in
life too much cannot be said of her,
now when the voice that caused
physical ears to respond is changed to
speak to the innermost spiritual ears,
those of the soul. To her there was
no "dark valley" Jesus the Good
Shepherd, was more than "rod and
staff" He was "the light" To her
the words Jesus meant spirit and life.
He said, "Whosoever liveth and be-
lieveth in me shall not see DEATH"
To such, life is continuous and this
pause that we call death is the oc-
casion for the entering.into universal,
spiritual relationships. This mea ms
to see Jesus as He is which means to
be like Him. Funeral services we're
held at the home, conducted by Geo.
f. Huphes. ~

"Are ye there, Moriar-i-ty?" and
when the juror came in and ex.
planned that he had been having a

Morris was not afraid to remind him
that that was not the Rowlls court.

To dwell with him beyond the skies.

No mothers tones fall on our loving ears ;

Where time is measured not by years.
We shall miss through life the tender guild
And mourn that death in seeming cruelty

For our home is dark without her, We
miss her everywhere.
And yet would We, who loved her 90 sincerely,
Recall her spirit from It's home on high
Nay, rather let us live that when death calls
We may unite again the severed tie.
And oh we thank thee for the blessed hope,
That mother lives and will be there 70

Two Odd Gentlemen
from New York ~
By JOHN II. RAFFERTY,
.oBERT JOYCE, of 81. Louis. ss

DOBERT JOYCE, of st. Louis, 35
IN years old, attorney at law, sat in
his Office reading the morning paper.
He had no practice to speak of, but he
had hopes and rich young wife, whose
ambitions for his future career as a
public man were beginning to stir him
to something like mental activity. Be-
Ing good mixer, handsome, eloquent
and widely known as good fellow"
he naturally chose politics for his
field Of effort, and, as he sat poring
over his newspaper, he was figuring in
his mind that If he ever got the con-
gressional nomination on the repub-
hcan ticket in his district old John
0'Brien, democratic and present in
cumbent, would give him race for his
life, and, probably, a beating. There
fore he was not overcheerful, and
hailed rap on his door with q feeling
: Of relief.
To his vociferous "Come int" two ut
ter strangers entered. Both were we'll
dressed, of about his own age, of good
address.
SIS this Mr.. Joyce7 said one, smil-
ing and extending his card as he saw
the friendly nod. "I'm Howard Beck.
Of New York, Mr.. Joyce, and this is
my friend, Mr.. Smyth, also a lawyer"
"0lad to know you both" said the
radiant Joyce, motioning them both to
seats. Then Mr.. Beck drifted swift
~ into running fusillade Of small
talk, stories and witticisms, which,
though apropos of nothing in particu-
lar, amused and even delighted the
friendly Joyce. Mr.. Smyth occasion
auy slipped into the conversa ton with q
shat reminds me-" and the host him
self soon found that he had "a few
good ones" They swapped stories,
smoked Joyce's cigars, and made few
trips down the elevator to see the usual
fourth party till It suddenly dawned
upon Joyce that noon was at hand and
that neither Of his visitors had told
the real object Of the visit.
Then, as lawyers will, he began to
get just bit suspicious. He acknowl-
edged himself that he liked both Beck
and Smyth, but what, he asked himself,
did they want? Maneuvering to draw
their fire, so to speak, he pulled out

Witch Hazel Salve is sure cure for
piles, giving relief instantly, and I

MR.. BECK.

his watch. They took the hint, but in
stead of disclosing the object of their
long call--they had been with Joyce
nearly three hours-they arose and
with great friendliness admitted that
they had stayed too long.
"We've had delightful VISIT" con-
cluded Mr.. Beck, "and we're glad to
have met you"
"Call again some time" murmured
the mystified Joyce, shaking hands.
When they were gone he puzzled over
the matter for awhile and then went
to lunch. He didn't return till nearly
two In the afternoon, but when he
opened his door he found Beck and
Smyth sitting within waiting.
They greeted him with a fresh vol
ley OF scintillant stories, jokes and
y "reminiscences, and before he could
make polite display of his astonish-
ment he found himself involved in the
conversation, laughing with them and
ready for more negotiations with the
, hospitable fourth party downstairs.
Nobody but the letter carrier inter-
ruted the visit, it was even more pro-
longed and pleasanter than that of the
forenoon, and the clock was striking
six when Mr.. Joyce pulled out his watch
with an expression of natural bewil-
derment.
They took the hint again, stood up,
shook hands, and for moment looked
foolish. Joyce thought that at least
they meant to state their mission, but
they only hesitated a moment and then
started for the door. That was too
much for him.
"Gentlemen," he beloved after them,
"before you go would you mind tell
ing me what, that is, why, you--yo1
called on me?"
They came back blushing and look
ing sheepishly at one another.
"Glad you ask" said Beck. "The
truth is, Mr.. Joyce, we came away from
New York with good supply of money,
intending to stay two weeks in St.
Louis. We thought we knew the great
American game, didn'twe, Smyth But,
well, to make long story short, we
met some Texas fellows coming out
ON the train who knew it better. What
they did to us was plenty, for we land
ed here fiat broke, and neither of us
had the nerve to telegraph home for
more"
"You, see," broke in Smyth, they'd
never let up on us at the club il they
knew. A New Yorker hates to ad-
nit"
"Fact is" interrupted Beck, 1--WE
asked the clerk in the Planters II he
knew a downtown lawyer who was a
good fellow and he steered us up here.
We found he was right, but"
"Well?" suggested Joyce, amazed
and amused.
"Well, we haven't had anything to
eat yet to-day. We thought you would
ask us to lunch, and we came back
hoping you'd ask US to dinner, but"
"Why in the name of Zeus didn't you
say so this morningP" roared Joyce,
grabbing his hat and hooking arms
with them.
"Afraid you'd take us for con men,"
said Beck.
1--WE hated to make such play at .
good fellow" agreed Smyth.
Joyce had a dim but lingering sus-
,picion that he was being "played," but
he couldn't resist his new-found
friends. Ha took them over to the
