Ere Sin could faint or sorrow blight.

Now all enraptured there she waits
Your entrance through the pearly

The form you saw lie cold and dead
Was but the house from which she
fed.
Like Him arose on Easter day,
She s simply left her house OF CLAW,
Her earth. bound letters laid aside
That she with Christ might e'er

Then wipe those falling tears away
Go work for Christ through life 3

And soon you'll hear Him say IN

Milhelm, Pa, May 6.--Jessie King
a young farmer residing near this
borough, ended his three months
stormy marital experience with a
double tragedy this morning. He
first shot and mortally wounded his
young bride. Soon afterward he
shot himself through the heart while
standing IN the road within sight of
his staggering, bleeding wife, in Or

ter of a farmer residing near Aarons'

provident and the young woman had
often to go to her parerts home to

on the edge of this town, and be-
cause of his improvldence the honey
moon of the pair was turned into a
season OF quarrels.
Two weeks ago Mrs. King went to
the home of her sister at Spring
Mills to attend her in illness She
said this morning she would return to
her sisters but King attempted to
persuade her not to. He said she
had been away from him too long al
ready. When she fell asleep he hid
one of her shoes. This morning
when she found her shoe gone Mrs.
King was angry and threatened to
leave him for good.
Then King pulled pistol from his
pocket and shot her in the stomach.
King fled from the house and ran to
the home of - father, a mile away.
There he told of what he had done,
declaring that he intended to return
to the house finish his wife and then
