In Memoriam.

Laura Bessie wnes was born February
ssd. 1877, died September ssd. 1907.
She was the daughter Of Abraham,
and Louisa wiles Of near Terra Alta.
She leaves sortowing parents. three
brothers aud two sisters TO mourn their loss
Bessie was a faithful member Of the
Lo,hern church for about eigh, years and
an active member Of the Oak Grove sunday.
school. She was pauen, through all her
suffering aud when she knew the end was
near she told the weeping friends who stood
by her bedside to lie down. "For," she
said. al am going home She fell asleep
peacefully as one who wraps the drapery
OF his couch about him aud lies down 10
pleasant dreams. BY her dea,h her
parents have lost on earth a loving and
dn,ifal daughter who was the mains,av of
an Invalid mother and the light of their
household. Her brothers aud sisters have
los, mos, aaeciiona,e sister and the church
aud Sunday school faithful worker. She
had large circle of young friends who
deeply feel the loss of one SO loved and
respected. The many loral tributes were
fitting reminders of the popularity Of the
young lady.
The funeral was conducted from the
Lutheran church a, Carmel, which is near
her former home, and in,erment in the
cemetery near by.
Dying, still slowly dying.
As the hours of night rode by:
She had lain since the ligh, of sunset
Was red on the morning sky
Till after the middle watches,
AS we softly near her irod,
When her soul from its prison letters
Was loosed 10y the hand of God
One moment her pale lips trembled
With the triumph she might not tell
As the sight of the life immortal
On her spirits vision fell.
Then the look of rapture faded
And the beautiful smile was faint,
AS that in some convent picture
On the face of dying SAINT
And We fel, in the lonesome midnight.
AS we sat by the silent dead,
What ligh, on the path going downward.
The feet of the righteous shed
Then we thought how with faith unshrinkinp
She came to the Jordan's tide.
And taking the baud of the Savior.
Went up TO the other side.
A FRIEND.

Eress for Reservation.
The Woman's Relief Corps, auxiliary to
the Grand Army Of the Republic. Is
said to be anxiously awaiting the ac-
ton Of Congress on the proposed
Rawlins Square grant to the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution. About a
year ago Mrs. Annie Wittenmeyer, past
national president Of the order, passed over
to the silent majority, and some Of her
friends conceived the idea Of erecting q
monument to her memory here in Washing
ton, as she had been the originator of the
low diet kitchens established by the gov
ernment through her during the war of the
rebellion and had accomplished much good
In that way A bill was drafted and intro
duced by Mr.. Payne OF New York to the
effect that the Woman's Relief Corps would
raise the funds for monument to her
memory and the government was to donate
one of the ublic reservations. Mr.. Payne
said at the time that the bill would not
pass, as the public reservations could not
be given for such purposes. 80 the Dill mas
slept ever since.
The agitation of the D. A. r. for a site
for memorial hall and the expressed de-
sire to take RaWlins Park have aroused the
Woman's Relief Corps. which has 10000
actice members. and 1t proposes to make
life a burden to Congress till it gives that
particular site for the Annie Wittenmeyer
memorial. When the 10000 Relief Corps
women and the 10000 Daughters of the
American Revolution get to scrapping over
the public reservations Congress will take
to the woods.
This Is not all. The Ladies of the Grand
Army of the Republic want a monument to
the women of the war;" and they number

Relief Corps has long believed that there
should be a "Woman's Relief Corps Home"
here, and has already some funds on hand
to start such a project. If the D. A. r.
project to take Rawlins Park or any other
public reservation goes through the patri-
otic women Of the allied organizations OF

these same rooms and halls must be swept

too great to be accomplished alone. Sundry
duties occupy other moments, such as
sweeping pavements, keeping grounds free
from paper and trash, painting and other
small repair work: hoisting the flag mass

building, meanwhile keeping the furnaces
at regular heat. And now parents sug-
gest that these men be made responsible
