there was no Sir Thomas Mallory for Charlie

must be patched together from a great
many romances, written at different times
and often contradictory. From all OF
these the author has put together a con-
secutive narrative, beginning with the
four sons Of Aymon and winding up with
the defeat at Roncesvalles and Roland's
blast upon the horn. II should satisfy

In MEMORIAM.

In loving memory of Miss Katie Ballew

vile. N. O.. who departed this life Oct. %
1901 aged 1Syears.
Katie was afflicted with that dread dis,
ease consumption and suffered a great
deal, but bore her suffering with Christian
fortitude and patience, never murmuring
or complaining, but seemed resigned to
the will Of Hin who doeth all things after
the counsel of bis own will. When real.
izing that she would scon pass over the
river OF death, and when in sight of the
beautiful gate, she called her loved ones
and expressed her last wishes. and asked
them to meet her in Heaven. She did not
need the little cares and worries that
yexed her, for so soon they would be
passed. She spoke so lovingly to those
about her; such sweet and tender things

The fairest flowers that bloom should
