obituary.

Thomas A. Whitebread. whose
death we mourn, rs too well known
to need any COMMUNICATION by one
who knew so little'6f him.
For months those who knew him
best could see the marks of death
npoG him. Although he struggled
hard to live, and, like most young
people who suffer from the dread
disease, consumption, he desired to
live, and while the taper grew dim
mer each day, his hope would not
let him see its fading light.
He, like Paul, had said: ''I am in
straight betwiSt two,, desiring TO
depart and yet hoping to live.
1t was my pleasure to be with
aim often in his illness and 10 lead
him on step By step, aided by many
Christian friends, until, by simple,
trusting faith, he protested faith in
God and was coinforted and ready
to go.
His parents we're true and faith
full. His loving, tender hearted
mother did oil a mother could do,
and it was a great comfort to her to
know that he had made peace with
God.
Many kind friends made pleasant
his last days, for which the parents
are very thankful: May God com:
fort the the mother and sister and
lead the father and brothers to i
loving faith in Him.
Rest on, dear one, in perfect peaces
Wen meet you in that land 5f bEssi
There 10 dwell in love II hoEhA
And sing togethefarOund CO throne

The Modern RrOdigaI.

Occasionally a good man grows
dissatisfied with Missouri, says the
Nevada Post.
The milk rs too yellow or the
honey too sweet, and be don't like
them to flow over bis land any way.
So be parts with his farm, sells
bis live stock aOd "other things TOO
numerous to MENTION" at auction,
and moves to Kansas.
There he takes bis good Missouri
money and buys a farm which to-
day is and tomorrow is not, be.
cause the wind has blown 1t away.
Or he tries Colorado and tlusbes
ar0and in the mud irrigasing
strip Of bottom so narrow that b
COW can't jump in the field because
she 1umps over
Then he hears Of Texas ana. goes
down to hunt the bag of gold at the
end of the rainbow. In the day
time he scratches sandbars out OF
his flesh and at night the tarantulas
nlbbIe at bis feet and the centipedes
crawl over his face.
When his money is oil gone he
begins to feel like he did the first
night he ever staid away from
home.
He yearns for good OLD Missouri
and the yearn sticks in bis throat
and ehokes him until the tears
come into bis eyes.
He would give q months work to
again see the COWS standing at the
bars on mis- old Missouri farm and
hear the horn blow for supper.
Memory is a marvellous painter
and paints best the things we have
lost.
