A Tribute.

Leaves have their inc to fall
And flowers to wither at the north winds
breath,
And stars to set;-but thou,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, oh
Death
Death saddens at all times. When
1t comes to the whitened brow and
withered form as the shadows of win
try nights are gathering we drop our
tears. Yet we know that the allotted
time is past and it is best. And we lay
the weary bones away with no bitter
regrets-no wishes to recall. When
little children die we weep for touch
of the clinging, tiny hands and we
yearn long for the sweetest sound that
woman ever heard-a baby's voice.
Yet we are comforted because we know
that heaven took them before the
knowledge of sin or sorrow began.
Whatever our faith we know the little
ones are safe and the memory of those
brief spotless lives are forever after a
benediction. But when live goes out
at early noontide, especially when it is
young mothers voice that is stilled,
a mothers helpful, loving hand laid
pulseless, then we cry out bitterly and
say, "Why is it so?'' In our blind sOr-
row we question the Providence that
leaves little ones motherless and aged
parents to mourn.
At the early age of "a, Edna, wife of
Otto BeIeke, and beloved daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Benz. Bass, departed this
life. By her untimely death two little
children, Dewey and Jewel, are left
without mothers guiding care. A
husband mournS. A father, mother,
five sisters and eight brothers are sor-
rowing for one dearly loved. The
parting is the harder because OF the
suddenness of the blow. The sum-
mons came leaving no time for the
tender tokens of farewell. Especially
do many sympathetic friends feel for
the trail mother who has bourne so
many children end has been called up
on to mourn this second time for a
daughter snatched away in early mar
ried life. Human authority, however
skillful, cannot conquer that grim De-
stroyer, whose coming brings sorrow,
sooner or later, to every household.
Human words, eloquent and tender
though they may be, cannot take away
the grief his presence leaves. But
there is power that can heal all
earthly ills-a ''still small voice" that
can comfort any sorrow. Cast your
care upon Him, all who mourn. He
alone can make your yoke easy and
your burden light.
Mrs. Bencke is spoken of as possess
ing bright and happy disposition with
a smile and kind words for all who
called her friend. She was devoted to
her family and her industry probably
caused her to sacrifice the strength she
should have guarded for a time to
come. The sudden departure of one
so young is regretted by all and leaves
a shadow not only in her home but in
the community where she was so well
known.
cit sngeth low in every heart,
We near it each and all.
A song of those wDo answer not,
Howeve We may call:
They thrOug the silence of the breast,
We see them as of yOre,
The young. the Kind, the beautiful
who walk with US no more. 81
More homelike seems the vast unknown,
Since they have entered there:
To follow them is not SO hard.
Wherever they may fare;
They cannot be where God is not,
On any sea or shore,
Whate Ger betides. Thy love abides, !.
Our God fOreyermOre.

A SETTLED ABUSE.

-
The card of thanks that thousands
of we'll meaning people insist on pub
fishing after the funeral, persists in
living in spite of all the efforts OF the
papers to kill it. It is more tenacious
of life than the Canada thistle, and
almost as pernicious. 1t makes pa
rade of emotions that refined impulses
teach us to Eeep to ourselves as things
t 30 sacred to be bill-boarded where all
who run may read. 1t does more than
this, for it seeks to relieve us OF the
pleasant burden of personal acknow
ment of benefits received, substituting
for that acknowledgement statement
prominent in the eyes of persons who
are not interested and those Who are.
Still worse, it establishes a precedent
for those things for which, in nature
of things, we cannot give thanks in
words. When the crepe, or the white
ribbon that symbolizes childhood,
Grapes the door of the stricken home,
and the resolution of death weighs
|crushingly on all within, there is a
need for sympathy that passes any
appeal that tongue can express, and
the meeting of such need, as it is
met every hour, somewhere, is an act
so nearly kin to the benefcence of the
angels that human words cannot rem
der thanks for it. With what language
shall we voice our gratitude to those
who stand with us in such time of
trial, or who do the mental offices Of
the home that we are too crushed to
do ourselves? Or who come to US and
take us by the hand and pour the oil
and wine Of comfort into the aching
wound, and stay US with that human
sympathy that is divine when we are
so faint? It is by the hand grasp that
shows how we have been helped, by
the sigh that indicates our relief, by
the trustfulness with which we leave
the sad details to those who step into
the homes inner holy place from with
out it's veil, and by the hundred indie
Enable tokens with which we eloquent
T. y express our unspeakable thanks,
that we admit our obligations, out
never by cold, formal words printed in
the advertising columns of newspa-
per. There are some services we rem
der each other that cannot be meas
ured in money; there are some obliga-
tions that cannot be reached in imper-
sonal perfunctory thanks.
1t is true that the custom has grown
by small degrees into it's present wide
spread form, but that makes it no less
of an abuse. 1t is bad taste, it is bad
usage, and it is bad in appearance.
TIE newspapers should combine
against it by all proper means OF pur-
suasion and reasonable argument
People follow the bad custom because
they mistakenly think it is an estao-
lished usage. On the contrary it is
violation of proper form.

PROF. NJ G. LoUGH a member OF

/ is home from a two weeks stay in
Randolph and Tucker counties where
he had been conducting teachers in

teachers throughout the state was
wonderful, and that the number
seemed TO be decreasing every day. In
Randolph county where 155 teachers
are employed, only 100 were enrolled
at the Institute. OF this number
part of them were not teachers OF
Randolph county, but were there from
other places, and would teach else
where
