MEMORIAL.

Andrew II Snyder was born near
Knob Lick, In 81. Francois county,
Mo., November 10Th, 1865, aud died
at his home, near the same place,
Febuar! 18th, 1899, aged lhiIiy.siz
yeats, three months aud seven days
The remains were laid to rest IN the
|. o. o. ,. Cemetery at Knob Lick,
February 18th, 1909, under the di.
Icclion Of the |, q. o. +. Lodge, OF
which be was member. Dr.. J J.
Martin Of Pennington conducted the
funeral services.
Mr.. Snyder leaves wife md two
little children to mourn the los, ui his
iaIhcrly kindness aud protection; also
a mother, four sisters and brother,
who feel that place % the family
circle Is vacant that eau never be titled
10 his family aud these we extend
our deepest sympathy. II l. true the
loss is great, but it is a consolition to
remember that he Is fat beyond the
pains, tolls aud dlsappuiulmcn,s oi
life on earth.
For number OF YEAR, hc was a
faithful Christian sud a member OF the
Baptist Church llc was attentive
and kind to his family. To know
him was to love him. Among his
friends and ncighors be was widely
known for lis unselfsh generosity.
Even on tia day before the beginning
Of his final sicSness DO was engaged IN
making provision Tor the needy Many
beautiful things can be- said about his
truihiulness and strict integrity, but
what more tit:ing aud honorable thing
could be said said of him than that be
spcut the last day OF his active lie Ia
helping the poor a1d helPless'
While life is being lived among ",
while we are daily witnessing the
Kindness aud good deeds, we do not
come to true realization Of the value
Of that life. Our existence on earth,
happiness, hope, the best Of plaus,
though hanging on thread, seem in
the hour of health to be grant for
ever, but It Is only when death has
taken the loved one that we begin to
see truly the beauty Of his life, aud to
look back over the vacant space as
the sphere Of that which does not be-
long 10 esriii. W A. X.

After all, leaders are born-not made.
You can develope them. Accident, dis
aster, circumstances may pick out the
one man in a crowd who looks like 9TH
er men and yet who is as different as
noon is to midnight. He alone pos
sesses the divine spark that makes him
brave and cool and strong when other
men are crazed. Down in the bowels
Of the earth at Johnstown, Pa, men
were working together when the dead
~ fire damp came. Some fell like logs
and died. Others mumbled their pray
ers and gave up. Still others fed from
the unseen enemy, fed like the drunk
en- men, stumbling, falling, frightened,
desperate, unthinking- Anthony
NJ. Kohlman, an Austrian, but little
more than a boy, was there. He didr,1<'
run. Mhat-ar~- h'',irc To- ~. 10 +bo,r ill
not help at such time? AS quick as
thought he blew out the lights, and
prevented an explosion. His brother
Victor was beside him, choking and
gasping. "Stay herew shouted An
thony to the men who were fleeing.
They did not heed him. He seized a
lump of coal, then felt over the tun-
nell till he found the air pipe. With
a few mighty blows he broke it. He
dragged Victor to the opening, where
the sweet air was gushing out. He got
Rudolph Hoval and Mike Carak and
Ed Yamuitsky to the same place. He
went after others, but they had gone
to their tombs. All night in the inky
darkness that little party lay about the
broken pipe. They breathed both air
and gas. It made them sick and dizzy,
but Anthony Kohlman was not afraid.
In the morning the air was better, and
he had the nerve to light his lamp and
test it. There was no explosion, and
the little party CROPPED its way along
the tunnel, stumbling over bodies, till
they sighted a rescuing party. Mod
esty Is a trait of real heroes. The
young Austrian filled his lungs with
Gods good air and said: "It is lucky
l thought Of that air pipe. If the 9TH
ers had minded me twenty-four men
who are dead would have been saved. :"
Lucky? There was no luck about it.
A man of Kohlman's stamp does think
about the air pipe, because Nature in
tended him fer a leader. His bravery
was as natural as fear is to others in
the face Of great danger.

An Eve TO Business.

The daughter of an Illinois Congress-
man was sitting on her fathers knee
one evening when she was a little girl.
She had new little brother whom she
regarded with wonder, says the Chi
cage Journal, as children do regard the
latest usurper before they have learned
to love him.
To-day" said the Congressman, SO
man offered to give me a whole room
full of gold for little brother. Shall I
sell him?"
The child shook her head.
But" said her father, "think how
many nice things a roomful of gold
would buy! Don't you think 1 had
better let the man have himp
No" answered the girl, thought
fully, lets keep him till he's older:
he'll be worth more then"
