OBITUARY.

Died, at his home near Oak
Grove, Miss, on the night OF
October 13, 1902, little Ed Cher
ry, aged 13 years, 6 months and
13 days.
81 murmur not, Father my boy is witb
Thee;
I knew at the first that my darling was
Thine
Hsdst Thou taken him earlier, y FAITH
but see!
Thou hsdst left him 80 long that /
p dreamed he was mine.
Thou hast honored my child by the
speed of thy choice,
Thou hast crowned him with glory,
o'erwhelmed him with mirth,
He sings up in heaven with his sweet
sounding voice,
While 1, sa nt's mother, am weeping
on earth.
Oh, forgive me. dear Savior! on heav-
ems bright shore,
Should still in my child find separate
joy;
While live in the light OF Toy face
evermore,
May think heaven brighter because
OF my boy"
Dear child !! how much he suf
tered during the last few months
of his lite no one can possibly
know.
He was terribly burned on the
22ud day of last March, and ev-
cry moment OF his lite since that
time has been one of mortal
agony. At first he expressed a
desire to get we'll, but during the
last few sad weeks he seemed 10
realize his condition and said
eft it is Gods will hope to get
well, tor l don't see how dear
Mama can give me up now"
He was the eldest child, and
naturally the greatest source OF
help and comfort to his widowed
mother; but may God in His
great love for His children, Ell
able this griet-stricken mother to
say: "The Lord gave, and the
Lord hath taken away; blessed
be the name of the Lord,'' re-
membering that "whom the Lord
He chasteneth."
Ed was boy of whom every
one spoke we'll. His teachers
and class mates loved him in
school, where he always dis
played traits OF character which
bespoke the true gentleman
ond Judging his inner lite by his
words and deeds, he must have
teen a real Christian; possessing
many social virtues which go to
make perfect specimen OF true
manliness.
"Our hearts are filled with sorrow
Our eyes o'erfow with tears,
As we think that each to morrow
Will blend into the years
And yet the well loved faces
That did our presence cheer
Within their wonted places
Will never reappear. "

Tho soldier boy writes home

seven or eight hundred miles

Camp Vickars, Mindanao. He

was killed, and eleven Ameri-
cans; forty wounded; and more
than thousand Moros killed.
The soldiers fare was scant, con-
sisting of bacon, hard tack, and
the fruit OF the land. He states
there are eight thousand soldiers
in camp, and that they erect
their tents on sky line, IN order
that they ,ss,y see if the enemy
attacks the tents. They have

Many merchants make a gre at
mistake when they jump at the
conclusion that advertising does
not pay simply because afew in
sertions of an ad does not make
a perceptible increase in their
buiness. People read the adj
vertisement in the newspaper now
days more generally than they
are given credit for and someh ow
thay have fool notion that the
merchant who does not advertise
has not much of stock and is
short on bargains. II he has as
good goods and makes as good
prices as any other merchant he
certainly would say something
about it, they reason, and not hear
ing him make any noise they pro-
ceed to- 'iet him alone and pass
along to the man who invites
them to his store and tells them
about his goods. Advertising by
spurts never did pay, but judic.

tions are dated May 9th, 1902, and after
referring to the prospective legislation
respecting Friars lands, directs Governor
Taft to take the subject up tentatively
with the ecclesiastical superiors who
must ultimately determine the friars
course of conduct and endeavor to reach
at least a basis of negotiation along lines
which will be satisfactory to them and
to the Philippine government so that
when Congress shall have acted the bus
iness may proceed to conclusion with
out delay. The instructions proceed:
In any conference and negotiations
Taft will bear in mind the following
propositions, which are deemed to be
fundamental and which should be fully
and frankly stated to the other side in
the negotiations:
One of the controlling principles OF
our government is the complete separa-
ton of church and State, with the entire
freedom of each from any control or
interference by the other.
BY reason of the separation the relig-
ious orders can no longer perform in be-
half of the State the duties in relation
to public instruction and public charities
formerly resting upon them, and the pow
er which they formerly exercised, through
relations to the civil government, being
now withdrawn, they find themselves the
objects of hostility on the part of the
people. They will not be voluntarily ac-
cepted again by the people and cannot
be restored to their positions except by
forcible intervention on the part of the
civil government, which the principles of
our government forbid.
1t is the wish of our government, in
case Congress shall grant authority, that
the titles of the religious orders to the
large tracts of agricultural lands which
they now hold shall be eXtinguished but
that full and fair compensation shall be
made therefor.
1t is not, however, deemed to be for
the interests of the people of the Phil
ippine Islands that in thus Transforming
wholly unproductive tracts of land into
money capable of productive investment,
fund should be thereby created to be
used for the attempted restoration of the
friars to the parishes from which they
are now separated, with the consequent
disturbance of law and order.
The titles to the great amount of
church lands and buildings III the is
lands, other than those of the religious
orders and now apparently owned by the
State, should be settled fairly.
The rights and obligations remaining
under the various specific trusts for edu-
cation and charity which are now in
doubt and controversy ought to be set
tied by agreement if possible rather than
by the slow end frequently disastrous
processes of litigation, so that the bene-
ficent purposes of these foundations may
not fail.
