IN MEMORIAL.

April II, 1902. Death of Willie
Burks, who died by an accident March
1909.
Alas my brother thou hast fell
On earth no more to rise,
Thy spirit where the angels dwell
Are waited to the skies.
We sadly miss your smiling face
When we assemble rounl,
At that most dear beloved place,
That concecrated groIud.
Where we have all so often met
To pay our last respect,
To those we love out soon forget,
For God will them protect.
| also have a darling Babe
There numbered with the deal,
Whose life did like the fl ,wers fade
And parting words were sad
Safely at home my darling,
Safely in Jesus breast,
The glory of heaven around thee
And the songs of the Angels best.
Here on earth is weeping,
For thy mothers heart is love,
Thy home rest is sad without thee,
For its singing bird hath fl pwn.
But not in the grave bed lonely
My child do look for thee,
But beside still tl)wilg water,
Thy happy home shall be.
Thank God fer the sweet sweet story
We mothers already know,
OF Jesus who blessed little children
because he loved them SC.
No dread that the dear little spirit
Must enter the wild beasts form,
Or roam in the lonely jungle,
The sport of the cruel storm.
No ba by thou tears are falling,
In my heart there is no gloom,
For our Lord hath passed before thee
And rended the prison tomb.
So laid thee away my darl ng
With Il mothers longing pain,
But know through Jesus sometimes
shall find my baby again.

A STORY OF TALMAGE.

A SIOR I OF IAL MAGE.
The late DR.. Talmage was on
one occasion in the company of
some theological students, says
the Philadelphia Times. They.
fresh from the study of church
history, were laughing together
over the old Scholastic question:
"How many angels are supported
on the point of a needle?"
They were surprised when DIR.
Talmage turned to them and
said:
"Well, how many do you Think"
AS no one answered he went
on, with decision:
well, III tell you five.
And he justified his answer
with the following story:
One very stormy night he was
coming home late, and he noticed
"a light in the window of "a room
where he knew a poor woman
lived whose husband was at sea.
He wondered what kept her up
so late, and he went to see. He
found her hard at work sewing
by her lamp, while her five rosy
children were sound asleep be-
sides her.
There" said Dir. Talmage,
''was a needle supporting five
angels. "

LEARNING TO SWIM.

The value of swimming as an
exercise has been proved by
some of the most famous athletes,
and the mastery of this accom-
pishment, moreover, may some
day mean the saving of human
life. That boys and girls should
be taught to SWIM admits OF no
argument. AS it is, the majority
of children fear the water, and
much of this fear is due to the
misguided anxiety Of their par
ents. The trouble with begin
ners is that they make too much
of the task; provided the effort is
made, the slightest muscular eX-
ertion with suffice to keep one
afoat. How readily one may
learn to SWIM is shown IN the
June Delineator, by a expert III
the art, who describes the va
r1ous strokes, floats, diving, cos
tune, etc, in the simplest man
ner possible. Some striking pic
lures taken from life are shown.

.BABY'S BODY FOUND
LYING In CORN FIELD
Authorities Believe Little One Vas
Left There TO Starge and Die
From Exposure

BY the finding of the skeleton Of an
infant in corn field on the farm OF
James S. Mccartney, at Blue Ball, on
the Concord turnpike, the fact that a
brutal crime had been committed there
was made known. While the authori-
ties believe that the child was placed
in the field while alive and left there to
die from starvation and exposure, they
have no clue to the heartless wretch
who placed the babe there.
Mr.. Mccartney found the skeleton
which was apparently that cf child
about 8 weeks old. while he was cutting
corn on Saturday. He notified te po-
lice yesterday. Coroners Assistant
Chandler and Detective Francis are
making an investigation.
The skeleton of the child was finely
clothed and was lying face downward
on the ground. The fact that it was
lying face down leads the authorities
to believe that the child was deposited
in the field while alive.
The last time any work was done in
the corn field was on July 10, and the
body was not there then.
