A Document of 1868.

Albert T. Lindholm, of saltwater. is the

back TO 1853. which he has mounted on
a piece OF oak and framed. and has hung

verdict rendered by jury OF twelve high
officials OF Norway, at Oslo Court House,
where Christiana now stands, in June.
1853, and decided the legal ownership OF a
large estate. At the bottom of this novel
verdict hang twelve pieces OF beeswax
about the shape and size OF a small gold
watch. These were called seals In the
olden days when this verdict was rem
dered, and each one contains the seal of
one OF the jurors who decided the mai
ter.
When this verdict was rendered all Of
flcial documents were written on sheep
skin parchment II may also be stated

in vogue In the courts OF the United
states and also In Europe originated In
Scandinavia I'm the eleventh century.
The verdict was rendered during the
reign OF Christian III OF Denmark. The
contesting parties were Erik Bollsen--

power generator in connection with it's

the hand generator and greatly expe-
dites the work Of the operator in

generator places the exchange on a foot

business public with the best service.
Everything in the bustling little office

Mr. Mullen, the popular and accomo-
dating manager with u rig which great

is one of the incest traps to be seen on

added to the exchange, toll stations
established and new subscribers are be-

Yes. August Flower still has the

Death Of frankie StegaII.

On Friday Sept. 18th 1902 all that
was mortal Of frankie Stegall passed
away. When the news spread over the
community around Evergreen that lit
tie frankie Stegall was dead, every
heart was stricken with sadness and
every eye was filed with tears. This
was one OF the greatest shocks that had
ever befallen the community, when one
whose life was SO tender, so gentle, SO
kind, and so sweet and SO pure, was
so suddenly brought to a close in the
early hours OF the morning OF life.
frankie as every one called her was
just entering her teens, if she had lived
till some time in October she would
have been thirteen years old. While
her life was short she had not lived it in
vain, she accomplished a great mission
during her short stay oil earth by her
womanly and Christ like example. Did
any one love her? we hear hundreds Of
voices, exclaiming, yes, everybody loved
her, and more than that, she would
dare not allow any one to do more for
her than she did for them, she loved
everybody. Her life was that OF obedi
ence, sacrifice and love, and what can
now be said OF hercould with all due pro-
priety have been said to her face while
living because OF the Christ-liKe spirit
which sh. possessed.
Last August one year ago, through
the feeble effort OF the writer in part she
was led to exercise a living faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ, and at the close of
the meeting it was our happy privilege
to bury her with her Lord in Baptism.
When dying she still gave evidence OF
her faith in Christ. As her little sister
was standing by her bedside weeping
she threw her arms around her neck
Rugged and kissed her and told her not
to grieve after her, and thus realizing
the end was fast approaching. She
was submissive to the will of Him who
doeth all,things well.
To the dear parents and sisters and
brothers we would say in the last
words of frankie. don't grieye for
her," frankie has gone but never to be
forgotten.
And we know that all things work
together for good to them that love
God. to them who are the called accord
ing to his purpose, is the language
OF Paul in the Sth chapter of Romans.
Why this is best we may not know now
but God has said it is best. Nay God
comfort the broken hearted family, and
may he fill the vacancy in tho home
with his hallowed presence.

The blue eye indicates love and SEN
timent This eye belongs to the tenn
peratc or colder regions and Is asso-
ciated with temperate character. 1t
may glow with love. but 1t never
burns with that consuming flame which
marks the torrid black. 1t has
amlable dispositions and tastes that
are refined, IL mentally active and
usually of versatile intellect. The
light eyed races have always attained
II higher degree of civilization than
the dark ones, and that which holds
true Of nations will be found the same
in individuals.
The eyes which borrow their tint
from the summer sky dazzle and be
wilder, whether flashing in scorn or
melting In sorrow. The large blue eye
Is the type Of purity and peace and
thrills the heart at single glance. 1t
has a meaning that you can never for
get and an expression which tells Of
the trusting heart. 1t Is the eye which
haunts the lovers dream and has per
haps been praised by poets more than
any other color. Even the passionless
Wordsworth has told us:
"Those eyes, soft and capacious as n
cloudless sky, whose azure depths
their color emulates, must needs be
