evening of the 28th of January his
church has lost one of it's most en-
inent ministers and we, his CO.
workers, a beloved brother. He
left us when he might well have
anticipated added years of useful
ness. Not by wasting and painful
disease did he reach the end of his
journey but without a word of
warning he passed to the beyond.
His was a noble form and COM
handing presence. His features
were impressive and harmonious.
When Bro. Marsh passed away
from earth he found a welcome to
the company of the redeemed that
must have thrilled his being with
most aesthetic joy.
While we sympathize most ten
derby with the bereaved family
and express to them the assurance
OF our prayers, let us renew our
conservation to the service of God
and the church, and emulate the
good example of u departed
brother whom we hope to meet in
the better land and in the presence
of Him whom we are and whom
we serve.

One little boy did not think
what a reflection he was making
on Anne of Denmark when he

A bishop gave a prize book call

THE DREAMER.

The peculiar phases of human
life, impress themselves almost
painfully upon the mind in the
midst of this intensely, practical
age. AS we go about our daily
tasks, bearing our burdens and
fighting u battles many of them,
place enough, yet the
inner self exerts itself and wings
its flight to that ethereal world,
where u imaginations and brain
pictures assail the present and
show us the full conviction of our
duality. Yet this very dream life
saves us from desperation and
often dispair.

hopes of a happier tuture9 What
miserable beings we would be

wheat, oats and rye. In the centre
panel is a striking picture of Gov.
ernor A. M. Dockery. Upon
semicircular shelves at the end of
the exhibit may be seen tier upon
tier of grain seeds in fine glass
jars-nearly every variety Of farm
seed known to Missouri soil. In an
alcove at the front is. Missouri's
fine wool exhibit, which received a
gold medal at the Pan.American
over all competitors. This exhibit
is in glass boxes and was collected
by Prof Waters, of the State Agri-
cultural College, from past springs
shearing. There are nineteen of
these boxes and those interested in
fine wool should not fail to see
them. Adjoining the wool exhibit
is a cabinet of specimens of Nilsson
ri cotton, and it is an interesting
fact that Missouri was the first
State to make a display of cotton in
the Cotton palace. In former times
Southeastern Missouri produced
much cotton, but the formers found
other products mor profitable and
certain. Still the State has vet an
annual output of about $4,000
bales. Fine tobacco is another
product that will be exhibited later
on. The Missouri agriculture exhibit
is further enriched by small bales
of last falls growth of hay and
with specimens of tallest grasses
that are so characteristic of the
fruitful soil of Missouri. But, after
all, it is the magnificent display of
corn in a rich setting of color and
decoration that renders this exhibit
of such peculiar beauty and attrac.
tiveness.
AS a final bit of showiness, and
perhaps the first to be seen, is a
splendid effect in decoration enclos-

the exhibit entrance a copy of the

al exhibit at the Charleston Is.
CO. Exposition, sends the States.
man a copy of the News and Cour-
Ter, of that city, which comments
thus on Imperial Missouri:
The Missouri commissioners yes
terday perfected and completed the
installation of their exhibits at the
Exposition. The results r a Sc
ries of marvellously beautiful crea-
tions, which are attracting the con-
tinuous and admiring attention of
visitors. Artistic taste has been
displayed in the arrangement of
the fine specimens of Missouri's
resources and every detail of the
installation has been marked by
skill and good Judgment. A well
known South Carolinian, after care,
fully inspecting the Missouri eX-
hibits yesterday, said: "Several
friends of mine had about made up
their minds to migrate to Texas,
but if they could see these wonder
full specimens of what the people
produce in Missouri am sure they
would 60 there install"
The Missouri commission has
brought to Charleston a display
which will do much to emphasize
the fact that Missouri is the empire
State of the West, not only in the
immediate products of the soil, but
in manufactures of all kinds and
in commercial activity. The COM
missioners say that a large number
of Mlssourians will visit Charleston
during the Exposition and add
their encouragement and support to
the magnificent enterprise which
this city has inaugurated. The
Missouri Press Association has
under consideration a special invi-
tation to visit the Exposition early
in February. 1t is hoped the edi;
tors will come here.

An amusing anecdote is related in
the Worcester Diocesan Calendar re-
specting a venerable white-haired
clergyman who was the recipient Of
several simultaneous requests from
young ladies for lock of his hair. The
requests were complied with, the cler-
gyman being pleased to fulfill wishes
which seemed founded on sentiment
of respect; and all went well until his
wife received this note: Dear Mrs.
-: Won't you please ask your hus-
band to send me just little lock Of
his hair? We have all been taking les
sons in making hair flowers. So many
of the other girls asked him, and he
sent it to them, that thought would
rather ask you to get it for me. Won't
you please do this for me? 1t is so
hard to get white hair for lilies of the
yalley."-London Globe.

The Noted Italian Bandit Is Engaged
in Writing the Thrilling Story
Of His Life.

The brigand Musolino is occupying
his time in prison at Rome writing
his memoirs. Several publishers are
competing for the honor of giving
the book to the world, knowing that
there is money~in it. This Musolino
also knows, and demands 100000 lire,
with 20 per cent royalty.
The Italian continues to worship
at the shrine of Musolino. Commit
tees of women have been formed in
Florence, Lucca, Aquilla, and other
towns for the purpose of obtaining
signatures for their petition to the
queen demanding the brigand's par
don. The police have just seized a
manifesto signed by number of
women, which set forth that Italy
is tired of brawnless men and wants
to see at the head Of the government
real men like Musolino. The mani
festo concludes with these words:
after Garibaldi, the noblest son of
Italy is Musolino."
Prof. Lombroso, the psychologist,
when asked to explain this feminine
enthusiasm for vulgar murderer.
said: Great crimes always exer-
else a fascination for. women, espe-
cially if the crimes have an apparent
romantic or chivalrous aspect. Three
fourths of the women live in the
