! great tasks. before which less heroic
souls would have failed, but he was
tenacious. brave and patient until his
designs were accomplished.
when failing health decrced the adopt
ing OF a home in n foreign CLINE. he
choose TO go in his country's service, the
restless energy OF his soul brooking no
real arrest in his life-labors. In all NJ

Tender tributes from those whose lives

and that remote ultimate isle" Of the
Pacific where his mortal life was breathed
out. have come to the venerable parents
in their stricken home. telling them of
the lefty example of his life. of his n

in this world and His church and HIS
cause were dear to him even unto the

A letter from Captain Savage in
Manila. written to his wife's mother, for
whom ne ever cherished an affection as
dear as that sanctifed by the ties Of
blood, says:
Il knew Captain Harrell while con-
nected with the Seventh Amy Corps at
Savannah, Ca, and at Havana, Cuba.
Afterwards we served in China together.
and later renewed our friendship IN
Manila, where, through Captain Harrelis
gentleness, manhood and courtesy, all CT
us became friends. To me Eugene Har-
rell was a mar among men-a true gen.

courteous and gentle, and with it all SO
unassuming that his many excellencies
we,a not 1cvolorcd until one actually
became a friend. Among men he was
recognized as q good man, faithful and
loyal and having that peculiar quality
Of making friends, even among such a
strange collection of ncn as an Army
Division gfathers together. Every one
recognized Eugene Harrell as a worthy
man and true, giving him their conf
dencI and tust. All are sOrrOWed at his
passing away. l can truly say that he
made no enemies and was one Of the few
for whom every one had a good word to
say"
There he carried inviOlate into the
rigid discipline of military life. his heri-
tage of knightliness of manner and un-
failing consideration of others and the
same qualities that grappled to him as
with hooks of STEEL hundreds of hearts
at home made friends in plenty for him
wherever his lot was cast.
Some one has truly said that in all
Gods designs there are no broken col
umns. Eugene Harrell's life work was
done. In less than mans allotted time
many full, rich years had been given
that he might upIift others until they
caught his own outlook upon life. with
it's sublime possibilities, Illustrating
through it all, the perfect duties of gem
tleness and cheerfulness. StrOng-heart-
ed, unselfish, catholic in sympathy and
charity, he has but passed to the full
full ~fruition of his highest powers to join
with glad acclaim.
The shouts of those who triumph,
The songs Of those who feast"
May all Of those SO sorely bereft feel
the sweet, eternal faithfulnesS Of Him
who hath said, Z am the Resurrection
and the Life"
Those skies are not like earthly skies
With varying hues of shade and light,
Nor hath a need of suns to rise
To dissipate the gloom Of night.
There sweeps no deSOlating wind
Across that calm, serene abode.
The wanderer there, a home SHALL find
Within the Paradise of God"
