DEATHS ROLL CALL.

On May 20, 1903, after an illness of
four weeks of heart disease, Frank j..
Smith died at the home of his parents
in Jamestown, aged 20 years. All
the care that kindness and skill could
beStOw were of no avail. He realized
his fate, but faced it with resigna-
tiOn and fortitude that were remark
able. Frank was possessed of every
quality that goes to make a model
young man and his untimely death is
lamented by all who knew him. His
funeral, which was held from the
Catholic church at MarySburg, was
under the auspices of the court of G.
0. F., of which the deceased was an
esteemed member, and was one of the
largest ever held in this place. Rev.
McCabe preached the funeral sermon,
which was very effective. Frank
needs not our sympathy, our words,
nor tears, but to the mOurners at the
new made grave the assurance is given
ClldU dll VI UIlClI IIIClIdo "oAiSt
rejoice if they could tighten the bur-
den of sorrow and lift the pail OF
darkness that now enfolds them as
they realize the loss of their devoted
son and loving brother.
Sadly we laid him away to his rest
Near the ground where in schOoldays
he played
And we thought of the hopes that
were wrecked eyermOre,
And how many heartacheS it made.
Why was he taken, we mortals can't
tell,
But God in his mercy knows best,
And we should be resigned tho it
is very hard
To lay away dear ones to rest.
And a sweet thought should come
| to those left to mourn,
To comfort them while they remain
| That if we live a life here of prayer
We shall meet with our loved one'
again.
We shall meet in the realms of eter
nal light,
Around our dear Fathers thone,
And hear His sweet voice saying
well done my child,
While the angels will welcome u
| home.

THOUGHT HE WAS POISONED.

George Fellows, a lad twelve years of
age, suffering with a cold, took three
doses of a supposed cure for consumption
within few minutes of each other just
after noon today. The medicine made
him feel rather queer and he imagined
he was poisoned. Several doctors Off
ces were visited before one was found
who prescribed an antidote. The boy
gave vent to his inward feelings, acted
like one in a serious state of seasickness
after which he felt more like himself. He
was more scared than hurt.
