don. He possessed IN high degree the
charm OF personality, and was the en-
oodiment OF the finest qualities that 20
TO make up truly noble character.
In the Christian home of his parents
his young intellect was developed, while
bis manly department and innate polite
ness won the admiration Of ali who
knew him. 1t was his tenderness OF
heart and loyalty to duty that made him
the helper and trusted companion of
those so near and dear to him; and
though the young as we'll as the old
"must one By one all .tile on through the
narroU aisles Of pain" yet when the
darkness falls just as the morning light
Is full OF promise, and the sun sets on
Iong-cherished hopes, then is the mys-
terry of Providence, to which we bow
with aching hearts. There is comfort in
knowing that his pure spirit still lives
IN the Infinite realm OF immortal life.
Amid tears and sobs from young and old
he wss laid to rest in the family ceme-
terry. Soon the flowers OF spring viii
bloom on his grave. while birds carol
their mathis and vespers. The sun
shine Of Heaven beamed bright on his
waking and the song that he heard was
"The Seraphim's Song"
Death loves shining mark,
He takes the happy, winsome boy
The first born from the mothers arms,
The fathers pride and Joy.
Death leaves our hearts bleeding
while we .pass under the rod;~
He takes the treasured darling
And gives him back to God.
To God who cannot err
In His wise, divine decree;
BY death He opened wide the door
To let the spirit free.
-OEE VINO LOVED HIM.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old.
fashioned remedy for con.
sumption. 'Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive SO and Ioc
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
TODD the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionis sthemod.
ern method of feeding fat tc
the consumptive. Pork is toe
rough for sensitive stomachs,
Scott's Emulsion is the mos,
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

The West, somehow, has come to be
a condition rather than place. After
days in a luxurious train, the casual
traveller finds himself in the cities Of
the Pacific with the feeling that here
are not the differences. the strange
ness, the Westernness that he had eX-
pected. The real West which he has
pictured so fondly. the free. the hearty
the fascinating, seems in some degree
to have escaped him. And presently
he discovers that the condition which
we call Western is singularly mis-
placed In the West; that the most
