was success, but IL would have been
more OF success had the ladies been
able TO secure suitable room to hold
the bazaar in. They first opened the

moved the bazaar to Bells hall. They
cleared $4,000 from bazaar. A picture,

Common Lot of Man.

There is no use worrying, fretting
and losing sleep because some one has
found fault with what you do. 'Tis the
common lot OF man in business. The
merchant doesn't please all OF his GUS
toners the postmaster is cuffed and
kicked for alleged mistakes the rail-
road agent is frequently backed up in
the corner and given to understand this
that and the other thing the butcher
is forever reminded Of the tough steak,
and even the minister finds it hard TO
please all the congregation with his
best sermons. II you do not believe this
ask these men. The newspaper man
gets more than his share OF 1t and is ex-
pected to get out cheerful newspaper
all the same. A man befriends another
for years and is turned down and abused.
Such things are not pleasant, but they
always have been and doubtless always
will be and the man who goes through
them the easiest is the one who pays
least attention to them and goes right
along trying to be pleasant and useful.

Harry Whitmore was born in Rcyu-

20 years and days old at time Of death.
He was member Of the Baptist church,
an exemplary young man, well liked by
every person who was acquainted with

severe blow to his parents, brothers and
sisters, and has cast sadness over his
numerous friends in this place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitmore have the
deep sympathy OF their many friends In
this their time Of sorrow. Death
has not only taken one Of their be-
loved sons, but the indications now
are that soon they will lose their old

is being sapped away by consump-
tion. Minnie went TO Casper, Wyo-

tion as school teacher in hope that
the change of climate would restore her
health, but the change was not made in
time and she has been compelled to re-
sign her school. She will return home
