Words so beftting the pure soul of Mar
gerite A. Quinn. who departed this life
last Sunday morning, after ten long
weeks of suffering, which she bore with
so much patience and resignation to the
will OF Divine Providence. There was
never a murmur or complaint heard to
pass her lips. Kind ana considerable for
those around her, as she had always been
through life. so were her last moments.
She lived true, quiet and peaceful
life, and by her amiable and lovable dis
position she endeared herself to many
true friends AS she lived, so she died,
"Oh, SO peacefully" trusting in her Sa-
viour, whom she never forgot moment
during tho long hours Of her pain; indeed,
her last words were sweet suppllcations
OF prayer to her God. Gone but not for

THE WHOLE TRUTH.

Bemidji Sentinel: Seth Low was
defeated fors mayor of Greater New
York largely because after his first
election he chose TO disregard the men
who made him mayor in the distri-
button of the patronage at his dispo-
sal. He was and is a good man but
no man good or bad can hope to stay
in politics who will not stand fnr the
friends who stood for him. Elect a
man to any Office you choose and have
that man turn around after he gets in
and smite the hand that gave MIN
help and comfort through the CAM
paign and it is thousand to ons
shot that the next turn of the wheel
sees Mr. Cold Feet is turned down.
You can talk about the blow to good
government and all that stuff until
you are black in the face cut if you
put a man in Office who will not
stand by his friends after he gets in
just so certain it ia that your good
man goes down just as quick as he
can be reached by the ballot.
