April is the month that has long
been given to lovers, the month in
which Venus is the. goddess and her
little son Cupid is ever busy. The
month of weddings and betrothals,
the month in which ''the young
mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love-
The diamond is the precious stone
for April, the stately Easter lily
the flower, and Taurus the sign of
the Zodiac.
Most beautiful of all the stones
is the diamond, which is especially
appropriate to April, the month
most favored for the announcement
of .betrothals. And the diamond

IT Is to be regretted that the
usefulness of that great and here
tofore universally honored institu-
ton, the American National Red
Cross society, should be hampered
and possibly seriously injured by
the disSension between its members
which has lately been the subject
of such general discussion. Those
members who have cast doubts up
on Miss Barton's management of
the society may have good cause
for doing so, but, in disturbing the
public confidence in a woman who
has so long been considered the
personifcation of noble philan-
thlopy and honesty, they have very
probably also hurt the influence OF
the Red Cross.

New York friends Of John w.

of these two at Saratoga has 9

His individuality is much like his
fathers except that he has more
hnesse that the old man. He is
fond Of golf and automobiling,
and, like his father, has a weak

The story is that when the hands
are dealt Charlie is one Of the

Gone Home,

Died-Wednesdav morning, Septem-
Der 10, at 1872, of ptomaine poisoning
caused by fermentation in tho bowels,
Willie McKeever, oldest child of Mr..
and Mrs. Hugh McKeever, aged fifteen
years and three months.
The news of Willie Mckecver's death
Wednesday morning was a great shock
and grief to the community. He had
been i'll but two days and few knew that
his illness was liable to terminate fatally.
Yet in spite of all that the best medical
skill could suggest and execute, in spite
of all that devoted love could devise, the
end came peacefully and devoid of pain.
He seemed to realize the change that
was shortly coming and just before mid
night kissed all his dear'ones and babe
them goodbye, kicking up bravely until
it came to bidding little Statia, his only
sister, the long farewell.
Willie had always been a strong,
healthy, happy boy, kind to his brothers
and sister, a ~favorite with his playmates,
and mothers heart was bound up in him,
He loved his horse and the night before
he died he said, "Mother, if | 20, Leo can
have my horse" He started school
last week with high resolves andbrought
home a load of books Friday night, de-
claring his intention to lead his class this
year. Who knows, perhaps he may!
His death has saddened and turned to
serious thoughts the entire school and
especially has it touched the hearts of
those of his own grade.
Services were held Friday morning
from St. Patrick's church, conducted by
Rev. FIR. Rabsteinek, the pupils of the
9th and 9TH grades and his teachers at
tending in a body.
Loving friends sent choice gifts of
howers-the family a cross bearing the
inscription "Our Boy" the Lady Macca-
bees, a pillow; teachers and schoolmates,
a wreath; Masdames Leonberger, Jas.
Mcdonald, S. L. and w. H. Carroll,
Miss Fennell, Joe Cuskelly and others,
large bouquets; Joe McCadam in touch
ing tribute to his friends love for his
pony, Sent a floral spur. The beautiful
r~ose-colored casket was covered with
smilax and flowers.
To the aching hearts Of the parents
who grieve for their first born, to the
brothers and sister who will miss the
leader in all their plays and pleasures,
| and to the other mourning relatives and
friends, let the beautiful floral emblems
of the resurrection and the beautiful blue
sky and autumn sunshine speak Of a
hereafter where partlngs will be unknown
and where Willie awaits them safe in a
better world than this.
