Death, ever busy reapiDg his hsr-
vest, has entered the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. Alonzo Gass, French Lick,
Ind, and taken the Joy and pride OF
their home, their youngest boy, Eek
ler, and left in his place sorrowing
hearts, and sad memories Of his
childish prattle and pleasant ways.
A bright, Joyous, laughing, little
fellow, almost worshipped by papa,
mamma and two older brothers.
The pet OF all who knew him.
Little Eckler was born March i6,
1899, died Feb. A, 1908.
He was a veritable ray OF sunshine
in the hearts of parents and friends.
And the hold he had on the hearts
and affections Of friends and neigh
bors was shown by constant attend
ance during his illness.
The last week OF his life was one
of intense suffering from blood pois-
on, and death came as a relief to
him and the loved ones who so anx'
iously ministered unto him.
For verify we know, "Of such is
the Kingdom OF Heaven.
And, Oh beyond the shadow land,
where all is bright and fair.
We know full we'll, Little Ecker
waits to welcome papa and mann
ma there.
For again they hope to meet him
when the day Of life is fled;
There in heaven with Joy to greet
him where no farewell tears are
shed. A FRIEND.

Evansville Courier:-A travelling
man told story yesterday on q
brakeman of the Southern railway,
which is too good to keep. He said
that last week lady and child
boarded the train at Lincoln City to
come to Evansville. At Boonville
the lady accompanied some ladies
to the platform to bid them good
bye. When the train was about to
pull out, the brakeman, believing
that the child belonged to one OF the
ladies who had left the train, Po-
Iitely lifted it from the car 70 the
platform. Just then the train moved
on. In the meantime the mother
of the child returned to her seat.
Not finding her child present she
Immediately hurried through the
car in search Of it. Her efforts
proving fruitless she appealed to the
brakeman to assist her in search OF
her child. 1t then dawned upon
the brakeman the mistake he had
made, and he lost no time in signal
ing the engine crew to stop the train.
BY this time the train was several
miles this side Of Boonville and this
necessitated the return Of the train
to the depot. As luck would have
! il the child was still at the depot in
care Of the ladies who had gotten
of Of the train, and great was the
joy OF the mother. After the child
was returned to her the train resum-
ed its trip to this city, with a hap
pier mother aboard, not mention
ing the happiness Of the brakeman,
whose error had caused him to sweat
tears of a crocodile.

BEAUTIFUL, BLUE EYED HAlDEE.

BEAUTIFUL, BLUE EYED HAIDEE.
GREEK VALENTINE.
Between the meadow and the sea,
Oh, lovely maid, look at thee,
Till iorturng doubt is painful,
And yet heaven within my eyes,
Provoking Joy and swift surprise,
Imprins no look dsdainful.
Often within those eyes OF blue
/ see a glance so kind and true
Its welcome seems undoubted,
And then come spectral shades about
To rule the pretty picture out,
When all my hopes are routed.
Like the rarest tinted rose
In richly favored close
Within some princely garden,
Thou standest in the ranks serene,
The matchless, fair, unquestioned queen,
OF lovelness the warden.
Beautiful, superb Haidee,
None there is more fair to
Than you the wide world over
Not Helen Of the Trojan days,
Dido's nor Cleopatra's face
Could rapture so lover.
And now if you would grant to me
The utmost that high hope can see
No force our hearts shall sever
But in a realm Of subtlest grace
NY love shall have the crowning place,
And Joy will reign forever.
