mer day,
Where the rustling graves. in re-
QUEEN moan,
Its dirges chanted o Ter the crumbling
clay,
OF one whose yearning soul was like
my own.
Whose burning hopes mapped out his
life career,
With glowing visions of success to
be,
Whose thrilling voice was to the list
ming ear.
Like trumpet's call to certain vic
tory.
He thought; he toiled; and yet to all
was seen,
As the years passed on, in life's
ftful dreams,
That much he loved blue skies and
fields OF green,
And the murmuring fall of pearling
streams,
The breath of spring, warm summer s
fervid kiss,
The travelling vines, in clustering
wood and void,
The song of birds and childhood ;
artless bliss,
To him were studies as life's cur
rent rolled.
Ambition lured with its tempting fruit.
It's mirage fair and bright imagined
land.
Which changed to phantoms in his
hot pursuit,
Or left ashes in his clinging hand;
Nor did his honors to him Joy or love.
Contented mind or dove-eyed peace
e'er bring;
But cares were set upon his wrinkled
brow,
Ere yet had passed his youth IS glad
spring.
BY the sickly light of the midnight
lamp,
In books of strange device, he long
ing sought
To learn that love no poverty could
damp
Or try to fathom what no book had
taught.
Mid the myriad stars he oft would
peer,
Or pensive gaze on bush, and brook
and hill,
While all along the earth there moved
a fear,
A deep, sad voice which to him
BODIED i'll.
One night a zephyr foated from the
sky,
And whispering said, 30 searching
son of earth,
Not long for thee remains the hope
less sigh.
The quest to know, what all this
life is worth;''
Then through his quickened frame like
lightning crept
A pain and the heart was forever |
still;
The student toiler meath the moss
grass slept,
The soul, untrammeled roamed all |
space at will.

In Memory of Mrs. Neppie HOIcOmb

On Sept. 9th, 1908, the death
angel came and claimed and car
ried away Neppie, the beloved
wife of D. Holcomb. Like the
lightning's flash from the blue
vaulted sky the summons came.
and where only few hours be-
fore was life, health and happi-
ness. clouds of gloom. thick and
dark, gathered over the once hap
py home. Oh, how we miss Nep-
pie in her home. She always
met US with such cheerful words
and pleasant smiles. 1t was
surely for some wise purpose
that God called her home. Soon
shall all tears be wiped from our
eyes, all the divine purpose shall
be unfolded, the darkness of
providence dispelled. But best
of all her grief stricken loved
ones have the encouraging hope
that she rests in the shade of
the trees" The funeral servi-
ces were conducted by her pas
tor, Rev. J. W. Tucker, and after
singing that sweet song Asleep
IN Jesus. they laid her body to
rest in Tabernacle cemetery.

 NEW YORK, March 7.--New York city is soon to have another fine trot- ting track for gentlemen drivers. It is to be half mile course and is to be To- cated close to the upper end of the Harlem speedway. Several prominent owners and noted road drivers, includ- ing c. K. Billings former Mayor Hugh J. Grant and Frederick Gerken, 1t is said on high authority, have secured a plot of land in the ,neighborhood of Two Hundred and Twelfth street, near the Harlem river, at cost of nearly half million dollars, and 1t is their in- tention to construct one of the finest gentlemen's tracks in the country.
 The spot is said to be midway be- tween InWood and Kingsbridge and well situated, for drivers to reach by way of the speedway. The track, 1t is understood, will be completed in time for the early fall racing. MT. Billings has recently erected some of the hand somest private stables in this city on Washington Heights, and the new track would be most convenient for his famous string of trotters to work on daily.

FATHER BILL" IN NEW RoLE.
Hartford Turfman Attempts to Swear

Hartford Turfman Attempts to Swear e Off His New York Taxes.
 Father Bilp' Daly has arisen to the occasion once again. lie decided yes terday to swear off his taxes in New York state, following the lead of other people of importance who have too much money. To this end he journeyed to the Brooklyn city hall and argued the matter at length with the officials in charge.
 Father Bill'' came up from Graves end in style, too. He hitched up his pair of trotters to the family carriage and brought the Daly menage along en- tire, to make the best impression pos sible.
 s'Them two trotters can take the whole family in less than 2:3O," said Father Bill" And they probably could, as Daly is a connoisseur in trot- ters.
 Daly claimed that he had paid $2,- 500 taxes in Hartford, and that that is his legal residence. His place il Gravesend, with the big string oi horses, which he is getting ready fol Bennings, in "Father Bills" opinion should not be taxed.
 Father Bill'' has escaped judgments in turf way, and it is pretty nearly even betting that he will be permitted to join the ranks of the swearing of taxes brigade. But in this event it will be gall and wormwood to the Sage of Hartford" that the matter has been so long overlooked.
