Obituary.
Rands.

The funeral of the late Mrs. George
from the residence of her mother, Mrs.
Williams. The sympathy of hundreds
is extended to the bereaved husband
and relatives The deceased was a
most lovable girl and, as pretty Maude
Williams, made hosts of friends.
She attended st. Mary's academy for
many years. and was a talented mu-
sician. While at st. Mary's she deeply
endeared herself to all the Sisters, and
she had for them the warmest affection.
One of her dying requests was to see
her two faVorite teachers, a request
that was granted.
The number of people who attended
the funeral and the many beautiful
floral tributes testified equally to the
love felt for the lovely young wife and
the esteem in which the family was
held. The services were conducted by
copal church. of which the deceased
was member. Miss Owen, Miss Glea-
son, Messrs. Whiteman and Dunbar of
the st. Marys cathedral choir rendered
the beautiful funeral music.
To the bereaved husband, mother and
other relatives words of consolation are
fruitless. Only the loving help of the
Divine One can comfort them, and the
remembrance of the beautiful life and
character of their dear one. She pos
sessed every sweet. womanly grace of
mind and heart, and has escaped for
ever all life's strifes and cares. May
her rest be sweet

What the Raising of Melons Did For
One Town
(St. Louis obe-Democrat.)

In 1885 William S. Ross, Familiarity
known as Uncle Billy" having lived
for some time in Texas, returned to
Alma, with some melon seeds in his
pocket-a bare handful. In the spring
following he planted them in piece of
rich bottom land, and in August he ped
died the fruit about Salem and Kin
mundy and among his neighbors.
Later, growing more fruit than the To-
cal market would consume, he shipped
barrel of the melons to Chicago. The
commission merchant on Water street
tore off the canvas, gave a startled
glance at the little netted globes inside,
and said: What in h will they send
us next from Egypt" However, he
took one of the unnamable things to a
fancy grocery; between them they split
it open, dropped on little salt at haz-
ard, and tasted it, not sure whether
they would be poisoned or not. The
fancy grocer smacked his lips and said:
Til take all of those things you can
furnish. But what do you call them?''
The commission merchant wrote Mr.
Ross to know what he called them, and
Mr.. Ross answered, 1.-THE Alma gem
melon" Thus the trade in melons be-
gan. One farmer after another bought
seed, followed his neighbours example
and planted. Alma and the neighboring
country has developed wonderfully as
a result. Seventy thousand dollars a
year has been poured into that neigh
borhood for twenty years, total of
81, 100000.
Men who were once so poor that they
had no windows in their house no linen
on their tables or beds, are now pros
porous. Pianos, books, good clothes,
fine horses and carriages have come.
The whole plane of living has been
raised. Land which was once worth $40
per acre can now scarcely be bought for
800. Where once there was only pinch
ing adversely, and little hope for the
future, prosperity now grniles In one
instance, when the melons were yield
ing little better price than at present,
an acre of land yielded $3.50. From $500
to 5000 an acre in return is not uncom-
mon at all.
Through the whole month of August
and into the first or second week of

It is an old saying that six per cent
men rule the world" Money out at
interest makes a man independently
rich quicker than anything else. One
should always get good security when
lending money. Never lend to 4
friend. because that leads to the loss
of both the money and friend. The
best security in. the world is a real
estate mortgage. on good improved
property in a city like Salt Lake. There
ere firms which make a business of
lending money for clients on such Sc
ourities, and the business has proven
very successful and satisfactory fof
many years. McGurrin q Co. of Salt
Lake City are the most prominent in
this line. The owner of the money
gets six per cent a year. and holds the
security himself Besides the security
OF the mortgage. the bond is Suaran-
teed by McGurrin & Co. SO there is
the double security. Write 10 McGur-
rim & CO. for further particulars.

EDUCATE YOURSELVES
CATHOLIC DOCTRINE.


In his sermon last Sunday Father
French urged the students to cultivate
thorough acquaintance with the
tea ching and practices of the Catholic
Church. We hope that those to whom
this advice was addressed will fully
realize it's serious Importance. Not only
should the Catholic student be an eX-
emplary member of the Church, but ne
should be able to explain intelligently
the teachings of that Church to those
who seek enlightenment. If he fails
in either he is a sorry product. Man
kind in general are attracted by the
truth, and nowadays, when bigotry is
fast vanishing they are more than ever
ansious to get correct view of things.
The young man who has the advantage
of Catholic training is naturally expect
ed to be conversant with Catholic doc
trine, and his opinion is often sought on
questions pertaining thereto. 1t is no
excuse for him that he is not priest
every educated Catholic layman should
be we'll qualified, and should regard II
his duty, to furnish the desired lntor-
nation. Notwithstanding his oollga-
tons in this regard it sometimes hap
pens that during his years at college
the student reluctantly and unprontab-
" attends classes in Christian doctrine
and dogma, believing such time wasted,
and afterward, when out in the world,
and consulted on these subjects he mas
to plead ignorance. A pitiable spec
tacle, surely, and one. which we hope
