reminded OF one Of the most successful
citizens OF my district. who had amassed

middle life was enabled to retire from
business and enjoy life. He was pune
tual IN all matters, and even when on
his deathbed he held 10 the motto
which had been his through young man
hood and rnaturer life. When the physi-
clans gave him UP and informed him
that he could not possibly live more
than few days longer ne simply be-

wanted done, and giving the names OF
the neighbors he wished to act as pail

the names for his good wife to write
down, he sank back on. his pillow and
for short time was unconscious. Sud
denly he opened HIS eyes and asked:
