YOUNG LIFE GOES OUT.
Ruth Lewis Succumbs After Her
Long Illness.

From Mondays Daily.
Ruth, the only child of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. A. Lewis, died at her home, 42O State
street, at five o'clock yesterday morning.
This was the close of an illness covering
three months, and which baffled some of
the best medical talent. While it is not
certain just what the ailment was that
cut short the young life, it is believed to
have been either tubercular or spinal
meningitis. At times, it appeared as
though the patient was on the road to
recovery, but these CLEANS of light prov
ed to be false hopes.
Ruth was fourteen years of age, and
was bright and attractive girl. She was
advancing rapidly in her studies, and had
been admitted to the eighth grade at
the high school building. She was loved
by all who knew her, and was the idol
of her parents, whose fondest hopes CEN
tered in her. Her untimely death, as
she stood before the portal of young
womanhood, with all the happy future
before her budding with untold promise,
is a sad blow to her parents and other
relatives, and source of keenest sor-
row to her friends. The sympathy of all
will be extended to the bereaved ones,
in this time of their affliction.
The funeral will be held from the
house at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon,
and the services will be conducted by
Rev. T. M. Rule of st. Paul, assisted
by DR.. Geo. FL. Davis, rector of st.
Johns Episcopal church. The interment
will be had at Glenwood cemetery.

An Eloquent Sermon Delivered BY
Rev. TX. ShelIenberger.
imagery Consists in Character and
Not the Physique.
Memory Is a Wonderful Thing, Capable
Of Unlimited Development.
Imagery of God Is Majestic.-.Train
Your lnteIIects.
From Mondays Daily.

SiohA NA0huAy . Ddhiy.
"Man Ged's Image" was the subject of
the sermon preached last night by Rev,
j. X. Shelienberger, pastor of the Chris
tan church. He said in part: "In the
beginning God made the beast of the
earth after its kind, and the cattle of
their kind, and everything that creepeth
upon the ground after its kind" but of
man he said, "Let us make man in our
own image, and after our own likeness -
Sc, God created man in his own image,
male and female created he them" and
gave them dominion over the earth, and
everything that moveth and iveth upon
it. In what does the imagery consist !?
mot in physique, but in character"
God is spirit" SO is your character.
One. God has an intellect-ininite.
You have an intellect in miniature, with
an unlimited capacity for growth. What
are you doing with it? Are you train
ing it to think and thereby to wrestle
with the genuine problems of your life?
Or are you dwarfing it by neglect? Your
mind is master of your body. 1t tells
your body what to do and it always
Obeys. But you tell your intellect what
to think. 1t is yours to sit enthroned
high on the throne of your own being
Are you the master or slave of yourself
''Your intellect has an eternity in which
to grow. Oh what is it that mans in
7tellect has not done, in astronomy, in
geology, in biology, in physiology, in
anatomy, in theology, in anthropology,
in electricity, in discovery and still it is
only on the eve of conquest. Men; wom
en-, what can you not do, if you only
really live. You can have all time and
eternity in which to grow if you choose.
Two. "God has a memory infinite.
You have memory in miniature. That
memory is wonderful thing. 1t is your
characters storehouse. 1t too is capable
of unlimited development.
''The material with which you store
this house is of your own choosing, and
when once placed therein it can never
be taken out. 1t may be covered up and
buried, but it is there to be uncovered
at the very time when we want most not
to see it. Oh, what are the thoughts,
the deeds and the facts with which you
are filling your memory? The question
is vital one to boy, girl, man or wom-
an. The day is coming when you shall
call on that memory. If it fails you then
you fail. A memory packed and cram
med with splendid things was the Sec
ret of Webster's reply to Hayne. This
was the crisis of his life and his memory
failed him not. In the temptation of the
wilderness Jesus drew on his memory
and conquered. Boys, thwart that mem
DRY by the cigarette and the wine glass
and your life is failure before it be-
gins. Remember you have an eternity
in which to grow if you choose. Oh,

BOILER COMPOUND.
Insurance Inspector Says That Soda
Ash Makes the Best Known.

I. Ell. Pearn, of Minneapolis, Inspector
for the Hartford Boiler Insurance COM
pany, was in the city Saturday and in
spected the boilers in use in the various
public school buildings, which are insured
with the Hartford company. When told
that the school board had ordered bar
rel of boiler compound to prevent the
boilers and tubes from scaling and pit,
ting he smiled and remarked that none
of the compounds that are sold for high
price are of practical value, to speak of.
He said that the school board had vast.
ed money if it paid $32 barrel for COM
pound
When asked whether there was any
thing that would prevent scaling and
pitting, Mr., Pearn replied that the best
thing known is soda ASH which can be
secured for cent and a half pound. A
barrel of it will cost six to seven dol
lars. This, he said, makes the best COM
pound knawn, and is inexpensive"
