Roses,

Roses.
Lovely and sweet Is the wild rose,
Blooming DER vale and hill.
It's fragrance OF the by gone years.
Is lingering with us still
Yet the fairest sweetest wild rose.
May be broken by rudest hands
May be thrown in the mlre TO perish,
Or cast on the burning sands.
But the dear rose of the garden,
Receives the tenderest care.
And the master watches DER 1t,
ASH were some Jewel rare.
Then the soft sweet winds of June,
Lure the dainty petais out,
while the butterflies and hummiDg birds.
Garry the Lows about.
And sweeter flower blooms not,
In all our happy land,
It's the glory OF tho garden.
WORTHY a princes hand
The Wild rose yields Its fragrance.
Alike to rich and poor.
Grows In the field beside the corn,
And blooms at the cottage door.
And the garden rose sheds perfume,
For those who old II dear.
Smiles brightly when the world Is glad,
And sweetest when It's drear.
And you dear Rose Of the home life,
VIII scatter life's blessings know,
Give smiles and love to the dear ones,
And help to the children Of woe,
Oh we love the fragrant wild-rcse,
And the rose Of the garden too,
But sweeter ana batter than these,
My dear Rose Charlotte are you.
So wish YOU Joy of your birthdays
In oil the years to come.
Ana may roses strew your pathway,

toned. 1t was open little way Mt
the bottom. Sendal knelt down and
thrust out his head. He saw the de-
serted street below, the damp pave
ment, the lamps glimmering in the
mist, the dark face of the building
checkered with light colorcd awnings
drawn up before the many windows.
''Well,' said lie, rising. "I'll get back
to the office. BY the way, have you
sent for Aldrlch: He was the last man
with Ross. He may know what was
on the poor fellows mind"
I'm going over to his rooms" said
the detective. "lIc lives in the Wilton.

Bradford Ald1ich was man who
had more money than he could spend,
though lie was diligent in his attempts
to dispose Of his income. His rooms In
the Wilton We're ultra luxurious. Ev-
erytling in them bespoke the wealthy
sybarite. Even the bathrobe in which
he received Sendal and the detective
was a truly artistic creation. and he
wore over it u suit Of silk pajamas as
dainty us gossamer.
"Oh, what do you tell me?" lie cried
when the sad news was disclosed to
| him. is it possible? Is it possible"
You are surprised" said Sendnl. who
had slight acquaintance with Aid
rich. Did he seem very much down on
his luck this EVENING""
| Aldrich was setting out some glasses,
with whisky and carbonic water. The

nous drink of the liquor. Poor Ross

YES, yes; money-and his losses.

manded Sendal WAS he in debt to

"oh, no; no, no! Not a penny. He
never asked me-
You came straight home after leav-
ing him:"
No." said Aldricli. II took long
walli-way up the avenue end-nnd all

Sendal said 10 more. The detective
asked few questions about Ross de-
spondency as 1t had been expressed to
Aidricl, and made some notes In lit

rich alone with his whisky and water.

"A man who's always had money

They separated Mt the door Of the

IN MEMORIUM.

When death came to the home
of Solomon Blum last week and
took away the loving father and
husband, the community lost one
of it's most excellent citizens, and
was bowed down in grief over the
sad event. Mr.. Blum lived near
Rockbridge with his wife and
children and was one of the indus
trious and earnest men that we
are proud to call American citi-
zens. He was just in the prime
of life, being about forty three
years of age, he had won the re-
spect and highest regard of his
large circle of acquaintances, and
had reached the position where he
might give himself to the enjoy
ment of family and friends, when
death overlook him.
Mr.. Blum will be sadly missed
in the community. His hands
were always willing to do any
thing which might aid neighbor
or friend, and was man on whose
character one might rely with per-
feet assurance. Mr.. Blum's death
was due to typhoid fever, which
he had contracted about six weeks
ago.
His funeral services were held
on Tuesday of last week st.
Johns Evang e | ical Lut h e n
Church near Enterprise, of which
he was a faithful member and
earnest worker. Rev. Spoehr of
Logan conducted the services,
and large number of neighbors
and friends were present to attest
the esteem and regard in which
the deceased was held.
