"Of Such Is the Kingdom Of
Heaven.

Gladys, the first born of DIR.
and Mrs. G. M. Mccain of st.
Maurice, La, became an angel at
$3.50 Monday evening, August Is,
1904, at the age of one year, nine
months and one day.
The poor little darling fingered
through an illness of four long
weeks. She bore her suffering
with remarkable patience, and
transmission was peaceful going
to sleep. With sad and broken
hearts we laid her little body
ssunder the Sod" but we are
happy that we can look up with
a smile through our tears, and
know that it was only the beau
tiful little body SO wasted by
sickness and disease. for we know
that her little spirit had already
winged its happy flight to the God
who gave it.
She was a snow white rosebud
of innocence and purity, that God
in His infinite goodness, has
gathered before it was blighted
by sin or sorrow, and placed it
among the never fading garlands
of the angels where it shall bloom
throughout eternity.
Her beautiful brown eyes, her
dear little auburn head, her sweet
winning ways, her little prattling
tongue will be SADLY missed
in the home-how sadly, God
alone knows-but the dear ones
are thinking with sweet resigna-
tons in their hearts that "He
doe tn all things WE'LL"
There is a little vacant chair
and an empty place in their home
that can never be filled, and yet
they know that "In Heaven their
angels do always behold the face
Of my Father" and they are
comforted, for we know that
when we feel the little ones
snatched from our clasp, they
are clasped In the arms of angels.
She is sleeping in the shadow
of the .pines. They mourn and
sigh above her resting place.
There bloom bright summer
flowers; there the birds sing their
mathis and their yespers; there
soft showers fall, refreshing the
grass carpet; there is nature in
most peaceful repose. and there
lies buried the freshness of the
young father and mothers hearts,
May each one Of those who
loved her SO devotedly be willing
to say,
ssSince Thou hast asked
me to resign,
What most l priced, it
ne'er was mine,-
l only yield Thee what
is Thine
Thy Will Be Done,- is the
prayer of
ONE WHO LOVED HER.

a Western exchange has revived the
following old story which illustrates
the value of a single vote. The story
was probably put in circulation in the
West before the recent election and
has Just worked its way East. AL
though the election is over and the VIC
tory won. the story nevertheless de-
serves to be passed on and remem-
bered. A Rhode Island farmer of 1911
on his waysto the polls was too late to
vote. because he stopped to rescue one
of his pigs which was wedged in a
fence crack. He was a Federalist and
opposed to the war. A Republican. or
war man. was elected to the legisla-
ture froE, his district by one vote.
The legislature elected by one vote a
war senator. whose one vote in the
United States Senate in 1872 confirmed
the nomination of jackson as major
general of the United States army.
General jackson became the idol of the
country. was elected President, kicked
all the Wings out of Office, withdrew
all moneys from national repositories
and kept the country in constant hot
water, all through one Rhode Island
farmer who thought more Of his pig
than his vote.
