Thoughts Of Mother.

dearest mother how we miss you,
Thcre'a no tongue on earth can tell,
..aTRnt wo know that God has blessed you,
And no doeth all things well,
Yes, We know you are not sleeping
In that cold aud silent tomb
Blu, in heaYen you are waiting
M For the dear ones to come home.
~ TO come home 10 you and Jesus,
To come home to heaven and God.
BIT We know We first must follow
The path Of life which you have trod.
Dearest mother we will como,
When the Father calls US homo,
We will come and live with you:
Then lifes trials will be DER,
And LIES battles fought no more,
When we come, dearest mother TO you
sWc know you are watching and waiting,
For those that you have loved best
And now, dearest mother we are praying
That papa will come with the rest,
God will not forsake those that love Him.
And we earnestly pray each day
That papa will turn aud love Jesus
Yes, God will prepare tho way.
w Now mamma watch over us ever,
So long as on earth we may stay
For guided by thee and By Jesus.
CTR iuet cannot go far astray,
We know that sometimes we wonder.
Away from Gods presence 80 sweet.
But our prayer. dearest mother, is ever,
TO live lowly and close to his feet
Why should we care for earth's pleasures,
They perish and fade quick away,
We shall try for God fullest measures,
And His commands to always obey,
Well follow the example yon set us,
Each days duties we'll gladly perform.
We know they can never O er whelm us,
II we're leaning on Gods strong arm.
Dearest mother as.. the years glide onward.
And you in heaven shall stay,
We will try TO live and DO ready
When God shall call as away,
TO dwell with Him and the angels.
(Where sorrow shall come 10 morc,)
In that bright AMI beautiful City,
On the fair Celestial Shore,
Then dearest mother we'll greet thee
Never again to part,
Aud o the JOY Of that moment,
Will repay Tor each ache II the heart.

Husband and wife we're seper-

whatever penance he sees fit to

that Rome is freed OF all true
children of God, and that all are
under his control, he is not salts

some one escaped his clutches;
And true there we're he sends
out his blood.hc unds in pursuit.
SO if there had been one escaped,
the trail of that one might be dis,
covered, and the iieeing one run

taken, to satisfy his thirsty am

while tho beast was gloating over

Menace to Civilization.

Atlantic City. N. j., June 10.-Pneu.
monia, which, in the words of DR.. Ed
ward F. Wells, of Chicago "is new
menace to civilization" was the sub.
ject of much earnest discussion Thurs.

science the disease was dealt with in a
paper read by DR.. Wells, who stated
that it was virulently communicable
and the section of materia medica,
pharmacy and therapeutics held a
symposium for the discussion of the
subject.
DR.. Wells said that the prevalence
OF pneumonia is remarkably on the in
crease. He quoted 80 cases of COM
municable virulency. He recommend
ed the use Of moist bed clothes before
the face and nose when sneezing and
coughing. He stated that the pneu.
mococcus was present in the throat
and nose Of many persons and that it
may be communicated by coughing or
sneeZing.
DR.. Sternberg, former surgeon gen.
eral, who Is the discoverer Of the pneu.
mococcus. or pneumonia germs, doubt
ed the practicability Of any method Of
fumigating or sterilizing a room in
which the germs might happen to be.
He discovered the germ in himself in
1880 and went to Philadelphia to com.
plete his experiment and verified them
In Europe.
