In Memorlam.

On the morning of july 20, 19O3,one
wear ago to- day, at the dawDing OF a
golden day, while the birds were
singing sweetly, and the lovely flow
ers we're sending forth their perfume
on the summer air, the angel OF death
entered, softly, the home OF Mr.. and
Mrs. G. F. Byrd, and bore away their
loved one, Alma Ray. Again on
August 81, death came again to our
family, knocking 80 gently atjthe
door of Mr.. and Mrs. u. 3. Mears, Jr.,
summoning from their midst, their
oldest child, Ethel AdeIl. What g.
meeting this must have been, when
the heavenly gate was swung open TO
let little Ethel in! OH how Alma
must have rejoiced when she beheld
her little cousin and playmate enter
into her eternal home. They had
played so much together, yet their
separation was for short duration, ere
the pearly gate had closed behind
Alma it was swung sjar for Ethel.
We cannot divine Gods wise inten-
tione, 10 calling His little lilies to be
transplanted above, while they were
so Youthful. | believe could we but
hear their voices sounding over the
distant river of death they would
saw. papa, mamma, sisters, brother,
Ioved-ones, dry your tears we are
not In the dark, gloomy grave, we are
afe at home with Jesus. We died to
allure thee above"
! would not call thee back,
From thy abiding place.
| But il thou had'st not left us,
Life would have been brighter for
US.
One long year has come snd gone
Since we were forced to part,
But time and space cannot efface
| Thy memory from our hearts.
A tear within fathers eye,
A mothers breaking heart,
Can only tell the agony,
How hard 1t was to part.
No words will ever seem 80 sweet, q.
AS the words you used TO say,
mo day will ever seem so sad,
AS the day you passed away.
lis there a sorrow greater than thisf
Knowing that we have pressed LII
| last kiss,
Bearing away our darlings to dust,
Father in Heaven we humbly trust
Cine by one each tie is broken,
LAS we see our loved ones decay,
Aud the hopes, 30 fondly cherished
Brighten, but to pass away.
One by one our hopes grow brighter
AS we near the shining shore,
For we know across the river,
Wait the loved ones gone before.

NAMES VANISHING TIMBER.
Most Of the Lumber Used in Ship
building There Now Comes
from Other States.

Maine is a. great builder of wooden
ships, but little of the wood used in
the construction of these vessels is
grown in Maine. Formerly the ships
built in this state were composed en-
tirely of the products of the native for
ests, but nowadays it is different, says
a Bangor report.
The bottom part of the frame is some
times cut in the Maine woods and a
good deal Of hack matack and juniper
for the tops is also cut at home, but
most of the frames are cut in the oak
forests of Virginia, while many tops or
complete frames are composed of Nova
Scotia spruce.
The planking and ceiling is practical
ly gil of southern pine. The deck planks
come from Michigan or Wisconsin for
the most part and the larger masts are
brought all the way from the Pacific
coast. 1t is only the skill of the Maine
shipwrights and the low cost of con-
strlction here that keep Maine at the
head of this branch OF the sn1pDuttttng
Industry.
Recently a train load Of masts from
Elma, Wash, attracted as much atten"
ton as a circus train as it passed
through Maine on the way to Bucksport
The masts were carried on three fiat
cars Of the Northern Pacific railroad,
which were securely bound together
with stout chains, as we'll as couplings
There were six of the masts. each 1O8
feet long, "a inches in diameter at the
butt and "a inches at the top. Close
behind came another train of three cars
carrying six more masts and three bow
spirits, also from Washington. The total
weight of these Is sticks was 186, 900
pounds, an average of more than six
tons each.
The masts covered the entire length
of the three cars, the weight resting
almost wholly upon the end cars and
the car in the middle acting as sort
OF swivel link between the others to-
allow for the easy turning of curves in
the road. The trains travelled 1858
miles from Washington to Bucksport id
q days, and the freight charges upon
the Is sticks Of pine amounted to about
$500.
Tall pines are still found in Maine, but
only occasionally, and when one is cut
nowadays the newspapers print para
graphs about it, with incidental lam
entations for the vanished forests of
giants

rich. The Chicago public was not spe-
cially interested in the trial of Tilbury
on the charge of carrying concealed
weapons, or of extorting money, but
the public was interested in the flavor
of scandal that lay back of the charges.
Now it is said that an organized band
of men servants exists in the city, whose
purpose it is to blackmail their mis-
tresses by threatening to cannect their
names with scandal. Such an organ
ization would find a poor field for oper-
ations except among class of idle
women. The woman who is genuinely
busy with the important duties of life
has not time to place herself in COM
promising positions, even though she
do so innocently. The busy woman has
no time to 60 automobile touring with a
schemeing chauffeur.
If the coachmen and chauffeurs of the
city have organized for the purpose of
Matchmaking their employers they will,
except in exceptional cases, find Chi
cago poor field for their operations,
for the city is not a center for the idle
rich.

normal price, Land VALUES
though, of course.
not so high as they are in certain Sec
lions of New York. tbs raise in rent
values has brought a corresponding
raise in land values, until it is no longer
profitable to erect comparatively small
building in this section.
The First national bank is spending
100000 in constructing a 16-story
building on the land it owns at Dear
to improve the property CT to add to the
holdings it had there until the city coun-
Gil would remove the building limit
which prevented the erection of any
thing higher than II stories. AS soon
as that limitation was removed, the con-
struction of the building was begun,
and is being pushed to rapid completion.
The Daily Tribune, which had con-
structed it's new building under the old
ordinance, promptly added new floors
when the new law made such a course
possible.
With modern elevators and fireproof
construction of steel and brick and stone
only, the sixteenth floor becomes as val
liable for Offices as is the second or third
floors. The First national bank consid-
cred those two additional floors to mean
the difference between a profit or no
profit on the investment The new
building is costing some $4,000, 900 to
construct, and aside from the Masonic
temple, which cost $s,500,0O0, and the
new post Office, which is costing 81 ,0O0,-
900, is the most expensive building in
the city.
