Save GrizzIy's Life.
Bumbo, a performing grizzly bear,
low on exhibition in Luna park, had
IN awful experience yesterday AS
loon as he finished his mid-afternoon
performance, Bumbo left the ring
over the lagoon and started to lum-
,er across the bridge to his cage, I'M
ierneath the dancing pavilion. When
half way across the bridge Bumbo
ooked over the side into the limpid
waters of the lagoon. Then he be-
came dizzy and fell overheard.
Now Bumbo cannot swim, and when
at last he was fished out he was al
most dead. An ambulance from the
Coney Island Emergency hospital was
summoned, and when the doctor came
be attended to Bumbo just as If he
were a human being instead of a
grizzly. After being rolled over bar
rels, and after the doctor had
breathed his own breath into poor old
Bumbo's nostrils, the grizzly came
back to life.-New York Times.

THE sHEAF OF RICHEST GRAIN.

When came the Lord of harvest,
He cried: 20 Master kind
One sheaf have / to offer,
And that / did not bind;
/ gave cup of water
To one athirst. and he
Left at my door in going
The sheaf l offer thee"
Then said the Lord of harvest,
well pleased with this am /;
One of my angels left it
With thee as he passed by.
Thou mayest not join the reapers
Upon the harvest plain,
But whose helps brother,
Binds sheayes of richest grain"

DEATH OF MISS ETA SIMPSON.

DEATH OF MISS ETA SIMPSON
In the deaf Of Miss Eta Simpson, oil
Sullivan, which occurred March 6, the en-
tire community sustsins an irreparabIe
loss.
She was woman of sterling worth
whose hands and purse were ever ready to
do for all those who had claims on her
Loyal and devoted to duty, always ready
to do the lone thing more", she found her
place in life and filled it gracefully and
well. Just and perfectly correct in all her
accounts, she found and held many
friends.
She served as postmistress through two
administrations, and all were alike served
faithfully. OF a retiring disposition, few
knew OF her inner life, but to those of us
who knew her best, she was true Chris
tian woman In the broad sense of the
term, and one of those who was "born
right the first time".
She had been in falling health for some
time, and premonitions of her final dis.
solution came long before she herself
could interpret its meaning. But the END
come at last suddenly and Unexpectedly.
Much sympathy is felt for her brother
Henry, who shared her home, and who il
left so entirely alone by her death, and tc
whom she had been more than sister In
the years past. She leaves one other
brother, Eugene, of Watertown, Mass, and
these two are all who are left of a large
family

DEATH OF ROSIE MYRTLE BApsos.

DEATH OF ROSIE MYRTLE BABSoN
This community is saddened to learn OF
the death OF Miss Rosie Myrtle Ba oson, OF
Washington, ID. c., which occurred on
Tuesday, March s, coming like tnun der
bolt from clear sky.
Miss Babson was one OF washington's
best-known charity workers, and died
suddenly in the midst OF her work. She
had devoted practically her whole life to
charitable work, being constant attend.
ant on the poor. She was one OF the vol.
unteer agents of the Associated Chart les
and was in charge OF system OF savings
collections in East Washington. 1t was
while making collections for this purpose
that she became i'll, and died before med
ical aid could reach her, OF valvular heart
trouble.
For some time she had not been in the
best OF health. Several boys saw her fall
and aided in carrying her into the house
in which she died.
The funeral was held March 10, at the
family residence, 10S 18th street, sout beast.
Miss Babson was thirty five years Of age,
the daughter Of John W. Babson, chief
OF the issue division of the patent office,
one Of the directors OF the board OF trade,
| and prominent citizen OF East WASH
ington. She wits sister of Mrs. William
B. French, OF East Capitol street. Her
mother Is member OF the board of mana
gers Of the Associated Charities and Sec
rotary OF the board of children's guar
dams. Her brother, J. W. Babson and
Mrs. French are the only surviving chill
dren OF a family OF eight.
Miss Babson was prominently con-
nected with the Maine association of
Washington. Never OF stong constitu-
tion, she was nevertheless always read y
and willing to do something for the pleas
| ure and comfort of others. Four mont lbs
OF each year she spent in her native
town, Brooksville, where she prosecuted
her work along charitable lines, as she
| did at home. Her love for little children
was especially strong, and many hearts
were gladdened by her kind words and
deeds.
Miss Babson's death was announced at
a meeting of the Associated Charities
Tuesday afternoon, and the expressions
OF regret and sympathy for her relatives
were unanimous and sincere. Resolu.
lions to the above effect were adopted and
forwarded to the family.
| There are many here who, when sum.
! mer, comes again. will sadly miss the
pleasant face and kindly voice of thit
charming woman. All Brooksville sim
cereiy mourns her untimely death, and
deeply sympathizes with the stricken
family.
