THE LIFE OF
| JOHN STAFFORD
TRIBUTE TO DECEASED BY IRA G.
EDWARDS.
Highly Praised by One Who Knew
Him intimately 800 Loss of Mr.. STAFF
ford a Great Loss to Methodism.

Methodism has lost much in the
recent death at Los Angeles of Rev.
John Stafford, former presiding elder
of this and other Minnesota districts.
Many tributes are paid to his memory.
Ira c. Edwards of Minneapolis says
of MI. Stafford and his life:
1.-The recent death of Rev. John
Stafford of Los Angeles came like
bolt from the blue and has touched
the hearts of thousands in the twin
cities and the middle west, Permit
me to voice the sentiment of multi
tudes Of your readers in a brief tribute
to one whose life and character has
written his name on the imperishable
tablet of human hearts. To know
John Stafford well was to love him
deeply. While others of far less abili-
ty may have enjoyed a wider range of
acquaintance as an orator, a. writer,
student and a preacher, none other
could boast a deeper, place IN the
hearts of his friends than he held.
"Of rare ability as a preacher,
strong and trenchant as a writer and
an orator, his power in these directions
was lost in the overwhelming strength
that was evidenced by the gentle and
simple purity of the man of God.
mobile in all that goes to make up
true nobility; just in all things, yet
softening his decisions with Christ
like charity; brave and fearless in the
discharge of every duty; with a warm
hand clasp for the needy and tears
of genuine sympathy for the suffer-
ings Of others, John Stafford lived so
close to the Master that, like the Mas
ter, he was loved for himself. The
true value of such a life can never
be told except as it is written in COM
ing years in the history which he
helped to make.
lone remarkable fact which has
often been commented upon Is that,
thru. all the work and worry of his
eventful life, he never lost the baby
face that God gave him when he came
into being. And that face was the
index of a soul as pure as snow.
"Out of his great heart there flowed
a ceaseless flood of love for his fell
lows. He was a, man to look up to
and to lean upon. He never failed,
never faltered, never weakened. For
nearly forty years. he stood in the
vanguard of Christian workers, point
ing the faces of men.and women to-
ward the cross of Christ. To-day he
stands beside the Master whom he
served and loved reckoning us on
ward and upward
.aThe world en- 2nlasse may never
know the worth Of such life as his,
but if each to whom he has. been help
full were TO lay a remembrance upon
his grave, the monument would reach
from earth to heaven. A simple, pa
tient, loyal man of God has gone to
his reward, and heaven Is enriched
while earth is better for his having
lived. .sra~- ~.
I'm all of earth; there never lived
a nobler, better, sWeeter, purer man fl$
than he :, M IS. ~ Il

Hunting with falcons was revived
In Scotland some years ago by Sir Hen
ry Bethune. A writer on field sports
says THE faiconers had an old setter
dog which hunted till he found a CO.
vey of cartridges. The falconer then
threw off a hawk, which rose In cir
Giles till very high. then lowered above
the dog. The dog looked up to see If
the hawk was ready and then ran in
and reused the birds. Swoop went the
hawk. If he missed, the birds general
~ went into hedge and the hawk
scared again and lowered over the
birds. The old dog then went off after
them ana got another point. If the
hawk killed its bird. the falcOner went
gently to it and picked it up; If not,
he had to fetch the bird with the lure,
dummy bird with bit of pigeon on
it. He called the hawk 'Killy, killy,
Yoiyook, a sort of view halloo, and
hurled the lure in the air The hawk
stopped to it and began to eat the pi-
geon, and he then succeeded in picking
1t up"

a CONTINUAL STRAIN.

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual strain because of some
financial or family trouble. 1t wears and
distresses them both mentally and physi-
cally, affecting their nerves badly and
bringing on liver and kidney ailments,
with the attendant evils of constipation,
loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vi
tality and dependency. They cannot,
as a rule, get rid of this continual
strain" but they can remedy its health
destroying effects by taking frequent
doses of Green's August Flower. 1t tones
up the liver, stimulates the kidneys, in
sures healthy bodily functions, gives
vim and spirit to ones whole being, and
eventually dispels the physical or mem
tai distress caused by that continual
strain " Trial bottle of August Flower,

After a terrific race for another mile
both animals were suddenly pulled up.

before 1t was over he had killed one
and wounded another. Their loss, to-

sent the remaining Indians scurrying
away.
AT the ranch house, after the story
had been told, Miss Bessie asked for
the second time:
"Who is this man Tom2"

longs to one of the best families in
the east. He came out here for his
health, you see. Did you have to snub
him again today?'
IL don't think So"
"But are you going to some other
day.
NO, never again. I'm so sorry and
ashamed-and | think-think"-
Well, there's a rumor atioat, and 1t
may be true.
