ter acte l IS installing officer for our
dear Id soldier boys and the ceremon-
les were very impressive and interest
ing. David Schreiner was installed as
Commander Of the Post for the en-
suing year. A short recess followed
the G. A. r., installation and the ladies
of the w. r. c., took charge of the pro-
gram. Mrs. T. Calvin had been chosen
as installing officer and the choice was
wise one as Mrs. Calvin did her work
on this occasion in a most graceful
and capable manner. The ladies Of
the Corps feel very grateful to her for
her efficient help. The ladies chosen
to fill lhe various Offices are as fol-

APPOINTED OFFICERS.
Asst. Con. ....... Mrs. Louise Hulburt
Asst. Guard. Mrs. Cora Gibbs
Sec... ........... Mrs. A. j. Mitchell
Patriotic Instructor ............
........ Mrs. Catherine Strong
Musician. Mrs. Mary Sprague
The work was exemplified in fine
manner and this was principally due
to excellent service rendered by Miss
Telah Calvin who presided at the
piano. Mrs. Abram thanked the ladies
for the honor they had conferred upon
her and accepted the office with a
most pleasing little speech, delivered
in bright, graceful manner.
At this point the former president,
Mrs. Lottie A. Ward, was called to
the platform and beautiful token of
friendship from the w. r. c., was pre-
sented to her by Mrs. Mary Starr.
Mrs. Ward was taken entirely by sur
prise but responded most happily in a
few we'll chosen remarks, which fully
expressed her appreciation of the gift.
The meeting was then adjourned and
the past officers served very nice re-
freshments, consisting of coffee, sand
wiches. pickles, doughnuts and cake.
After supper goodly number of
the company INDUCED in games and
there were one or two songs from the
soldiers and at late hour all re-
turned to their homes, having thor
oughly enjoyed the evening.

0bituary--MOnteith.

Death has again invaded our little
town of Werley and taken away one
of our most respected young men
Surely it has been no respecter of per.
sons. Hiram Alfred Monteith, the
subject Of this article, was born in the
town of Fennimore June 4, 1868. He
vas the son of James and Maria Mon
teith. His father has been dead many
years. He also has three brothers and
sisters dead. He leaves behind him
to mourn his departure an aged moth
er, two sisters, Mary and Belle, and
one brother, Frank. eli" as he was
called, was prominent in religious
lines. He became member of the
Church of Christ under the preaching
of Elder S. P. Grant, by confession
and immersion, on the I'd day of July
1895, and at the same time became
identified with the Christians meet
ing at Werley. He was strong be-
lever in the doctrines of the New
Testament and used his means and in
fuence to help establish the Church
of Christ. at Werley. The present
church building at Werley was partly
erected By his own hands, j. e. such as
plastering it and the like.
Only recently, as one of his friends
related, he commended very earnestly
for the faith once delivered to the
saints and adhered closely to the cry
of the current reformation which is:
"In matters Of faith where the bible
speaks, we speak; where it is silent, we
are silent, in matters of opinion, lib
erty." He was married December %,
1895, to Estella e. Thomas at the home
of his sister, Mrs. Mary Smith. His
wife died in 1903. Hiram was so be-
reaved by this loss that he would not
be comforted, but longed to be at rest
with his wife whom he dearly loved.
Yet like all careful business men he
provided for his loved ones. He was
member of the M. w. A. lodge at
Mt. Ida, and the Yeomen of the same
place, he had also taken two degrees
in Masonry but had failed to 60
through on account of some reason
known to himself. His last sickness
was pneumonia. He also had an at
tack of the same trouble early in the
fall and had been advised to go south
for the winter, but had not gotten
away when second attack came. He
died January 5, 1905, aged 81 years,
months and days, in the triumph of
faith in God.
His funeral was held in the church
building in Werley, where the Chris
ians meet who are known as the
church of Christ, or church of Chris
tians or Disciples. Rev. Sears con-
Quoted the funeral, Sunday. Jan. 7th,
1905, and was assisted by the fraternal
orders of which he was a member.
He was buried near Fennimore.
Farewell, Hiram, we can only say as
did David, II can not bring him back
again, but can 60 to him." We leave
him in the hands of him who said,
"Let not your heart be troubled; ye
believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Fathers house are many man
sions abiding places; if it were not
SO, would have told you; for I go to
prepare place for you, and if I 60
and prepare place for you, I come
again, and will receive you unto my
self; that where I am, We may be Also"

How Farmer Glover Fed a Flock Day
After Day for Six Weeks.
X One cold morning Farmer Glover
stood in the rear of the barn, fork in
hand, locking out over the fields. Snow
storm had followed snow starm, until
the stone walls were so covered that
the farm seemed like a great field. with
here and there small grove to break
the monotony. The cattle had been
fed and each animal was munching
contentedly at its pile of hay in the
sunshine, scattering chaff over the
snowy barnyard.
Suddenly, from the light woods near
the barn, came, startled "Bob-white."
Immediately there was an answering
call from the woods cross the fields, and
then another and another, and soon a
flock of about twenty quail alighted
cautiously On the ground, two or three
rods from where Mr.. Glover stood, and
began picking up the seeds from the
hay which the cattle had strewn over
the snow. They scratched about like

was brought before the speaker he had

Half hundred seconds were immedi-
