The Delineator for November.

With its new dress of color
throughout the fashion and ad-
vertising sectiops. the November
Delineator presents a most at
tractive appearance. The Autumn
fashions have a large place in the
number, being illustrated and
described in detail and interpreted
by such authorities of dress as
Helen Berkeley-Loyd and
Edouard La Fontaine. The
table of contents contains, among
its many features of interest, an
article, the second of two, by
DIR. William II. Maxwell, Superin-
tendent of Schools. New York
City, on Education for Life
through Living" which describes
the routine of a great public
school. "A run in Ireland" is a
delightful travel sketch by
Seumas MacManus, the we'll
known Irish author. n. Hudson
Moore writes of Tables and Side
boards" in THE Collectors
Manual" and "The Child's Dress"
is the subject of DR.. Grace Peck
ham Murray's paper. The
Romance of Gospel Singer" is
a timely contribution describing
some interesting events in the life
OF Charles M. Alexander, the
revivalist. The | ucky Piece,
Albert Bigelow Paine's novel
which has been running in the
magazine is brought to an end in
this number, and "At Spinster
Farm" by Helen M. Winslow is
continued A delightful story
of boy life THE Exaltation of
William Henry" is from the pen
of Herminie Templeton. There
is a great deal of interest and
value to housewives in the de-
partments, and for the little folks
stories and pastimes.

Death Of L. W. Queen.

ANGOLA, May 4, 1905 = Another
has been called to the great mystsrT-
GUS beyond, as again the Grim Mes-
senger has entered the home Of L. w.
Queen and chosen him as its victim,
which has cast a gloom over the
lower part of the river and sAd-
ness is over all.
Deceased WAS taken i'll about ten
days ago with u slight cold which
grew rapidly worse and developed
into acute pneumonia, and his death
resulted on Tuesday morning, May
End.
Last spring Mr.. Queen was attacked
with kidney trouble, and altho' medi-
cal treatment and good nursing
brought him through, he never fully
recovered his former strength.
The death OF MIR. Queen removes
from our midsta Christian gentle
man, an upright citizen, indulgent
father and good neighbor, whose
memory will long be affectionstely
enshrined in the hearts Of all who
knew him.
The funeral was held at Rangely,
and Il large gathering of friends and
neighbors took part In the touching
and impressive services with which
the remains were tenderly consigned
to mother earth.
Deceased leaves two sons, a brother
and grandchild to mourn his de-
mise.
L.W. Queen was born near Weaver
Vile, Buncombe county, N. c., In
1889, but when a small boy went with
his parents to Union county, Ga. In
81 he cast his lot with the Con-
federacy and served with honor in
the 23d Georgia regiment till the
close Of the war. Coming to Colo
RADIO in early days of Leadville, he
settled and followed mining and
teaming. In 1895 he returned to
Georgia for his two sons, and return
ing to Colorado located on l1xer
White river where he has since re-
sided, engaged in farming and stock
raising.
