THE DAILY GRAPHIC BLUFF
IN MEMORIAM.

Again the Grim Messenger has Wis
tied our small circle and taken from
us our genial, whole-souled, big-heart-
ed "ITncle Jim; taken him, who, for
wears. has been father and mother to
his children. Only those OF us VINO
have been privileged to share in, expe-
rience and observe the love and devo-
tion of this man to his girls will be
able to fully appreciate the loss which,
tho we all sustain, yet with such great
er orce falls on those who have been
reared so close to his heart. They will
miss him no more in less of his atten-
tions to them than in their almost
idc]atrous devotion to him. Uncle
Jim's was rather peculiar nature.
do not recall in my acquaintance a
father more wrapped up in his family,
one more appreciative of the slightest
courtesies extended or attentions
shown. or one so quickly, easily or
deeply wounded at the lack OF the
same.
In Pine Bluff the word of Jim Drey-
fms went for his bond. He was on
terms of familiarity with the inhabi-
tants of the surrounding country, and
by all of them held in the highest es-
We all unite in extending our heart
felt sympathy to those on whom this
blow falls with such severity. We
will not attempt to temper their grief
with words of consolation. They have
been dealt an affliction than which,
in life. there can be no greater. 1t is
said by the sages that Time will heal
all wounds and doubt not there is
truth in the old saw, but l am equally
confident that in the hearts of those
who have survived him, there will be
an aching void to constantly serve as
a reminder of the loss. The children
must content themselves with the
knowledge that, by their many loving
kindnesses and attentions, his days
among them were made happy and en-
joyable for him. 5. M. r.

some other Tolstoy." And now Tel

the savant. The student accepted the
invitation, and found two other guests
present, one of whom was elegantly
dressed and apparently highly educated.
while the other was rather uncouth,
noisy, and extremely conceited. After
dinner the pupil rose to take leave, and
as he shook hands with his teacher he
remarked: "The problem is very SIM
pie after all; the quiet, well-dressed gen.
tleman Is certainly distinguished In
some lines, but the other Is as certainly
a lunatic and ought to be locked up.

TIE BEST OF LIFE.

Nss till life's heat 10 cooled,

And every purblind passion that has ruled
Our noisier years, at last
Spurs us In vain, and, weary Of the race,
We care no more who loses or who wins
All. not till all the best OF life seems past
The best Of life begins.
To tell for only fame,
Handclappings and the fickle gusts Of
praise,
E'or place or power or gold to gid a name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring US, were to lose our
days;
We. on whose ears youths passing bell has
tolied
In blowing bubbles. even as children do.
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world .widens when
Such hope of trivial gain that rule& us lies
Broken among our childhoods toys, for

We win to self-control
And mail ourselves In manhood, and
there rise
Upon US from the vast ard MINDLESS height
Those cleaner throughts that are unto
the soul
What stars are to the night.
