The kindness and generosity

Obituary.

William Hamilton, only son
of Joseph l.. Kendrick, deceas-
ed, and Mrs. Lutte Kendrick of
Monroe City, departed this life
Friday, Julv IS 1905 aged 2
years and 90 days. His death
was doubly sad. Only few
months before the devoted
father was stricken almost with
out warning or expectation and
summoned to appear before his
Maker. A happy, peaceful
home was broken up. The
heart of a kind wife and mother
was crushed. And even yet
there was a consultation. The
innocent babe slumbering ia his
cradle would rise up and pro-
tect mother and little sister.
He would replace the departed
loved. But, alas; The Giver OF
all good decreed otherwise.
For Christ has said; IS" fer lit.
tie children to come unto me.
and forbid them not; for of such
- the Kingdom of Heaven. To
the Borrowing mother we would
say, another saint is worshiping
before the the throne of God In
Heaven. Another saint is there
to intercede for loved ones here
below. He shall never know
aught of sorrow of suffering,
but JOY unspeakable shall be
his portion forever. The re.
mains we're tenderly laid to
rest in the Catholic cemetary
after impressive ceremonies and
a sermon in the Holy Rosary
church by kev. Father Lyons
the Pastor. To the bereaved is
extended the heartfelt sym.
pathy of the community.

A young husband, who lives
in Laclede, writes "A long letter

which he says It seems very

she marries. After he has been

seem still queerer to the poor
jay if she didu't take every.

A Midnight Jail Delivery.

The Paris jail was the scene
of a midnight invasion on Mon
day night. Two negro prison
ers were soundly thrashed and
sent sobbiug out into the cruel
world. Elmer Donaldson and
Curtis Washington, pair of
ten-year-oId darkies, were the
victims. On Sunday they alb
Quoted a horse and buggy be-
longing to Douglas Gibson and
drove to their hearts content.
Next morning they were ar
rested and sent to jail for ten
days. That night while they
slept upon their fragrant
couches aud dreamed sweet
dreams of future deeds of devil
ment, the grim iron doors of the
old bastile swung back upon
their hinges and a vigilance
committee numbering one entire
man silently entered. A few
stealthy steps brought him to
the bed upon which the juvenile
desperadoes weresleeping much
slumber. A moments pause
and the awful work began.
Ruthlessly awakening the des-
perate pair the visitor hiked
them hence with indecent haste.
At the outer portal halt was
called. Bidding one of the
prisoners to wait his call just
inside the door, the mysterious
stranger escorted the other out
into the dark and dreary atmos-
phere, gently elevated the low
err part of the back of his shirt,
and proceeded to apply a strap
with all the vigor of a desper-
ate purpose. Then the other
offender was led forth and CIV
en- similar treatment, following
which both were told to 60 and
sin no more. The boys could
not identify their assailant and
the public is much mystitied as
to his identity. The fact that
the ghost of Abe Witberup has
been seen stalking about the
jail in recent weeks leads TO the
suspicion that this former vic
tim of midnight visitors as a
means of revenge, is preparing
to make the old prison place
of terror for future inmates. II
is very probable that the pun
ishment administered to the
little darkies will exert a much
stronger restraining influence
than a whole year of idllng be-
hind the bars.-Appeal.
