Obituary.

Clarence Lee, son of J. Frank and
Mary A. Fender, was born in the old
homestead, September Is, 1882, where
he died August 20, 1906, aged % years,
10 months and Is days.
He had just come into the morning
of promising manhood; the future
was reaching out Its becoming hands;
he had a vision OF the success that
comes to an honest and patient toiler.
How soon the hour came when the
promise had no one to enjoy the bless
ing. The becoming hand could no
longer be seen. The vision vanished
like a,dewdrop on a bright May morn
ing. We know not the day when the
reaper with his sickle shall thrust in
his sharpened blade and we shall fall
to the sure and irresistible stroke.
Clarence Lee was not taken by sur.
prise. he was ready and waiting.
When he was sixteen years of age he
put his trust and confidence in him
who has power over death. For six
years he has been a member of his
home church at Union, Q. He was
devoted to this historic church of his
childhood. he has lived with us near.
ly % years and has not lived in vain.
All, both old and young, bear testi.
uony to one beautiful tribute. he
was good boy and good young man
He was In good health until little
more than one week ago when he was
stricken with what was thought to be
appendicitis, on the early morning Of
the II, but in the operation was found
to be an abscess. He suffered the
most excruciatiug paroxysms of pain,
but with the keroism of a faithful
soldier of Jesus Christ. The grace OF
patience had It's perfect work. He
never murmured or complained. I,
was "alright."
All that medical skill and tender
nsinistratious' could do were gracious
ly given. How grateful he was fol
them. When he was informed of the
|'uature of the disease and lts gravity
and was toE that the surgeons knife
must be used, he quietly subnitted
not knowing what might possibly b
the result. Just before yielding him
self to thesurgeou g knife, he prayet
long and earnest prayer, 'c0nmittet
his spirit tnto the hands of his Savior
bade his family goodbye ant exhort
ed them Ill to be good and meet hin
in heaven, If he failed to recove
from the-shock.
WhenHe found he had survived tn,
severe ordeal he said ''thank God.
He seemed to be on the way to re

VICTIMS IN TIME OF PEACE
More Railway Men Killed Yearly
Than Fell in Three battles

When the young men of the coun-
try are called forth to war they march
through the streets with flags flying
and bands playing inspiring music.
The people crowd the streets and
greet them with applause. When
news of a battle Is received the en-
tire nation Is sad at the story of
lives destroyed. Those who thus die
are honored for their heroism, and
monuments are erected to their mem
Org, while those who return MANNED
are pensioned. Not so, :. however.
the army that goes. forth daily to do
every 80 Of them will be permanently
disabled and one In every nine of the
Injured will be killed. They pass
away, unknown and unhonored, save
as to their families and friends.
A more vivid notion Of the destrue-
tiveness of railroads may be had by
considering the fact that IN the great
Crlmean conflict which was one Of
the hloodiest wars sin history. the
British lost less than half as many
slain and wounded as We're killed and
MANNED on the iron roads In this
country during the last year. In
any twelve month about GO, 900 per-
sons are killed or injured on the rail-
greater number than fell at the bait
tie of Sedan. which sealed the fate
of the second empire of France.
Wellington won Waterloo and Meade,
Gettysburg, with losses of %, 1856
and %, 003, respectively, and the total
losses on both sides at Shiloh in the
two days murderous fight did not
reach "a. 600,
More railroad employees were killed
in the United States last year than
three times the number of Union men
slain at the battles of Lookout Noun
tain, Missionary Ridge and Orchard
Knob combined. The number of in-
|tured among these workers In the
transportation business was greater
than that Of the wounded and missing
at Shiloh. Antietam and the first and
second Bull Hun combined. More
faithful toilers on the from roads of
this country went down In sudden
death during the twelve month than
persisted In the battle OF the Wilder
ness,
Each year one In every ten train
men in the United States (this term
including engineers, tiremen. con-
ductors and brakemen) is injured.
and one In every las is killed. Two
