Obituary..

On the 18th of March, God
called from the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. C. H. Sandusky, their dear
little son. He was born Nov. %,
1903. His age was 1 year, 3
months and 10 days. His death
was due to that dreaded disease,
pneumonia. 1t seems hard to
think that the bud had to be
plucked before it had time to
burst into bloom, but God knows
best, His will be done not ours.
We know that Sam is resting Ia
that home where sorrow never
comes, and some day we all shall
meet him in that Paradise above.
The little body was laid to rest

Obituary

On Monday, March 6, 1905 the
subject of this sketch took it's
flight to the Great Beyond. He
was seven years and a few months
past when the end came. The
cause of death was due to scrofu-
la, of which he had been a suffer-
er almost eight months, but not
taking his bed until January. He
had great patience during his ILL
ness. Every aid that humans
could devise was given him by his
parents, relatives, a n d friends.
He leaves behind a mother, faith
er and little sister to be comfort
ed by their many friends. JOHNNY
being such a lovable child, possess
ed such sweet disposition, and
had such a love for his creator,
that we can imagine the Stars in
his Crown to-day. He leaves a
pleasant memory behind, and yet
how sad, that he could not stay
here longer, but Jesus knew best.
With tears of sadness l recall the
last time | e yer saw him as he
stood in Bloomington school-house
at the close of my term December
%, 1904, and recited the touch
ing poem, II should like to die -
Then as the adieus were being
said he came forth and embraced
me with a kiss, expressing his de-
sire for the next school year to
dawn quickly. Little did we re-
alize that his demise was so near.
Oh, may we pray that our lives
may be as spotless as this little
one, thus ready for the summons.

STRONG ON THE GREENS

Chicago Golf Club, Wheaton, H., Au- gust 12.--fI. Chandler Egan successfully defended his title of national golf cham pion in the eleventh annual tournament at the Chicago Golf club links today, de- feating D. E. Sawyer of Wheaton up } to play in the finals.
 The Exmoor player who has thrice in four years taken tho measure of all western aspirants for the western golf association title, added his second vic- tory in the U. s. G. A. Havemeyer cup to his greut performances. One up at the end of eighteen holes in the morning, Champion Tsgan was confident of a final victory over his rival from the local links nearby if he could discontinue his dangerous habit of driving the ball into the deep greens on his tee shots. Saw yer often was brilliant in his play fin the heartbreaking struggle with the cham pion but he was weak at vital times on bunting green.
 Champion Egan was steady at all times with his iron club. although often get ting discouragng lies by his terrific tee shots in the morning round. In the after noon he avoided some of this trouble by using a, cleek at the narrow places in the course. As in the history of golf from the beginning the championship was won and lost oh the putting green. Egan in- variably was down in the regulation two butts when he got to the green. Sawyer missed several opportunities to get holes simply by falling down on putts
 When the great throng surged about the winner and offered congratulations on his second victory in the national event, MT. 1cgan blushed lige schoolboy. He in tends to. enter the business world soon and, will confine his golf play after the coming I1xmoor annual open tourney to Saturday afternoon club matches.
 When Egan added the thrtieth and thirty-frst holes to his list the finals were over and Sawyer was given the rum ncr up medal of silver. Egan gets his second U. s. P. R. massive gold medal and the Havemeyer trophy remains with Exmoor for a year
 Egan will attain his majority August 21 The finals and the whole championship for the matter, resolves itself into test of | youthful golf.

BEATEN NATIONS SLOW PAY.
Modern Instances Where War lndem-
 mites Were Demanded.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 The paying of an indemnity is compar- atively a new thing. Before the Napo- leonic wars nations seldom fought but for the sake of conquest. The winning party took whatever 1t wanted in terri tory or in certain rights. but did not ln- sist upon an indemnity.
 During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the map of Europe was changed frequently but the amount of money paid in indemnties was very small. Ma poleon conquered large part of Europe, invented all kinds of wonderful king doms and provided kings by recruiting them from his own dear family. But that was the worst that befell those coun- tries. and besides clothing and feeding Napoleons soldiers and going without English goods the conquered countries did not suffer otherwise financially. Now adays, as nations do not go to war to conquer territories, they have to be re- paid in some other way, and as rule the victors ask for full payment for their expenses.
 The older way, however, was the safer conqueror does not get his money. It is extremely hard, you know, to get money out of bankrupt state. In 1877 when Russia had beaten Turkey, she asked an indemnity of s160,000000, the exact amount of the cost of the war. Today in the year 1905, Russia has not yet received half of that sum. In 1896 when Turkey near ly conquered Greece, she began by asking
