Tribute to Henry Shockey by One
Who Knew Him Well.

A fitting tribute was that paid YES
terday afternoon by Thomas Fitz
Gerald to the memory of the late
Henry Shockey, soldier and pioneer
of the West. At the funeral services
held at Hendricks hall at which
We're assembled Redmen and Grand
Army veterans, fellow lodgemen of
Henry Shockey, Judge Fitz Gerald
spoke of the character of the depart
ed brother and comrade
Henry Shockey did not aceumu-
late much of this worlds goods" said
the speaker. "He was generous and
to help a friend in distress, and was
the first to render assistance when
comrade or brother was in need.
His hands were hardened with the
toll of years of adversely, yet they
were as gentle as those of any min
istering angel that ever smoothed the
bed of pain.
In his dealings with his fellow
men he was upright and never stoop-
ed to thing that would cast the least
suspicion of dishonor on his name
He made debts, but no man can ever
say that he failed to meet his obliga-
tions, and everywhere he went his
word was as good security as was re-
quired. In his work he never shirk-
ed, and any duty left in his hands was
always fulfilled."
An incident of "forewarning" occur
red on the day of Shockeys death.
He was caretaker of Hendricks hail.
and as such had charge of the regalia
of the Redmen and other lodges that
meet In that place. On the afternoon
of the day of his demise he was at
the hall to attend the funeral services
of w. c. Grail. In draping the char
ter of the Eagles. to which order Grail
was a member, the frame broke from
its fastenings and fell from the wall,
narrowly missing Shockey's head.

This is a pure, tonic medicine, of es-

disease, driving it entirely out of the
system. 1t is much to be preferred

Il DEEP SEA DIVER.

His Calling About the Most Grew
some Of All Occupations.
Beyond all question, the calling of a
deep sea diver. employed in examin-
ing and clearing away sunken wrecks
is the most grewsome. Putting aside
the fact that his life is in constant
danger from the results of submarine
enemies or accident to his diving dress
and apparatus. the sights that he is
called upon to see, and to see more
over, amid the most horrible surround
ings, exceed in. .ghastliness even those
which the hospital or the army sur
geon is called upon to confront. No
where else ON land or sea are so many
accumulated horrors to be found al in:
the hull of q ship which has sunk with
crew and passengers. Sd,
The hideous condition in which the
diver finds the victims OF the wreck;
some half devoured by fish, some
standing upright and floating to and
fro with a CHASTITY parody Of living mo-
ton, some still locked together as
though yet in the last agony of the
death struggle, and some floating about
the interior Of a ship and knocking
and rubbing up against him with a hid
eous lifelikeness that is utterly indie
scribable. These are some Of the hor-
rible sights which deep sea divers have
to work amid when they are employed
On sunken wrecks. When to all these
are added the awful gloom and silence
amid which the work has to be per.
formed, there will not seem to be
much doubt that of all modern callings
that Of the deep sea diver is the most
grewsome.
A very honest man and a very good
understanding may be deceived by .
knave.-Junius.

Chicago Live Stock World: When
mutton inishers have filled their feed
lot this fall prices paid for thin stock
in recent years will look cheapby COM
parison. There are logical reasons for
this, the principal one being the high
price OF wool, urgent demand for and
increasing consumption of mutton and
the indisposition of breeders. on the
western range to part with their stock.
Breeders are already selling high at
Chicago. Out on the range prices are
tantamount to refusal to sell. The sit

APPLY stated a few days since by Senator
Drake, Colorado's pioneer feeder. when
he said:s when we first went into the
lamb feeding business in Colorado there

was about one sheep per capita for all

Now there is one-half sheep per capita.
Narrowing of free range has been re-
