bers of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, accompanied by their hus-
bands, met at the home of ]. B. An
drews, and from there marched in q
body to the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.

spend the evening there with Mrs. A.
A. Middaugh and her daughter, Miss
Ora, but she had only time to welcome
the Union members, when the sound of
bugles and horns, mingled with many
voices, were heard calling her outside.
The L. T. L. children, both senior
and junior, accompanied by their pre-
sident and leader, Mrs. J. B. Andrews,
were there. The children wished to say
good bye to Mrs. Middaugh before she
left Oakes and also to presnt her with
a silver spoon with the letters L. T. L.
engraved on it so that she might not
forget them in the new home. After
thanking them kindly for their remem-
brance of her, and bidding them good
bye, they sang ''God be you till we
meet again, and took their departure
as quietly as they came. Mrs. Mid
daugh again entered the house to spend
a pleasant hour or two with her friends
in social chat. The ladies served cake
with Strawberries, cream and coffee,
after which Rev. ]. N. Loach made a
very suitable address in behalf of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
and the good example Mrs. Middaugh
has set before them during her short
stay in Oakes. The party broke up
about eleven o'clock all declaring they
had spent very pleasant evening and
hoping that Mrs. Middaugh might live
to enjoy many happy returns Of that
day.

just when the rosy dreams oflif were bright,
Her golden sun went down:
When care for her had downy wings the lightest,
Death wove the cypress crown.
How much the dark grave holds for those,
Who counted her q treasure,
How every heart throb, stinRs with pain,
That only God can measure.
oh! why whom life to her was balmy sweet,
Must she be borne away7
When every hour, was filed with song complete,
Then why not let her stayi
We may not question why,
The angel kissed to sleep, the eyes tear-clouded,
Thon bore her to the sky.
We cannot think of her as gone
There fingers hidden life, 30 fair,
So many blossoms of her love-the fruitage
Must greet us-everywhero:
And bye and bye when from our vision lifted
The veil that hides that land,
What now to us, seems strangely dark, and
grievOus,
We then, shall understand.
