me floral offerings were beautiful.
Albert was the only child of his now
Dereaved parents and the sympathy
felt for them is heartfelt all over the
county. He came to his death by the
accidental discharge of a gun in the
hands of playmate One cannot help
but add warning to small boys and
to parents also, that they do not allow
them to handle dangerous weapons
until fully old enough to realize the
care that should be exercised. In
this case it was not the parents fault.

mothers and were warned beforehand
not to take guns when they started

closely.
A Common DelusiOn.
Some people think they have peace

Love ut Sea.
Where shall we land you, sweet?
On fields of strange mans feet,
Or fields near home?
Or where the fire-howers blow?
Or where the flowers of snow
Or flowers of foam?
We are in loves hand today.
Land me. she says, where love
Shows but one shaft, one dove,
One heart, one hand,
"A shore like that, my dear,
Lies where no man will steer.
No maiden land.
