Demanded

thousand miners in the employ of the
Keystone Coal and Coke Company and
the Jsmison Coal and Coke Company,

life a burden. At this
time, also, cancers and
tumors are more liable

destructive work.

Wash Cruce who moved west nearly
a half Of a century ago, since which
he has spent much time in Mo, Kan,

Clinton, Mo-, where he now resides
with his wife and two sons. How
careless people get about writing and
keeping up with their friends and
those they love is shown by Mr..

about his sister Lucy's health, she
having been dead four years and was
Caleb Stones wife and mother of
councilman G. W. Stone who received
the letter.
He also asked about sister Jane
Wilson, not knowing she had passed
over the dark river twenty-five years
ago, and sister Mary Cole, who for
over forty years has been Mrs. Get
tings, and now lives at Kuttawa.
And about brother Presley, who
unknown to him had died thirtyfve
years ago, and about brother E. Well,
who has also been dead twenty-five
years or more. Two brothers,
James and Marion, live in Living

When the exhibits Of horetiesh,

Practically every class for which

There is an old legend that runs in
this wise: At the creations dawn
an angel came down to earth and be-
fore returning looked around for some
thing to carry back to heaven. There
were three things that attracted the
attention of he white-wiuged mess
'enger bouquet of sweet flowers that
had been gathered from one of the
earth's fair and blooming gardens,
the smile of baby that had been
playing with a sunbeam, and moth
ers love. These three the angel
carried away, but when they reached
the pearly gaJes Of paradise the flow
ers had withered-the babys smile
had vanished. Only a mothers love
remained the same, and being found
as pure and eternal as the, waters that
flowed by God 5 throne, all the angels
that ranged about exclaimed in uni
son: There Is nothing on earth
pure enough Ivr heaven Ddt mV,n-
er 5 love. - This was a tribute con-
tanning sublime thought. And
through all the ages it has been hu-

ed to in that fai-away legend, were
not over-extravagant in the message
that they passed out through the o.
