DEATH BITTER TO SWIFT
Packer Won $40, 900, 900, Only to
Lose Fruits of Fortune.
DENIED EVEN SOCACE OF WIFE

Beef Trust Magnate's Daughter Alone
ut Bedside when End Cane-Bedy
Placed in Vault Pending Arrival
of Mrs. Swift From Europs - Only
Public Bcquest is $4,000 to Church
Beverly, Mass.-The funeral of Ed
win c. Swift, of the firm of Swift &
Co, the Chicago meat packers, wht
died at the Quincy House, in Boston
from pneumonia, was held at Beverly
Farms. The services were conducted
in st. Johns Church by Rev. E. J. V.
Huiginn, rector of the church, assisted
Rev. Dewitt IS. Clark, of Salem, who
performed the marriage of
Mr.. and Mrs. Swift at Sycamore.
The, church was trimmed with
smilax, English ivy and laurel, and
there was a profusiOn of flowers from
throughout New England. The hon.
orary p~all-bearers were fifty in num-
Der, representing the various industries
with which Mr.. Swift was connected,
while the acting pall-bearers were from
st. Johns Church. The body was
taken to Forest Hills Cemetery and
placed in the receiving vault. to await
the arrival of Mrs. Swift from Europe.
Death claimed Mr.. Swift just when
he seemed to achieve what to him was
the superlative success of a successful
career. He had accumulated So OO.-
600 in a mighty business in Chicago,
but II which did not gain him social
prestige. He returned to his native
East, built a magnificent mansion at
'Pride'S Crossing, and was in a fair
way to obtain society's recognition and
a hard-earned ease for his declining
years.
Not only has death wrenched three
mortal triumphs from his grasp. but it
even denied him the sOlace of his
wife's ~companionship in his dying mo-
ments. When he was taken ill his wife
was cruising lu%xuriously in the spark
ling Mediterranean. Even as life end
ed for this captain of industry a
shadow rested on the business he had
builded-the Government investigation
of the Beef Trust scandal.
The only ray of comfort illuminating
the gloom of Edwin C. Swift's passing
away is the fact that among the rela-
tives at his death-bed was his beloved
daughter, Mrs. Clarence B. Moore, Of
Washington.
Mr.. Swift died a victim of his devo-
ton to his friend, n. E. Hollis, of
B%raintree and Boston. Mr.. Hollis was
to undergo a serious operation. and
wanted this lifelong associate with him
during that critical time. Mr.. Swift
went to Boston as soon as Mr.. Hollis
asked for him and remained until
stricken with pneumonia.
Aside from a $4,000 bequest to a
church at Sycamore, Mass, the will of
E. c. Swift makes no public gifts.

Selection of Stock.

Stock your farm with the animals
you like best. You need not have all
registered stock, but get the best you
can procure. Don't raise nor keep
scrub stock; they never will make you
any profit. If you don't admire a
horse, it probably will not pay you to
keep two or three brood mares. If you
don't admire a fine mich cow, it will
not pay you to keep a dairy herd, other
than to supply your own use. If you
don't admire sheep, if you don't find
them attractive, then don't grow them,
for they will very likely never do any
good for you. If you are not and can
not be interested in any of the above
mentioned animals, then select some
thing you are interested in, something
that you do admire. For one must
have a love for his line of work to
make it most profitable. Men in every
part of the country are making money
from all kinds of live stock, some from
one kind, others from another kind.
Often the man who keeps nine OF ten
mich cows thinks his neighbor who
devotes all his attention to hogs and
none to cows, very foolish. But It all
depends upon the man and surround
ing conditions and a man ought to
follow his own natural abilities and his
own preferences. No matter what kind
Of stock you select you are doing it
for a special purpose; you have a def
mite end in view. No matter what Won
want to accomplish, whether to pro-
mote growth, develop bone and muscle.
or spirit and nerve, to produce fat or
milk or wool, the animal must be the
one you admire and love to care for the
most, to make your selection and pro-
fession a profitable one.-E. L. Morris.

taking for it, and l told him Cuticura. He
said that was a very good thing, but that
he thought that my face would be marked

my face is now just as clear as it ever was.

With regard to automobiles, the Brit

1t seems to me that the shortest way

to set watch more scrupulous against

not think of one falsity as ] armless

make your stomach healthy by absorbing
foul gases which arise from the undigested

the food with the gastric juices. This
cures stomach trouble, promotes digestion,
