The San Francisco call., 1906-10-05
oTHER CRooKs NAY COME.

The acting Mayor knows we'll that
the recent murders and robberies have
been bulletined all over the land. He
knows that other crooks, seeing how
easy it is TO operate in San Francisco
without detection, will flock here while
the game is good and ply their voca-
tion OF numbering and pillaging in
open defiance of the Police Depart
ment.
Dinan and his followers have been
given to understand that they must
arrest the robbers and murderers who
visited the japanese Bank without de-
lay They have also been given to
understand that the lid must be put
down on the wide-open town at opce,
and unless this is done before many
more suns set the Police Department
is likely to be governed by a set of
new officials.

A BEAUTIFUL
SENTIMENT T

Shortly before the departure of
the lamented Heber for India he
preached a sermon which con-
tanned this beautiful illustration:
"Life bears us on like the
stream of a mighty river. Our
boat first glides down the chan
nel-through the playful mur-
murings of the little brook and
the windings of it's grassy bord-
ers. The trees shed their bios
SONS over our young heads; the
flowers on the brink seem to offer
themselves to our young hands;
we are happy in hope and we
grasp eagerly at the beauties
around us-but the stream hur-
ries on, and still our hands are
empty. Our course in youth and
manhood is along a wilder and
deeper flood, amid objects more
striking and magnificent. We
are animated at the moving pict-
ures of enjoyment and industry
passing US; we are excited at some
short-lived disappointment. The
stream bears us on, and joys and
griefs are alik left behind us. We
may be ship-wrecked, and cannot
be delayed; whether rough or
smooth, the river hastens to its
home, till the roar of the ocean is
in our ears, and the tossing of
waves is beneath our feet, and the
land lessons from our eyes, and
the floods are lifted up around us,
and we take our leave of earth
and its inhabitants until of our
further voyage there is no wit
ness save the Infinite and the
Eternal"

Two Languages
For a Marriage

A wedding took place at the
parsonage of the Chnrch of the
Immaculate Conception, Clarks-
burg which was entirely foreign
to any that ever occurred in this
State. The bride was a pretty,
young American girl who knew
not a word OF the Latin langu-
age, while the groom was recent
ly from Italy and cannot speak a
word of English. Father Shan
non repeated the ceremony in
both languages and tied the knot
satisfactorily to both parties.
How the courtship was conduct
ed to successful end is not
known.

IN MEMORY.

Harry G. Long, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Long, near Gallipolis
Ferry, departed this life June 80,
1906, aged 8 months, 3 weeks, 4
days. He leaves father, mother
and two sisters to mourn his
loss. Oh how sad to father and
mother the link in the little fam
lily chain has been broken: 1t was
hard to bid him farewell, yet he
has gone where sorrow, sickness
and death never comes. Now
trust in God for He will give you
comfort, and it will be we'll with
you in the end as it is with little
Harry today. His remains were
laid to rest July I'd in Mt. Gar
mel cemetery. To the sorrow
ing family we extend our sincere
sympathy
We had little treasure once
He was our joy and pride,
We loved him ahl perhaps to well
For soon he slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts today;
For the one we loved so dearly
Has forever passed away.
This lovely bud, so young, so fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Just came to show how small a flower
In paradise would bloom
He has left his home so lonely,
His presence was so dear,
He was loved with true devotion
Yet we could not keep him here.
You may think we do rot miss him,
But then we can only weep.
When We think about our baby
In that long and deathless sleep.
Father, mother you may meet him,
There and dwell forever more;
Free from sickness, and sorrow,
On that bright eternal shore.
Farewell darling, we loved you,
But God loved you the best,
And he has sweetly called you
To your blessed home of rest

Round the grave where she is laid.

With the angels chorus on high.
She has gone to dwell with Jesus,
In that happy world of light;
Where the heart is free from sorrow
And there is no dreary night.

But God loved you the best;
And he has sweetly called you.
