DEATH OF ELEANOR IRENE FOLEY.

DEATH OF ELEANOR IRENE FOLEY.
Our entire community felt deeply the
great aflliction which fell upon DR..
and Mrs. Foley, in the death Of their
little daughter, Eleanor Irene. twas
an only child, very bright and pretty
and the idol of the home. On last
Saturday evening about sun down
this sweet little child was called away.
It's parents were almost crushed by
the blow, and the entire community
mourned with them in their dark hour
OF sad bereavement. 1t is so hard to
give up these sweet little creatures
that have so tenderly and yet so
strongly entwined themselves amid the
tendrils of our hearts, even when we
are sure that they are safe IN the
arms OF Him who said: "Sutfer little
children to come unto LIE, and forbid
them not.
In this dark hour Of adiict,0n, the
entire community were more than anx-
iouS to do something to relieve the
heart strickened parents.
The little coffin was literally cover
ed with flowers, mute testimonials OF
the sympathy of loving friends. After
short funeral service at the house,
conducted by Rev. +. L. Folk, the
body was buried in Cover Hill
Cemetery

Lnndscer's Valet.

Sir Edwin Landsear. the famous AMI

butler. valet and faithful slave
named William. who was particularly
lssiduous In guarding the outer portal.
No one could by any possibility gain
direct access to Sir Edwin. The an

sort himself once received this answer
whom he called. amplihed on that oc'
caslon by the assurance that "he had
gone to a wedding" an entire fiction

the garden he noticed Sir Edwin look

poetrx at 81 So a Line.

The highest price ever paid FOR po-
etry was S1,S75 line, $4,000 for an
eight line poem.
1t was not a good poem either. James
Smith, one of the authors of Rejected
Addresses" wrote il. Smith met one
night at dinner in London Strachan'
the famous English printer. Strachan,
what with old age and gout, was most
infirm. Indeed, he could hardly walk.
But his mind was exceedingly power
full and brilliant, and he talked so
well that Smith on his return home
wrote the following doggerel about the
old man:
Your lower limbs seemed far from stout
When last saw you walk:
The cause l presently found out
When you began 10 talk.
The power that props the body's strength
In due proportion spread
In you mounts upward, and the strength
All settles in the head.
Though this was undeniably rank
poetry and ranker fiattery, it pleased

Western scientific knowledge is
being freely used to develop the vast
resources OF the country, while every
effort is being made to promote the
social and moral betterment of the
people by gradually eliminating those
features in the national life which
retard its advancement. Railways
and canals are being constructed
bringing the distant parts of the
country into connection with the
capital; the administration of the
provinces has been reformed, laws
are being codified. recent legislation
has abolished such evils az gambling,
and court for settling land titles
has been established, while education
Is carefully fostered. At the head OF
every movement calculated to pro-
mote the welfare Of the country stands
the king, inspiring and encouraging
all with his patriotic spirit and un-
firing devotion to duty. This noble
example set by his majesty is in all
best services for the bettermeut of the
country. In truth, iu Siam royalty
plays no unworthy or insignificant
part in the great drama OF national
awakening, and the fact is duly recog-
nized by the people who adore their
sovereign to degree unknown to other
absolute despotisms.
