In loving remembrance OF Viola, little
daughter OF Thomas A. and Gertie Multi
can, of Washington, who sweetlY and quiet
ly tell asleep In Jesus January ID, '06 aged
4 years.
II is with sad and painful hearts that we
attempt TO chronicle the death OF our dar-
ling jewel that God gave TO as for short
time, but long enough for that love to ripen
which parents only can fenl.
With tender care and untiring watchful.
ness we stood by her little couch, but In spite
of all our care and the skill OF the physician
we could not keep her with us. Early Ia
the morning God sent the messenger of
death and changed our home OF sunshine
into one of sadness and gloom, but In our
hour of sadness we know that God Ii good
and too wise to err. Although he has taken
our little darling from our bosoms, may we
bow TO His will, and always remember that
while we live In o world OF toll and suffer
ing we have bright and precious jewels that
shine around Gods throne above. And as
the star of Bethlehem guided the wise men
To the Saviour, Ohl may our jewels that
shine to day In heaven be the means OF guild
ing US closer TO God, 30 when He secs fit TO
call US one by one we may all be reunited in
the family OF God, where death can never
separate US.
A precious flower to US was given,
So soon 10 fade and die,
To dwell not here but In heaven,
That blissful home on high.
Far beyond this world Of sorrow,
Far beyond this world OF care,
We shall find our absent loved ones
In our Fathers mansion iair.
Then dry your weeping eyes, dear parents,
Look beyond the clouds and see,
With your dear ones on His bosom,
Jesus stands and calls to thee.
A bud OF besuty nipped by deatha
Oh, mol but upward borne
Where no rude wind or poisoned breath
Can blast flower OF Paradise.

In Defense of the President.

Mr.. Editor While l admire the report
OF the chairman of the Law Enforcement
Committee made before the Anti-Saloon
League In its meeting last Saturday, there
are some points In the report that cannot
endorse.
First, cannot endorse the effort to apply
the writ OF distringas to the President. l am
aware that he, like all presidents, is nation
al slave. Even jackson, the most hard
headed OF presidents, was barely disfran-
chised during his incumbency of the presi-
Dental seat Andrew johnson escaped i'm.
parchment by the skin OF his teeth because he
showed mercy unto those who fell among
thieves.
Now, at this time, think the President
should be- allowed to stake his wine with a
merry heart" In several weeks time, his
beloved daughter will be joined in the holy
bands OF matrimony, and what member OF
the Anti Saloon League would not take a
sip OF the juice OF the grape ii placed in the
same situation.
Miss Alice seems to be the nations pet.
The millions OF pictures In the public prints
| show her TO be person OF great worth and
amiability, and as she will soon become the
better hall OF Longworth it does seem to me
that her devoted papa should be allowed to
partake OF the usual festivities common In
high life.
Looking into the Anti.Saloon work
| am AFRAID that there Is about as much
whiskey imbibed now in Montgomery coun-
| ty as there ever has been since the days OF
| negro slavery. OF course, In slavery times
a barrel OF what was then considered the
needful, had to be kept on hand to remove
| the gastric troubles of the suffering black
man. II is wonderful how often his diges-
tive organs got out OF sorts. Hardly day
passed that "Miss Kitty or "Marse Noah"
did not have TO administer the spurious cure
all to some poor suffering bondsman.
What wish to assert, as a strictly tenn
perate man, is this: The President OF the
United States, although teetotal slave, ought
TO be allowed as much freedom as the ing.
ger" slave ever had.
