and you know when Mr.. Jolly went
to scabbing how many packages of

those beans you told me of. When you
claimed to be union you had beans to
feed the birds on and the scabs could
MT get them for breakfast for they
were so high at the company's store.

OBITUARY.

Lizzie E. Wyckoff, daughter of AS
her and Sarah Wyckoff, was born on
the third day of May, 1888, in Sequat-
chic County, Tennessee. On the
fourth day of September, in the coun-
ty in which she was born, she was
married to Geo. w. Pickett. Her first
born, a son, died in infancy. Her sec
ond child, a son, and her third child,
a daughter, are still living. In Sep
TENDER, 1904, she followed her husband
to Herrin, Williamson County, Illinois
On the twenty eighth of November
1905 she gave birth to a son. She died
on the seventh day of December. The
babe died on the twentieth day of the
same month. Both were buried at Her
rim, Illinois.
Lizzie aunt, Mrs Lucinda Thomas,
of Casey, Illinois, has sent the follow
ing lines, which are sacred to Lizzie's
memory:
Lizzie, the beautiful, sweet as rose,
Fair as a lily, bright as star,
Gentle and dutiful, called to repose,
Safe where angels and seraphim are
Vision of loneliness lent us while,
Deep in our hearts shall the image
remain,
Winning us Heavenward still by the
smile,
Away from the valley of sorrow and
pain.
blessed are they who pass in their
youth
From Eden to Paradise, full of de-
light:
Full of devotion, affection and truth,
Evermore free as the angels of light
Lizzie, our darling, adieu to thee
now,
Hidden by roses awhile from our
sight,
A halo of glory encircles thy brow,
Undimmed evermore by the shad-
ows of night.
"Our hearts thrilled with JOY at thy
touch of thy hands,
Our lives brighter grew at the glance
of thine eyes,
Thy sweet voice was music, the soul
understands,
A prelude to harmony reaching the
skies.
Sweet are the memories we cherish
of thee,
Lizzie, the beautiful, leading the way
To bliss that in visions we sometimes
| fOresee,
That waits at the dawning of Love.
perfect day.
Far away from her mother she suffered
and died;
And her mother and kindred wert
| not notified
Until, with their eyes, the sad new
they read
That Lizzie, the dear one they cher
ished, was dead
Far away from her mother her bod,
now sleeps,
And the sad, bereaved mother. wit
broken heart, weeps,
For the grave of her darling, her eye
cannot see
Very gloomy and sad will her futur
days be.

JOCKO "A True Story.
BY ISABELLE JOYCE.

The great circns was out on parade
Wnen Jocko came. Everything was
CONFUSION about the grounds in prepa-
ration for the afternoon performance,
and no one thought to take a peep
Into the monkey cage where another
little member had been added to the
family.
Hundreds of street urchfns stood
about gazing at the wonderful side
show pictures patronizins the red
lemonade and peanut men and striy-
ing to pass the time before the hour
set for the show to begin. The smell
of sawdust permeated the air and
brought real joy and fond memories
TO the hearts of the few old timers
in the crowd who shifted and recalled
their first circus
Criers were drumming up patron

enumerated the endless chain Of mar
Velous features to be seen in the
three great rings" And then "a
grand concert will follow the main
show and will enlist the services of
some of the greatest artists in the
world. All this can be heard for the
small sum Of ten cents-only a dime"
from one corner OF the grounds
came the boom of drum and the sub
sequent announcement that "now
could be seen the most wonderful
side show ever exhibited" while
few feet away the family differences
of "Punch and Judy" offered amuse-
ment to as many as could crowd
about the little improvised theatre.
The atmosphere was full of circus,
The daily tribune., 1906-01-19

and to the great events Of the day
had been added the coming OF Jocko.
Jocko's mother wore look Of real
monkey pride when her associates
came in from the street show, and 1t
was not long before Jocko became the
pride of the entire monkey family.
His whims were indulged with Tor
bearauce that proved beyond doubt
the love of his guardians. They never
scolded, never molested. 1t was only
when some one OF their number out
Of sorts, perhaps, gave him n stronger
reprimand than the ordinary monkey
rebnke. They fought his battles,
crooned over him In his mishaps,
romped with him and stood up Tor
him like one great parent.
Jocko was not like other monkey
children, and soon grew to know his
power. He wrapped his little self
around their hearts, and when he
grew big enough to go out In the
street parade the pride Of the monkey
family knew no bounds.
First he Travelled In cage with his
older associates. His little red coat,
brighter in hue than any of the others
gilt-for Jocko had his friends among
the circus people-made him n con-
spicuous figure In the group.
Jocko was the real monkey In the
crowd. He initiated the others, made
them play "understander" for him
while he practlced all kinds of aero
batic feats. and he soon became an
expert performer The joy Of his
guardians, therefore. was complete
when they saw him riding about the
big arena perchcd on pony's back.
They sQueaked In true monkey de-
light at their protege's fine "horse,
mnnship," for Jocko became the finest
monkey bareback rider in the mena'
Rerie. Day after dny he rode his pony
to victory. Day nfter day the monkey
family waited cxcitedly for his "turn.'
They were there to squeak approvn

and Jocko has ceased to struggle.
As tenderly as II he had been baby
they picked him mp. His little heart
still beat family, and through his
dim little eyes ~ looked up at them.
They were the men who had watched
him from babyhood, and he knew
their grief.
The band stopped the "circus music"
abruptly as one OF the men bore Jocko
back to the animal tent. 1t was the
man who, but a few minutes before,
had placed Jocko on his favorite
mount. 1t was he who had fastened
the strap but for which the little fel-
low might have jumped to safety In
stead OF to death.
Caring little for those who saw, the
big, burly fellow carried Jocko in one
arm and hid his face In the other as
he mndc his way to the monkey cage.
He had taken the little fellow out
only short while before had romped
with him all the way to the big tent
AMI had given him n parting tap as
the ponies dartcd OF. And he was
bringing him back dying.
Tenderly he laid him inside while
the other monkeys, daZed TO see the
little fellow come home In any other
way than romp, gathered about
chattering their misunderstanding.
They soon saw that Jocko's life was
fast going away. The poor little
MANNED body lay pathetically still,
and but for the old light in the eyes
they could not have recognized their
bright, loving little charge.
He looked up at them piteously.
They had been so proud OF him, and
he had loved them NIL. His little eyes
blinked pathetic farewell to his
faithful guardians.
Outside in the big tent the band
banged away M a daring equestricnne
dashed around the main ring. But
there was no joy In the monkey cage,
for Jocko had ridden his last race.
