Dear Grandma, how me miss thee,
Thou vast faithful. true and kind;
But thou art Reetly sleeping
With Him, o Love Divine.
No more we see thy smiling face,
We hear no more thy gentle voice,
For thou art sleeping blessed sleep.
From which none ever wakes to weep.

But God has Lived you best,
And He has taken you from home,
To enter Eternal rest.

ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR THE TONIC
TREATMENT FOR DISORDERS OF TIE
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-07

About 900 sons and daughters Of the
Old Bay stats and g number OF nfher
persons from down east assembled at
New England hall last night to par
take Of an old-fashioned bean supper.
There were good things galore spread
before those who were fortunate enough
to be present.
The piece de resistance was, Of course,
the good old bean. In speaking OF the
bean last night not one at the dinner
was irreverent enough to make q joke
about the food of their fathers. Inc
sacred Goldfish, which hangs in the haiis
of the great and general court OF Mas
sachusetts. was referred to with dig
nifty and reverence.
The entertainment offered-musical
and oratorical-was q delightful fea-
ture of the evening.
Mrs. Charlotte Halves, the well known
composer and pianist of Boston, rend-
cred several of her best numbers, which
were enthusiastically received.
w. ]. Forbes introduced an excellent
Photographic feature, while Mrs. San
derson gave delightful recitation.
But it was the inner man that clam
ored most loudly for attention and the
feast provided was satisfying to the
assemblage.
The menu might alarm an ordinary
mortal who has never fingered in play
full dalliance with the gentle Dakeu
bean or basked in the sunshine OF the
smile of the merry Goldfish ball, but
the New Englanders present shook
hands with themselves as they sat
down to the repast.
Faced by phalanx of ninety-fve
large, open-faced pies with the pumpkin
movement; flanked by pots containing
forty gallons of baked beans; dough-
nuts to the right Of them; brown bread
| to the left of them-oh, the joy of it all!
And the guests. They were bright
eyed, apple checked maidens from
Hyannis down the cape; schoolmarms
from Northampton; retired fishermen
who have made fortunes at Gloucester;
| lissome lasses from Leominster; buxom
beauties from Billerica, Bridgewater;
glad faced girls from Grafton, and
cherry Tipped charmers from dear old
Chelsea and dignified dowagers from
Dorchester. Youths from Yarmouth,
husky and bronzed; Maiden men and
women from Medford; men from Maine,
New Hampshire and the Green Noun
tain state. All parts of the original
sachusetts bay colony, the Hamp-
shire grant and the Estate of Maine"
And all Qncluding the inner mani, said
| that it was good to be there.

sneoial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
VALDOSTA, Ga, March 6.-An in
teresting story of a raid made by Of
ficers at Lake Park on a number of al
legged gamblers was made current yes
terdya. 1t is understood that war;
rants for gambling have been sworn
out against dozen or more men
there, some of them prominent citi-
zens, two or three Valdostans, whom
it is said have been in the habit of
going to Lake Park to indulge in a
game. One citizen is said to have lost
all of his money and the bulk of his
property playing poker and finally put
up several hundred pounds of bacon,
hams, lard and other provisions, which
went the way of his money.
The parties to whom he lost sent a
wagon to his home and began to take
possession of the goods, but when the
citizen saw his provisions leaving him
he "squealed" on the crowd and insti-
tuted bail trover proceedings to re-
cover the property. Warrants were
sworn out against the parties alleged
to have been in the game, and a
number of arrests have been made.
Others, it is said, will be arrested this
week.

Special to The Herald.
KANSAS CITY, March 6.-The ac-
tive crusade against the "joirts" OF
Wyandotte has come to halt, and all
because a stenographer could not resist
the charms of Cupid. This stenogra-
pher was girl, and she was employed
in the office of w. H. McCamish, as
sistant attorney general. who is the
legal power of the "joint" fight. 1t is
necessary to have many documents
prepared with typewriter to prosecute
the "jointists" in the courts. Mr.. Nc
Camish found a young woman three
days ago, and had just gotten her
started we'll on some very important
papers. She did not go to work yes
terday, but sent word that she had
married. Now the fight on the Joints"
must wait until a successor can be
found.
But the assistant attorney general is
not looking for another girl-he has
had too much trouble with them losing
their hearts and their heads just at the
wrong time. He cannot afford to trust
the fate of the "joint" crusade any
more in the hands of tickle woman.
