IF ever get rich enough to present
the city of New York with a manu-
ment l am going to give a copy of one
[ saw in Germany this summer" said
a man who travels THAT is the most
sensible thing in the statue line | ever
saw. 1t is a monument to potatoes.
1t is certainly unique. The upper part
consists of statue to Sir Francis
Drake, who is revered for having in
troduced the plant into Europe. This,
as well as the pedestal, is draped with
garlands of the potato vine, with the
full grown tubers intact. On the ped
estal are inscriptions. The first sets
forth that the above figure is Sir
Francis; the second explains in words
of highest praise what a blessing the
potato has been to mankind; the third
records that the statue is the gift of
a certain Andrew Frederick, of Stras-
burg; the fourth contains the names
of the erectors. 1t strikes me that a
monument to some valuable product
of nature is much more appropriate
than all the stone efigies of celebrities
that cluster our parks at the present
time.

DIED, at her home with parents
near Vernal, Miss Martha Mcleod,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jno. j.
Mcleod, on Sunday June, 2 1907.
She was buried late the same day
We spoke last week of her being dan
gerously i'll of Typhoid Fever
Through the thoughtful kindness of
a friend of the family, we are able to
present her obituary in this issue.
Looks hard indeed to see one of the
bright and beautiful flowers of earth
plucked by the Death Cleaner, but
in that Heavenly Country beyond
such jewels are needed to adorn its
courts. Miss Martha was just enter
ing womanhood and was young lady
of many endearing traits of charac-
ter. The HERALD is attached to every
member of the household from which
she was taken. No firmer friends
have we made in Greene County than
this family of McLeods. Therefore our
coincidence is especially expressive.

However we may call:
They throng the silence of the breast
We see them as of yore
The kind the brave the true, the sweet,
Who walk with us no more!
TiS hard to take the burden up,
When these have laid them down:
They frightened all the JOY of life;
They softened every frown;
But, o, tbs good to think of them,
When are troubled sore,
Thanks be to God that such have been,
Though they are here no more
More homelilke seems the vast unknown
Since they have entered there;
To follow them were not so hard
Wherever they may fare;
They cannot be where God is not
On any sea or shore;
What er betides. Thy love abides,
Our God, forever more."
