of stomach trouble, after q long and
painful illness. Age So years. She

was confined to bed for q month be-
fore her decease. Death came not
! Unexpectedly and brought not terror
but relief and rest and happiness for
her who prayed that she might not

ing had made intolerable. In pity,
the Death Angel drew aside the cur
tains that her soul might enter the
Home prepared for it. Emily G.. Dun

In accordance with the request of
the G.. A. R.. department of Minneso-.
ia, that patriotic instruction be Civ
en- the school children, on the oath
of May, Comrade N. N. Palmeter
with a company of the Henry Rogers
Post in uniform visited our school.
The exercises opened with the sing
ing of a flag song by the school fol-
lowed by flag drill by Grammar de-
partment in which the movements
were very precise and graceful. The
Primary department cunningly ar
ranged themselves in four flanks and
sweetly saluted the audience.
N. Palmeter gave a very in
teresting and instructive address to
the children on patriotism, after
which Capt. Swift delightfully."- ex-
planned that patriotism is love of
home and loved ones as well as coun-
try The speakers were heartily ap-
plauded. One of the soldiers ex-
pressed the opinion that America
was safe under the present training,
if Brownsville was a fair specimen.
The Grammar Department then gave
a drill with military exactness. The
May-pole drill by intermediate de-
partment was given with streamers
in national colors. It was very we'll
executed and much admired.
