ABERCROMBIG.
On Wednesday morning, til

held on the lawn in front OF
the residence, where 800 people
gathered to attend the solemn
obsequies. The Rev. William
Edwards, Congregational min
lister, performed the ritual ex-
ercises. and preached from the
words, "a new commandment
/ give unto you, that ye love
one another. Study to show
thyself approved unto God, a
workman that reedeth not to
be ashamed" The speaker said
in part: The first fraternal or
ganization was planned by God
according to the law of love.
The grandest thought for hui
man contemplation is, that love
is heaven born. If we do not
know the life of love here, We
cannot know it hereafter. Life
is the workshop of destiny, and
in all our labors, we should al
ways seek the approval of our
Father in heaven. The love of
God is the key to the love of
our fellow men. No man ever
truly loved his fellow man, who
did not love his maker. The
world is in need of help. Pain,
sin, distress, disappointment,
ignorance, affection and death
present everywhere, and the
only remedy for these condi-
tions, is the love of God in the
life of man; working for the
worlds deliverance. The life
and love of The Man of Sor-
rows should act as an inspira-
ton and encouragement to all
who desire the rewards of the
kingdom of love. The most ell
aborate creed in the universe is
worthless, if it fails to empha-
size the Fatherhood of God, and
the Brotherhood of Man. so
live, that when thy summons
comes to join the innumerable
caravan, that moves to that
mysterious realm, where each
shall take his chamber in the
silent halls of death, thou 20
not, like the quarry. slave at
night, scourged to his dungeon,
but, sustained and soothed by
an unfaltering trust, approach
thy grave, like one who wraps
the drapery of his couch about
him, and lies down to pleasant
dreams. Let us live in obedi.
ence to the law of love, for love
is Gods gate to Immortality"
Immediately after the SER
mon, Venerable Consul, John
Herrick, and the officers of the
Modern Woodmen of America.
Camp 293S, conducted the ritual
service of the order; a select
choir sang, 1--WE will never say
goodbye, and "God be with
you, ill we meet again. The
floral tributes were a pillow of
roses, NJ. w. of A.; wreath of
flowers, from Wahpeton lodge,
A. O, L. W., No. 6; Messrs. Nels
Oslund and John Jurgensen
acting as committee for the
lodge. A touching gift was the
bouquet of ferns and flowers
from the children of village.
The solemn gathering, led in
the procession by the NJ. w. of
A., proceeded to the cemetery,
where Rev. w. Edwards read
the burial ritual, and delivered
a fraternal charge, THE circle
of unity" was then formed
around the grave of the depart
ed neighbor, and those of his
wife and child. The fraternal
brotherhood sang, Nearer, My
God, to Thee" The minister
invoked benediction; the hon.
ors of woodcraft were bestowed,
and the circle broke to march
in line to the camp. where hav-
ing performed their charge,
they retired to their homes.

Silently Replaced Them, Piece by
Piece.

TO learn If any alarm had been given.
All was as still within as the black
ness of the garden wall, and after re-
moving the bulky canvas bags from
his old betrayer's pockets Mr.. Bilks
again entered the kitchen window and
made for the dining room. There
producing his lantern, he carefully
counted the pennies and nickels, abb
stracted so short time ago from the
little bank, and silently replaced them

THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes In With the New law-PauI
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law OF the State
OF New York has opened up promis-
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale OF
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms Of policies, each OF
which practically bears the hall mark
Of the State of New York, and this new
order OF things has established the
sale of life insurance on a correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
extravagant allowances TO agents has
driven out of the business the old
tyne of insurance agent, who in many
cases virtually bought business, with
large rebates, instead OF selling II.
His place is being taken by PROBES
sors. lawyers, school teachers OF both
sexes. and others, who find that being
a life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vacations. The law has
reduced commissions but all OF the
commission now goes to the agent.
Life insurance is something that
everyone needs and under the pres
ent system its sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton, president of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency or
ganization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company
He says: I'VE want new agents, both
men and women, but none except en-
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is a splendid
opportunity"
Mr.. Morton's policy of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force of the Society is meeting with
success in all parts of the country.

he swung his gum shoes over the sill

"Whiskers."

"Whiskers" was word formerly
used to designate the hair on the up
per lip. Scott more than once speaks
OF "whiskers on the upper lip and so
does Defoe in Robinson Crusoe.
Johnson defined a "whisker" as the
hair growing on the upper lip or cheek
unshaven; a mustachio." 1t seems to
have taken it's name from fancied
resemblance to small brush, 10
"whisk" properly meaning to sweep,
and "whisker" having been a par
ticular kind Of feather brush-also, in
the slang of a former time, switch
or rod. In the seventeenth century q
"whisker' signified among other
things a brazen lie, "whopper."
