This was followed by solo by Mrs.
Schroeder, There is land mine eye

Rev. H. NJ. Green, of Christ's Episco-
pal church, was the next speaker, and
he spoke from the standpoint of one
who was close personal friend of
Mr.. Andrew. He told of how he first
met Mr.. Andrew at a hotel in Thief
River Falls seven years ago, and how
they seemed to be mutually drawn to-
gether when they first met in this
casual way. This chance acquain-
lance soon ripened into a deep friend
ship, which was greatly priced by Mr..
Green. From this close personal
knowledge which he had of the man,
and from the heart to heart talks he
had had with him, he knew he was
noble Christian man; a man who lived
clean. godly life, and one who by his
example had a far-reaching influence
for good. He did not know as to his
church membership, and cared less,
but he knew that he was a man who
had an endless life. Following Mr..
Green. was Mr.. Chas. Full, of Pembina,
North Dakota, president of the North
Dakota Merchants association, who
spoke of the high esteem in which Mr..
Andrew had always been held by
the merchants of that state, who knew
him OF with whom he had done bust
frsa 0R
Andrew Tor a number of years and
felt that he was better man for hay-
ing known him. The quartet again
sang-their next number being,
Nearer by God to Thee" H. Beck,
OF st. Paul, representing the jobbers
OF that city, was the next man to
speak. Mr.. Beck drew attention to the
fact that Mr.. Andrew was not
great as the world counts great
ness" but he pointed out that his life
was really great in the truest sense of
the word. He dwelt on the fact of the
Importance of good life and the far
reaching and beneficient results of
such life. The travelling men were
represented by F. X. Gravel, former
resident of Crookston, now living at
Duluth. who spoke from the point of
view of the travelling men who asso-
clated with Mr.. Andrew, and who were
in that close fraternal relation, the
same line of work. Mr. Gravel said in
part: I'VE Of the craft who knew him
we'll, and who have covered the same
territory for years, can vouch for his
character as a manly man." Especial
~ did Mr. Gravel bespeak the SYM
pathy of friends and fellow travellers
for the children and near relatives of
Mr.. Andrew in their great loss. After
paying high tribute to Mr.. Andrew,
ne touched significant chord in
speaking of the great good which had
come to himself and his fellow travel
ing statesmen through the clean life
and fine example of the departed. He
said further, II would that we all
who remain in his old territory might
try to lead a better life and one as
perfect and faithful as his, because we
knew him, and that we may look for
ward to hear his CHEEKY welcome after
We have passed beyond" J. E.
O'Brien spoke of Mr. Andrew as a
model man in his line of business. One
whom it would be we'll for any young
man to copy after. He paid a glowing
tribute to Mr.. Andrew as one who
abounded in cheerfulness and dis
pensed sunshine and happiness where
ever he went. After another number
by the quartet, when the mists have
rolled away" the benediction was pro-
nounced by Rev. C. C. Markham of the
Baptist church.
Just before the benediction was pro-
nounced, Mr.. Wheeler read letter
which he had received from R. b.
Griffith Of Grand Forks, who stated
that he was very sorry he found it
impossible to be present after receiv-
ing an invitation to speak. He paid a
high personal tribute to Mr.. Andrews,
stating that he was man who be-
lieved that square deal was more
to be desired than temporary profit"
and stated that che was a man who
would net thing of stopping to trick
cry to get business" Special mention
should be made of the music at the
service. The Ahlo quartet sang in
perfect harmony and every song they
sang was beautiful and filled the
house with melody. Mrs. ,Schroder's
solo was sung in her usual perfect
manner, and was very touching. The
travelling men of the city met at the
Oddfe]low's hall before the meeting,
and marched in a body to the opera
house where they were given special
seats. The members of the G. A. r.
also attended, in a body.
The committee in charge of the
services were: Frank J. Caldwell, ].
A. Getty. J. c. Sabin and David Ii.
Turner, all members of the Crookston
U. C. T.
