In Loving Remembrances of
Willie Grafton Iiager

On March %, 1907, the Death Angel
entered the home OF Mr.. and Mn.
Floyd Hager, and took from II their
oldest son, Willie. Willie Grafton
Hager was born near Wittens Mills
Nov. 3, 1895, and died March %, 1907,
at the home of his parents near Unaka.
He only spent few short summers
with us. He bore his sickness with out
n murmer or complaint. He told the
writer few hours before his death TO
tell his father and mother not TO
mourn for him, for In few hours he
would be well again, and he smiled as
though the angels were whispering
something TO him. His foot steps are
no longer heard, his chair is vacant and
can never be filed, and il seems 30
hard TO give him up. SO young, when
life is sweetest, and the future 80 bright
But 1t was Gods will, and for some
good purpose He was loved and ad
mired by all who knew him, but all
that kind parents physicians and
friends could do could not stay the
hand OF death. How sad we feel when
we think that dear Willie who once
cheered our homes has been taken
from us. We loved him-yes, we loved
him, but Angels loved him best, and
they have sweetly called him to
yonder's shining shorei We can talk to
him no longer here His voice is hush
ed in death, but we will strive to live
so as TO meet him again. He has
reached his heavenly home, and with
beckoning hands is calling his loved
ones to come to that fair city where
there is no sickness, pain or death-no
sad good by'sl Hattie Gilpen.

We are Of the opinion that much OF

as we are now having the worst OF
winter, after n season OF nice sunshine.
So warm that grass was growing and
peach and pear trees and some other
fruits were in full bloom. Now for the
past few days we have been having a

Read This to Your Boy.
Evening (Richmond) Jourual)


You have heard of Farmer" Burns
the famous wrestler, who for man,
years has been able TO get both shoul
ders of the best of them down OF the
mat.
Farmer Burns does not smoke
chew, drink, swear or use tea or cof-
fee.
Do you understand why Burns cuts
out tea, coffee, tobacco and liquor?
Simply because these things stand in
the way of his being a strong man
physically. He must have muscles
that are strong as iron, supple as a
tigers. He must have lungs like a
blacksmith bellows. He must have
a brain as clear as a PhilGd ,lphia law
yer.
Any kind of artificial stimulus,
whether it is weak like tea, coffee, to-
bacco or strong like whiskey, inter
feres with his right breathing, inter
feres with his muscle expansion, in
terferes with pure blood in the brain.
He can't afford TO use stimulants. In
the end they tend 10 weaken his body
and his mind.
But you cannot see quite the con-
nection between swearing and physical
strength. Let Buns himself explain.
"Lots of people," he says, cant
see what swearing has to do with it.
Let me tell you that swearing is the
beginning of toughness, and toughness
is the beginning OF weakness"
Wrestlers and athletes and cham
pions of the diamond and the saw
dust ring-on the average-do not last
long. And the reason for it is they
get tough They grow weak. BY
and by they get knocked out.
The man that swears at every Jump
Of his pulse cannot be clean inside.
To be a strong man you must be
clean inside and out. To be clean he
must be strong. Do you see?
Every fellow who has red blood in
his veins wants To be strong and man
ly. Isn't that true?
The trouble is that many fellows get
the idea that bl owing cigarette smoke
through the nose or swearing big oaths
helps TO make them like men. But
that is n mistake. Instead of making
boys manly it makes them tough. and
a tough is weallling.
This is no Sunday School lesson.
this lesson from Farmer Burns. 1t is
not preaching. 1t is the telling O.
some facts about strength and manlif
ness that every decent chap ought to
know.
If you want TO be manly and sue
cessful be clean outside and inside. BE
a gentleman, not "a tough. Because
toughness is weakness.
The tough boy is sure to grow up to
be weak man, and the weakness will
show some day.
The clean boy has every chance to
be strong man.
