band and bears testimony to her
perfect, wifely devotion. One
turning the pages Of this soul
revealing autobiography, finds
himself in the sacred precincts Of
a holy place where with bowed
head, hushed breath snd soften
ed tread, he does obeisance to
the noble spirit it enshrines.
For several years Mrs. Falk-
nor has been 4 continual suiie-
ror, having to conserve her fall
ing strength with the utmost care
and prudence. Yet her 50 rit lost
none of its buvancy, her nature
none of its sunshine. For the
gladness and brightness that are
born OF heaven, TRANSPORTED her
life during these last years Of
suffering and pain. The surely
approaching end had no terrors
tor her. Exultant faith assured
her of that victory over the sting
of death and the grave, which
only the triumphant soldier of
the cross can achieve. Her life
had been a preparation for death ;
she had woven golden threads
into the warp and wool of life
the perfected pattern had beed
wrought out under the Fathers
All-seeing eye, the finished fab
rio vas His own,
When the end came there was
no need for parting instructions
or farewells; she simply closed
her eyes on Gods beautiful earth
to open them again in His per.
feet Heaven. Like the gent,
passing of an evening zephyr
the Death Angel soothed her t.
sleep. Like the soft lapsing o
refulgent waters unon the glist,
enlng beach, the fair tides OF lif,
ebbed out. Like the last swee
tones of some distant pealin.
bells, the pulsing of her beauti,
full soul grew fainter upon earth
only to break into a celestial har
mony upon the tuneful air o
Heaven. To her loved ones, 70
whom she made home the sweet
est, most sacred place on earth
these tender words, written OIL
the fly leaf of her bible, mus
come like the softening echoes o
her own sweet voice; wooin!
them to her home above:
"And somewhere yet on the hill tops
or the country that hath no pain
She will watch, in the beautiful door
way.
To bid us welcome again"

big ugly teeth, scurvy gums, scar

Such was the description on post
al cards mailed out last week by
Sheriff J. e. Hughes, which resulted
in the capture of the man in Water
loo, Iowa, Saturday.
Lifts trouble is another story of
an attempt to impose upon the con-
fldence OF woman. Last week,
Mrs Channie Franklin comely
looking widow with one small child
came to the officers here from Can
yon with a story of a mans trickery
and d6plicity,
She had been a boarding house
keeper in reasonably good circum-
stances In Lone Wolf, OKLA, till a
few weeks ago. Lift, she said, Oft
on made the town in the course of
commercial traveling,and stopped at
her house. He finally prevailed
upon her by telling of better pros
poets and perhaps some other blan-
dishments to sell out her business
at Lono Wolfsand get ready to so to
Roswell, N. NJ, with him. There
she would open a rooming house in
which he would assist by taking
stock.
The woman made the disposition
of her property and shipped her eff
fects by freight She then had
something over $500 in cash and
$400 in notes. These she was in
duced to turn over to Lit, because,
he said, woman could not prop
erly take care OF the money. The
bills of lading for the freight were
also in his hands.
The couple arrived in Amarillo
before Christmas and spent the day
at the Mason house. They then
went to Canyon City where Lift told
the widow he wished to stop on
business. He then told her to stay
there few days and to pass her
self off as his wife till he could
return from a trip to Plainview and
the south plains towns.
She waited. The next advice
from him was in the form of a tel
egram from Kansas City saying:
Sensational news. Go on to Ros-
we'll. Will come or write soon."

IN THE MAYORS COURT
Three Contributors Happened 10 Have
Enough Whisky 10 Develop Plain
Gases Of Drunk.
(From Mondays Daily.)

Whiskey of somewhat uncertain
derivation brought three contribu-
tors into the mayors court this
morning. g
James Brown had met a friend at
Canyon who owned gallon of
whiskey and who kindly let Brown
have a pint or so Of the precious
liquid. The pint seemed to have
had great carrying power for Brown
was gloriously drunk yesterday aft
ernoon when the city officers took
him in hand.
]. Il. Harris, a STRAIGHTFORWARD
young fellow, OF decidedly better
appearance than the company in
which he was found. was one of a
convivial party last night and be
came SO deliriously happy that he
fell into the clutches Of the officers
and spent the night in Jail. He is
carpenter and halls from Cana
dian. IL seems that he had a good
start before the party was made up.
Then he says one Of the men went
and got some more whiskey from
someplace. He did not know the
mans name and did not know where
the whiskey came from.
Charles McGrade, a lehman of
the Western Union, plead guilty to
the same offense but denied buying
any Of the strong waters yesterday.
This morning about 2 o'clock, he
said, he bought some whiskey in a
saloon on the Bowery and this with
what he had already imbibed put
him to the bad.
All three men were subjected to
racking examination by the city Of
ficers as to the place and time they
purchased the intoxicants. The us
ual plain drunk fine was assessed in
every caes.
