our sentiments and feelings touching
his Masonic life and character.
With the death of Brother Tooley
all of the charter members of YER
sailles Lodge have passed away.
Strong, rugged men! Heroic pion-
eers! Like Bro. Tooley, they stood
for Justice, Law and Order, and for
all that makes for higher morality
and civilization among men. In the
trials and and vicissitudes OF life Bro.
Tooley brought to his aid the princi-
pal tenets and cardinal virtues of
Freemasonry. In the ordering of his
life, the shaping of his character, and
in his daily walk and conversation he
was guided and controlled by the
great moral precepts of Masonry.
Bro. Tooley was kindly disposed and
charitable. modest and unassuming,
and just in his dealing towards all
men. His lite was a credit to the
Fraternity. He was regarded as a
citizen Of high character, and chris
tian gentleman of high standing and
moral worth. We have consigned
his body to the grave. Peace to his
ashes. We commend his soul to God
who gave it.
RESOLVED, That this Lodge ded.
icate page of its Record to the
memory of Brother Tooley, and thai
these resolutions be furnished to the
press, and an engrossed copy to his
family, to whom our sympathy is ex'
tended in their bereavement.

Music OF The SOUL

=. 3. FoRDYcR.
Whence come those strains Of music
That so entrance the sour
Like graceful streams Of water
That in their channels roll;
Too silent for addition
Their murmurs to detect.
That oil the inmost feelings
Produce so great effect.
Like kiss Of gentle breexes
That seem the cheek to press.
And in the mind engender thoughts
That language can't express;
A feeling that we might have had
Par of in days Of yore.
Or feelings that we cannot tell
We ever had before.
Is the sweet silent melody
An inmate Of the heart'
Or does it come from otherwhere
Separate and apart
Is It some song that long ago
Its warning echoes spent,
And now returns on memory's train
To seek its surface VENT
Is II an impress on the mind,
That ever must remain;
That will, upon the records touch.
Produce itself AGAIN.
Or is 1t melody conveyed
On teie pathic wing,
Reverbe rating from some song
That angel minstrels sing'
Conveyed upon the magic chain
That love forever binds,
As medium to communicate
with other kindred minds.
Is it the music of the spheres
That in our nature teils'
Is II the spirit Of our God
That In his people dwells'
Is il the song OF some dear friend
Beyond the Jordan's tide'
Is it regeneration's voice,
As upward still we glide.
Toward that high and lofty plain
That leaves the world below,
Where strains Of sweetsr music cheer
The land to which we go'
whateer those silent strains pay be,
oh let them never cease
They bring foretaste Of the times
OF universal peace;
A rustic Of the winds that stir
Old Eschols' giant vines,
And watt the odor Of her grapes
That hold her gen'rous wines.
Sing on, sweet minstrel Of the heart,
Thy melodies In turn,
Fan to blaze the holy fires
That on its altar burn,
Lend faith glass to penetrate
The wilderness we roam;
Provide lamp to trace the path
That leads us to our home.

WE notice that editor Clay, Of the
Ozark Tribune, calls on his subscrib-
ers for supply Of wood and says he
prefers it "shelled." He probably
got that idea from the old war cry,
s'shell the woods" 1t was not so
long ago that Christian county edi-
tor was satisfied to just ask for wood
without specifications, taking what
was brought and glad to get it. We
are glad to see the brethren down
there getting so independent, for it
certainly requires nerve for news
paper man to call for "shelled"
wood. Editor Reed, Of the Ozark
Democrat, has not yet reached the
point, but will eventually get there, as
he specifies his preference for few
loads of long green white oak or
water elm poles. The why of this we
don't understand, but probably he
has reason. Now up here in Nor
gan county the editor don't need to
care whether he gets wood or not,
provided he has the cash to pay for
coal, and yet, lest we forget, we
might as well say that wood on SUBJ
scriptlon, even in Morgan county, is
thankfully received, and no editor
has yet had the gall to demand that
it be "shelled." If prosperity keeps
goading him on there is no telling
what the editor of the Tribune will be
calling for next.

A Hadley petition for Governor
was circulated this week in Rolla and

General Hadley is the best piece Of
furniture on the Republican bargain
counter and it will take the cleanest
Democrat in the state to defeat him.

There should be Hadley petition

guess that Hadley will be Folks sue
