In memory of Joseph James Twilley.
who departed this life, November 5th.
1907:
In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we loved so dearly,
In his cold and silent grave.
Home is dark, so dark and lonely,
Lonely, lonely every spot,
Listening for his voice till weary,
Weary for we hear 1t not.
Friends may think well soon forget
you.
And our wounded hearts be healed
But they. little know the sorrow,
That's within our hearts concealed.
Some day our heartaches all will cease
And we will rest in perfect peace,
Where sin and care cannot annoy,
Heavens sweetest pleasures wei
enjoy.

GIANT OYSTERS

EVER4O has laughed
- at the story of the
young wife who ordered
half a dozen halibut
for dinner. Had she lived
in the South Pacific Is
lands, she might have
been equally laughed at
for ordering half a dozen
oysters, to say nothing of
a pint, which is not at all
uncommon among Ameri-
can Commands.
Pliny mentions that, &C
cording to the historians
of Alexander's expedition,
oysters a foot in diameter
were found in the Indian
seas. And Sir James Ten
nant was unexpectedly
enabled to corroborate the
correctness of this state
ment: for near Trincomali
enormous specimens of ed
ible oysters were brought
before him. One of these
was found to measure
more than eleven inches
in length by half as many
in width.
But this extraordinary
measurement is beaten by
the oysters of Port Lin
coin, South Australia,
which are the largest edi-
BILE ones in the world.
They are as large as a dim
ner plate, and of much the
same shape. They are
sometimes more than a
foot across the shell, and
the oyster fits its habita-
ton so we'll that it does
not leave much if any mar
gin.
1t is no uncommon ex-
perience in that quarter
for a person who is hun
CRY to have one oyster,
fried in butter or in eggs
and bread crumbs, set
before him. The delicacy
of flavor of the Port Lin
coin mammoth is famous,
even in that land of lux
uries, and one is ample
even for a hearty appetite.

Chief over her SHINY
black hair, to the
yellow dog that comes
sniffin' up. As for me
and Jacques, they
looks on us kind of
suspicious.
Duke tells 'em he's
decided to be a Gypsy
too. He says he's al
ways thought he'd
like the life; but this
is his first chance of
tryin' it. Would they
mind lettin' him join
the procession in the
morning? He was

of the expenses, and he
could carry five or six
in the limousine when
they were on the road.
l didn't hear any
formal vote on the
question: but they all
seem to take it for
granted that Duke
was welcome to join
the band, especially
after he'd passed
around his gold tipped
cigarettes.
THEN, while the
! women folks was
clearin' up after the
meal, the men or
