Just one year ago today as | am
thinking over my past life with its
pleasures and its sorrows, my mind goes
back to just n year ago when our lit
tie home and our hearts were m ade glad
with, as We thought, one of the sweet
est little children that ever entered any
home. Her little eyes were so soft and
sweet, and as we looked into the great
future, we could almost see our swee,
little baby child as she would prattle
around in our little home.
Just four short months, in the beau
tiful month of May, the God that doeth
all things for the best came into our
home and called her away.
Yes. the baby is dead. Today the
rain is falling on her little grave. Even
now as l write the footprints OF those
who loved her are already gone, for the
rain has fallen hard and fast. But the
footprints of baby still abide in papa's
and mammals hearts. Long, long days
will come and go and long, long nights
will join them in the darkness of the
past, but the footprints of the baby will
linger in the hearts of those who loved
her until they, too, have heard the sum-
mons Of the great King.
Not long ago, as l have so often done,
opened the trunk to see the little frocks
our baby wore, but the tears gathered
as they have done each time l have
touched the sacred relics of a happier
day. Does it matter when baby dies?
Oh! don't ask me. Go and ask S omeon
who has v known a bah US love and
who never felt the touch of a baby's
arm around her fathers neck. Go ask
someone that while leaning over the
cradle caught two eyes looking Up into
papa's face-soft blue eyes which today
are closed forever. Oh, yes, it matters
when a little baby dies! Those who
never knew what an empty cradle
means cannot enter here.
Rest on, my dear sainted little Ruth.
till the resurrection morn. Let flow
ers bloom upon thy grave in gladstone
days of Spring, and let falling leaves
of gold abide upon thy resting place
when winter comes. Thou art not glad
end by bloom nor saddened by shade.
With Jesus thou art today in hallowed
peace and rest. Some day, | too shall
cross over the river to rest side by side
under the shade of the trees.
In this life are many sorrows which
may fill our hearts with grief, but we
should trust each care to Jesus and He
will give us sweet relief. In each tear
He paints a rainbow as a promise ever
true that if we trust Him as our pilot
He will guide us safely through.
PAPA.

March Nearly 400 men were
thrown out Of work in Jackson
Monday morning by the shut ng
down Of the local Mobile & Chic
shops. A meeting of the men
was held shortly after they were
informed of the shutdown by
the placards posted on the shop
gates. Reports from the con
ference committees which have
been in consultation with officials
of the road for the last week
with a view of adjusting the
wage differences was heard. 10
decisive action was taken, but
the sentiment of the union was
to stand pat on the refusal to ac-
cept the proposed cut for The
present.

Rests on His Laure1s.

Herr Won Moser, the celebrated
German poet, whose body has just
beer. cremated at Gotha, had in his
possession some years before his
death a miniature coffin made of
crystal destined to receive his
ashes. In this coffin were con-
tanned a number of withered
leaves of laurel, each of which had
been plucked from one or other Of
the wreaths offered him by admir-
ers. The explanation of this was
to be found in the often-repeated
jest of the poet: II shall repose
upon my laurels." This prophecy
has now been actually realized.

UTAH PAVING MATERIALS TO BE
TESTED BY STATE SCHOOL OF MINES

Experiments are being carried on in
the mechanical laboratory at the uni
versity on different materials used in
the construction of roads. The INSTALL
ment Of several new testing machines
along with the other apparatus has
made the laboratory particularly well
adapted for this work. The following
statement was issued yesterday by the
men in charge of this testing work:
The people of the state of Utah are.
more and more. coming to realize the
necessity of improving the roads of the
state. This is especially true at pres
ent in the cities. A great deal of as
phalt ard macadam pavements are be-
ing put down, and there is consider
able difference of opinion as to the rel
ative values of the different materials
used. The proper way TO settle such
matters is TO resort TO the standard
tests that have been accepted by en-
gineers for materials used in such
places.
