Died.

Suddenly in Washington on Saturday,
John Theodore Ball, Sc years of age.
Funeral took place Tuesday from the
the Forestville Protestant Episcopal
Church.
His busy hands are folded;
His work on earth is done;
His trials are all ended;
His heavenly crown is won.
Called from this world to peaceful rest,
Called by God, who knows best;
Sweet in our memory he will always
remain
Until in heaven we meet again.
With CHEEKY smile and wave of the
hand,
He has wandered into an unknown land
And left US dreaming, how very fair
1t needs must be, since he fingers there.
And you, o you, who the widest year
For the .oldtime step and glad Ie-
turn,
Think of him still as the same, say;
He is not dead-he is just away
BY His Family.

In MenlOrianl.

Cranford-In sad, but loving remem-
brance of my dear brother, Bernard
Crawford, who departed this life six
years ago June 3rd 1902.
God called him home. it was his will,
But in our hearts we love him still
This memory's visit as dear today,
As in the hour he passed away
Brother gone, but not forgotten;
Never shall his memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts forever linger,
Round the grave where he was laid
Like star that is lost,
When the day light is given,
He was swept from this earth
To shine brightly in heaven
The trial was hard, the sting severe
To part with one We loved so dear.
By his loving sister

Modern Development.

The greatest peaceable migratory
movement of the world rose higher in
the first quarter of last year than it had
ever done before in recorded history.
One of the important facts then over
looked was the back flow, going ON in
connection with il 10 such an extent
that in the first quarter Of 1907 97,731
immigrants returned 10 Europe from the
single port Of New York. This was off
set then by arrivals Of more than four
to one for every departure, while during
the same period this year from the same
port there are 239 600 departures, or al
most two departures reported for every
arrival
Aside from causes well understood as
result of temporary conditions, this
movement forward and back around the
world has features of permanence which
belong to the development of cheap and
rapid transit in the recent past between
country and country. The first class

persons across the Atlantic in FIVE days,

his own fate he never had before. He
