Teresa Britt-A Tribute.

On the morning of the 18th of Sep
TENDER at 4:10 o'clock the death angel
come to the home of Mr.W Foster and
Leila Britt, and bore the spirit of their
six-year-old daughter to the Paradise of
God. Teresa was loving child, the
darling of her fond parents hearts.
She never knew what it was to be we'll
and when that cruel disease, diptheria,
set its clutches upon her, her.weakened
constitution gave way and God took her
to Himself.
She often spoke to her mother about
dying, asking her if she would 90 to
heaven when she died. She suffered a
great deal but was patient. She was
conscious until the last. Just a short
while before the death angel came, her
mother being in an adjoining room
weeping, she said to her loving aunt,
who was ministering to her needs,
Tell mama not to cry" During her
sickness she often asked her mother
not to weep; for she was resting easy.
All was done for her by loving hearts
and kind neighbors with the aid of a
skilled physician that could be done;
but God knew best. Weep not, fond
parents,l it Is we'll with your child Teresa
IS basklng in the sunlight of Gods pre-
sence. She cannot come back to you,
but You can go to her. May God bind
up their broken hearts and help them to
say ''Thy will be DONE" She is not
dead, but only sleepeth. The sympathy
of the entire community goes out to
| them in their sad bereavement.
Sleep on, sleep on, our precions darling,
From all earthly pain you're free;
In Jesus arms we know your are
resting,
Where no troubles come to thee.
Sleep on, sleep on, our precious dar-
ling,
And our tears will cease to flow
When we shall meet you in that glory,
All as pure and white as snow.
Sleep on, sleep on, our precious dar-
ling,
Till we meet you there on high,
In Jesus arms thy rest be ever,
Precious one, goodbye, goodbye!

FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
Expect Great Things of Yourself

A soldier once took a message

that the horse he rode dropped
dead before he delivered the pa

sWer, and, handing it to the mes
senger, ordered him to mount
his own horse and deliver it with

too magnificent for a common

Napoleon said, Nothing is too

SHINE JUST WHERE YOU ARE

Don't waste your time in longing
For bright, impossible things,
Don't sit supinely yearning
For the swiftness of angel wings;
Don't spurn to be rushlight,
Because you are not star;
But brighten some bit of darkness
By shining just where you are.
There is need of the tiniest candle
AS well as the garish sun;
The humblest deed is ennobled
When it is worthily done;
You may never be called to brighten
The darkened regions afar;
So fill, for the day, your mission
By shining just where you are.
Make all good men your well-wishers
and then in years steady sitting
Some of them turn into friends. Friend,
are the sunshine of life.

STREET PAVING
WORK GOING SLOWLY

The Fort street end of the block paw
ing work under way on Queen street
will be completed and in a state to al
low opening for traffic week from next
Monday, not before. This is the opin-
ion of County Engineer Gere, who
thinks that no chances should be taken
in allowing the heavy traffic to com
mence pounding over the concrete until
it has had long enough to set thorough
ly. The Nuuanu street end of the work
is already being travelled over by the
drays.
This Queen street work has taken
longer than was anticipated, principally
because the amount of pitch ordered for
the job proved insufficient and fresh
supply had to be sent for on a hurry
up order This supply reached the city
on Wednesday, but the kind sent is not
the kind ordered and a further delay
will be necessary unless the experiments
going on now with the new pitch show
that it is disable. Engineer Gere had
these experiments under way yesterday
afternoon.
Though slow, it appears fairly GER
tain that the job will be a good one
when completed. The engineer thinks
that the pavement will be found alb
solutely watertight ana if this be cor
rect there will be nothing to prevent
the street wearing until the blocks
themselves are worn out. 1t is prob
able, too, that the cost of the work
will come within the appropriation.
