MlIlARD WISE DEAD.

MillaEd Wise died at his home
near Glenwood, December III, 1908.
after several days illness; the i'm
mediate GAUGE of his death being
heart trouble. Our hearts are sore
and heavy and We cannot under
stand why he should be called
away. One whom we had all
learned to love aud respect for his
sterling worth,
The final summons came on the
above date. Friday. December Ill,
and the spirit of a loving son and
brother was translated into the
Great Beyond. from whose bourne
no traveller returns." No one
hears when the door opens through
which our loved ones pass into
the Great Beyond. Softly, silently
they go, like the leaves of the
roses, leaving naugbt but sweet
perfume and loving memories.
Life and death are mysteries which
mono of ne can solve.
In howell and palac alike there is woe;
Death on its mission doth everywhere
go.
No place so hallowed but what there
is pain,
For the links that are broken In LIES
golden chain.
he will be sadly missed in his
home for home was a hallowed
spot for him. Twas here you
learned his true worth and Char
aoter.
Millard leaves father. mother,
four brothers and three sisters to
mourn his demise
The K. q e had charge of the
funeral Services were conducted
ny Rev. Woody. The music
rendered by his music teacher was
appropriate for the occasion, after
which he was laid to rest in the
Fairfield cemetery.
To the family we extend our
heartfelt sympathy aud this we
have faith to believe.
Some day, sometime, our eyes shall
see
The faces kept in memory;
Some day their hands shall clasp our
hand,
Just over in the border land.
THERE'S no death-the stars go down
To rise upon a fairer shore;
And doubly bright in Heavens crown
They shine forever more.
Then why do our tears run down,
Our hearts in sorrow riven;
Another star in Glory's crown;
Another soul In Heaven.

driving the big caissons, which are
oothiug more than rectangular stee
tubes about "a feet long and of sufficient
width and breath 10 allow man to work
comfortably on the inside, it sometimes
happens that distractions such as stones
or Other hard substances impede the
downward progress of the tubes, and II
is the duty of the divers to remove these
obs ructioDs, working on the inside oi
the csisson.
Yesterday morning Small was SEM
down to remove distractions from be-
meath caisson st the foot Of Aloemarlt
street. he WAS dressed in Divers uni
form, and after he bad descended into
the water several men on shore manned
a pump to supply air to him.
About 80 minutes is the usual time foi
diver to stay under water Without
coming t. the surface for traathiDe
spell, and when this time hsd elapsed
and no signal bad come from Small those
at the air pump became alarmed and
pulled the diver to the surface. The
moment the divers helmet showed biz
companions hastily stripped him of hi
cumbersome uniform. His felOW-work
men summoned sn ambulance and haC
Small sent to City Hospital, where the
physicians declared the man was dead
1t was first thought that death might
have resulted from sufocation, due t.
some defect in toe pipes supplying ali
10 him beneath the water, but after ex-
amining the body Coroner Sudler ex'
pressed the opinion that the man hsC
died of hesrt disease.
