Faithful Service Rewarded.

Mrs. Rube Slattery who has for
several years been the treasurer of
the Ladies Aid Society of the
Catholic church, was pleasantly
surprised Thursday night when
the ladies of the society and their
husbands called at her home to
spend the evening, A most en-
joyable time was had by all and
in remembrance of her faithful
work for the society, the ladies
presented her with plain band
gold ring and set of gold dress
pins. WORDS cannot express the
surprise and happiness of Mrs.
Slattery but her happiness was
not alone as the donors had the
same feeling.

officers we're reelected for the en-
suing year, and if the schools are
conducted as smoothly the COM
ing wear as they have the past
year, and with the same corps Of
teachers there is no reason why
they shouldn't be, no complaint
can be made on the boards work.

LAID TO REST
Child Dies of Scarlet Fsver After q
Shert illness.

1t is with regret and sorrow that
we announce the death of Joseph
Thomas the four year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Nemacheck,
who passed to the great Beyond,
Wednesday afternoon at s O'Clock
after 4 short illness of scarlet few
er and complications. The little
fellow was the light Of the home,
and was loved by all who knew
him. But two short weeks ago
he was we'll and happy, the home
was bright and cheerful-to day
the shadow Of sadness and sorrow
now hangs ever that home, and
the Maker of all, has called anoth-
er one OF his flock to the field.
Two weeks ago the child was
taken i'll and was removed to the
home of his grandparents Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Persohn on Second ST.,
but with all the care and physi-
clans skill the dreaded illness
could not be stopped and the
messenger from unseen lands came
to claim the only son<as his own.
The loving parents. sisters and
other relatives besides a host OF
friends are left to mourn the pass
ing of one Of Gods children.
The funeral was held Thursday
afternoon, services at the grave
were conducsed by Rev. @. W.
Plnkney.
The parents and relatives have
the heartfelt sympathy of theiI
many friends in their sudden be;
reaVement.
When we see precious blossom
That we tended with such care,
Rudely taken from our bosom,
How our acking hearts despair.
Round it's little grave we linger,
Till the setting sun is low,
Feeling all our hopes have persisted
With the flower we cherished so.
We shall sleep, but not forever,
There will besa glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no never,
On the resurrection morn,

Where will the aerial navy Of the
United States rank in the days to
come when the great powers go to war
in the skies?
This question appears to have arous-
ed Uncle Sam from a nap which he
has fallen.
A congress of aeronauts met in New
York only the other day and heard
speeches from number Of men who
know something Of diplomacy, who
read the signs Of the times and who,
above all are patriots. These men
Rear Admiral c. N. Chester, u S. ~,
and General Allen, u. S. A., among the
number-sounded a note Of warning
which found immediate answer In a
recommendation to congress and which
has echoed through the country.
In word the speakers at the con
gress showed just how America had
failed to realize the significance Of
what her rivals we're doing with the
airship as an auxiliary to their naval
and military establishments, They
showed that Uncle Sam had dozed for
moment and that while his head
dropped on his bosom, a toy of yester-
day had become a powerful engine
which was destined to play an import
ant part In the history Of the future.
And they showed. too, that the
brains and hands which brought about
this development were English, French
and German, but not American.
America is used to leading, and
Americans are not comfortable in the
rear rank Of any procession, so it did
not take the convention Of aeronauts
long to pass a resolution urging upon
congress the Importance Of providing
funds for an aerial fleet. They cheered
loudly at statement of Gen. Allen,
who said that he thought Secretary
Taft would ask for 100000 at the next
session to maintain an aeronaut
branch OF the army.
So the matter will come right be-
fore congress, and while every effort
to increase the strength Of the naval
or military establishment Of the coun-
try raises more or less opposition, it
is believed that the national lawmak-
ers will not hesitate over a matter
which, advocates Of the plan argue. in
wolves the prestige of the nation. Sen
ators and representatives are to be
appealed to upon patrots1 grounds, and
the scream of the eagle will doubtless

But through It all, Uncle Sam seems
to have smmbered until the congress
Of aeronauts woke him up, by calling
for federal aid American inventors
have experimented with both kinds oE
alrships, most notably the Wright
brothers, whose aeroplane has per
formed some remarkable feats, but uR
to date the government has declined
to recognize the Importance Of federal
encouragement. Indeed it IS reported
from time to time that the Wrights are
negotiating with a foreign power for
the sale Of their invention.

THINKS ROCKEFELLER THE
GREATEST MAN I'm WORLD
Texan Is Erecting Monument to Oh King, Though the
Latter Still LiUes.

Persons whose minds cannot rise
above sordid things may envy John D.
Rockefeller his wealth.
Those whose ideals range along
the higher plane Of golf playing may
be jealous Of the oil kings skill on the
links.
But the seekers after undying fame
those who dream fondly Of leaving
behind them name for posterity to
bless-haVe just cause now to envy
the worlds richest man a unique dis
tinction which has been thrust upon
him.
For Mr.. Rockefeller's career has in
spired an amendment to world-old
tradition-the tradition which has to
do with perpetuating ia stone and
bronze the memory Of the earth's
great spirits.
Custom has decreed that monuments
shall be erected to men who have done
well enough in life to deserve recog-
milton In death, and the shades OF the
departed are supposed to be pleased
in a ghostly way at the tardy tribute.
But Mr.. Rockefeller need not wait
until he reaches the spirit land to en-
Joy this sensation. He is to have a
monument raised to his virtues while
he is yet alive, and he will be able to
stand before the statue which will
hand down his name to posterity and
realize something Of the impression
the memento viii make on future gen
erations.
True enough, he has raised costly
structures which stand to-day as mon
uments to his philanthropy But this
particular monument will be different
Mr. Rockefeller knows nothing Of It;
he was not consulted in the matter,
and the memorial will rise as a volun-
tary tribute from one Of his admirers
who believes IN deeds Of praise rather
than words
A. O. Lee Of Denton, Tex. Is the
man who Is erecting the Rockefeller
monument. Somebody asked him why,
the other day. and Mr.. Lee showed
plainly that his ideas on the subject
were emphatic and deeply rooted.
'Why?" he answered: why because

Washineton's Great Slab Artist Did

When young Johnson, Washington'a

Besides HIS firm conviction as to Mr..
Rockefeller's right to an ante-mortem

ideas about how the monument should
