months and nine days.

made q brave fight for life, but
all that physicians and loving
hands could do could not stay

especially so to his baby brother.
He was his mothers comfort.
She has often been heard to speak
OF him as her good boy, always
ready to help her in the care
of the younger children. All
through his sickness his whole
thought was for her and t h 9
younger members of the family.
. He was ever hopeful that he
would be restored, but when he
realized that death was near, he
asked his father to kneel close by
his bedside and pray for him.
lie then expressed a willingness
to 60, saying he knew Jesus
would saye him. Although he
had not been able to ospeak above
a whisperfor two or three months
he called each one of the family
to him, put his arms around
them and thanked them for their
Kindness, and told them to live
right and meet him in heaven.
While there was much weeping
around him, Oscar was undis'
turhed. He talked as calmly as II
he were just going off on a visit
When he had spoken to each one
he asked for song after song, and
while we sang the old hymns, he
seemed to 60 into a peaceful
sleep, as though a heavenly calm
were thrown around him. Alter

seemed just to be waiting, A lit

his grandmother he wanted tC

Oscar had many friends W h c
loved him as a brother, and he
h IS left many sad hearts in
the community and other places
where be has lived. This fact was
plainly shown by the large mum
ber who gathered to pay a last
tribute Of respect to him where
we laid him to rest, and by the
many flowers that were placed
upon his grave.

pass the three billion bushel
mark; the worked out estimate
being for 3,161 100000 bushels.
If the promise OF the presentstat
us OF the corn crop of the coun-
try is realized it will mean a yield
greater by 100000 bushels thnn
the total product in the United
States of any previous year. 1t
will mean thatabout 1 100000
600 bushels OF coarse grain will
be available for export, which
will effect the balance of trade in
favor OF this country to the ex.
tent OF $500, 100000. It means
also, that Baltimore port, which
is the leading corn export port,
will be doing something within
the next twelve months in the
