In Loving Remembrance of
Wesley Jenkins,

God gives and God takes away and
on April a, 1905, He gave as preci-
GUS gift to Mr.. and Mrs. John Jen-
klns Wesley, and on Sunday, July
lS, 1909, He called with beckoning
hands, Come Home, Wesley" and
Just as the sun was shedding its last
beams, he laid his little head ON
Jesus breast, and went to sleep to
awaken in Heaven there to await the
coming OF papa, mamma and Ruth.
Wesley was the first to break the
family chain, but God in His own
time will call them one by one, and
link again in Heaven the chain He
has broken here. Sorrow not dear
ones for Wesley, though your home
is dark and your hearts sad and lone
ly since you hear no more his child
lsh prattle, and the patter of his little
feet, but think how much brighter
Heaven is for his presence there, for
our loss is Heavens gain. Only a
lew more years of weary waiting.
then there will be a glorious dawn
and Jesus will come in all His glory
to call you home to Wesley, where
there will be no tears nor heartaches,
and where we'll never say goodbye.
Look to Jesus dear parents, He and
he alone can heal your wound and
sive you comfort. S. L. j.

made him an object of sympathy to several of the
boys who had been looking forward with consider

was apparent when Joe Hooker came in on Monday
morning with swollen upper lip and his left eve

not undergone change for the worse. Every woman
admires hero. and in the opinion of most women a
hero IS a who is victorious. To only a few of
them does it matter how the hero's victories are
achieved.
Joe Hooker had however, committed an unpar-
donable blunder He had. much to the surprise of
all who witnessed the encounter fought desperately

Some Insurance Matters.

r. S. Norton of Portland, chairman
of the Somerset County committee of
the New England Exchange, has been
in town this week, leaving for home
vest erday noon. A part of his bust J.
ness here was to establish a rate for
the Municipal Building, the J. P.
Merrill block and other new struct-
ures. His recommendation will be
made to the committee at once and
the rates will be announced at an
early date.
Mr.. Norton also took the opportu-
nifty to look into general fire condi-
tions here, as he is required to do as
chairman of the Exchange Commit
tee. He notes that waste material is
not properly cared for in the business
section of the town, the condition be-
ing so serious in this regard as to call
for some action on his part. By his
direction notices will be at once mail
ed to all property holders in the re :
Gently established Skowhegan Fire
District, advising them that failure to
properly remove all ashes, paper,
straw and other infammable material,
will subject the property on such
neglected premises to an advance of
80 cents in the insurance rate. Mr..
Norton is to make another inspe ection
on May 10Th and changes in the rates
will be made at that time on premises
that are not in order by that date.
