News was received here early this
week Of the tragic death of John j.
Flach of 2715 California street, which
occurred near Buffalo, N. Y, on Sun
day, November 2S. Mr.. Flach left Den
yer on Friday for his former home in
Syracuse to visit his aged mother,
whom he had not seen for nine years.
Just after leaving Buffalo Mr.. Flach
started from the Pullman to the diner,
and as he was crossing the plotform the
coupling broke, the cars separated and
he was thrown to the tacks, where the
wheels of the diner passed over him,
causing instant death. The body was
taken aboard the train and carried to
Syracuse, where the mother two sis
ters and brother were waiting in hap
py expectancy, without a suspicion of
the awful tragedy. Mr.. Flach was born
in Syracuse in 1867, and for the past
nineteen years made his home in Den
yer. He was devout Catholic and
noted for his great charity. In 1900 he
became treasurer of the William Scott
Lee Investment company, in which po-
sition he continued up to the timesof
leaving Denver. The widow and only
child, John J.. Flach, jr., left imme-
diately for Syracuse upon receipt of the
sad news.

To Be Content.

To be content with what we have
Forms most of the joy of life:
A heart of envy paves the way
To trouble, and sorrow and strife.
The lust for gain is as poor thing
AS the human breast can hold;
And often we bruise a tender heart
In our onward rush for gold.
To be content, though our means are
small
The secret of life is there;
And happiness dwells in the homes oil
such.
And peace beyond compare.
Money is well enough to have,
But it's not the best, by far;
And often it leads, a beckoning lure,
Way off from the Gates Ajar.

The Came Of Life.

Life is a game of whist. From unseen
sources
The cards are shuffled and the hands
are dealt.
Blind are our efforts to control the
forces
That, though unseen, are no less
strongly felt.
I do not like the way the cards are
shuffled,
But yet 1 like the game and want to
play,
And through the long, long night will
I, unruffled,
Play what 1 get until the break of
day.

Commonplace life, we say, and we

sigh;
But why should we sigh as we say:
The commonplace sun i'll the common
place sky
Makes up the commonplace day.
The moon and the stars are common
place things,
The flower that blooms and the bird
that sings;
But sad were the world, and dark our
lot,
If flowers failed and the sun shone
not,
And God, who sees each separate soul
Out of commonplace lives makes His
beautiful whole"

The hearts of hundreds of friends
were saddened last week by the news
of the death of Mrs. Nora O'Brien
Lang, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
E. O'Brien, pioneer residents of the ca
thedral parish. Mrs. Lang had been in
failing health for some time, yet death
came when the young woman gave
every indication of returning strength
and while she was enjoying a visit at
the home of her sister, Mrs. Martin E.
Rowley. at Pueblo, Colo. Mrs. Lang
was born in Denver and was gradual
ed from Immaculate Conception high
school in the class of '03. From earliest
childhood she had been distinguished by
a gentle demeanor and a charity that
extended to the weakest and loWiieSt.
Her sweetly sympathetic nature found
it's greatest happiness in deeds of kind
ness. even when the icy hand of death
stretched out toward her Accompa-
MED by her mother, Mrs. j. Z. O'Brien,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Z. RoWley and
children, Mrs. Lang's body was brought
to Denver on Wednesday and was at
the family home, 1904 Pennsylvania
avenue, until Friday, November 26,
when the funeral took place from Lo-
gan Avenue chapel. Requiem mass
was read by Rev. NJ. w. Donovan of st.
Patrick's, an old family friend. Father
Donovan also preached the sermon,
dwelling touchingly upon the beautiful
life he had watched unfold from a joy
Gus and happy childhood to full and
perfect womanhood. Miss Bessie Nc
Govern presided at the organ, and
hymns appropriate to the sad occasion
were sung by Miss Helen McGovern
whose magnificent voice was never
heard to greater advantage, for it rang
with the pathos of an intense grief
the loss of her lifelong friend and daily
companion. Burial was in Fairmount
cemetery, service at the grave being
conducted by Rev. Father Donovan.
Mrs. Lang was a member OF the Queens
Daughters and other girl societies, all
Of which were represented at the fu-
