prostrated Saturday noon. II was four
years ago that he first discovered the
dangerous nature Of his trouble and was

with no weak repining and prepared BY
careful living to stay the disease and
make the most Of the short time re-
maining to him.
Turning bis attention to agricultural
pursuits, as conducive to an improved
condition OF health, he became a dealer
in poultry and farm machines and, thus
actively engaged, he seemed to find con-
tentment In the present and, undis-
iurbed, to look beyond the ever-threat-
sning cloud OF the future. Tuesday OF
last week, while handling apples, he
pulled the muscles from his right
shoulder in lifting barrel too heavy for
him to maEage alone aud, though the in
ury caused him good deal OF pain for
lay or two. Il Is not believed to have
contributed to his death unless, In his
weakened condition, the suffering il
'aused may have hastened the, final at
ack.
