Gompers insisted that the problems

American traditions and ideas that
Americans could ill-srare the time TO

And over it softly her warm ear lays;
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see It glisten );
Every ciod feels a, stir of might,
An instinct Within it that reaches and

And, grasping blindly above it for light
Climbs to soul in grass and flowers !;
The flush of life may we'll be seem
Thrilling back over fIifffs and valleys
The cow-slip startles m meadow green,
The buttercup catches the sun In its

And. there's never a leaf, nor blade too
To be some happy creatures palace;
The little bird sits, at his door in the

Atilt like a blossom among the leaves,
And lets his illumined being DER run
With the delugue of surarner 1t recures.
His mate feels the, eggs beneath her

Death, that bereaves us of our dear
est, also giyeth rest and opens the
gates of light to the mansions above
not made with hands, eternal i'll the
heavens.
Looking with fearful eyes upon the
kind face, as she lay in her last sleep,
memory went swiftly back over the
years and recalled what her life had
been, and what it meant to. others. De-
votion and self-sacrifioe might we'll be
inscribed os the creed by which she
lived.
Her life of service began in her girl
hood and extended through all the
years; and when her earthly pilgrimage
was ended, she entered into the rest
prepared for those that love God
In ministering to an invalid father,
she found her first work of DEVOTION
Then, as the beloved companion of an
only sister, she shared her responsible
ties; and, when she was called from
earth, took the motherfess, children to-
her heart, and made the home ever their
sure anchor of comfort and welcome
In this she did Gods service and was
happy.
Reaching out from the home circle,
her sympathy and love found the friend
and 'neighbor needing cheer and COM
fort, and as silently as the dew re-
freshes the earth, she entered into the
lives of others with the tenderness Of
one acquainted with sorrow
Retiring in her habit of life, gentle
and unassuming, she yet kept in touch
with the good work of the world. All
that was noble in the history of her
Southland she revered and held i'll.
highest honor the Confederate Veterans
organization and the Daughters of the
Confederacy, and encouraged their no.
BILE work of perpetuating the memories
of the South's heroic past.
Her life abounded in goodness For
years, almost an invalid, so frai1 was
her being, yet there was never COM
planning or repining, but a cheerful ac-
ceptance of her lot in life, sweetened
by little acts of kindness that helped
others along life's way.
In the realm of home she found her
only happiness An early and devoted
member of the Methodist Church, she
took comfort in its broad Christianity
and lived according to its teachings.
We can well believe that:
Laden with harvest spoils she entered
In at the golden gate of her rest,
Laid her sheaves at the feet of her Mas
ter
Took her place among the blest.

JUNIOR CIVIC LEAGUE ENTER
TANNED

Clearing skies Friday evening after
burst of summer rain, enabled Mrs.
Beattie and her Junior Civic League
boys to enjoy the pleasure of the car
ride extended by Superintendent Lev
inson, and the hospitality of the Peli-
can Chapter in the home of Mrs. John
Mccullough After the refreshing ride
around the city, Mrs. Beattie and the

Gullough, where a cordial welcome and
delightful refreshments awaited them.
A pure white banner, inscribed in red
letters, "Cleaner Shreveport, was
proudly borne by one of the members.
Complimentary yells were given the
Pelican Chapter and the Civic League.
It was indeed a good and hopeful
sign to hear the lusty young Threats
sing out:
shreveport east: Shreveport west;
Let us see which II do the best.
To do better than these manly boys
of West Shreveport means to be up
and working all the time.
In grateful appreciation of the in,
terest of the Pelican ladies the Chapter
was presented with beautiful basket
of flowers.
The splendid spirit Of the boys and
their devoted leader, Mrs. Beattie, has
been shown in their laudable effort to
do something for the good Of the town,
and this same spirit of not being deter
red by trifles brought them out Friday
evening, Indictment though it was, be-
cause Supt. LevinsUn and ttiheEPeiieaR
ladies had prepared for them.
Mrs. Beattie is herself valued mem
Der Of the Pelican Chapter and her work
with the boys is most highly regarded
by her sisters.
Assisting Mrs. Mccullough in enter
tanning were Mrs. VIII Kendall, Mrs.
