In Memory.

Oscar Ross was born June 1th. 1886
and died Sept. 18th. 1903. He professed
faith in Christ in 1901 He was 20
years months and days old, and
had lived strait. quiet life and was
loved by many friends. Mr.. Ross was
humble and endured his sickness very
patiently, at times through his sick
ness he would seem to be shouting
and happy in his dying moment When
he was passing through the dark and
chilly waters of death he raised his
hands to God and smiled, and died
away in the heavenly land, no more to
take the parting land
He has crossed the trouble river,
He has crossed the mystic sea,
He has gone before to Heaven,
To prepare a place for me.
Some bright morn Wen meet him
Over on the peaceful shore,
Where we shall live together,
And parting will be DER.
We long TO meet you, oh. my brother
Your face We long to see.
1t wont be long dear brother"
Till We will meet with thee.
Sometimes | think that can see
The blissful thr6ne that sits for thee
Sometimes think that can hear
His clear sweet voice from Heaven
here.
Since Oscar has gone and left us here,
No more the troubles, he can share;
His tolls are past, his work is done.
He fought the fight; the victory won
Weep not, dear father. God thought it
best
To take him home, where he could
rest.
Now let your cares on Christ be cast,
That you may dwell with him, at
last
Weep not. dear mother, his orb will
rise
Once more a star OF Paradise;
His spirit smiles from that bright
shore
And softly whispers; Weep No More,
1t deeply pains a sisters heart,
When from her brother. she has TO
part;
But sleep. alas! thy sleep shall be,
Thy rest, thy strenth, thy victory.

Skinny Boys and Chunky Girls.

In referring to a thin boy 1t is all
right to call him skinny" but You
must call thin girl "spirituelle." 1t
means the same, but sounds better.
Never call any one but a boy 'puny."
"puny" girl should be called frag-
lle." 1t sounds more like delicate
china. and all OF that sex like to be
compared to fine Dresden. A chunky"
boy is all right. but a girl has a fine
ly rounded figure, A boy is ''gawky,"
but girl displays 'untutored grace"
