Little Ruby was a bright, cheer
full little girl and those who knew
her hest loved her most,
She was born Oct. 81 1902, and
the Master seeing that he needed a
lovely young bud, with which to a
dorm the garden above, called her to
come up higher, and dwell in land
where all is joy and peace, and
where there is no parting.
She had been i'll a few days, but
was better till Monday night she be-
gan having conYulsions.
The Doctor was called early Tues
day morning and pronounced it Lock
Jaw.
All was done that medical skill
could devise, but it could not be
reached.
A short time before she died she
called all the family around the bed
and kissed them good hyv, and told
them 81 am going home" "
She leaves a mother, father, two
sisters four brothers, grandmother
and host OF friends to mourn her
less,
She was inferred in Hickory Grove
Cemetry near Madlsnn.
Let us not grieve as those that
have no hope, and say, "Our loved
ones death was untimely," hut ra-
ther say, BLESSED, Glorided, Sane
titled. Little Ruby has entered into
the Joys of her Lord, leaving the
memory Of her pure young lie as 6
sweet fragrance in the hearts of heI

Willie Burton, son of Mr.. and Mrs,
c. Fl. Burton was born Sept. 18th
1900, died Feb. 18th 1909, Aged 8
years, 4 months 29 days.
Willie was a delicate child from
his birth, never knowing what it was
to enjoy good health, but through
all bis AFFECTIONS he was never heard
to mcrmur or complain. He loved
the Sunday School, and always gave
careful attention to the instructions
given by his teacher.
Just before the spirit left the ten.

to him and speaking to her said, Il
am dying! 1 can't see" and almost
instantly his spirit took its flight to
God who gave it.
Little Willie leavas step-tather

friends TO mourn his loss. May the
words OF the Psalmist David be their
consolation in this sad berivement.
"Now he is dead wherefore should

LARGE GATHERING OF
men AT OPERA HOUSE TO
HEAR LECTURE OF BAILEY
]. p Bailey, of Omaha, Delivered His
Wonderful Lecture On CORDS
That Bind" Special

1t was a masterful address and was
listened to with the utmost interest
by a magnificent outpouring of men
interested in those matters and move
ments that uplift and dignity their
kind. The subject OF Mr.. Bailey's dis
course was Cords that Bind" and
for two hours he held his auditors
and philosophy. At the close of his
lecture Mr.. Bailey asked If there was
anybody present that was bound to
sinful habits by any of the cords he
had described and desired release
from the bondage. Fifteen or twenty
hands went up in various parts of the
audience and petition was made for
Divine help in breaking way from the
thralldom that threatened to wreck
their lives. 1t was one of the most
powerful and effective lay sermons
ever heard here and it is a matter OF
regret that IT could not have been
heard by every young man in the
community.
Mr.. Bailey's address inaugurated
the fall campaign of the local Y. N.
C. A. which hopes to be able to do
more aggressive and effective work
during the coming winter than ever
before in its history. Tomorrow even
ing a Bible study luncheon will be
held at the association rooms at
which DIR. T. B. Neely of Colorado
Springs will be the chief speaker.

the builders of empires and moulders
of nations who had taken the Old
Book as their guide. He spoke of
the great numbers o. young men in

and the growing popularity OF the
Book OF Books among men.
His reasoning was logical, his
thought profound. and his exhorta-

pleaded in an impassioned manner for
men to give consideration to the study
of the greatest book OF all literature.

else could do how much OF the general
prosperity impinged on the fruit

been some dissatisfaction among the
ranchers on Monday with the distri-
button of the help prvided by the Mer-

evitable from the nature of the ext
gency that called them into service.
1t was impossible for the association
to make an absolutely equitable divis-
ion of the labor at its command, but
it did the best 1t could under the cir
cumstances. Many of the volunteers
had special friends among the fruit
growers and they naturally gave
them the preference in selecting an
orchard in which to work Now that
the rush is over and the end of the
harvesting period is in sight the mer-
chants can look back upon what has
