In Memory of Linton Benson.

On Saturday morning, July 9. 1910
Just as the morning was radiant with
the beauties of the east, the Angel of
Death lowered around the bedside of
this darling boy, just in the prime of
young manhood, and removed from our
midst one of the lovliest charactersitha,
ever blessed community; and while
we mourn the sudden death of this
brilliant young boy, whose youthful
ness, if nothing else, caused us to
shrink from the merciless edge of
Deaths keen sickle, we. think, with
blended sorrow and gladness, of the
going home.
When looked upon his once illum-
med face, now cold in death, l had a
vision OF angels unfolding their wings
as beauteous mantle of love over him
and, in sweetest music, singing,
Asleep in Jesus" and the thought
occurred to me that the life he had lust
spent was as spotless as his white satin
pillow and the iessamine he held in
his hand.
His kindness of heart, his gentle
ness and anxiety to live right, and to
do right, was manifested in every at
OF his life, and his ever-smiling, Christ
IKE face will live after him in the long
years to come, when his body will have
passed back to ashes and his soul to
the God who gave it. The sun of his
life moved steadily across the sky un-
dimmed by any cloud, and lost none
OF its radiance even in the hour of it's
setting.
lie met death calmly and without
fear, secure in the knowledge of a life
we'll spent. He has entered his place
forever in the choir invisible. He has
passed from among us in the march of
that great procession that makes no
counter march.
L think Christ has been wonderfully
kind and gracious to let him beamong
us for little while. In the midst of
our prayers and praise we are desolate.
We feel in our souls the absence.
Bless those who, because of their closer
relation to him, feel the anguish more
deeply than others
The suddenness of the blow that has
fallen makes it impossible for us to
realize the extent of our loss. All |
can say in conclusion is, May we all
be as ready as | believe he was to meet
the Great Judge of all the earth, clad
by penitent faith in the righteousness
OF the dear Redeemer he loved so we'll.
ONE WHO LOVED HIM.

BROOKINS BREAKS
ALTITUDE RECORD
Re Attdns Height of 6,175
Feet In BipIane.

Walter Brookins, in a Wright BIZ
plane, broke the worlds altitude re-
cord at Atlantic City, N. j., when he
attained a height of 6,175 feet. He
used his last drop of gasoline at his
highest altitude and was still climb
ing when his engine missed explosion.
The daring aviator brought his ma
chine back to level to get the last
drop of fuel out of the storage tank
to reach the line of vision of engi-
neers on the beach.
Reaching the imaginary line, Brook
ms started to glide to earth, and his
engine stopped entirely when he was
az $500 feet and still over the ocean.
His circling glide to the beach, which
the crowd believed to be a bit of
fancy flying, was done to save him
self from diving into the sea.
Brookins was ready to collapse
when he reached the ground, and did
not tell Of his plight in the air until
midnight after he had partly re-
covered.
II is expected that the record will
stand without protest.
By his feat Brookins wins the IS 900
prize offered by the Atlantic City aero
club for breaking the worlds record
unless a higher altitude is reached
before the end Of the present meet.

The major asked him what the all

Somebody had told her. it turned

about it, so be had the coffin made.

1t Was Worse In tho Eighteenth Gen.

The tipping habit is bad enough now
adays, but in the eighteenth century it
was greater evil. than it is at the
present time. A writer in the Corn
lustrate the old condition Of things.
In Edinburgh in 1850 tipping became
such an evil that the Society of Clerks
enacted that all servants should be
forbidden to take tips and members
be forbidden to give them. This ex-
ample was followed by other clubs and
societies. Today there Is rule in
most clubs against feeling the servants.

LIVE Wire WAS
CAUSE OF death

son and his 6-year-old daughter were
electrocuted here tonight in the FROM
yard Of their home at Lakeside, a

The cause was live wire which
had been allowed to dangle from an
adjacent telephone pole to the Mel
