dumb animals. Many in the audience
meditated over the possibility of a
serious accident to the Girl in Red.
A sweetfaced young woman climbs to
the top of the platform and kisses her
hand to the audience; the next
moment the big bay horse climbs to
the top of the platform and stands
beside the girl. She mounts and
twists her fingers in the horses name,
She sits astride the horse. forty feet
up in the air without saddle or bride,
nothing to hold on to but name She
rides theNhorse bareback and nothing
stands between her and serious acct
dent and perhaps death, but the in
telligence of the we'll trained horse
and her great ability as horse
woman. The horse awaits the signal
to go and then dashes over the plat
form plunging into the water head
first. Seconds of breathless silence,
the audience sits as still as death,
until the horse appears swimming and
on his back the smiling white face of
the Girl in Red. Then reaction takes
place and the audience simply makes
the earth ring with their cheers and
congratulations.
"The Carver entertainment is a
sensational novelty, filled with
startling and beautiful situations. y"

Obituary-Bernice Burris.

Miss Bernice Burris, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs M. " Burris after a
brief illness passed peacefully into
the spirit realm on April goth.
Beloved by all who knew her, her life
was like that of tender flower, At
the early age of 18 she graduated
from the Lancaster high school. She
had higher educational ambitious
her special talent being music but on
account of fragile constitution she
was not strong enough to pursue her
studies further.
Even at the age of 90 she was i'm
bued with an abiding trust in G
and the peace of the life everlasting.
In passing along life's highway
she took the shorter course which
reaches from life to eternity and
entered the silent portals beyond
which there is neither grief or sor-
row, nor pain, or suffering

o. grave where is thy victory.

hands and tender hearts of mother.
father, sisters, brothers is called
home to the arms CT Jesus.
"She heard the voice of Jesus say;
Come unto me and rest:
Lay down thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon my breast.
The severing of the earthly ties
which bound her young life to our
hearts was like the breaking of a
beautiful vase "You may break
you may shatter the vase if you will
but the scent of the roses will cling
round it still.
SAFELY. safely gathered in,
Far from sorrow far from sin,
No more childish griefs or fears
No more sadness, no more tears;
For life so young and fair
Now hath passed from earthly care.
God himself the the soul will keep,
Giving his beloved sleep.
Safely, safely gathered in,
Far from sorrow lar from SIM
Passed beyond all grief and pain,
Death for thee is tru- st gain;
For our loss we may not weep,
Nor our loved ones long to keep
From the home of rest and Ieace,
Where al sin and sorrow cease.
Safely, safely gathered in,
Far from sorrow far from sin;
God has saved from weary strife,
n its dawn, this fresh young life;
Now ii waits for US above,
Rest ng in our SaviOr'S love;
Jesus, grant that we may meet,
There adoring, at Thy feet.

HEALTH OF BADGERS.
National Report Shows Milwaukee Is
Sixth in List of Cities.

National Report Shows Milwaukee is
Sixth in List of Cities.
A dispatch from Washington an
nounces that Wisconsin is almost in
first place in public health, according
to vital statistics kept by the registra-
ton states in the Union. The gov
eminent record for 1905 which has
just been compiled, shows that the
death rate for the Badger state is II. 6
in 1000. which is Lhe lowest rate
except that of South Dakota. which
shows 10. 1 in ] 900. South Dakota s
statistics are not completed, however,
and thus Wisconsin is given the lead
by the authorities. California shows
10 5, the highest recorded. Among
the cities. Milwaukee takes sixth
place, with Denver showing the high
est rate, %. 6 in l. 900
The reason for Wisconsin's enviable
place in the list of reports is said by
A. b. Cargill, secretary of the Mil
waukee board of health, to be largely
due to the efficiency of the health
officers all over the state in control
1ing epldemics and treating contagi-
Gus diseases.
The state board" Mr.. Cargill
says, ''has given the health officers in
the villages. towns and cities far
greater power than they have in most
states, the result being that condi-
tions are regulated according to the
discretion of the officers in the field. +"
