COAL OF The BOY
A. R. Buffin Of Freeport Talks
to Club at the Y. M. G. A.
Sunday.
MANY OF YOUNG MISLED
Life's Work Should Be Determined
by Inclination Rather Than by
Advice of Family.

What was one of the best meetings
of the year was enjoyed by the Y. M.
C. A boys at the B. G. NJ. yesterday.
1t was the anniversary celebration,
marking the beginning Of new year
in the work of the club.
The musical program was given as
announced, and proved a most pleas
ant part of the program. The num-
bers by Messrs. Steaks, Taylor and
Weld were particularly well given. The
secretarys' report, given by Burtis
Wilson, showed that the So meetings
held by the B. @. NJ. during the year
have been attended by 2,190 boys, an
average of AZ a week, and that the
collections given by the boys had
amounted to a little more than S26,
or trifie more than so cents a week,
which money has gone to pay the ex-
penses incurred by the club.
The address Of the afternoon was
given by Boys Secretary A R Buffin
Of Freeport, who spoke on "The Goal"
MANY boys fail to reach their best
in life,'' said Mr.. Bufin, because they
are misled, perhaps by parents and
friends who advise them unwisely, or
perhaps by adverse circumstances, in
choosing a life work. A boys goal
in life should be determined by his
inclinations. know a man whose
father was a physician, and who was
made a physician himself in spite Of
his objections, because it was thought
that he must follow his fathers pro-
fession. This man had great ability
as a machinist and would have made
a fine mechanical engineer, but made
poor physician because he had no
liking for medicine. Thus the world
lost fine mechanical worker and gain
ed a poor doctor by tht mistake of the
boys father"
Useful In the Community.
The goal for the boys of the Y. NJ.
c. A was shown to be the work of
helping others. Mr.. Buffin pointed out
many ways in which such help can
be given and cited the examples of
boys whom he has known who have
been inspired to be helpful to other
boys through the association idea. He
outlined many methods by which boys
can be useful in the association and
the community, by keeping clean, be-
ing cheerfully helpful and unselfish,
and giving the best that Is In them
The address was one of inspiration
and was thoroughly enjoyed by the
large crowd of boys who heard it.
Mr.. Buffin has charge of a boys de-
partment in Freeport with more than
200 members, or twice as large as that
in Rock Island and he speaks from
abundant experience.
Following the regular meeting, the
officers and committeeman held q saz-

RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL g. DANGEROUS

Rheumatism is due to a diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
of uric acid in the circulation. 1t is
not only very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu-
ally forms a coating over the muscles,
and by depositing a cement-like sub
stance in the joints frequently termi-
mates fatally, or leaves its victim a
hopeless cripple. 1t is natural to
doctor " the spot that hurts, and IL is
quite right to use liniments, hot appli-
cations, etc, to get temporary relief
from painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not skin disease,
and such things, when depended on
alone make one careless. and the dis
ease gets a firmer hold on the blood.
S. S. S. cures the disease because it is
the greatest of all blood purifiers. 1t

Erastus Ris;ager Charged
With Killing Mitchell

Erastus Risinger, a young white
man Of Freedonia, was arrested and
lodged in jail Oh Monday by Consta-
bic George w. Asbill upon a warrant
sworn out before Magistrate Shealy
by James Ford, charging Risinger
with the killing Of Henry Mitchell, a
negro, at Freedonia, on the night of
Nav 5, last. A negro by the name of
Denley was also arrested as being an
accessory before and after the fact,
but was later released, the officers be-
ing satisfied that the negro was inno-
cent.
The arrest of Risinger was due to
the persistent efforts of Solicitor Tim
norman, who, upon being Informed
of the circumstances surrounding the
case, took the matter up with Cover
nor Ansel, who, in turn, dispatched
Detective Rowell to the scene. AS a
result of the work of Mr.. Rowell suffi-
cient evidence was secured to fasten
the killing on the white man.
E. L. Asbill, attorney for Risinger,
made motion for bail before Judge
Gary at once, which was granted, the
amount being fixed at $4,000.

Death Of Mrs. Geo. S. Drafts.

At half past two o'clock yesterday
afternoon, surrounded by loved ones
and friends, the gentle spirit of Mrs.
Emeline Drafts, the beloved wife of
the Hon. Geo. S. Drafts, judge Of pro-
bate, took it's fight and returned to
the God who gave it, as pure and as
spotless as when it first saw the light
Of day.
For several weeks she suffered,
bearing her affliction with that forti-
tude characteristic of the christian.
"God touched him with His finger,
and he slept" the poet wrote. SO
may we say of this dear life-"God
touched her with His finger, and she
slept" but not until beautiful life
was lived, noble example OF pa
tience, fidelity to truth and faith were
given. Not until visions of heaven
ly life, in Christ Jesus, had cheered
and illumined the valley of the shad-
ow. And now, that she sleeps, mem
ory takes up the harp Of life, and
shifting the strings, finds that her vir-
tues melt into music. So it ever ID,
when alife is nob1y and divinely lived.
Lite will never be quite the same to
those who knew her, while those who
were nearest to her will long for he1
with unutterable longines-long for g
mothers counsel and advice, and q
wife's gentle and loving sympathy.
She was q woman of strong christian
character; patient, loving and self
sacrificing.
Well may her children cherish bel
memory as a precious legacy and we
fain would say word of comfort to
the stricken ones we can but let oul
tears flow in sympathy with theirs,
and point them to the promise, "At
eventide it shall be light"
The deceased was about SO years o1
age and is survived by her husband
and the following children: DIR. Ar
drew B. Drafts, of Hendersonville
N. c., Mr.. Chas. H. Drafts, of Angus
ia, and Mrs. Lizzie Boozer and Mrs
Thos. P. Meetze, of Lexington. She
is also survived by one brother, Mr.
Levi Wheeler, of the Fork.
