The death OF Col Howe McAninch.

not heard from him for several years.
In less than one week the man came
back spent the night and the plot be-

Howe that he was the owner OF

The next day he and uncle Howe

one OF the directors of the National

bring along his gold brick when at
tending a meeting Of the board. He
would then tell over the story and he
enjoyed 1t as much as any of his hetr'

him many hundreds of dollars. When

He spoke no I'll OF any man.
The world with sweetness faced
The mantle fine of charity
