song WRITTEN BY
F. ]. THOMPSON
SENTIMENT OF "GlVE NE THE
ROSES WHILE LIVING" SHOWS
SPIRIT OF KINDLY MAN WHO
! HAS PASSED TO HIS REWARD
WROTE WORDS AND MUSIC.

The song, published below, was
written and set to music by the late
Frank ]. Thompson. Mr.. Thompson
left the request that this song be sung
at his funeral, but owing to the fact
that it had not been set to music that
could be used on the organ this was
impossible.
The sentiment expressed shows the
spirit of the kindly man whose philo-
sophy of life was exactly that express
ed by the words.
Give Me the Rose WhiIeeLivins.
The silent feet, the roses rare,
The heavy perfume on the air;
What needs the heart that beats no
more,
The show of love when life is DER?
The Joy we bring let's bring today,
And not the morrow's silent way;
Why give in life the thorns to bear
And wait till death for roses rare? :
The heart that feels the trembling tear,
The startled soul awake in fear.
Doth need the love we wait to bring
When sorrow needs no Offering
Let's give our music, song for; song,
While hearts may know the touch Of
wrong
Wait not till sleep has soothed the care
For love to bring his roses rare.

throng
Somewhere from the soul of 1t all

What is the heart If it sings not?
What Is the soul IL, 1T clings not?
What is this life but hunger,
Waiting for love asleep.
Give me the roses while living,
Not in the signs Of your grieving,
Not in a. touch of slumber,
Not with the eyes that weep.
Give me the sunlight 'afalling,
Voices in tenderness calling, 80
Love by it's mystic number
Waken his watch to keep.

RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY AND
RESPECT FOR DECEASED MEN,
Der PASSED BY THE cAss
COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION AT
SPECIAL MEETING SUNDAY.

At a special meeting of the Cass
County Bar association held Saturday
afternoon the following resolutions
were passed:
From the silence of the unknown, a
call came. and he who heard the voice
laid down the duties of earth, and went
hence. and times fingers dropped upon
the dial. and il was 9:40 a. M. Friday
Feb. rs 1910, and Frank j. Thompson
was dead.
He was admitted TO practice law in
this county July Is, 1873, and has ever
since resided in this city. During all
these years. no act was, his that was
not honorable; no word was his that
bore flavor of dishonesty; no hour was
his that no kind thought came for those
whom his ge, crosby had assisted: no
day was his that substituted the word
for the. spirit of right and Justice;
therefore, ~
We of the Cass County Bar associa-
ton of which he was a member. as
sembled in the name of this kind and
just man, do hereby in the very Ian
guage which he lately wrote upon the
death of a friend, express regret at
his taking off and extend our sympa-
thies TO his family for the loss of hus
band and father, to the community for
the departure of so good a citizen and
to the profession for the loss of one
who never sullied its name.

FRANK ]. THOMPSON LAID TO

Remains Of Lamented Fargo Citizen--Many
Here From Out Of Town

In the presence of what IS believed
to have been the largest congregation
ever gathered together at a funeral
service in Fargo the mortal remains
Of Frank Jerrard Thompson were laid
to their last long rest yesterday after
noon. There we're Masonic friends in
attendance from every part of North
Dakota and several were here from
other states.
From Saturday at noon until yes
terday afternoon at 3 o'clock the body
of Fargo's lamented citizen lay in state
i'm the Masonic temple and thousands
of citizens, from grey-haired men to
the little children who had loved the
kindly man, passed around the Casket
for last look at the face of him they
mourned
During all the time the body was at
the temple a guard of knights Templar
were on duty in full regalia. At
o'clock to the strains of Claren's Cele-
brated Andante on the great organ,
the casket was borne into the auditor
ium, where the great throng of Ma
sons, knights of Pythias A. o. u. w.
and citizens had gathered to pay a
last tribute of respect.

The funeral grafton was given by
President ]. H. Worst of the A. c.,
and his words were a solace and COM
fort to those left behind.
He was man of genial disposition
and of a magnetic nature" said Mr..
Worst, "a man who made friends cas-
lily and who therefore attracted a wide
circle of friends. His characteristic
aim in life was shown by the fact that
in the later years of his life he labored
necessarily to build up an institution
that would bring his fellow men into
closer bonds of fellowship.

Frank Thompson was man who
made good Every obligation was dis
charged with intelligence and fidelity.
As member of the school board. as a
legislator, as a public librarian, he has
left an impress that will live long after
he has gone. His work on behalf of
education in Fargo will bear fruit for
many years to come, his work in our
state legislature has left an imprint
for good on our statues that can never
be effaced.
He has gone from US and who shall
say TO what shore. We can take cour-
age in the inspired word which said,
Lay not up for yourselves treasure on
earth where moth and rust corrupt,
and where thieves break through and
steal, but rather lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven where neither
moth nor rust doth corrupt and where
thieves do not break through to steal
There is a natural hand which goes
beyond the inspired pen. The savage,
untutored mother, while she mourns
for her dead child, looks forward with
certainty to meeting that child again.
There is writing which says, Our
longing for immortality proves it,"
Following the funeral grafton Paul
Bruce and Mrs. E. r. Wright sang

Heart, and as the beautiful words fill

scarcely dry eye present.
