In MEMORIAM
Mrs. Fleming.


There came TO us soul so true,
So beautiful and bright;
And filled with sweetest Christian love.
With heavenly grace and light.
And she with whom this spirit dwelt,
Fran as the rarest rose,
Yet strong to conquer I'm His name,
And triumph DER His foes.
She came among us for His sake,
And strengthened from above,
Upheld the royal banner high,
Proclaiming Jesus love
With faith and trust I'm Christ, her Lord,
Led weary. wayward feet
10 paths of right. and told the way
Tn kindly spirit sweet
Her life. like glorious music,
In vibrant waves rolled on
To mlngle with the song Of saints
Around the great white throne.
And not the least among the tones
The Saviour loved 10 hear.
Were those last notes. (the work for usl
That fell upon his ear,
For scarcely was It ended.
When like an angel bright.
She sung her sweet song 20 its close,
And winged her way to light.
just as the morn was breaking,
This message gently given
To those who stood around. Goodbye
And last, ''Meet me in heaven"
o. we who dearly loved her. mourn,
Yet would not call again
Her spirit from a state so blessed,
And free from every pain.
But we must keep In mind the trust
She laid at Jesus feet
And when earth's pilgrimage is DER
With her, in heaven, Wen meet.

WISE WORDS.

A mans own faults never recon-
Gle him to anybody elses.
The wya a man cuts down his
flower bills for a girl is by marrying
her.
A girl likes to fool a man so she
can convince him she didn't.
Men wouldn't care so much for
even baseball If it were a family af-
fair,
Finance is making money for your
self out of other peoples.
When a man says he respects the
law what he means is he's afraid
Of 1t.
A boy can pick up some good habits
by their not being his fathers.
The kind of virtue that makes big
noise over itself can't stand much
more of test.
The acts OF the coolest people can
make the rest of us the hottest.
You can always tell by the way a
woman smiles that what you think it
means isn't it.
Intelligence is much more COM
Portable to live with than intellect.
A woman's greatest optimism is
thinking she can get the men of her
family into heaven.
Most people can be convinced more
easily with a club than with logic.
People don't get nearly so top
heavy from having brains as from
thinking they have them.
A woman can admire a man for his
virtues but love him for his faults.
A man thinks he's a devil of fell
low to have a prize fighter pointed
out to him in a street car.
A woman can even stop curling her
hair to hear how near a neighbours
family Is to being broken up.
There are few of us who wouldn't
rather win a lottery ticket than make
twice as much working for it.
A man would rather brag about
how well he can make his furnace
work than really have it do it.-From
Reflections of a Bachelor" in the
New York Press.

Could Do Better.

The lecture was on the economics
OF nature and showed that her great
destructive powers were used only
to transform the elements into other
channels.
ITO illustrate" said the professor,
there is in one of the Pacific islands
volcano which has for sixteen years
been pouring molten lava into the
ocean over a precipice 400 feet high
and eleven miles long. Eggs are
boiled in the open sea twenty-five
miles away"

pan and what a waste of fire and
water and fuss over a little plain
cookingl"--New York Times.
