IN MEMORIAM.

Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north
winds breath,
And stars to set--but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own
o, Death"
Again the white winged angel Death
las called from our midst dear aged
mother. Mrs. Ruth G. Moore, who for
long and weary months of slow de-
cline has been very patiently awaiting
a call from the Master, on Thursday
morning, December l, very peacefully
fell asleep to awaken In that bright
land where age and sickness are un-
known. In the home of her son. j,
Laforest Moore, where her last days
were passed, she was most tenderly
cared for and everything was done
for her comfort and happiness. One
son, j. l.. Moore, and three daugh-
ters, Mrs. Omena kidder of Winslow;
Mrs. Estelle Bean and Mrs. Addie F.
Williams of Canaan are left to mourn
the loss of devoted mother, while
several grandchildren and one sister,
Mrs. Samuel Given of Topsham, with
large circle of distant relatives
grieve that one they loved has passed
away, not lost but gone before.
Early in life she sought the Savior
and for many years has been a faith
full, consistent member of the MethO-
dist church, striving through long
years of widowhood, amid hardship
and toll to do her duty faithfully in
the many places she was called to fill
during her long life OF S6 years and
ten months. Today her children
deeply lament her loss but feel their
loss to be her infinite gain.
Funeral services were held Sunday
from the home, Rev. B. B. Merrill, Of
ficiating, assisted by the choir from
Clinton where large number of rela-
tives and friends met to pay their
last respects to one 80 well known
for many years. The floral offerings
| by the children and grandchildren
were many and very beautiful. Under
the supervision of Scott Lord, she was
tenderly laid to rest beside her hus-
band in the cemetery at the village.
ut is Gods way" Why should we
weep
When those we love have gone to
sleep.
Not dark the way nor long the road
II 1t but lead to home and God.
Then let us say whate'er may come
1T is Gods way. His will be done.

OBITUARY.
MRS. SARAH J. FOGG.

Mrs. Sarah ]. Fogg quietly passed
away at her home on Madison avenue
Dec. 8, 1910. She was the daughter
of Daniel Tilton and Lydia (Elkins)
and was born in Cornville, Feb. g.
1885.
Her youthful years were spent in
the house In which she was born un-
til her marriage in July, 1854, to
Samuel Fogg. She lived in Cornville
until nearly four years after the death
Of her husband, which occurred Dec
5, 1888. She then moved to Skowhe-
gan where she resided up to the time

She leaves to mourn their loss one
sister, Mrs. PAMELA Jewett, and sew
eral nieces and nephews.
She was a warm-hearted, amiable
woman, beloved by all who knew her
and will be mourned by large circle
of friends.
Tis hard to break the tender cords
When love has bound the heart
Tis hard SO hard to speak the words
Must we forever part?
Dearest loved one, we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
Till we see thy heavenly face.

G. o. AVER, Artist
Killed Horse for Deer,

A hunter who claims Hartlsnd as
his home had An experience the past
week which not only was an expen-
siye one but firmly implanted In hia
head the maxim: Look Before You
Shoot" Going out after deer one
day he put a blanket on his horse be-
fore he put on the harness 30 that
the animal would be sure and be
warm enough.
Arriving at likely place he tied
the horse and went into the woods.
He had not travelled long when he
struck an old road. Following this
for about q mile he saw In the dis
tance what he took to be q moose
standing in the road. Taking careful
aim he fred and was much pleased
to see the animal fall until he rushed
no and found he had killed his own
horse-and he had a good long walk
home.

and she il was who grasped the fact that in
such capital as London even talent would not
be recognized unless presenting fashionable ex-
terror" and caused him to take the large house
in Charles street. st. James Square. which was
his home from 1881 down 70 the time of his
death. in 1910. AS a yOungster he had labored
for but trifing rewards. In the memoirs of
Angelo. the fencing master. there is an aIIusion
TO his first portrait, one of an old lady, which
he painted for two guineas. and when he was
asked TO add an infant in the sitter's arms he
received only one guinea more. But in 1IS3.
year after his marriage. he sent 70 the Royal
Academy a portrait. possibly the portrait of his
wife. which made friends for him in the great
world Of London society. and thenceforth his
progress was steady and sure.
What manner of man was this newcomer in a
period crowded with brilliant personalities: He
must have had attractive traits, for there were
many of his contemporaries who held him in
warm regard Quarterly" Clifford was one of
his closest intimates. and from the souvenirs of
their friendship one may gather some sense of
the artists temperament. The two We're wont

His origin is obscure. There is a legend that
his father German. was a physician in the
household Of George n. and that the painter
Was natural son Of George III. and there is
some support for this in the fact that he and his
family were. for a time at least. generously be-
