Obituary.

Dead five years but not forgotten.
In sad but loving remembrance OF
my dear daughter, Louie Pitcher.
Alas, how changed that lonely form,
That lived to cheer my heart,
Fain feeting comfort of few years,
Then soon we were called TO part.
And shall nay bleeding heart srraign
That God whose ways are love,
Ga vainly cherished bitter pain,
For her who rests above.
No, let me rather humbly pray,
Obedience TO his will
And In my Utmost spirit say,
The Lord 10 righteous still.
From adverse blast and lowering
storm
Her gentle soul he hove,
And with yon bright angelic forms,
She lives to die no more.
A few years and months and I will
join her.
By her aged Mother.

often heard the lead whistling about
bis ears. jim continued to pick cher
RES and soon there was another shot
and another. Several times did the
shot rattle around him through the
tree but Jim held the fort and when he
retired did so in coed order and carried
his commIssary with him. The next
day he swore out warrant and the
sable daughter arrested, brought to
town and landed in the county Jail
When brought before Squire Felksr

That is the question that is agltsting
the republicans more than anything

President Tart Is determined tnat
his plans for economizing in the gov.

ing a veritable watchdog of the treas
ury" TO effect real saving In the vari.
Gus departments.
The president informed his cabinet
officers. after scrutinizing the final
draft OF the estimates of the various
government departments for the fiscal
year beginning July /. 1911. that there
must be a further and deeper cut In
them They would not do in their pres.
ent form, he told his ministers EN-.
phatically.
In response to the urgent demands
OF the president, the heads OF the vari.
Gus departments already had held their
estimates down TO what they consider
ed rock bottom figures. But the presl
dent pointed out a number of places
where he declared the pruning knife
could be used to advantage.
The president started last year the
policy of giving personal attention to
the estimated expenditures of the gov
eminent, declaring that the best way
TO wipe out the deficiency in the treas
ury was to reduce the outgo OF public
funds. He believes he made consider
able Roadway In holding down expen
ditures for the current year. but hopes
to make a still greater stride toward
economy in 1911.
That he might take up departmental
estimates. the president ordered a
postponement of the regular cabinet
session. He hopes to be able to sub

consideration.

The grounds given for condemninS
