Throughout his service Chief JUS.
tice Fuller was noted for the dignity
with which he filled the position. He

about ninety inches and trees grow
to large size; in the central plateau.
the precipitation is less than fifteen
inches. including the melted snow.
and the average size Of timber is
small; while on the arctic slope, north
OF Rocky mountains, climatic condi-
tons make forest growth altogether
impossible, and those vast tundras are
covered chiefly with moss, sedges and
a few small shrubs.

Probably everybody has expert
enced the displeasure, if not actual
pain, which comes from missing a

this If one happens to be out Of doors

Just glance at the sun. There is some
thing about the brightness Of it that
supplies the missing irritation. or
whatever 1t is that is needed, and nine
times out of ten If the sneeze has not
got too far away 1t will come back.

TO THE PARENTS or THE
LATE WIN. JOSEPH WEAVER

This poem was written for the afilic-
ted, bereaved and incOnsOlable parents
of William Joseph Weaver, Of Orange
county, Va. born Dec. II, 1883. died
Nov. 8, 1909, by sympathizing friend,
James Avis BARLEY.
Our sole born offspring, dearest boon
Bestowed by reigning heaven,
0mniscience required him soon,
Affections bosoms riven.
As the fair flowers hues decay,
Ere yet these blow in pride,
And as the beams Of rising day
Their brightness are denied.
And as the throtle's song asscends,
While dawn the day begins,
But suddenly the music ends,
Mute silence mastery wins.
Our pre- cious darling, smote by doom,
Left hearts bereaved and sad,
Which lot the springs returning bloom
With gleeful songs can glad.
A soul sincere, aspiring mind
To truth, to nature true,
Its quick emotions uncontined,
The path to bliss he drew.
Yet called before his manly prime,
Rent bosoms bleeding sore,
Deep pondering his shortened time
Later their loss deplore.
We dreamed he living might remain
Our bodies TO compose,
Passed all delights of earth and pain,
To take their last repose.
Alas the child the parents leads
The long and lonely road.
While time no more his passage speeds
Pressed by a sinking load.
The midday loses half its light
That erst its youth gave, .
Falls doubly dark, the black-wing d
night.
Ger Willy Weaver's grave.
Mortals, submit to sovereign will,
Almighty's acts approve,
o, bear your untold sorrows still,
Reunion waits above.
