friends of the family and theiidol of his
parents. The funeral took place this
morning from the residence of his
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. T. S. Cot

had been during his Illness. The SER

him national fame and brought to his
state wealth to fabulous degree.
Just what kind of a man this genius
is, is told by Forrest Crissey in Nun
sey's for November:
Although a profoundly serious
man, this master of eight hundred
thousand acres in the Land of the
Mesquit has his sports on a scale pro-
portionate with his responsibilities.
If you are his guest he will drive you
across a few thousand acres OF his
domain and land you on the white
sands of the Gulf, where he has a
seaside resort of his own There is
always waiting for him the steam
yacht on the deck of which he finds
his most absorbing diversion. But,
after all, it is probable that Mr.. Ken
nedy really finds his keenest pleasure
in working to transform his principal
ity of raw range land into farms of
the most modern and productive
type"

The Roses heart is heavy with desire,
And all her little leaves are tipped
with fame,
But she is shy and full of tepder
shame,
And red with bushes for the rapturous
Her fond dreams of the Nightingale
inspire;
For all the garden knows her secret
aim, -.
By the perfume in which she
breathes his name
And the bride beauty of her soft
attire.
Oh when you find her, Nightingale,

Some time between the twilight and
the morn,
n Your joy will make the listening lilies
~ glow;
And you who in the dusk were 50
forlorn,
In ecstasy of love will tremble so
You will fall fanrng on the cruel
thorn,
