Be Increased by Addition of
100000 Men.

Washington.-In his farewell speech
to the house after service Of twenty
years in that body, Representative
Hull Of Iowa, chairman Of the COM
mittee on military affairs, urged upon
congress the necessity of supplement-
inc the regular army of this country
with an effective reserve force of
100000 trained men. Mr.. Hull said
he did not believe that war was i'm
minent, but that so long as war re-
NAMED a possibility 1t was criminal
negligence not to make proper prep
aration for It.
Mr.. Hull said that such force as
he proposed could be maintained for
$40, 100000 a year. It would be under
the control of the president, who
would designate the officers.

Protection of birds which do bene-
fetal service to men is coming to be
more than a matter for state action.
Representative Weeks of Massachu-
sets, a state which realizes the mis-
chief involved in the destruction of
the insect-eating birds, has intro
duced in congress a bill making il a
misdemeanor, punishable by 60 days
imprisonment or 5000 fine, to kill or
harm coveys or single specimens Of
birds on their migratory flight from
south to north The list of birds which
it is designed to guard includes geese,
ducks, pigeons, swans, snipe, doves,
robins, bluebirds and various kinds of
waterfowl. These are friends of man
or valuable game-birds, and as the
whole country is interested in their
preservation it seems to be in order
for congress to take action.

OBITUARY.
A Sketch of the Life, Death aid Burial
of Miss PeaPie Graham.

The subject OF this SKetch Is the
eldest child of Mr. and Mrs } M
Graham, whose home is near Cades.
Here Pearle was born and lived un-
der the care and guidance OF her de-
voted parents. She was never
frivolous child, always devoted to
home duties.
At the age of eleven years she
Joined Bethesda church, where she
was always useful, active member,
being organist from childhood up to
the time of her death; helping with
the Sunday-school and lending her
services in any way that offered for
the up-building of the church.
At the tender age of fourteen
years she was sent to Leesville COL
lege, where she spent one year and
returned the second term, but her
health failed and she had to come
home. Although a robust-looking
girl, Pearle was never very strong.
After remaining at home for two
wears she was again sent off to
school, where she spent two terms.
She was compelled to abandon the
idea of completing literary educa-
ton, so she determined to specialize
in music Vocal and instrumental)
and art, in which she seemed to be
especially talented.
| She was taking a course in these
studies at Columbia College when
she was seized with her last illness
and was brought home. Every hu-
man effort was made for her recov-
cry. Drs Williams and Courtney of
Lake City attended her daily, also
DR. Mcleod, of the Florence infirm-
ary. Two well-trained nurses stood
/! by her bedside administering to her
needs, and anxious friends and rela-
tives came and went; but Pearle
grew gradually weaker under the
burning heat of typhoid fever. The
Great Physician did not will that she
be restored to health.
Pearle was an exception among
young ladies. | was intimately asso-
ciated with her home life. She cared
nothing for the frivolities of society,
but chose rather to be useful in her
home church and neighborhood. Be-
ing the eldest child of fond and in
dulgent parents. still she was as sub
missive to their wishes as the young
est always cheerful and happy to
do what papa and mama de-
sired.
Her sweet, cheerful disposition
and friendly manner won for her
hosts of friends. Literally true, to
know her was to love her,
At the time of her death she was
president of the Ladies Home Mis-
sion society of Bethesda church.
Her heart was very much in this
work, where she had already done a
great deal of good, still, she felt
that a wide field of labor lay ahead
of her.
