Sunbeam Circle.

While young people are naturally
pleasure loving, not all of the fleet
winged hours are given to fun
They are sympathetic and want to
do something to make others happy.
and so with this thought the sun
beam Society was organized We'd
nesday afternoon at the home of Rec
Ge Blieux. The motto of the society
is: I'll be sunbeam for others
the coreOpsis is the club flower and
white and gold the colors. The Of
ticers of the club are as follows:
Jimmie Jones, president; Frank Lii
liam Swartz, secretary; Rec de
Blleux, treasurer. A very commend
able feature of the work planned is
the study of cookery-that import
ant branch of domestic science. The
meetings will be held weekly at the
homes of the members, on which
occasion dish of the hostess own
cooking will be served for the pur-
pose of acquiring skill and being
helpful to mother. Miss catherine
Meyer was appointed superintend-
ent of the serving and cooking de-
partment.

Even at Last.

The man who was crippled to save
save the life of Millionaire Russell
Sage years ago died a paupef only a
few days ago in the New York Home
for Incurables, says the Item.
Everybody remembers the case. A
crazed fellow named Norcross once
threw a bomb at Sage. Sage, who
clung to his precious life as ten
aciously as he clung to his equally
precious dimes and dollars, grabbed
a clerk named William R. Laidlaw
and thrust this innocent body be-
tween his own sacred person and
the crank'S bomb.
Laidlaw was so fearfully injured
that he remained a hopeless and
helpless cripple for the rest of his
life. Sage was saved.
Sage was not the man to reward
his enforced saviour. Laidlaw sued
him, and was awarded heavy dam
ages by'a lower court, but the New
York Court of Appeals, by one of
those decisions which have so en-
deared certain branches of the judi
ciary to the people, reversed the
lower court and decreed that, as the
act of Sage had been simply the in
stinctiVe impulse of a man in NOR
tai danger, he could not be held re-
sponsible for the damage he did to
this poor clerk.
LaidIaw spent the rest of Grip
ple's life charge upon public char
ity. Sage might have chosen, of his
free will, to help him, but Sage did
not choose.
Laidlaw died a pauper. Sage died
a multimillionaire. But death in the
end leveled them to equality. Sage
,ook no more boarded wealth out of
he world than the pauper LaidlaW
lid. They are even now.
But could not Laidlaw have been
helped by Sage's widow? OF what
lse is boarded wealth?

Personal Mention.

The many friends of Mr.. George
Mills will be glad to know that no
serious symptoms have developed
from the accident he suffered last

of relapse. With a big, kind heart,
always ready to give pleasuse to
others, and never willing to distress
any one, the news of his friends
tragic death will be deep grief to

The Death of Richard w. Davis.

The entire community was deeply
shocked at the death of Richard w.
Davis Monday afternoon. He was a
young man universally esteemed for
the real golden qualities he pos
sessed, the gentle consideration and
tender thoughtfulness of others. In
intellect he was genius without
special training, he had worked out
the problems of mechanics in sew
|eral lines, and at the time of his
death he had under construction
five residences, among them the
homes of Mr.. Will Young and Mr.. L.
C. Campbell. The planning and con-
struction of the handsome home of
Mr.. r. N. McKellar on Oakland
street was his work. Young and gift
ed what reaches of attainment even
before hint
Buoyant in nature he found joy
in life and the exhilaration Of mo-
ton. Last May he was married. To
the little bride-wife these are depths
of gloom and grief beyond which
she can not now see, and sorrow I'M
speakable to the devoted mother
and brothers.
Funeral services were held We'd
nesday afternoon at the home of his
mother, Mrs. Kate Davis Armstrong
en- Topeka street, attended by sor-
rowing relatives and friends. The
services were conducted by the Rev.
Claude L. Jones and Rev. Hamilton
Singleton; tears fell freely in sor-
row for the departed and in sym
pathy for the living.
Beautiful floral tributes were laid
upon the casket. The interment att
Greenwood cemetery was largely at
tended.
Richard w Davis leaves a loving
memory in the hearts ofshis friends.
The deepest sympathy is extended
the bereaved family.

The good that men do lives after
after them-and the most lasting
monuments are not the costly mar
bic, but the deeds done to make the
world better. Death, that great mys-
terry, makes clear the purpose OF
many misunderstood lives.
John w. Gates, the great Ameri-
can financier, who died this month
in Paris, will be remembered best
for his noble benefactions and not
for the fact that he was a multi
millionaire. When generations have
passed out and all knowledge of his
personality obliterated-the Many
Gates" hospital built by his devoted
son will still stand overlooking Sab
inc Lake, and the destitute sick will
continue to come into its sheltering
walls and find comfort. 1t is the
greatest monument that love could
build, and John w. Gates has writ
ten his name not on the sands Of the
sea, to be washed away by fretted
waves, but on the hearts of the peo-
PIE OF Port Arthur amongst whom
he cast his fortunes fifteen years
ago.
A recent sketch Of this remark
able man describes him in these
graphic lines: But studied in his
of relaxation at his win
ter home at Port Arthur, when the
great commercial tension was off,
he presented what might be almost
called destiny gone astray' Surely
destiny intended this man for an
leader of cavalry, swing
ing legion of cuirassiers into a
roaring hell of musketry. One could
associate his quick, decisive and
final word of command to his lieu
tenants of peace only with quick,
decisive and final word of command
10 lieutenants of war. Even in an
era of peace diverted destiny made i
/ soldier of commerce out of him
instead of soldier of Mars.
Throughout his ''sloth of gold''
an the threads of kindness, charity
md good will to men. Port Arthur
people loved him next to their God.
Whatever may have been his tac-
les in Wall street, those affairs
we're battles of lions and can have
10 part in an analysis of the mans
'entler side in his winter home at
'ort Arthur. He was a wonderful
nan. Wonderful in more ways than
ne, an enigma that even the Sphinx
night not solve, a composition Of
eOnine daring and fawnlike ten
erness. Surely destiny went astray
1hen this man was born in an era
f peace"

1t is not question of how much
profit Aswell made in royalties off

the people of this state were forced

have children they are striving to

There is rapture in the woodland
And magic in the stream,
There is beauty in the heavens
Like visions of a dream.
There is glamour in the green,
The tender shooting of the spring,
And each corner Of the earth
With sweet melody doth ring,
There is gladness in the treetops,
And the flowers know full we'll,
That God has wakened nature,
Bidding her new life to tell.
So my heart does then rejoice
Forgetting all the cares it knew;
And in solitude my soul
Doth climb to holiness most true.
