In 1903 with his parents, he moved
to New Sharon, where he lived until
his death, July 10, at a m, at the
age of 35 years, months and 10 days.
He was married to Mrs. Lizzie Hol-
try, March 18th, 1911. He leaves to
mourn his untimely departure his
wife, his aged father, one brother and
three sisters. He was kind and af-
fectionate husband and a dutiful son.
He had planned for the comfort of his
parents and confidently expected that
their last days should be with him
that he might be their support and
cheer their spirits in their declining
years. His mother died in his home
80 days previous to his death.
In his death the community loses
one OF its esteemed citizens. He lived
an honest, Industrious and self-sacri
ficing life. On every hand we hear
expressions of surprise at his death
and always with the. words that q
splendid man hath fallen. The com

cradle since navigation opened.
The sun has came out warm and bright
and reduced the dignified mountainous
drifts of snow to water, except here and
there. (where it was unusual deep) lit
tie piles of Insignificant slushy ice re-
mains to represent the once magnificent
and mighty drift. We see steamships
in the steadway now instead of snow
covered icebergs. The surf breaks
cheerfully over the reef along the ire
gular shore and sp.atters its foam far
out on the land.
Since navigation has opened we have
fresh letters from the folks and every
body is happy. Bill Jones gets himself
a chair and places linear window; sits
down and puts his feet up in the win
COW sill, opens his letter from the
"Queen" and smiles, and snikers and
piggles till the letter is read then he
does it all over again. Tom Jones he
makes the same preparations only his

then anger, then he gets up walks out
doors and down to the beach where he
discharges black volumes of blistering
adjectives aloft for an hour His Queen

The estimated production of gold for
this camp in the year of 1910 was given
at $11, 600. Those concerned
wrote lengthy letters about it, they got
drunk over it and tore up their old clothes
and bought new ones and left Alaska's
shores in the fall for home in the states
in such a tranquil and awful fit of ecta-
sy Nome never saw before.
The dark and sleeping Nome of last
winter is now scene of lively activity
and hustle. The miners have returned
to renew their struggle for gold and glo-
ry, and they have lived in comfort and
luxury all winter and now they are pre-
pared to meet the long and weary hours
Of toll accepting the primitive life in

Now in regard to the Eskimo. 1t may
sound irrelevant, but it is my private
opinion, that the Eskimo stancs much
better chance getting by st. Peter with
thsir infinite ignorance than they do
with enough intellect to distinguish be-
tween right and wrong. The Geogra-
ply gives us very pretty descrip ton
of thier alleged beauty, and their neat
little ice huts, Bah! they are all the
same whether they live in an ice hut,
moss hut, log hut or any other hut.
(Now while have them down l will
club them good.) They have no imag-
ination; no temper; nor moral concep-.
ton. If an Eskimo sees cat he just
sees it and that is all; he don't wonder

weighs, what its probaly thinking about
where it came from, who its great
grandmother is or anything else; he just
sees it and feels no desire to throw q
at it nor to caress it.

There has been much said about the
lost flavor Of grape juice after it has
been boiled and bottled The agricul-
tural bulletins tell US that it is unnec-
essary to boil grape juice in order to
preserve it. Heat to 165 or to 17G
Fahrenheit, and the juice will not lose
its delicate favor and aroma. but will
keep indefinitely The bottles into
which the juice is put should be care
fully sterilized and as carefully scald-
ed. If cotton batting is tied over the
corks, mold cannot enter. Another
thing to remember is that the bottles
should be filled to overlooking.
