Why that rose

f The memory Of Miss Hansen will
always live in our hearts, as one of
the sweet and clean visions Of the
better life.

There are stopping places along
the downward path, every man gets
a dozen chances to stop and medi.
tate.
These stopping places bear a sign:
Halt, view thy ife!"
Did the speaker bring us to one
of the 'stops?'
How did the words appeal to you:
Was the word of encouragement,
of hope, spoken?
Did the scales turn, even tiny
bit?
II so, you may say with me: Last
Sunday we were given the chance
to see such beauty of character in
a girl, that we can appreciate and
shape our dreams of heaven.
Next Sunday we are to have Miss
Hansen again (all of us) and if the
program is as good GO, it cannot be
as goodD we will be the better for
the hour.
Grief never follows a song, your
story closes the door on doubt.
We are sure that you will not
deem it too presumptious, this i'll
written tribute from one on the
wrong side cf life.
Our own apology is this: we have
seen so much of the horrid, that the
beautiful clings to us more firmly
than to some whose opportunity il
is to mingle with the beautiful al
ways.

ease, leprosy. You all know the
nature of this disease without de-
tailed description of its horrible
character and are also aware that
there is no cure and that it is one of
the most contagious OF diseases on
record. This eighteen year old boy
instead of raising all sort of fuss and
calling in the authorities to take a
hand etc., quietly moved with his
mother to a vacant house, away from
friends and neighbors and commenc-
ed to perform the duties of nurse to
this mother. Repaying as best he
could the pain she had suffered for
him, and the sleepless nights she had
spent over him when an infant, do
ing for her the many things others
could not do and Frightening her
remaining life with his love.
The mother is now dead but the
boy, just entering manhood, is affiic-
ted with the same disease. In this
humble cottage he is doomed to
spend the rest of his life for the de-
votion shown to his mother. Here
he will be deprived of all that one
holds dear. Here he will do years
of solitary confinement, no one for
companionship but the birds of the
air and the beasts of field.
When you stop to consider the
sacrifice this boy has made, it can
not help but bring tears of sadness
to your eyes. If he had deserted his
mother when her affection was first
noticed, he. in all probability. would
today be free from this disease. But

Last Sunday the members of the
Chautauqua circle were given
treat that will long be remembered.
Miss Hansen of Wisconsin, trav-
cling from the Lyceum Bureau of
Chicago, was the attraction. She
gave several readings, every one of
them grand. None can be chosen
as the best, yet we want to linger
over the reading taken from Ralph
Connors' story, Black Rock
The scene was a Canadian lum-
Der camp and the minister reads the
old, old story wherein The Christ is
lifted up so that the lumberjacks
might see new significance in it.

ideallst, so that / could pay fitting
tribute to Miss Hansen and-her
art.

worker, but that story, as read by
Miss Hansen, crowns everything !
have ever heard.
The old, old story; yet she told it
SO beautifully that it came to us in
a newer sense-newer because this
truth was drove home to us: Heaven
is still open for the worst of us.
The pure life as held up by Miss
Hansen is the secret of salvation.
There is no substitute. We have
tried them all and found them all
wanting.
And, now and again we are forced
to go back to listen anew to the
old, old story, that tells of lowly
Galilean being born, to give hope to
the hopeless.
Miss Hansen is gifted with very
pleasing personality, she does not
have to rely solely upon her art to-
win her audience. Size has but to
snaile and tell in few simple words
Gas she does) her creed of Sunshine
of doing the best she can in all the
ways she can whenever she can"
and she has her audience from the
start, her art keeps It.
We do not know whether Miss
Hansen has any set religion. but we
do know she has the religion of life.
She tells OF a present, but in the
telling she brings, out of the past,
the memories of white boyhood,
and white prayer-times. Old wounds
we had thought closed and forgotten
opened anew and many misty eyes
there were when she told the story
of the minister's hearing the old,
old story from his mother.
Miss Hansen gave us three dialect
poems which won great applause;
she closed the meeting with selec-
ton called THE Rose"
We feel little proud that we
were the cause of getting the last
selection. for it was grand. She
told of rose growing just beyond

To Miss Hansen
BY A. N. APACHE.

Only slim little bit of girl,
But o, what a fragrance she brings to the heart!
Smile of her. voice of her-tender and sweet
Opens the spot from where tear-drops start;
Only bit of girl, yet her voice
Brings back the tenderness we had of old;
Only story told soft and low
That leads the black sheep back to the fold.
Only worker for God and her Christ,
Bringer of sunshine. the good and the true;
May you always keep sweet in your story and song
Wherever you go. may God go with you!
Only voice in the work of her King:
Only teacher to life's better way,
We who have heard long to hear you again,
That we unlearn to scoff and be brought back to
pray.
Good bye and God with you! bringer of peace;
Go where you will over land, over sea.
Yet you'll be near and held dear by the tie
That will bind us sforever-SWEET MEMORY!

FOUND ON THE DESERT

A Fallon dipatch Of the goth to
the Reno Gazette says:
Murder with robbery as an
incentive, was doubtless committed
On the stretches of salt and sand
of Churchill county. Just when
the foul deed was committed can.
not be learned, but it very pro-
badly took place subsequent to
February 18th.
The condition of the body eyi.
dences that death ensued several
weeks ago.
Italian section hands, employed
by the Southern Pacific company,
made the gruesome discovery as
they were pumping a hand car
across the desert. They saw what
appeared to be prone. a human
form lying on the fiat a'quarter Of
u mile from the track and made an
investigation.
The body was that Of a man five
feet and eight inches in height
weighing 145 pounds. The hair
and moustache were yellowish red.
The man wore overalls, a blue
jumper and brown underwear.
The only means of Identification
was a bank book showing two de-
posits Of $50 dollars each in the
banking department of the Love-
lock CONNER cisl company, ae.
credited to Francis Johnson.
When the orone arrived the
body was closely inspected and it
was found that his neck had been
broken and there was a hole in
his left temple. Whether this was
caused by a bullet or by a sharp
instrument was not determinable,on
account of the decayed condition
of the body.
There was no evidence Of a
struggle in the vicinit y, nor of
footprints, but il there had been,
they would have been o~bliterated
by the storms that interviewed
since the time Of the tragedy.
"A telephone message to Lovelock
revealed that the money deposited
with the Commercial company's
bank had been withdrawn on
February 18th.
The body was buried at Fallon,
where the inquest was held. The
evidence brought forth no lew
facts.
