Gather the robe in final fold
Around the form so still and cold
Lay on her bosom, pure as snow,
The fairest, sweetest flowers that
grow,
Kiss her and leave her our heart

Her pain is o. r she sleeps tonight"
She died at Z o'clock p. m. just
with the closing of the day she
went to sleep like tired child.
1t was just as the birds carolled
the coming of evening and just as
the rosy fingers of the orb of day
tinted the western sky with soft
sheen of sunset glow. Surely a
fitting time for pure spirit to take
it's fight Heavenward. With the
eye of faith one could see at the
close of this balmy June day an in
visible hand wave a signal, and
voice in softest accent on the even

were open and that Gods angels
were waiting to escort her in.
After a long, busy and useful life
she died as she had lived-loved,
honored and trusted. She reared
her own monument while she lived
In the hearts OF all who knew her.
Her life was completed if work all

She joined the "Old School"
Presbyterians at the age of 16.
After marriage she united with the
M. E. Church, South, at Postoak,
and a few years ago transferred her
membership to the M. E. Church,
South, in Camden. Her Christian
life was beautiful from its begin

the vicissitudes and sorrows she
met on the way, her faith in God
never wavered. But she has left

ROOSEVELT'S nETHODS.

The convention that assemblies
at Chicago today promises to be a
remarkable event in the political
history of the country, says Tues
days Nashville Banner. It has
features that have never before en-.
tered into American politics. No
convention since that which NOM
mated Lincoln in Chicago in 1860
is SO frought with dynamic posi-
bilities.
The feature of this convention
that distinguishes it from all its
predecessors is the attempt to con-
troll it in the interest of an inordin-
atepersonal ambition. Aside from
this there would be no unusual
disturbance. Never before has the
country witnessed SO determined
an effort by any candidate to di-
rect, it might be said to force, po-
litical resu,;.. in his own favor.
Theodore Roosevelt is on the
ground in person, using every de-
vice known to political manuevers,
every art of the demagogue, all the
power that can come of menace and
bravado, and, withal, he is backed
by abundant money furnished by
trust magnates, ready to buy any
wobbling delegates that by corrupt
means can be detached from the
Taft following.
The country has never known so
bold a politician as Theodore
Roosevelt, none so utterly without
scruple, none with such insatiate
ambition. It has been times said
he is the most dangerous man the
country has ever known, and every
day he adds new evidence to the
truth of that assertion. The role.
he is now playing at Chicago would
be impossible for anyone else. If
it is not startling, the reason is that
he could do could bring
Mr.. Roosevelt at first hoped
there would be some overwhelming
popular demand for 4is nomina-
ton. His plan was to appear in
different, even recalcitrant, until
the convention forced the nomina-
ton on him. He soon saw that
this hope was futile. When he an
nounced that his shat was in the
sing" he had determined to have
the nomination at any cost. He is
now planning to seize it by an over
throw of all the rules and prece-
dents ever known to parliamentary
law.
There we're 234 contests of dele
gates, nearly all entered by the
Roosevelt following, and many OF
Llrem had hardly the shadow of ba-
,is. Possibly the committee had

strset cries in minor KEN.

Street cries are nearly always in
the minor key" says the Paris Jour
nal des Debats. And an English COM
mentator AYERS that this key is main
tanned in our own street cries-such
as Sweet Lavender" and he thinks
the explanation is that the minor key
involves less strain on the throat that
has TO emit the same cry all day long.
But London cries are few of them in
the minor key Of the Partisan boz
who heraids the evening on the boule-
Yards with VOLTA lie Soir," Our own
newspaper boy has cultivated the rau-
cous monotone that collects politics
and murders into one simple yell
There is nothing of the minor key
about the rilkman's announcement
And perhaps the least musical Of all
cries is that of the man who hawks
coal about the street. He does not
shout Coal" No stranger would sus-
pect him of coal He emits only a

walls, below without form or comeli-
ness: It is the least common denomi.

SQUIRREL SHOWS DEEP GRIEF
Mourns over Severed Head of Mate
With Intensity That Seems Al
most Human.

Almost every public park in the
United States has its lively and half
domesticated colony of squirrels, and
there is no other creature of the woods
and fields with which city children
may-and do-become so familiar. An
interesting story which shows the
depth of feeling which these little ami
mails are capable. comes to the. Corr
panion from Waterloo, Ia:
A physician who lives near one of
the parks in that city had long had
an especial interest in a pair of SPUR
rels which made their home in a tree
within sight of his house One day he
noticed that one of this pair was run
ming up and down a certain tree in
the park meanwhile chattering in the
greatest excitement Finally the lit
tie fellow appeared on branch, hold
ing between his paws the severed head
of his mate. over which he was moan
ing and whining pitifully. On inyesti-
cation, it appeared that the dead squir-
rel had been caught and actually de-
capitated by limb split off from the
tree by storm of the night before.
The grief-stricken mate would not
abandon the body all that day, and
mourned over the severed head with
an intensity and absorption which
seemed almost human, with depth
of emotion indeed. of which some hui
man beings are hardly capable

THE HOME LIFE OF THE.

WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS ALL

THE LuxuRIES.

A young lady of Wisconsin secured
a certificate at the Milwaukee. cfiice
of the Canadian Government, and on
presenting this to the ticket agent of
the railway at the Canadian BOUNDARY
line she secured a ticket at r. duced
rate which carried her tc Edmonton,
Alberta. from which point, about for
ty miles, she had friends. This was
couple of years ago, and the young
lady is now married to one of the
promising young farmers of the dis
trict.
In writing of her trip to the Mil
waukee representative of the Cana
dian Government she says: II enjoyed
my trip up here very much, and ex-
peet to go out to our homestead in

she has put up twelve quarts of rasp-

woman's standpoint. the country Is
very beautiful" Speaking OF the
friends with whom she went up to
live, she says: They certainly have
a beautiful farm and housen-they
had been there about four years, also
going from Wisconsin-"they have

Now these people are enjoying life
in Alberta: they have splendid eli

happy that they are part and parcel
