John Lapierre Commits Suicide

John Lapierre, sixty-five years
old and one of the best known men
in Brookfeld, where he had been
engaged in the hotel and restaur-
ant business many years, was
found in the railroad yards at
Brookfeld at two o'clock Wednes-
day morning with a bullet hole
through his temple, and died a few
minutes after being removed to his
home. At first it was thought that
he had been murdered, but the cor
oner's jury decided that he had
fired the fatal shot himself.
The act was committed in front
of a vacant store building on Bos-
ton street and the revolver was
found under q platform a few feet
away. From there q trail Of blood
led to the railroad yards. where he
was seen to fall. Bruises on the
body seem to prove that he had
also been struck by a train.
BE is survived by the widow and
three daughters. he sold his hotsI,
the Lapisrre. only a few days ago
and he and his wife were expecting
to visit their old home in France

Some Evening Reveries

Heaven! What nameI It is
a land without a storm, country
without a tempest, where there are
no wars or fights or quarrels; no
sick beds there, no aching heads or
hearts, no bills to be paid or rents
to become due; people without
poverty; a city without cemetery; !;
a domain without a darkness; a sea
of delight with never a billow or
shipWreck; garden without a
weed; a place where no hospitals
or asylums are ever built; no beg
gars there; no crying children; no
breadless mouths; no shoeless feet;
no policemen or sheriffs or con-
stables; no saloons or brothels; no
muddy minds or twitching nerves;
40 aching teeth, no feverish blood;
no undertakers or physicians; no
surgeons knife or dentist s forceps;
no drug stores; no crutches, or
eye glasses, or ear trumpets; no
smoking lamps or burnt-out wicks;
no brooms or dust. For trials we
get triumphs, pain gives way to
praise; heartbeats give way to
heartstrings; sighs away to songs.
Instead of the plow and the
furrow, it is the sickle and the
sheaf. The sower's sack is replaced
by the barn of fullness. The
pruning knife is not to be found,
neither the harrow nor the hoe. In
that happy land the neighbor is no
stranger, and the king is the per-
sonal friend of all. There it is
not work to live, but to live to
work. There is no toll in heaven
ly services, nor fainting under
heavy strains. There are no loads
to carry. 1t is land where every
one helps himself to what he wants,
and giving does not impoverish the
-oiuer.Thara they never. solicit
funds for church erection, nor take
up collections to meet DEFICIENCIES,
It is land of rest. The traveller
has reached his terminus, the
hunter his happy hunting ground,
the pursued of Satan has found a
refuge, the friendless have found q
thousand friends, the homeless live
in mansions, and a beggar could
make man rich with his over
supply.
