a Tribute to the Memory Of
Little Mercedes Way.
WHO DIED lilly 26. 1919.

(WHo DIED JULY 26, 1917.
Death is no respecter Of per-
sons; the young, the old, the
middle-aged alike must answer
to the call, when the Grim
Reaper comes.
Little Mercedes was born in
.Iota, Feb. End, 1908, but the past
few years has resided with her
parents near LaWtell, where she
became a member Of our little
Sunday School, when we organ
lied in February last. She was
a bright, sweet child, SO tender
hearted and loving, and her mer-
ry little voice was often raised
in song.
Only one short week ago she
was at our LaWten Sunday School
picnic, took part in the program,
.reciting t h e closing address.
Little did we think as she stood
by the organ, singing, looking SO
well and happy, that she was SO
soon to join the angel choir,
and the dear little voice would
be heard no more on earth. But
the bright eyes have opened up
on the glories Of heaven, and
never again will they be dim
med by tears. The sorrows of
earth are past, and she is safe in
the arms OF Him who said: Suf-
fer little children to come unto
me and forbid them not, for OF
such is the kingdom Of Heaven.
Sometimes we become so en-
crossed with our pursuits in this
world that we forget that we are
but strangers and pilgrims
here-We have only a little
while to stay, then God takes
some treasure of ours away TO
draw our hearts away from
earthly things, to Himself, for
he doth not willingly affiict nor
grieve the children of men,.
There are very few homes where
there is not a vacant chair: where
some loved voice is not hushed
forever on earth. But If we pre-
pare here, to meet our God In
peace, we will find our treasures
safe with Him.
Weep not. dear parents, broth
ers and sisters; we can all 90 to
little Mercedes, tho she cannot
come to US, and with heartfelt
sympathy we commit you all to
the loving care Of Him who is
too good to be unkind, too wise to
make any mistakes.
A copy of this tribute will be
sent to the Clarion for publica-
ton, one to the family, and also
be read before the Sunday School
where she will be missed and re-
membered as the first Of our lit
tie band to be honored with acalI
to the presence of our King

GOOD APPROPRIATION
FOR RIVERS and HAR.
BORIS WORK.

Washington, d. G. July-(Spe-
cial)-The river and harbor
appropriation bill which was
signed by President Taft on
Thursday carries in round num-
bers $33, 259, 600, the Senate hav-
ing added to the bill as it passed
the House $8, 054, 900 and struck
out $233, 00Omaking a netIincrease
of 81, 821, 600, While this amount
seems the general consensus of
opinion is that much of the in
creased appropriation was well
advised, especially that portion
dealing with the Mississippi River
for levee work, an imperative de-
mand having been made upon
Congress by the thousands affect
ed BY the floods of the last spring
which not only destroyed millions
of property but lives as well.
The signature of the President
to the River and Harbor bill
makes more certain the policy of
an annual waterway bin, which
has been one Of the cardinal
principles of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress since its
organization ten or more years
ago.
An absorbing question to those
who seek out Curious possibilities
in politics and election results is
what would happen on the event
no candidate for President should
receive a majority vote ia the
electoral college, and the election
should, under the Constitution. be
imposed upon the House of Re
representatives., in which the states
in such emergencies vote sever
any as units. The two great
political parties being a tie IN the
unit control Of the states, an cleo
ton, with the Representatives,
adhering to party lines, would be
impossible, unless BY reason of
or resignation there should
result such a change of the unit
complexion as to permit an cleo
ton. OF course, tits an extreme
n remote probability, but still

BUSINESS FOR NAY
Net Operating Revenue for the
Month Decline Oyer Five
Per Cent.

For the month Of May the net
operating revenue Of the rail-
ways declined five and fve-tenths
per cent per mile of line as COM
pared with May 1911, and that
for May 1911 was four and eight
|tenths per cent less than for May
1910. This is the salient fact of
the monthly summary of the Blu
reau of Railroad Economics, COM
piled from the reports Of the
railways to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and embrac-
ing ninety per cent Of the steam
mileage of the country.
The total operating revenues
were 1928, 109, 1852. an increase
of ST per mile of line over May,
1911. The operating expenses
were $161, 368, SIT, an increase
of $249 per mile of line, while
the net operating revenue was
1914, 740, 585, a decrease of $17.3
per mile Of line. Taxes amount
ed for the month to So, 897, 301,
or S45 per mile, an increase of
nine and two tenths per cent.
The decrease in net operating
revenue was most severe for the
EASTERN group of railways,
amounting to eleven and nine
tenths per cent. For the South
ern group it increased four
tenths of one per cent, and for
the Western group less than one
tenth of one per cent. The ag-
gregate of the net operation rev.
enued for the eleven months of
the fiscal year, and also the cal
endar year, when measured per
mile of line, shows a decrease in
comparison with the correspond
ing periods of the previous year.

Difference Is Too LARGE.

Chicago, Sept.4.-Packers are MAX
ing a wide discrimination between the
choice light and medium butchers
from which they can cut chops and
the big heavy sows which have to go
into the pork barrel just at the pres
ent time. There is a dollar spread in
the market price of these grades of
hogs which sellers say is more than
1t ought to be. The most urgent de.
mand is for something that will cut
up into pork for immediate consump-
tion to take the place of the high
priced beef. Anything outside of
that class is meeting with very little
competition.
