In Memory of a friend

The angel of death came into
the home of. Henry Pettyjohn on
Sept. 4tb, 1912, and took from him
bis beloved wife. She had suffered
only a few days. All that medical
aid and loving hands could do
was done, to keep her with us, but
all to no avail.
Mrs. Pettyjohn was formerly
Miss Meta Wells. She leaves a
husband, father, mother, three
brothers, three sisters and MANY
relatives and friends to mourn ber
departure. She was faithful
member Of the Free Will Baptist
church Meta was a true, good
woman, a loving and agreeable wife
and a kind and obcdient daughter,
But God, in his Almighty Wisdom,
saw fit to call her from this earth
TO home prepared for His angels.
To the bereaved husband and
relatives, we would say, weep not
for God has only called another
angel to soar around HIS throne,

Obituary

The death angel visited the home
Of Mrs. Rosa Sullivan and took
from her a precious babe. Little
Willie Elizabeth was born March
Is, 1911, and died Sept. 3, 1912.
Willie was a sweet little girl and
was loved by all. 1t was bard to
give her up, but we should not
weep, for the Lord says, "Suffer
little children TO come unto Me for
Of such is the Kingdom Of Heaven" A"
We know little Willie Is a bright
and shining angel. She is over
on the other shore beckonlng US to
follow.
Dear mother, relatives and
friends let's all live as God would
have US live. And when we come
to die little Willie may be the
bright angel to beckon US home.
4 precious Jewel to us was given
But She was soon called home 70 Heaven.

Men like Bailey and Hepburn
oppose the bill (Childrens Bureau)
because, forsooth, it treats children
"like pigs and cattle" This may
seem clever but it is absurd. The
point is that more attention is now
paid by states and the national
government to pigs than to child
ren. If we are to continue to
gather and publish information
concerning pigs in order to pro-
mote industrial progress, is it not
preposterous to decline to study
and publish data concerning the
protection and conservation of
childhood? We think the national
child labor conference a safer
guide for congress than Bailey,
Hepburn & Co.-Chicago Record

EXPERIENCE A
FINISHING SCHOOL

A student fresh from college is
not marketable commodity. The
longer he has studied the more
helpless he is in all his relations
to practical life. This is not his
own fault, nor the fault of his col
lege. 1t is simply inherent in the
circumstances of the case, and is
due to the fact that school train
ing gives only one kind of educa-
ton, and one kind is not enough.
A student is like bakers cracker,
which needs to be turned and
Drowned on both sides.
The point is that knowledge
comes only in part by learning; the
other part comes by acting. We do
not know a thing till we have done
it. Boats sink by becoming water
logged. That exactly states the
condition of collegian at the
close of senior year. He sinks I'M
der the weight of what he has been
soaked with. He only half knows
what he knows for the reason he
has never worked what he knows.
Use has not converted theory in
to practice. knowledge has been
in way taken into the system,
but it remains there in an undi-
gested state. Consequently man
may go to Columbia or Yale, study
geometry, trigonometry, integral
and ditferential calculus, graduate
with a diploma written in Latin
and certified to by the university
megnates, and still be unable to
calculate the number of cord-feet
in a pile of wood.
That may not necessarily be any
real indictment of the university
system of education. Measuring
wood will not probably form any
part of the graduates contemplated
lifework. But it illustrates the fact
that it is necessary to learn thing
twice before it is known, once by
study and again by action.-Dr.
Parkhurst in Chicago American.

JESSE STEPHENSON.

A Democratic house committee
has included in the postoffice ap-
preparation a provision for a par
GELS post limited to the rural
routes. This will not do. II the
measure is not amended 80 as to
give relief to the cities as well as
to the country districts, the peo-
pie will have right to feel that
the Democratic majority has come
under the same evil influence that
kept the Republican majority from
acting.-Nsws.

MANHOOD.MAKINC
CARNIVAL

For seven nights the Denver
Athletic club, made up of the best
business men of this city, who go
daily to their association rooms to
recruit, on pulleys, punching bags
and in the pool, strength sapped
by the exactions of commercial life,
have been giving for their own
entertainment and for the edifica-
ton of nonmemters and invited
guests, IN annual boxing, wrestl-
ing and general sport carnival.
None but amateurs of the purest
sort-young men willing to enlist
out of genuine enthusiasm, boys
whose red blood flows swift
through their veins, and youths
to whom applause is the one great
est rewards permitted to enter.
The contests thus far have been
clear and clean cut; an average of
l 800 have seen the nightly strug-
giles; the decisions have been fair;
the budding athletes have smiled in
the face of defeat or exulted in
victory with true sportsmanlike
gameness.
Yet there are those who profess
to see in this, as in all other things,
the downfall of our entire social
fabric, the ruination of our most
cherished institutions and the con-
demnation to eternal perdition of
everything we hold sacred.
Nothing of the sort! The Dem
yer Athletic club is composed of
men of the red and speeding blood.
The membership rolls include
names of city makers and state
builders; of those who do great
things, dream great dreams and
work out great problems. They be-
lieve in bigger Denver, and a
grander Colorado.
And they know that those of
puny body, weak physical structure
and puny vitality can never aid in
such work-News.
