FINE ADDRESS DELIVERED.
Judge Franklin's address in part fol-

My Brothers-To permit the mind
to take counsel of the heart upon this
occasion would mark our speech with
mourning and tinge our emotions with
sadness-for we feel keenly the loss
Of our departed brothers. But we
have come to take a more rational
view of the Divine purpose in the
things that are and the things to be
so that we are in a large measure re-
signed to the inevitable. From the
earliest period of the worlds history
the living have halted amid their
activities to pay tribute to the mem.

orial address of ancient times was
from the lips of the immortal Pericles
in which he eulogized the heroic sol.

his government and declared with
lofty sentiment for a more genuine
democracy. More than 20 centuries
have elapsed since that famous

Often do We go to the graves of our
loved ones and cover them with how-
ers, dear token of remembrance. We
know they will soon wither and waste,
but in prophetic spring the slumbering
seed will creep through the earth and
burst into blossoms that fill the world
with beauty and perfume. And so
with the countless dead-as the warm
kisses of the sum and the refreshing
draughts of Heavens dew revive plant
life, so will the alchemist of the celes-

There are some 500 children, however,
who are doomed to the greatest disap-
pointment Of their lives in less than a
month, unless the good people of Rock
Island wake up TO their responsibility.
Il is doubtful if they will go hungry
or that they will SILVER in the cold

table organizations who are guarding
them from these dangers. But what is

SLIPS THE MIND.
knowledge Of what the goodfellows
Of Rock Island did for the young
sters during the past three years
through the medium Of The Argus
Santa Claus fund, gives reason for
the belief that once more the chill
dren will be properly taken care of
and that they will be visited by San
Ia Claus. Thus far, however, the need
for aid seems TO have slipped the
minds Of most people and the fund
has not had the same healthy growth
that characterized 1t in former years
In other words, the necessary money
is not yet forthcoming. Several do
nations have come in, but hundreds Of
dollars are needed. The Argus does
not fear failure to raise the amount.
There is only need to awaken the
charitable people to the opportunity of
making happy some hundreds of poor
children.
TWO METHODS AVAILTBLE.
The Argus Santa Claus fund COM
mittee provides two ways for helping
Santa Claus perform his duties this
year. One is TO give towards the gen.
eral fund with which the committee
will buy candies, nuts, various kinds
OF play things and gifts, the other is
to agree TO act as Santa Claus TO some
one or more children. In the latter
case the committee agrees 70 furnish
the amateur Santa Claus with the
names, ages and residence numbers Of
any number OF children desired. That
leaves 1t up to the ones who takes the
names 10 see that their particular
wards do not miss Christmas.
There now remains % DAYS before
Christmas eve. The time to give
money Is now. Think it over, Mr..
Goodfellow. VIII you pass up this op-
portunity to make children happy
Money for Santa Claus should be
sent TO The Argus Santa Claus fund
committee and receipts for the same
