one day IN search of some Kind Atten-
ticn. He hummed so melancholy

and said. pray, Boy, can you sing
nothing more cheerful than that?
left my nice, warm Home with Self
satisfaction, but he fed at the turn of
your Tune. Who are you that have so
little.Joy in your Throat"
L am Nobody that you know, good
sir, Though l have seen you day after
day with other Passers- by, and l have
asked you many times for a little
Childhood so that l might some time
leave the Cold and Dark; but you
have never given your Best to Nobody
that-you-know and therefore have I no
JOY in my Throat"
Yes said the Passer- by, "but
have always given orders that some
Kindness and Whatever-I- didn't want
should be given to you. What More
can l do2" But the Boy only whistled
his Tune and trudged on.
Inc rune began presently to sing 1t
self in the Ears of the Passer-by, and
he said to himself. Why did | not ask
the Name of this Tune that l might
curse 1t. for since It has been in my
Ears have not seen Content, and Self
satisfaction has not come near me-"
And the Passer-by grew more miser-
able every Day. Then he found him
@elf whistling he3melancholy Tune I'M
til he CHANGED to meet Conscience, who
had formerly been his Slave, and Con-
science said. Farewell master. for l
see by the Tune you are whistling that
| am clear and free
Then the Passer- by said 4 see no
meaning in your Speech" And Con-
science spoke again and said. DO you
not know the Name of the Tune that
you are whistling?"
NO said the Passer- by, but I
would know, that l may curse tt

BINGHAM.
George r. SawtelIe.

This community, together with hosts
of friends everywhere, was shocked,
Tuesday night, Dee. 18th, by hearing
of the death that evening of George
r. SaWtelle, conductor on the Somerset
Div, whose home was at Bingham.
Ray as he was commonly known, was
taken sick the day before ThanksgiV-
ing, with what afterward proved to be
typhoid fever, in its most virulent
form. He was sick % days and every
thing that nurses, physicians and loY-
ing hands could do was done, but the
disease had too firm a hold, and at
half past five Tuesday night he was
seized with hemorrhages and died as
the tide went out. He was the son of
Alvin p and Louise A. Sawtelle of
Sidney. He leaves, besides a young
wife, a baby boy two years of age, a
sister, Eva L. and brother, Simon A.
Sawtelle. He was % years of age. He
was married Nov "A, 1903 to Marcia
T. Steward, youngest daughter Of
BENZ NJ. Steward of Bingham. Their
home life was beautiful and the young
wife has the memery of a loving llus-
band to sustain her in her loss. The
services were simple, yet impressive,
and were held at his residence on Lam
der street. The officiating clergyman
was the Rev T. B. HIATT, and he
spoke words of cheer to the family
and friends The floral offerings were
many and beautiful. The interment
was at Norridgewock, in the family
lot, beside his younger brother. Ray.
Raymond Dawtelle was a young man
of good character and exemplary hab-
its. He was devoted to his wife and
family. and his home life was parti-
cularly beautiful and sweet. OF sim
pie habits, he disliked ostentaton, yet
his thoughts We're ever of others, and
not of himself. He had hosts of
friends. and no enemies. His help to
anybody in distress was practical. He
was affiliated with no church, yet he
praeticed Christianity toward all. and
was a friend to all. No man had
better friend than Raymond Sawtelle,
and no man who knew him, but could
call him friend. He has played his
part in the drama of life, and the
white light shows him into the clear"
and straight track lies before him
to the Fathers SIDE where a loving
welcome awaits him.
