a revolver at his head, knocked his op-
tician senseless to the floor and got out
with tray full Of jewelrv valued at s6o0.
Price was standing alone in the shop

He asked them what they wished. In
reply one of The men who had stepped
up to the showcase. whipped out a revolver
and had it pointed at the jewellers head
in flash.
Keep your mouth shut or you'll get
some of this" he said to Price The
jeweller was 40 frightened that he only
noticed that the man had brown soft
cap pulled down close over his eyes and
wore dark clothes. Over at the entrance

Scharen obeyed. The man meant busi-
ness. for when Scharen got tired Of hold
ing up his arms and let them drop for an

IN MEMoRIAM.
Amelia Elizabeth Landry.
(Communicated.)

The Angel of Death has all seasons
for his own. He claims alike the
tender blossom, the stalwart tree,
the plant ripe with the harvest Of a
well-spent life. To his summons, on
the fifth day of October, Amelia
Elizabeth Landry, at the age of II
years, months and Z days, re
sponded.
After lingering illness of six
months she surrendered her spirit,
and was laid to the perfect rest and
fadeless JOY that hath no ending.
Kind of heart, devoted to duty, un-
selfish in spirit, willing servant to
humanity, she spent twenty-five years
of her life instructing the young,
dispelling the clouds Of ignorance in
a neighborhood where there was no
school till she established one, no
church till through her untiring eff
forts a chapel came into existence.
To visit the sick, to pray for the
dying, to console the bereaved, to
give religious instruction, to aid the
needy, was her work, her joy, her
life.
While helpful to the community,
she was true to civic ideals. Loyal
to the Lost Cause, : her heroes
Davis, Jackson and Lee, she wor-
SHIPPED with patriotic zeal. In her
last illness, with intellect racked
with pain and disease, she, even
then, gave tribute to Jefferson Da-
Wis: ssAs a statesman, scholar, the
champion Of states rights, the bero
of the Lost Cause, he lives forever
in the memory of every true south
erner.' These, her words, the relt-
Grafton of her estimate of the man.
The spirit Of the true southerner
manifested itself in her hospitality.
The latch of her door was ever lifted
to friends and neighbors; her de-
light was to entertain, to give a
warm reception to all who called up
On her. TO satisfy the slightest
whim of her grandchildren was the
10y of her existence. Her devotion
to her children proved her to be the
sweetest and best of mothers. My
angel girls My sweet boys" was
her last expression in that final az
ony Of the death hour
Sorrow is beyond human help and
human consolation May her host
of friends, her sisters, her bereaVed
children know we must.
Mourn not for the joys that de-
part,
There's comfort and peace for the
stricken heart.
God has taken the spirit that
basked in your love,
But the beautiful angels nave
borne it above
A LOVED ONE.
