Virgil E. PiersOn.

poLt = 4CdIlliS bQSllleSS men, al
prominent Hoo Hoo and lumber
man, died at his home in this
city Monday afternoon at $50
O'Clock, after a fifteen days i'll
ness from typhoid fever, which
proved malignant from the
start and resulted in complica-
lions toward the last, which
brought on the end.
All during his illness, the
faithful ministratiOns of a de-
voted wife and the attention of
skilled physicians were his to
command, yet in the very prime
of a successful business career,
the thread of life was snapped
in twain.
The funeral services took
place at 4 o'clock Tuesday after
noon from the home and were
conducted by Rev. j. F. McKen-
zie, pastor of the Presbyterian
church. Beautiful floral en-
blems made up a mighty tribute
from loved ones and friends and
the remains will be carried to-
night to Vincennes, Indiana, his
birthplace and old home and
there laid to rest midst the
scenes of boyhood days, the OBJ
sequies there to be held at 3 p.
m. Wednesday.
The active pail bearers are
Messrs. Walter Fife, Sidney
Mack, G. L. Robinson, VIM. Cor
ley, H. C. Patton and Roy Dut-
ton and the following honorary
pail bearers have been named:
Messrs. w. T. Parish, w. A. Bill
Kingsley, Gus Martin, John H.
Keel, J. D. Vaughn, Joe Baker,
Bee Robinson, Jack Montgom-
cry, Ed E. Parrot, H. E. Sulli-
van, E. NJ. Ware, Joe P. Ander-
son, J. D. Sisson and A. w. Huff.
The remains will be accom-
panied to their last resting place
by the wife and two surviving
children, Georgia, aged 6 years,
Virgil E., aged 5 months, his
mother, Mrs. J. w. Pierson,
brother, Bonner Pierson and
Mrs. Douglass of Birmingham,
Alabama, sister of Mrs. Pierson.
They will be met in St. Louis by
a brother of the deceased. To
all Of this grief-stricken fam
lily and the father too, who will
remain here, goes out the deep
sympathy of our people in the
loss of an esteemed citizen.
Virgil E. Pierson was born
December 3, 1878 at Vincennes,
Indiana and was thus "a years,
5 months and 13 days old. He
was married October "a, 1898
to Miss Georgia L. Wallace and
located in Newport ten years
ago.
The deceased was a member
of the Elks Lodge and a very
active Hoo Hoo. He was gener-
al manager of the Black and
White River Transportation
Company and a lumber buyer,
! who had an extensive acquain-
| tance over the state.
He was a public spirited and
progressive citizen, a kind hus-
band and an indulgent and low
ing father, whose taking away
brings sorrow to many hearts
and gloom to the home. May
the sympathy of host of
friends bring it's need of COM
fort to the grief-stricken loved
ones of our departed citizen.

Indication of Character.

Insincerity in dress is very good
indication Of other kinds of insincer-
ity. and if a womans lingerie does not
accord with her dresses, you may be
pretty sure that her actions will not
accord with her words. There is, be-
sides, nothing SO satisfying as the
feeling of being we'll dressed all the
way through. There is nothing which
gives such perfect poise and grace as
the consciousness of well-fitting I'M
dergarments and petticoat of which
one need not be ashamed. The wom-
an who puts all her spending money
into the things that show" feathered
hats. silk gowns, blouses, and is will
ing to go about wearing the cheapest
OF underskirts and 4stockings, is
rather like the hypocrite who could
carry whole load of secret sins hid
den beneath smiling countenance.

Greatest Tomb in tn. World.

0TeAtoSt Somo IN the Woflos
Next to the Holy Sepulchre in Je-
rusalem, the greatest tomb in the
world is that of Christ's Vicar, ST.
Peter, the Prince of the Apostles.
This tomb is in the arch-basilica of
the Vatican. namely. st. Peters
Church. The holy body of st. Peter
has never been moved from its first
resting place since the building of the
first basilica of st. Peters by Con-
stantine. So great has been the
scruple in this respect that the pres
ent Confession or Papal Altar in the
st. Peters of today, in order to be
exactly over the tomb, is not perfect
ly in the center of the church.
Among the thousands of saints, en-
perors and kings and the millions Of
Christians who. in the course of the
long line of centuries, visited and
prayed in st. Peters at the tomb Of
the Apostles, were the Emperor Theo-
NOoAAo oAu ~ cAO41lAaA, WILL G1OOO61dp
and Gala Placida, his mother; the
Emperors Ohio I, II, III; st. Henry.
the Emperor, and Cunegunda, his
wife; Emperor Charles "; Kings
Canute and Richard I of England,
Charlemagne visited st. Peters four
times and was crowned in it by Pope
st. Leo Ill, and twenty emperors have
been crowned in it by the Sovereign
Pontifrs.
Among the Saints who visited and
prayed in st. Peters were: st. Peter
Damian, ST. Bridget, st. Catherine Of
Sienna, St Francis Of Assist, st. DOM
inic, st. Benedict. ST. Bernard, st.
Thomas Aquinas, st. Philip Neri, st.
1gnatius, st. Alphonsus. st. Paul of
the Cross, st. Aloysius. St. Charles
Borromeo and others too numerous to
mention. Surely it is a holy spot.

A DISAPPEARING TYPE.

Somehow the platonic lover has al
most drifted out of fiction. Novelists
do not seem to need him, and indeed
he was always rather an inanimate
figure.
One wondered. as with the flies In
amber, how he came to be there.
Perhaps he was a sort of property

that was about all that could be said
for him.
Some characteristics of English
fiction as it was years ago have arisen
in another form in the American
novel of the present day. The pla-

turn up, because some American writ

THE MOON EXPOSED.

The observation that the rays from
the moon favour putrefaction detracts
from the romance which has long
been associated with moonlight,
says the Westminster Gazette. 1t is
an old tradition, the Lancet points
out, that to sleep in the moons rays
was a dangerous proceedings, and
there is such thing as "moonblink,
a temporary blindness said to be due
to sleeping in the moonlight of tropi-
cal climates, while some observers
have reported devitalising action of
life. There is even quoted a death
the cause OF which was officially stat
ed to be exposure to moonlight. APP
parently the food most seriously
affected by the moons radiations is

THE RINGING OF The BELL.
By CHARLES N. LURE

HlNOlNu w me Dkkbs
The scene is Lloyd's, in London, that
ancient and historic and exceedingly
busy place where the ships of the
world are insured.
The underwriters and their clerks
are engaged in their important tasks.
There In work to be done, that the loss
Of a ship may not mean ruin to her
owners. but may be distributed. 1t is
a place Of pounds and dollars and
marks and francs, in the atmosphere
Of which. 1t seems. there should be no
tinge of sentiment.
Once, twice, rings a bell!
A ship, reported lost, is safe.
Instantly business Is forgotten. The
brokers and their clerks throng about
the bell and they cheer and they shake
hands with one another and they are
as happy as schoolboys. A ship is
safel The bell has announced 1t.
Cynics may say: "Of course they
would rejoice. Doesn't the pealing Of
the bell mean the saving Of insur-
anceT Not so-shame on you, Master
Cynic! The bell is pealed for the sal
walton Of human life, the coming back
of those who were menaced.
So In each life, when some one loved
and dear and imperiled is saved from
death or illness Or shipwreck. moral or
| physical, there should be pealed bell
Of thankfulness and rejoicing. not once
or twice, but many times.
| The ship that bears our loved ones
laboring in great waters against storm
and stress, amid the darkening clouds
of danger and doubt. we thought was
lost. but 1t Is safe. Those we feared
| were gone are returned to us. Let us
sound the bell of the rejoicing of the
| spirit. Let us make music on the tim
brels Of the heart
Many there be that navigate the ses
of life. and all do not come to port
| or some there is told the tale Of tho
tempest and the hurricane. the awfu
wrath Of the clouds of sin and tht
pounding to pieces on the reefs Of NOR
al destruction.
II perchance we can throw out the
life line of aid to such before 1t is too
late and bring them safely to the shor,
Of safe and healthy and happy life
Let us ring the bell and rejoice!

Some day the health boards will
get up enough courage to get after
the pastors and directing hands of
some of our church buildings. We
demand ventilation in halls, theatres,
and schools but in most churches it
is sadly neglected. A hot, stuffy, and
unventilated church is a breeder OF
diseases.
In observing the laws of the
Sabbath 1t must not be overlooked that
the Lord would be better pleased il
the laws of Nature were also regard
ed. The Almighty created Nature
and 1t surely must be an offense tt
Him to see church break His first
rule.
