L L ner have seen a pinched little
boyish face, ever brave, courageous and
smiling, even though the ravages of
dread malady made its terrible inroads
each day. How many have missed the
little fellow the past few weeks and
wondered where and how he was? His
name was Hannibal Workman; he was
just one OF the great number of news
boys who go to. make up a city. Every
one knew him, many walked out of
their way to patroniZe him and all ad-
mired and sympathized with his sur
fering; but today all his sorrows and
pains are over.
If ever a brave fight was made it
was his; there was always a smile on
his pinched, wan little face and an
energy in his emaciated body that was
the wonder of all; that same tired liz
tie body is now at rest the pale face
as white as marble and the smile that
ever frightened his face in life is in
tensified in the peaceful sleep of death
Surrounded by his parents and sis
tiers and loving friends he was laid
away in the cool peaceful ground with
the glow of the evening sun lighting
up the bleak mound of sand and bless
ing the flower covered white caSket
with its benedictiOn- He was just a
little news boy, and his courage, his
fOrtitude. his earnestneSS and ever
present smile cannot but be a lesson
for those of US who are left, and, as
he lies today in the quietness of the
grave, there is wrapped about his tired
little body a mantle of heroism that
many men, at the end of life. could be
proud of, for little Hannibal, in his
brief life, taught many of US patience,
fortitude and cheerfulness.

MI by which facts are stuck to the
Some facts stick much more readily
than others. Almost everyone remem-
bers the date of Washington's birthday.
Yet most men only remember their
wives birthdays with i,reat effort, some
weeks after said birthdays have passed
on.
Memory is very useful, because it re-
lieves man from the job of learning
everything he knows fresh each morning.
Some men have such good memories that
they can rise, 90 to work and proceed
through the entire day without being
obliged to learn a single new fact.
Some men are able to memorize whole
chapters OF the bible at a single reading.
Others do not even remember who was
the author of this great work, but when
asked what Zimmerman's batting aver
age was in the year 1907, they reply ac-
and without hesitation.
Many college professor can remember
the date of everything important that
has happened up to 1900. But in order
to make him remember to bring home

to carve memorandum on his skull.
