quite a young man nc settled in ST.
Paul Minnesota, where he engaged
in business. Later he entered the
service of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St Paul Railroad as conductor
in which capacity he served until
his death. His death occurred in
Minneapolis Minnesota, August 10,
1918. He is survived by one sister,
Mrs. Carrie B. Jordan, Of Lewiston
Idaho, and a half brother J. Gard.
ner Wade of Monroe City, beside
many relatives and a host of friends
who were as numerous as his ac-
quaintance,
1t is appointed that all men
must die. Neither the rich nor
the poor nor the high nor the low
can escape. Life is not meaSused
by its length, but its breadth A
man may live in his narrow cell,
hide his light, care for himself alone
or he may fulfill his mission on
earth and let his light shine and
serve his community and his fellow
man. The corner stone of well reg
ulated life is love-love of human
ity. Another indispensable ele-
ment in life is charity; not alone in
giving forbearance, lending help |
ing hand to those who may need
help by way of counsel, advice, or
what not. Another essential in
eredient is faith-fai in your fel-
low men as we'll as in the Creator.
1t was my pleasure to know Mr.. |
Buchanan, and to know something
of him in the various relations Of
life He possessed all these virtues
and lived them day by day. He |
was modest and unassuming Hell
was mature in mind, ripe in judg- |
ment, careful in decision. honest in
conviction, able and fearless in the
performance of duty, pure in heart,
and clean in life. Having been
reared in a good home, under the
influence and teaching of sanity
mother, he was governed always
by the highest principles. His life
appeals to the head and heart, to
the judgment and conscience Of his
fellow-men. His career was an I'M
usual one. 1t was not meteOric but
it was strong and successful. 1t
was earnest and one Of courageous
and honest performance of duty in
all relations of life. He was loved
and admired by his friends, for he
was true to every trust, and true to
every friend. He was gentle with
the gentleness of the strong man.
His sense of justice was acute and
his sympathies active. His ideals
of public duty we're high, and his
devotion to the interests of those in
whose emplOye he so long served
were constant and unremitting. AS
! knew him, His life was gentle,
and the elements so mixed in him
that nature might staud up and say
to all the world, This was man."
We shall not look upon his like
again
He will be missed on earth. His
departure left void which cannot
be filled. He is dead. We know
not why. There is a hereafter
which will certainly be free from
mystery; habitalion where joy will
reign supreme; a place where sOr,
row will never come and memorials
are not known. Here life in all
it environments, from the cradle
to the grave, however fortunate
may be the lot, has much of sorro "
and gloom, but if the Holy Bible is
an inspired book, as we believe it is

EXPLAINING THE LIGHT BILL.

Look at that, sir!!" exclaimed tn,
irate housewife as she threw the cleo
trio light bill on the Casters desk
"You have charged me with thirty
five kilowatts and there isn't a kilo,
watt in the house and never has beer
We use only metal flament lamps,
%stoaster, a ~flatiron and an electric fan
FThe very idea"
MY dear madam" smiled the cash.
Ter. "thirty-five kilowatts is the quan.
! tity Of electricity you have used fo1
light and heat during the month. We
fsen the current at ten cents a kilowatt
rjust the m as you buy sugar by the
kpound and berries by the quart. AT
bten cents a kilowatt, for t%hirty-fve
Ekilowatts. your bill is just $3.50 for
the month, which is very reasonable
u am sure for what you have used
"Oh," interrupted madam, "I see
But she didn't really see. The kilo-
watt was just as much Of a mystery
as ever. 1t is really a surprise to most
users Of electricity to learn that they
are buying the current in known uuan-
titles and that economy in its use will
make 1t go twice as far at half the
cost. All the work in the house can
be done with the aid Of electricity. It
will cook, sweep. wash, iron and light
en- the labor Of the ~housekeeper, as
well as give light and heat. All this
Its easily understood and it is just as
easy to solve the puzzle of the electric
light bill. Suppose you had to per-
form a certain amount of work and
hired a man with an engine Of five
horse owe to do it. It will be as
sumed that the engine takes -four
hours to do the work. Now if we call
the amount Of work that an engine Of
one horse power will do in one hour a
horse power-hour"-this is merely an
arbitrary term-it is obvious that the
engine Of five horse power will do v
horse power-hours. Another man
with an engine Of ten horse power
would do the same amount of work
in two hours, for he would do ten
times two, or twenty horse power
hours of work. Now what do we pay
for. the horse power or the horse
power-hours? Obviously the latter.
