The angel Of death visited the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Cloar AND
carried away their darling baby, little
Flora, aged seven months.
Why should we not be reconciled to
the death Of our little ones when we
know that God has transplanted them
in bis heavenly kingdom. We can safely
say they are at rest, but when one OF
maturity dies we say: hope he, or she,
is at rest.
Parents, your little Flora has gone to
be with sweet little Rebecca, and they
will be there waiting for Papa and
Mama and the other dear children.
God wanted that precious, sweet dar-
ling to help make up his jewels. God
knows what to do with his children.
Her little body was laid to rest at Old
Fremont cematery on June 2S, funeral
services being held by Bro. Brinkley.
Father and mother, say: ! am going
to live nearer the cross than / have
heretofore, for ] have two precious dar-
lings waiting for me.
! pray God to be with the parents in
their sore affiiction.
GREAT GRANDMOTHER.

BABY'S HANDS TIED.
Mother Tells How saxo Saive Con
quered Eczema.

Last fall we noticed small rough
and red spots coming on babys
hands. The skin was very dry and
she kept scratching them until they
would bleed. We lost a good deal Of
sleep with her. Finally we took her to
the doctor and he treated her several
weeks, but it kept spreading until we
had to keep her little hands tied and
dress and bandage them several
times a day they were so sore. and
we used everything we could hear OF
for eczema. Finally our druggist told
us about Saxo Salve. We tried IL and
one and half tubes has entirely
cured her. Her little hands are
smooth and not even SCARED. Mrs.
Mort Stephenson. Lebanon. Ind"

A Happy Event.

1
! For the first time in many years the
Threlkeld and Honeycutt children have
enjoyed d reunion at the old Threlkeld

everything to commemorate the days of

kinds while relating their vivid expe-
riences during the years of separation.
In the evening We gathered in the spa
cious old parlor where we engaged in
playing and singing all the old songs
and chatting over events Of other days.
Mr.. Honeycutt added very much TO the
enjoyment OF the occasion by giving
some OF the sweet old melodies OF the
ante-beIIum days on the old violin he
has owned for many years. Three times
day we gathered around the festal
board to enjoy the delightful feast OF
good things which mother had prepared
to tickle our appetites. To pother this
has been great love feast, as she has

Great Sensation.
One Of the biggest sensations Of the
season was sprung here this week when
il was announced that the young men
OF the society set Of the town had Of
fered their services to Mr.. Koehler, who
has charge OF the concrete walk build
ing here, on account of shortage OF
Workmen, and were now engaged in
shoveling and laying city walks side by
side with other laborers. showing that
they are as worthy Of their hire as their
companions.
In reply to an order from City Engi-
neer Kelly to go ahead, Mr.. Koehler
said that he was just as anxious to do
so, bat that he couldn't find enough
workmen here to carry out the plan.
Saying that he would find some such
perfect gentlemen, Mr.. Kelly, the daunt-
less, dashed madly through the city
streets and landed at the Elks club
room. On the way, however, he met
Pierce Pardue, whom everybody knows
and likes. There's your man, said
Harry Harper, who VAS looking on
Man What do you meanp' inquired
Kelly. / mean that Dove knows how
to work and is not ashamed Of it, re-
spondez vous plat Harry. Is it easy,
Harry2' asked Dove. Harry answered
that it was no soft. So Pierce bethought
him that he would just ais soon work
with the pick and spade at handsome
salary as try to sell Johnny Nixon
English walking suits that he wouldn' t
buy and Charlie Miles neckties. He re-
ferred the matter to John Bell and asked
for collaboration. Now Ding is a mod
est man and had rather conceal himself
in the depths OF 400 h, p. Semones
garage car than be seen by the ladies'
doing something ordinary and common,
80 he put his foot down on it. Mr..
Kelly, however, Kept insisting, and at
length John said that he would 90 with |
any gang to work on the streets on one
condition, and that was that w. T. Har-
ris would GO. Here Mr.. Kelly almost
gave up the ship. That settles it, " he
said sadly But Harry Harper, who is
a man OF great resource and sagacity,
saw better. Wait a minute, = he said,
and disappeared into Dahnke's Cafe TO
pass the time Of day, presumably, with
w. T. He told w. T. that the crowd
on the street was occasioned by a bet
being put up that w. T. Harris was too
proud to work on the city street side by
side with skilled workmen. who said
can't, howled w. 4. Where's my

RULES FOR TITANIC OWNERS
Judge Hough Denies Claim
Based on British Law.

An application made for Titanic
claimant by the law frmsJf Hunt. Hill a.
Belts that the tonnage Of the Titanic be
ascertained In the sense in which tonnage
Is used in the British statutes was denied
yesterday by Judge Hough. who sent a
memorandum on the matter from the
New YORK Hospital. where he is confined
by illness
While the exact thing moved for seemed
very simple, Judge Hough wrote II was
equally true and just as obvious. that
the tonnage OF the lost steamship was
wholly irrelevant to any procedure for
Limitation ofsliablity known to the stat
ute law Of the United States.
II had been argued by counsel for the
applicant that since the Titanic was Brit
ish owned and OF British register her
British owners were not entitled TO all the
benefits or privileges awarded by the stat
utes of the United States. Judge Hough
went on. but II the law Of Great Britain
applied TO all, why should H. not apply all
along the line? II the ship owner could
not limit demands propounded In the
United States i'm accordance with the law
Of the United States, why should he be
compelled 10 pay in the United States
more than he would have been compelled
to pay in Great Britain by all the laws
Of the realm?
But this motion (as arguedi," Judge
Hough said. seeks TO create something
which is neither British nor American
kind of legal centaur which would give
the claimants all the advantages Of both
systems Of law and leave to the ship
