DEATH OF ". B. HENRY.
CONTINUED from page II


ed his arm on the back of the seat
with his head in his hand, and gave
the chord for the song, his voice
was clear but weak. They under
took to carry him to Mrs. Cogdill's,
when they got him out OF the house
he asked them to let him down
wanted to see whether he could
walk. But he could not.
Maybe God didn't intend him to
sing this song. He was too near
the land where the bells don't toll;
where the death angel never smites;
where choirs don't break up in grief;
but where the united hosts choir a
deathless melody, the bells ring out
eternity's New Year, and the cross
of Christ harmonizes it all.
Bro. Henry called back to his
wife pleasantly that morning that he
would not be back to dinner. His
children heard him sing on his way.
Reader, live in readiness for
deaths call. Get up at morning as
if it were the last call, eat as it if
were the last meal, work as if it
were the last days work, leave
home as if it were the last time,
sing as if it were the last song.
At 1885 next morning Bro. Hen
ry died at the home of Mrs. Cogdill,
after being faithfully attended by
physicians. He was buried with
Masonic honors at the "Old Field"
graveyard.
Over a valley rests the curse of
death, the carcasses of beasts and
birds are strewn over it; everything
that walks or flies over it falls a
victim. An eagle descends from
the high cliffs, careers defiantly
above the death-stl icken area,
perches upon the carcass of a lion,
sleeps and dreams; then mounts the
air with a scream Of triumph and
passes out of sight. He had DIR, nix
of the elixir of life trickling from a
cliff of the highest peak.
This world was the death-cursed
valley, Will Henry's soul was the
elgle, Calvary was the mountain
peak. j. J. GRAY.

HOW TO LIVE WELL ON MOTH

Cleaned from the Daily Exchanges.
In the investigation of the Com
mission intrying to establish a Mini
mum Wage scale in Chicago, VIM
c. Ihorne of Montgomery Ward and
Company, on the witness stand
brought out the following facts,
that, that mail order house en-
ploys 1878 girls, the Montgomery
Ward and Company for the past
fiscal year were $2,370,OO0, and
from the tabulated report of the ex-
penses of two girls, who have only
themselves to care for and who are
working for the Company at the
wages of $500 per week, ones act
ual, necessary living expenses were
room rent $500 board $2.70, car
fare $50 clothing and incidentals
$1.70, which takes the entire earn
ings and leaves this girl without a
cent to spend for necessary recrea-
ton or to lay by for a rainy day
Anothe girl, who is a little more
fortunate is able by hard work and
close living to save the magnificent
and princely sum of two bits pei
week.
And some of these girls do not
earn as much as eight dollars a
week, and yet Mr.. Thorne says that
he does not believe the yarns tina
the girls 90 wrong because they
cannot make a living otherwise
He objects to spending $75,00(
a year to increase the wage
of his employees, which if don
would enable them to live bette
and save a little money and woul
still keep the profits of his concer
$290,00O about the two million
mark. He excuses himself on tn
grounds that Montgomery War
and Company, already spend tn;
amount on pensions and he protes
that he and his Company are vel
much interested in the welfare
