IN MEMORY OF FLOYD LAWHON.
Wife Pays Loving Tribute to Her
Deceased Husband.

In sad but loving remembrance Of
my dear husband, Floyd Lawhon,
who died one year ago today, June
16, 1912.
Oh. l can't, I can't write! l have
tried so often since he went away
from us on that bright June morn
ing, tearing our very heartstrings
with his going, but it seems l just
cannot write of Floyd dead. My ten
der, precious husband and Zyrline'
kind and loving father, the light and
blessing of our happy home. On,
God, how hard to this human heart
of mine. 1 yield with trusting
''even so, Father, for it seemeth good
in thy sight" while this thorn pierces
my heart to the very depths. ON
that Sunday I stood by a coffin-a
coffin that held the dearest form of
noble manhood that, in my eyes, this
world has ever seen; a casket, but
the Jewel had ceased to shine; a

a rare vase, but the rose petals had
fallen so early to the ground; form,
a being to which life was once as
dear as to you and me; but now the
gentle hands were folded, the Won
derful heart of love had ceased to
beat, the precious lips moved not in
answer; he stirred not at all at the
sound of my voice; he was so cold
and still; his eyes did not brighten
at my coming" for they were closed
on earth forever, they told me. (For-
ever! How long does forever
mean?)
Oh, how hard it was to part
With him I loved SO dearly;
The heart no greater trial knows
No sorrow more severe.
What happy days we once enjoyed,
How sweet their memory still,
But they leave an aching void
This world can never fill.
o, Floyd, darling husband true,
How much we loved you never
knew!
How pierced our hearts we can't tell,
But Jesus doeth all things well.

Ancient Skin Trouble Kept Columbia
Man From Degree.
Before a student can be graduated
from Columbia college, in New York
city, he must be able to swim at least
100 feet. Felix Metzger Rosenstock or
the senior class cannot swim at all.
When Rosenstock found recently
that he was in danger of missing his
degree he called on DR.. George l..
Meylan, director of the gymnasium,
and explained that he had a serious
skin disease which would be agra
waited by contact with water in the
university swimming pool.
Bring a note from your doctor to
that effect and I'll o. K. it." said DIR.
Meylan.
A day or two ago Rosenstock brought
this note, signed by physician:

SAVES BOYS LIFE BY A MIRACLE
New York Surgeon Performs Astounding Feat BY Sending
Air Into Uninured Lung Alone.

By a device so unusual that it seem
ed to the surgeons and physicians who
witnessed it more like feat of leger-
domain than one Of the most modern
operations, DR.. James II. Kenyon of
New York city sustained the life of a
supposedly fatally injured boy for two
weeks and brought him through to
what is now predicted will be COM
plete recovery.
The child is John Burkert, seven
years old, of 597 East One Hundred
and Seventeen street, New York city.
A fortnight ago the boy was run down
by a team and was taken to Fordham
hospital in a dying condition.
The house surgeon who examined
the small patient saw that he was in
need Of instant attention and hurried
him into an operating room for exam
ination.
Only Few Minutes to Live.
A glance was sufficient to tell them
that the case, from their point of view,
heavy wagon had crushed in the little
| fellows breast, breaking the collar
bone and driving fractured rib in at
such an angle that it had punctured
one of the lungs. The surgeons busted
| themselves doing the few things that
suggested, but agreed that within ten
! minutes the boy would be dead.

MURDOCH IS HEAD
 OF MOOSE PARTY
Congressman From Kansas NOmi- mated 10 Be Party'S Candidate for Speaker of Lower House
 Women Attend Caucus.

Washington, Apri i.-The un- precedented spectacle of a party legislative caucus being open to the public and attended by women was seen here today when the Progress i've party called its first conference. Representative Murdock of Kansas was nominated as Progressive can didate for speaker of the House.
 The action of the Prosressives is in keeping with the announcement made yesterday by Mr. Murdock when he said that all conferences of the Bull Moose party would be held in the open; that the followers of Teddy had nothing to hide from the public in planning their modus operandi on the floor of the house.
 The most notable feature of the conference was that the women of the party played an important part m the deliberations and offered a number of suggestions for the lead CTS to carry out.
 While the Bull Moosers have no hopes of electing a speaker, the leaders expect to have sufficient weight in the lower house of con- gress to create some stir when im- portant legislative matters are up for consideration.

WIVES THRiFTLESSNESS
 INCREASES LIVING COST
Mrs. Julian Heath, League Presi- dent, Gives Suggestions for Re-
 ducing Household Expenses.

Philadelphia, April 6.-Failure of the American housewife to buy to the best advantage is partly respon- sible for the high cost of living, ac- cording to Mrs. Julian Heath of New York, president of the Housewives League, who spoke yesterday before the annual meeting of the Academy of Political Science.
 It is the duty of the woman to spend what her husband produces In a way to obtain the greatest and most lasting benefit" she said. American housewives have not been doing this; they found they could not do it singly and alone. By combining they already have ac- cOmplished wonders and will ac- cOmplish more"
 Mrs. Heath also said that part of the high cost of living was due to women buying in packages instead of in bulk.
 The consumer pays the cost of the package and the extra cost of handling" she said.

Blew Up a Passenqer Car.

Stockport, England, April 4.-Ex- plosiNes partly wrecked a London & Northwestern railway train near here today. The carriages were al- most empty and nobody was in- jured.
 Suifragettes were suspected of the wreeking, in revenge for the con- viction of Mrs. Pankhurst.
 The damaged train was empty ex- cept for employees. It contained r cars, and the supposed bomb went off i'll a third-class carriage in the rear. Examination showed the car had been saturated with resin and fragments of a torn powder canis- ter were found. Railway officials say they are certain suffragettes were responsible.

persisted in his determination to re- move all duty on sugar.
 In turn they offered as a compro- mise the suggestion to the president that he indorSe a one cent duty on sugar for three years, with the pro- Viso that sugar be made duty free at the end of that period, if in the presidents opinion it at that time was advisable It was pointed out to the president that it would en- able him to investigate the claim that a great industry would be ruined by the removal of duty and told him he would be able to insist just as strongly upon free sugar then if he saw fit, as he is doing now.
 Although the delegation was in conference with the president more than an hour, he gave no intimation as to whether he would consider their offer of compromise.
