JOURNEYS END
Andrew c. Brink Expired at His
Home In Pierre, December Is.

At 1880 on Tuesday, surrounded by
his children, and while yet enraptured
with the world, the life work of An
drew G. Brink was ended and his spirit
passed to the great beyond.
For . number of days Mr..
Brink had been an exceedingly i'll man,
and for two weeks his life had been
despaired Of. At first his illness was
not considered serious. but later COM
plications arose with the result that a
paralytic stroke made it more evident
that his chances Of recovery were I'M
certain. He had reached the age Of Sc
years, 8 months and 2 days. His last
illness dates from September %, this
year. For the past nine days he had
been q sufferer of cerebral hemmor-
hage, which was the immediate cause
of his death.
MIR. Brink g home life was ideal. He
%worshipped his family, and never deni-
ed them anything within his power
which would conduce to their pleasure
and enjoyment. He VAS a lifelong
member of the Baptist church society,
and an ardent enthusiast in the growth
and welfare of that society. His ac-
quaintances. everywhere, will regret to
learn of his death, and whose sympa-
thies will go to his children in the hour
of bereavement; his wife preceded him
to the grave six years ago.
The funeral services took place from
the family home yesterday afternoon,
at 3:15. The service was conducted by
Rev. r. l.. Kelley. pastor of the First
Baptist church, who delivered a brief
but impressive address. Mrs. Laird.
Miss Hunkins, A. H. Youngs and G. s.
Stevens sang the hymns Lead Kindly
Light" and asleep in Jesus favor
lite hymns of Mr.. Brink. Miss Hunkins
sang q solo, Pace to Face with God,
and H. c. Quackenbush also sang a
solo. The casket was garlanded with
beautiful flowers, gifts Of friends, sent
to express their sympathy to the be-
wv M EnN-
reaved relatives. in their sorrow for
the untimely death of their father.
The pail bearers were Messrs. A.. W..
Ewert, D. D. Oldaker, L. J. butcher,
and A. II. Youngs. Interment was in
Riverside Cemetery. Both services at
the home and at the grave were largely
attended. All the business houses in
the city were closed during the funeral
hours.
Mr.. Brink came to Pierre in 1887,
when he became the owner of large in
terests in and about Pierre. During his
lifetime he was an enthusiast, and
seemingly lever became a bit tired of
advocating the future greatness Of this
city; he was generous in gifts toward
in the city and in extend
ing her commercial interests. Proba-
bly, no individual has done more in this
direction than he.

F MORTALITY.

At the recent international
congress for the consideration
of means for Iessening infantile
mortality, Hon. Nathan Straus,
the New York philanthropist,
said that nearly half of the in
fants that die In America are
the victims of improper feeding.
If It 20 considered that resist
anse to disease, in infants as in
adults, Is dependent primarily
upon proper nutrition, in which
food is fundamental, the per-
centage Of infantiIe deaths re-
sulting from other causes than
improper feeding, is seen to be
comparatively small. If half the
effort spent on so-calied scien-
tifio cooking Instruction were de-
voted to teaching the art of
feeding adults and infants natur-
ally the results would be in
finiteIy better.

THE Gulls and the Crackers meet
in the final tangle this after
noon-that is, if the weather is
even halfway decent. Early in the
Afternoon the prospects were good that
the game would be played. And, for a
pleasing change, even if it is Satur-
day afternoon. the game will be called
at the usual time and will go to a
decision.
The fates forbid that it be another
knock out.
One fan sized up yesterdays game
pretty well when he said:
well. that's my idea of WHITE
WASH"
1t was all of that and more be-
sides
The Gulls won, to 0. and they
did it with such ease that they made
the Crackers look like the tail-enders
of a Glass D league.
ITS 8 hard matter not to acquire a
crouch over a game like that No
matter how one attempts to wax flip
pant and facetious, the waxing isn't
any good at all.
1t was a gloomy contest
At that, there were fielding spots
of amazing brilliancy.
Wally Smith fielded like a worlds
champion. Bisland, despite two er-
rors, almost evened up by some bril-
liant work Stock had brilliant day.
and he did it in spite of the fact that
Chapman nearly took his head of
with a batted ball, which would have
taken the pep" out of an ordinary
player.
Hogg pitched another grand game
for Mobile.
The last time he was here he beat
Atlanta 6 to 0.
Yesterday he won. to 0.
However, he must be getting bet
ter for the last time he allowed six
hits. while this time, he gave up only
three.
And it was an awful day for At
lanta's records, for Chapman made
two out of the three hits, while the
big batting stars, Long. Welchonce
and Smith. went hitless.
.nF course, it would hurt to be
~ beaten by the Mobile at any
time. But 1t hurts, especially now
that the Gulls are crippled and very
much weakened.
If the Crackers can't win from them
now. what chance have they when
the 8Gulls get back in condition. as
they are bound TO do soon? This is

what the fans are asking themselves.
and it's a serious question.
THE pitching of Dent was a bright
feature After Brady was knocked
out Dent took up the burden and
carried 1t well. The Gulls' only run
after he went in resulted from a hit
and an error
This chap also made a nice play
at the plate when Stock tried to
score on what looked like a passed
ball Chapman fielded II and Dent
received the throw and tagged Stock
out. risking his legs and his neck in
doing it. 1t was a game, clever
piece of work

- played at home after the Gulls
