BUCHANAN.

Catharine Cardela. the little daugh
ter OF Marvin and Alice Hobson
born May 14th. departed from this
life Saturday morning. May 81, Lit
tie Cathern Is no doubt In Heaven.
God above sent an Angel and took
her to that beautiful city where no
partings ever come. Remember God
said; Suffer little children come un-
to me, forbid them not for such Is
the kingdom OF Heaven. Enemies
they have none, their lives are pure.
To see them is to love them. Then,
why should we weep for that prec-
ious little one who has lived life
so pure?
Funeral services were conducted
at Buchanan chapel by the Rev. C.
l.. Neff. after which that old song
Near My God To Thee was sung
and the funeral procession marched
out to the cemetery where the re-
mains were placed TO await the res
direction morn.
We know not what It Is dear.
This life SO deep and still,
The folded hands the awful calm;
The cheeks so pale and chill.
The lids that will not lift again,
Though one may call and call.
The strange white solitude Of
peace,
That settles over all.

WOman'S Club

The Womaus Club held its annual
meeting Monday evening. The reports
from the dsfferent officers were read. The
treasurer's report showed a good bal
ance on hand at the close of successful
years work.
! Club voted to appropriate one-hundred
dollars toward furnishing the new Public
Library, and twenty-five dollars to be
used in finishing a room in the basement
OF the Library. The intention is to use
this room for public resting place. 1t
may be thought best to devote it to
some other purposes.
Twenty-Five dollars will only start the
ball in motion but the Club women hope
that as it rolls it will increase in size as
does the ball of snow until there shall
have comfortable, we'll appointed room
tor the use of tired shoppers or for those
who, in the absence OF such a room, are
forced to loaf upon our streets while
waiting for the wheels of business to
turn.
The placing of an order for a Lecture

end that such course seems an assured
fact. AS soon as details have been ar
ranged public announcement will be
made. The present board of officers was
reelected as follows:

Choral Union

Among the artists who will APPEAR t
the coming Musical Festival is Elizabeth
de Cant, soprano. Miss de Cant made
her debute as professional singer Apr.
6, at The Little Theater, New York City,
receiving $3.50 for one appearance. The
opportunity ofhearing singer Of such
ability is most rare in Morrisvillc and
that the music lovers in this section will
welcome the opportunity thus afforded
goes without saying.
Reference to the festival brings a re-
mipder that each one should get out his
orl her copy of Longfellow and refresh the
mind on the old familiar poem, "The
Week of thefHesperus," the poem which
graced the pages OF many an old time
reading book and proved a stumbling
block in the path of lads and lassies in
eve old district school," The musical
rendering of this well known poem will
constitute one of the most pleasing NUN.
bers Of the festival. Set to music by
Thomas Auderton, it is woven INTO a
charming cantata, with soprano, tenor
and bass solos and numerous chorus pas
sages, and with vocal and orchestral
score SO admirably adapted to the char
acter of the poem that the audience can
not fail to appreciate this temperance
of arnold acquaintance in new garb.
AS will be remembered, the poem
graphically describes terrible storm at
sea, resulting in the wreck of the schoon.
er, Hesperus, with all on board; follow
ing which, the body of the shippers little
daughter is found, dashed close to
drifting mast" The cantata closes with
final appeal of the poem; Christ save us
all from death like this, on the reef of
Norman's Wool"
Perhaps the most difficult work that |
will be attempted by the chorus thisyear,
is in selections from "The Loreley" an |
opera by the great composer Mendel-
sohn. The story of 1.-THE Loreley" is
that of Lenora, the daughter of a small
nnkeeper on the Rhine, who has met in
1er lonely wanderings a huntsman, with
whom she falls in love. This huntsman
who is the Count Palatine, returns her
owe, but conceals from her his rank.
Previous to his meeting with Lenora,
he count has become betrothed to
for whom he finally forsakes
lis love OF lowly rank, the parting tax
ng place just at sunset, when is heard
he singing of the ARE Maria" one of
he sweetest choruses in the opera.

Dried Peas as Liver Pills.

An enterprising swindler in England
has recently been arrested for selling
dried peas as little liver pills" They
were sold on the assurance that they
we're excellent medicine" OF course,
dried peas are not an excellent medi-
cine" neither will they cure liver
trouble" but the same may be said Of
the many liver pills which contain
drugs and are sold under claims even
more fraudulent. The British swind-
Ter should have been better informed.
When he desires to sell oliver pills"
he should put some drugs in them
noisonous or otherwise, the kind
doesn't matter. Then he can lie
about his product to his hearts con-
tent and he will be immune from ar
rest. In fact, If he can sell enough or
them he may look forward to a peer
age. In Great Britain, as in the Unit
ed States. it is not the mere act OF
swindling but the method that proves
dancerous.-V'rom the Journal Of the
American Medical Association.

Ranks Thinning Rapidly.

1t is indeed sad to observe what
great inroads death has made in the
ranks of the Confederate veterans
within the past few years. Here and
there a death is announced which con-
stantly reminds US that the old soldiers
are steadily passing away, but one is
brought face to face with how few re-
main in looking over large audiences
and noting the small number who are
present. When the exercises celebra-
ting the birthday of General Lee were
held in the Baptist church Saturday af-
ternoon only one veteran was present,
several who attended year ago hav-
ing Joined their comrades on the other
shore since that time.
There are left to the sons and daugh-
ters of veterans but few years IN
which to honor the men who wore the
gray uniform. and it behooves US not
to lose an opportunity of contributing
to heir comfort and pleasure. Edge
field sent as gallant men to the Civil
war as ever drew sword or shoulder
ed a gun, and they richly deserve
every honor that can be heaped upon
them.

Many Soldiers In Munich.

One cannot walk half a square In
Munich without hearing the clank OF
q sword. It makes one think of two
things, preparedness and taxes. The
German officer and soldier is omni'
present. He looms up before you, In
his close-ftting gray coat and hlgn
red collar, at the theater, the opera
the concert, the cafe-everywhere.
He passes your window, perhaps in
the morning at the head of COM
pany of soldiers, all of them singing
a rousing marching song at a rapid
cadence. And it is the singing soldier
who interests one the most. His song
Is unlike anything we hear at home.
One hundred of him marching down
q hard granite street at sunrise, with
the tramp Of many feet marking the
time Of the song, will get anyone out
of bed. The song has way of halt
ing here and there for a brief inter-
val. In the middle Of pnrase it sud-
denly rests, while three or four re-
sounding steps ring out on the pave
ments. And then the song goes on
again until it dies away in the dis
tance.
