Obituary..

Died at San Antonio, Texas, Novem-
Der q, 1914, Miss Oma billiard, eldest
daughter of DR.. Henry T. and Mrs.
Mamie B. billiard, and interned in the
family lot, Oakland Cemetery, Shreve-
port, November 30th, attended by a
loved circle of relatives and friends.
In this passing from life, we mourn the
loss of one of the loveliest of Earth. One
characterized by the best traits and
graces of splendid young womanhood,
endeared alike to family and friends,
and we sigh that one so lovely should
have life so brief"
To the grief-stricken brother and sis
tiers we offer our tenderest sympathy in
this sad hour of bereavement,
"When the year was at the Spring,
And the day was at the morn"
But we must be comforted by the holy
assurance that the dead are blessed that
die in the Lord, and that she has entered
into that rest -unbroken by any Earring
note-there to dwell for the unending
ages, stWhere no storms ever break on
the glittering sands and the years Of
Eternity roll.''
alright be the place of thy soul!
No lovelier spirit than thine
Fer burst from its mortal control,
To the orbs of the blessed to shine"
A FRIEND.

Marvellous Coincidencs.

The following story was told by a
famous New York wit recently: A
party of skaters We're once progressing
at considerable speed down q certain
frozen river in Canada when. to the
horror of his companions. one of the
party was seen to skate stra ight into
q hole i'll the ice. Before he could stop
himself he had fallen through it. ana
the sharp edge of the ice cut his head
clean off his shoulders. The speed ri
which he was going, however. caused
his head to skim along the top of the
ice. while the rest of his body travelled
at an equal speed beneath it, until. by
a stroke of good luck, the severed por-
tons met at another hole farther down
and joined so exactly that the nnfor-
tunate man came out of his accident
with nothing worse than a severe cold.

All experience evinces that human
sentiments are strongly affected by as
sociations. The recurrence Of anniver
saries or of longer periods of time nat
urally freshens the recollection and
deepens the impression of events with
which they are historically connected.
Renowned places also have power to
awaken feeling which all acknowledge
No American can pass by the fields Of
Bunker Hill, Monmouth and Camden
as If they were ordinary spots on the
earth's surface Whoever visits them

rendered these places distinguished still
lowered round with power to move and
excite all who in future time may APP
