Ali! on Thanksgiving Day when from
 east and from west,
 From north and south, come pilgrim
 and guest,
 When the gray y-haired New Englander
 Sees round his b ,aId
 The old broken linl S ot affection re-
 stored;
 When the care wearied man seeks his
 mother once more,
 And the worn matron smiles where the
 girl smiled before. What moistens the lips and what
 brightens the eye?
 What calls back the past like the rich
 pumpkin pie? -Whittier.

 It is, with sadness we record the death of Ruth Lamb which occurred at her home Tuesday afternoon, Nov. IT. She had been confined to her bed for the past three weeks suffering from pneumonia. Ruth was loved by her schoolmates and teachers and in fact
 
 of remarkably bright sunny disposition and during her illness was sweet and patient to the end. Her illness and death have cast gloom over the entire school and leaves a vacancy there and at her home that can never be forgot ten. Everything was done for her that loving hands and nursing could do but God in his wisdom has recalled the flower he gave for so short time. The funeral was held at her home Friday at 3 p. m., Rev. MT. Burlington off, ciated. Interment in Hillside Ceme- tery. The funeral was one of the largest witnessed here for some time which spoke of the love and esteem in which she was held. It was sad sight to see the many weeping faces of the schoolmates who came to bid Ruth their last farewell on this earth The flowers were many and beautiful, but the most beautiful flower of them all was Ruth herself, as she lay i'll her snow white casket, surrounded every where by blossoms given by loving friends an1 schoolmates. She looked like a lily iii her youth and purity. Ruth was the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Arthur Lamb and was twelve years of age. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the entire community, not only in this, but th9 surrounding towns, extended to them in their loss.
 "God in His wisdom has recalled,
 The precious boon, His love had
 given,
 An1 though the casket's resting there,
 The gem is sparkling now i'll Heaven"
