A Tribute.

Died suddenly at her home, near New
Zion last Fridav night, January the
23rd, Mrs. Carrie Belle Baker, in the
3 wear of her age. She was the devoted
wife of Mr.. Robert Baker. A dear good
woman and beloved by all who kuew
her. Our entire neighborhood was sad
dened when it became known that she
had passed into that greal beyond. 0,
how her loved ones missed that morn
ing her presence, that face so bright
with smiles. When they gathered IN
around that beside and no voice OF her
was heard. She leaves an infant only
pine weeks old, besides heartbroken
husband, and an aged father, two
brothers and three sisters, 4 host OF
OF relatives and friends to mourn her
uutimely departure:
Here today. gloriied and emulated
by the echoes of her noble attributes.
we know that when the reaper, death
touched those eyelids into sleep there
gathered a silence on the lips of one
who was mild and gentle, one whose
life and conversation we're distinguish
ed by godliness.
We have loved to follow and we love
to follow now the pathway she pointed
to us: it flashed like an inspiration.
Her great ambition was to live and
lead a Christian life that was the bless
ing and comfort OF her days:
If I should seek to touch the inward
sourch of all her love and devotion, l
should place my hand upon her heart.
There was the furnace. Love bore her
message to her husband and infant. No
fire that can be kindled can relume the
radiant spark that has perished away
just one week ago.
0, dear, loving Belle, we laid for a
season thy precious dust beneath the
soil that bore and cherished thee, but
we fling back against our dark and
sombre skies the thoughtless speech
that calls thee dead.
God reigns and His purpose lives,
and though thy lips are silenced here,
the seed of thy fruitful loving influence
and care will spring up and bear fruits
age through the years to come. In our
lives the greatest next to the radiance
that flows from the Almighty's Throne,
is the light OF your noble and beautiful
life shining in benediction upon your
loved ones here below.
She was member OF the Manning
Methodist church since girlhood days,
and had only been married about Two
wears. She was laid to rest in the fam
ily burying ground beside her mother
who predeceased her TO the grave only
five weeks ago. The calls to their
Heavenly Father who made Gods Will
be done.
The Rev. G. P: Watson her pastor
conducted the funeral services. There
was large concourse of sorrow!ng
friends and relatives. The flowers laid
upon her grave were numerous and
beautiful.
Gone but not forgotten"
Never will her memory fade,
Loving Thoughts will always linger,
Around the spot where she is laid.
''Flowers laid upon her grave may
wither aud decay,
But love for her who sleeps beneath
will never fade away.
ALMA.

Cut out and burn all the dead canes
In the blackberry and raspberry
bushes.
Fruit trees that have been planted
late must be tied to stakes with broad

In handling fruit, careful and sys-
tematic sorting is Of the greatest in

Cabbages hung up by the roots in
the cellar will keep for two or three
months.
Too much water in the soil prevents
the deep root development Of plants.
There is a great deal Of humanity
in axle grease.
Corn has been successfully and
,prohtably utilized by permitting the
hogs to harvest the crop.
Honey is not only healthful but a
tasty" food.
The common wild elder has been
furnishing an abundance of fruit for
pies and jelly this season, besides be-

Modern Society Arrogance.

Manners seem to be largely q mat
ter Of individual preference since there
Is so little harmony in opinion. A wo-
man who condemns praise Of pretty
gown or becoming hat on the score
Of bad taste will openly critlcise her
neighbor for acts which are not to her
liking. This Is, on the whole, a great
deal Of arrogance shown in setting up
a standard and expecting the rest Of
humanity to follow it.-Exchange.

shepherdlne Healthy Occupation.

Shepherds enjoy extraordinarily
good health. 1t Is not simply mat
ter Of the open air, the farmers do
not show a bill Of health nearly as
clean. Doctors have suggested that
the reason lies In the fact that the
strong odor Of the sheep has an anti
septic influence and kills of stray
germs. The odor Is supposed to be
particularly good for whooping cough,
and in sheep rearing district moth
ers often send ailing children to play
among the sheep when whooping cough
Is about.
