A Great Leader Gone.

EAST BRowNFIELD, April y.
On Monday, April 8, a telegram was
received by Isabel II. Stickney announc-
ing the me-going of Mrs. L. NJ. N. Ste
VEINS, president of the Maine w. C. T. u,
of which Miss Stickney is corresponding
secretary.
While we have felt that Mrs. Stevens
was "Mains's own" by right of birth,
she has really belonged to the patton
and the world by her ability and desire
to serve every land and CLINE in the sup
preston Of the liquor traffic and the bet.

At the time of her going away she was
president of the Maine and National az
we'll az vice president of the Worlds w.
C. T. U.
For thirty years she has made occa-
siOnal visits Of so they can be called) to
this village combining work with pleas
ure. Her last visit was in August, 1918.
Her daughter, Mrs. William Leavitt, has
a summer home here. 1t was her fond
anticipation as we'll as that OF her
friends, that here she might be persuad-
ed to come and "rest WHILE" She has
come little oftener than before, but
could no, be persuaded to take much
needed rest.
Her last public work was in the Wash
ington denomination in December. She
attended the reception given at the
state treasurer's home-ouly stones
throw from her own-on March 1st, her
10th birthday. This was the last of her
leaving her home. Since then she grad
ualy failed until the end, though she
dictated to her stenegrapher as the
work demanded until few hours before
she fell asleep.
The funeral service was at her home
on Wednesday. There was a large at
tendance of white ribboners, some from
Washington, D. c., New York, Connec.
ticut, Boston and different parts of
Maine.
A memorial service is to be held in
City Hall, Portland, April 25. Arrange
ments will be perfected as early as pos
sible.
One great leader has fallen, but the
work goes gloriOusly on.
