had to succumb to his malady Wednes-
day evening at about 5 o'clock. He
had suffered with weak lungs for
years, and could not stand the strain.
His remains were kept over until the
following Wednesday, sfor the arrival of
bis son, Bob Rowe, to come from San
Francisco, Cal, where he 10 engaged

by overt act. When true friendship

nothing that can destroy it. There is

of friendship and friendship is the very
soul of sincerity. Insincerity in the
world causes more Indifference and
creates more unhappiness than any
other thing. Insincerity digs more
graves and buries more friendship than
any thing else in the world. AS friend
ship is a plant of slow growth, SO
when it once ceases to be felt it leaves
a vacancy which nothing can fill.
True friendship is the best thing in
human life; it is unselfish and kind.
How careful we should be of our
friendships lest we wound chem.
Without friendship we would be very
miserable. Suppose we all learn this
