But first tried calling.
 sAhoy, there below, John!'' I called through the dark. At first there came no answer, and again I shouted. At this saw the door of the dining sa- loon pushed open, and John himself thrust out his hand.

Some wicked thief has sneaked off
with two pairs of shoes and the
5undayest brooches that Charlie
Freyer had, so he feels like refusing
invitations to all Christmas festi-
yities. But he has a book that is
perfectly unique The binding is Of
finest art paper and on the front is
an army marching. The book is
about the present war in Europe, but
every page is blank. A loose leaf
IN the back contains praises of the
book from many prominent citizens
Of Atlanta whose names are spelled
all sorts of ways but are easily de-
ciphered.

IN MEMORIUM.
EDITH.

In memory of Nesbitt Osborn, who
lied December 10Th, 1914.
Like beautiful fragrant flower,
Just opening to the morning sun,
In a dear home, a lovely bower,
His youthful years had just be-
gun.
Like the gardeners gentle hand
That gathers the flowers most
sweet;
In early youth came our angel
band
With heavenly music, earth to
greet.
And as dawned the Sabbath Day,
The holy day that God has blest,
Angels bore his spirit away
To his Savior in the land of rest.
He was noble youth with lovely
traits,
One in whom goodness and beauty
blend,
Prepared to pass through the
pearly gates
Where rest, sweet rest shall never
end.
Sleep on, dear Nesbitt, thy trou-
ble's Ger,
No stormy winds thy soul shall
blight,
Thy spirit rests on a fairer shore,
No more pain or death
Ais love and light.
Again We'll meet thee some sweet
day
When life's weary journey here is
Der
And angels bear our spirits away
To the land where parting is no
more.
And when your loved ones one by
one
Ger the turbulent stream have
passed,
May they hear the dear voice with
accents mild
Saying "All Gathered safe home at
last"
