the fair brow Of Miss Mana Marion
on Wednesday the oath inst. at
noon and claimed his victim, after
days Of pain and suffering. that was
borne with a soldiers fOrtitude.
Knowing that it could only be a
matter Of a few days, until she
passed away. as disease had claim
ed her strength and vitality some
time ago and she had been pract-
cally an invalid for weeks, yet the
whole community received the in
telligence Of her death as a shock.
Miss Mana was the eldest daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs Wiley Marion
possessing an unusual share Of ma
lures endowments, refinement,an d
culture, kindness Of heart and hav-
ing the power to make and hold
friends, welding an influence for
good among all with whom she as
ISOLATED.
Any social function for years was
not complete without the quick wit,
bright repartee and happy face of
Miss Mana, and for weeks her seri-
GUS condition has aroused the sym
pathies of a score of friends. and
many tokens were left in the home
to brighten her otherwise dark days
of pain.
To say that she will be missed
but feebly expresses the vacancy
her going away has caused
A few years ago, Mana, a mere
girl seemed to have more than the
usual amount of vitality and having
an abundance of energy entered
into very active exercises, but like
thief in the night disease fastened
its fangs in her system, and just as
she buds into wOmanhOod the
threads of life snaps and she goes
away and leaves her parents, grand
parents, brothers snd sisters and a
host Of friends to grieve for her.
How sad this is cannot be told and
only time can bring any comfort to
the bereft.
The beautiful, short life of Miss
Mana will ever be to those who
knew and loved her, a sweet mem
DRY, for her splendid traits of char
acter and her ability to charm all
who knew her stand out in the lime
light and reveal to US the fact that
God claims for His own even the
brightest, and most desired ones.
That there may come a sweet peace
to this bright, beautiful character
that has passed over the river may
be as a beacon light pointing out
the way to Heaven, for others who
are stumbling along needless of the
fact that we must all pass this
way" is the sincere wish of the wri-
ter of these few expressions Of re-
gret and sorrOw that the short
young life of Mana had to be cut
of, thus casting a gloom over the
entire town.
The remains were laid away at
Houston cemetery and she sleeps
beneath a bank of flowers, tokens
of esteem and love.

Food 70, THOUGHT.

There are tragedies being enact
ed right at our doors, if only we
dared see them. On one side, a
mother is suffering a slow, dying
pride, because of her inability to
give to her children what society
demands. On the other hand a
father is losing his self respect by
going head over ears in debt to give
to his fashion crazed wife all that
she demands. On the other side,
a fair young girl is drifting along
without sail or rudder, because no
one at home or abroad has given
a word Of sympathy or advice. No
one has offered a helping hand that
her ife-boat may heed the right di-
rectiOn and keep its course. Then
anOther-a bright promising young
boy runs up like a reed, is storm
tossed on the river-of-nothing-to-
dO"-loses ambition before it has
had an opportunity to take a firm
hold on his life-his parents are
waiting until he is grown to see
how proud they will be of him
but never once Showing him how ito
grow to manbOod-a gentlemtn'
and how to lay each stone in the
upbuild of his character that there
will be no weak places-nO regrets
mo duty left undOne. If we each
and every one Of US will act well
our parts-everY day-dOing the
duty that lieth nearest us, these
tragedies will not be acted out with
us as star actors in the drama.

STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, March 20.-The week
end session was largely dominated
by a further rise in Bethlehem Steel
shares to Sc, a gain of AZ points, and
a maximum advance of 9A from its
low quotation of the previous day.
On the surface the Sensational advance
IN the stock, which was made mainly
on small individual transactions, sug-
gesting a drive against the short in
terest. Rumor, however, attributed
the high record for this stock to more
potent Influences. The balance of the
list manifested a strong undertone,
being unaffected by the latest news
from Europe. Motor shares and some
of the department store specialties
figured to an unusual degree in the
days gains Bonds were steady, ex-
cept New York Central 6s, which re-
peated their low price on free trading
1920 a. m.-Another spectacular
rise in Bethlehem Steel was
the chief feature of today's
early operations. Trading in that
stock during the first half hour
approximated $1,000 shares. its top
price being So, new high record and
an overnight gain of AZ points. Its
closing quotation a week ago was
54$4. Standard stocks also were fairly
active at a general gain over yester-
days close. Department store issues
rose from l to 4 points. U. S. Steel
came out in large individual transac-
tions at steady advance.

ITALY To BREAK
TRIPLE ALLIANCE

ROME, March 20.-Italy is prepar-
ing to denounce the triple alliance
treaty linking her with Austria and
Germany, according to reports from
various sources yesterday afternoon.
Baron Sonnino, minister Of foreign
affairs. it is reported, is making ready
to take this drastic step to force AUS
tfia to cede territory to Italy or face
ltaly's participation in the war on the
side of the allies.
The majority of the Rome news
papers today warned the public that
a crisis in the Austro-Italian relations
is near at hand. The Messagero ap-
peared with the fat announcement
that Prince Won Buelow's efforts to
obtain concessions from Austria have
failed and that the foreign minister
is now actively engaged in negotia-
tons that may plunge Italy into war.
Officials positively admitted that the
situation had grown more grave in
the last twenty-four hours. Vague
rumors that important messages had
been received from Berlin today by
the German embassy were circulated
in diplomatic circles.
That military trouble with Austria
Is inevitable unless Emperor Francis
Joseph returns to Italy all Austrian
districts inhabited by Italians, the
newspapers Tribuna and Giornala
d'Italia asserted in vigorous editorials
today.
