THE VILLAGE AUTOSMITH

Under a horSeless-chestnut tree
The town garage now stands,
Bill Smith, who runs the business, he
Hath large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong enough-my lands!
His hair is crisp and black and short,
His face is caked with oil;
His brow is wet with grease-and yet
l do not think he'll spoil;
He looks fellow in the face
And chargeth for his toll.
A counghing automo machine,
1t limpeth to the door.
There's something wrong about it's
spleen
Else why thai snort and snore
That issueth from in between
It's under wheels or fore?
Big Bill, the kindly autosmith,
He takes the thing apart,
And tenderly he monkeys with
That automobiles heart
Until-O man of skillsome pith!-
He makes its pulse start.
The children coming home from
school
Look in at the open door.
They like to see the autosmith
Recline upon the floor
Beneath the car and grunt, "By gar.
This carburetor's sore"
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy
friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught!
Next time l drive this old beehive
I'll try not to be caught
Ten miles from town with the tires
run down
And the axle steel unwrought.

Tribute to a Good Woman

On March the Is, 1915. Mary
Westbrook, daughter of Milas and
Frances Mccullough, and wife of w.
Herbert Westbrook, died at Lockhart
after lingering for several months.
Her suffering at times was seven &.
but she bore it all in quiet resig-
nation, never murmuring word
She assured her pastor that she was
perfectly resigned to Gods will.
She was happily married to w. H.
Westbrook on March 1S, 1908. To
this union was born five children:
Louise, Ralph, Christine, and Mau-
rice, who survive her. The baby
died two days before she did.
In the death of sister Westbrook,
the church has been bereft of one of
her most useful and pious members.
She was teacher of class in Sun
day school. She was devoted to her
work as teacher. 1t was an assis-
tance to her husband, who is Super
intendent of the Sunday school in the
Methodist church at Lockhart.
In the death of sister Westbrook,
the community is bereft of one of it's
most charitable neighbors; she was
always Ieduy W Help CIle SICK ana
needy. All speak of her in the high
est praise. 1t was never inconven-
lent for her to entertain Gods SER
wants. Many preachers shared the
hospitality of her home. She will be
missed.
AS her body was carried out of her
home in the beautiful, white casket,
an emblem of her spotless life, her
heart-broken husband felt the stroke
as no other, the loss of devoted wife
and the children, the loss of one of
the most tender and devoted of moth
ers. How sad it was to hear them
crying for mother, now dead.
But her work is done. and she rests
In the bosom of her God. 70 her
death had no sting, for her life was
ray of sunbeams, and her death
was as the setting of the sun in its
beauty, sending back it's beautiful
halo.
