Margaret TomIin is Dead.

After a life OF suffering Miss Mar
garet Tomlin died Wednesday night
at $3.50 of liberation of the bowels.
Four years ago she came here from
Kansas City for her health and it
seemed at times that she was on her
way to recovery. But her case proved
beyond medical means.
The writer has known Miss Tomlin
for many years. She was one girl
among a thousand. No more beauti-
full human character has ever passed
this way. The world has not been
good to her, for her whole life has
been one of suffering, but the world
is better that she lived in it, Her
path all the way has been one of love
and loveliness. Goodness was in her
soul and wherever she went she radi-
ated it. Its beneficent rays gladdened
the hearts of all. She was a helper
and a messenger of joy. She gave
more than she received, was much
loved and will be much missed. Mar
garet Tolnlin exemplified, every day,
to a marked degree, that Christ life
which is the ideal rather than the
practice of us all.
Mrs. John Tomlin was with her
when she died, and will leave this
evening for Kansas City with her re-
mains.
Goodbye, Margaret. While much
suffering you were much loved, and
your patient and bright life will prove
lasting good to all who came within
the circle of your influence. The
writer and his family feel that the
close touch of your life with ours has
been an inspiration and great bless
ing. You have shown us how the love
and patience of Christ may be exem-
pliiied in human life.

The Poacher's Paradise.

(In the mountain regions of Ken
lucky and Tennessee, if we may trust
the stories related by Charles Egbert
Craddock and John Fox, Jr., game
and revenue laws are anathema and
legitimate mark of the mountaineer's
rifle;J while public sympathy with the
criminal and fear of his vengeance
make his conviction almost impossi-
BILE. How thankful should we be
that we live in a civilized commun-
ity, where human life is sacred, re-
ishment for it's infraction is swift and
certain, and where such events as are
narrated in this old ballad could not
possibly occur.)
II know place among the hills
Where poachers. need not dread
The Laws restraint upon their wills:
The game warden is dead.
I know some happy hunting grounds
Where game laws are forgot;
The game warden upon his rounds
No more disturbs this spot.
l know hidden mountain nook,
Where, far from haunts of men,
His ready gun poacher took
And slew the game warden.
l know a jury, tried and true,
That, to a ,man, agreed
Such crimes no poacher needs to rue
If "self-defense" he plead.
| know darkened house that weeps
For one it ne'er again
Shall see come homeward, down the
sleeps,
The valiant game warden.
