IN MEMOR1AM

In sad but loving remembrance OF
my dear son WILLIAM D. Z1MMER-
MAN. who died twelve years ago
yesterday, Dec. Is, 1908.
I often sit and wonder
And think what you would say,
If you only knew the things have
happened
Since you have passed away.
The golden gates were open wide,
A gentle voice said, Come!
And angels from the other side
Welcomed our loved one home.
Have you son? Love him well
While he is spared on earth. :.
Wait not till God has called him home
To know his precious worth.

in quantity of quartered marshmal-
lows.
In making fruit salad. use quartered
marshmallows with pieces Of diced
fruit; made this way it is not so rich
and many prefer it to ordinary salad.

beneath which repeats the wonderful
peacock blue and green tints Of the

that attracts attention for its striking

MRS. MERRILL'S CLOSING LEG
TTRE,

THE thing a woman should aim at
lis to understand her own job in the
home, the ballot may do this for
women but God knows If has not yet
done II Tor man" said Mrs. Anthony
Merrill in her closing talk of Satur-
day, at the home Of Mrs C. A. Ficke
in Davenport when she discussed
some OF the faults and failings of
modern writer's, and their chief OBJ
iect in spilling good ink.
Women should put their shoulders
to the Wheel she went on, and use
their own brain as Arnold Bennett
would say. and gather little children
about them as Rudyard Kipling would
advise"
+ Mrs. Merrill gave her thoughts dur
ing her mornings talk especially to
/ H G. Wells as the modern kaleido-
scope, and she held his writings and
/ his methods up for general and not
too gentle inspection She said she
/ did not entirely agree with Wells.
He is fair sample" she said. of the
modern writer but his stories give
a scientific deIineation rather than
the spiritual side of life; he picks a
flower all TO pieces and tells how it
Lis made but he does not give the
spiritual beauty of the flower. He
does not reach the real core Of life. "
Mrs. Merrill spoke of THE War Of
the Worlds" and When the Sleeper
Wakes" as good examples Of Wells
genius She said that Wells while
toriginal, was at the same time shall
low that he has no great moral re-
lsponsibility or spirituality. His scenes
are wonderfully depicted, but they
lack soul. He is clever but super
fetal
/ The speaker compared the present
with the past ages and cited the age
Of Queen Anne as brilliant for its wit
T and interchange of thought, while our
age is absorbed in itself. Our ideas
are social problems, aud there are
. few ideals and few poets. Efficiency
is the catchword of our age. It is
!. even found in our poems. The ugly
! side Of life is the most often exploit
ed, and the character of the new
gospel reveals the wrongs of our daily
life"
In closing Mrs Merrill paid com
pliment to Miss Alice French who
/ was present, as one Of the writer's who
= stood for the best among the modern
story writer's of the age
She closed her lecture with the
/ thought of Benefits that there is {
