RECENT DEATHS


The sad news reached here Sunday
of the death at her home in La Grange,
ILL.,. on Saturday afternoon of Laura,
wife of William c. Tyler. The news
was not unexpected as Mrs Tyler hao
been in falling health for some weeks
and her last illness was accompanied
by intense suffering night and day,
which she bore with great patience
and courage. Laura Leland Brooks
was born in Shebrooke. p. O., Sept.
21, 1859, being the oldest daughter of
DR.. and Mrs. S. 7. Brooks. The fam
lily came to st. Johnsbury in 1861 and
the daughter went through the public
schools and was graduated from St.
Johnsbury academy in the class of '79.
On Aug. 26, 1884, she married William
c. Tyler of ST. Johnsbury and they
lived here for the next 20 years, dur
ing which time Mrs. Tyler was espec-
tally active in church work, valued
contributor to the musical life of the
town, and a most welcome member in
social circles. About 10 years ago the
family moved to Chicago, to the deep
regret of all their friends, and a few
years later moved to La Grange where
they have since made their home. Mrs
Tyler was even more active in all good
ticularly interested in the missionary
work of the Congregational church,
and was soon elected president of the
Illinois Branch of the Woman's Board
of the Interior. Her devotion to this
work overtaxed her strength and un-
dermined her health, but her love and
interest in the life of her ideal home
and in the highest things in life never
waned until the end came. OF the five
daughters born in st. Johnsbury the
two oldest died in childhood and she
leaves, beside her husband, Mrs. Lou
Use B. Llewellyn of Chicago and Mar
garet and Ruth of La Grange. Be
sides her sanity mother these broth
ers and sisters are living: Lyman H
of Sheridan, Wyo., Arthur r. and AL
fred H. of st. Johnsbury, Mrs. Helen
B. Jenckes of Sherbrooke, P. O..
Frank H. and Jonas H. also residents
of this town.
The body arrived here from the West
yesterday and the funeral will be held
on Thursday afternoon at O'Clock in
the chapel of the North church.
Mrs. Tyler's long life in st. Johns
bury endeared her to many friends
who were greatly helped by her kind
deeds, and who have precious memoir
les of her life so lavishly given for
others. Strangers as we'll as friends
can bear grateful testimony to her cor
diality and interest in their welfare.
Her useful life was an inspiration for
all who were touched by her influence
and wide circle of her relatives and
friends will miss her cheering pres
ence. A. F. S.

If we carry preparedness to the ex-
tent of copying from Germany it may
be well not to overlook the wandering
military band. The band uniform has
in itself an inspiration for youth. But
martial music has it's practical side in
that it instills rhythmic discipline and
almost forces rhythmic movement.
Recently Berlin daily said. "This
war has proved how indispensable mil
ltary music is A regiment with mu-
sic easily makes thirty-fve miles a
day; one without music finds it diff
cult to march twenty-five miles. Wide
smooth roads abound in Germany, and
thirty-five miles a day is possible now
and then, but not for long marches.
However, music relieves the weary
march and the camp monotony. 1t is
noticeable that the Berlin praises of
military bands does not rehash the old
myth about inspiring battle music. Mu-
sic is effective only when the nerves
can respond to the rhythm, a physical
impossibility in the pandemonium Of
battle, even when the strains can be
heard.

Wheat Prices

The chances are that our farm
ers will receive good prices for
their wheat this fall.
Private advices to a local grain
house in this city are to the ef-
feet that the Washburn- Crosby
Co. have bought l, 900, 900 bushels
September wheat at 1.21 and 122.
Reports from the Dakotas are
to the effect that not over half a
crop may be expected from those
two states.
Wheat today is $1.00 at the
railroad.
