over our town as on the wings Of

patty for the beroaved ones were
many and from the heart.
The deceased was born Aug. g.,
1894 and had grown to slendid young
womanhood In our midst. Last Oct
ober she took suddenly Ill and for q
few days death was expected momen-
tarily. However, she was determin-
ed to live and fought gallant fight.
At times her condition was improved
and gave those about her q ray Of
hope, but she lost In her fight with
death which came very peacefully
about noon ON Monday. F.,
Bright. happy and cheerful, Tressa
Brady carried sunshine with her
wherever she went. She had always
Q smile and pleasant word for her
friends. Her death comes n dark
shadow to her friends and to her rel
atives who loved her % dearly. Death
II . hard master-He would take
from W of our brightest and best.
but he cannot ever mar memory. II
will serve a. . balm to our woundeo
hearts.
She lived q splendid noble life. and
by her many graceful ways and
kindly disposition gained confidence
when she seemed least to seek 1t.
Funeral services were held ct st.
Patrick's church this morning at
$3.50, conducted by Father McDon-
aid and interment made in the Cath
Ollie cemetery. The sympathy Of the
entire community 10 extended to Mr..

was being served In the commodiOul
dining room. The dinner was served
In three courses, after prayer By Rev.

subject was ''If had . man." which
she handled In q manner that was ex-
ceptionally pleasing. She was follow
ed by Mrs. Flora Freeman who rem
dered vocal solo In her usual de-
liEhtful way.
q. 8. Van Gorder responded to the
toast "Is It Worth While" after
which Miss Elizabeth Brettell sanA
o very beautiful solo.

signed to J. n. Graham which was
followed by Miss Harriet Bilharx, who
had for her subject III Were q

The First Bomb.

The bomb came into being during tie
uoublous times In France toward the
close Of the eighteenth century. Its
inventor was a French fanatic named
Chevalier, who had conceived such an
intense hatred Of Napoleon that he de
tefmined to kill him.
Being employed at a government
small arms factory, he had gained some
knowledge Of explosives, and with. this
knowledge he managed to construct q
bomb out Of barrel, which he filed
with q mixture Of powder. bullets, bro
ken glass and white arsenic.
Chsvaliers idea was for the bomb
to explode under Napoleon's carriage a
e passed through the streets Of Paris.
a miscalculation, however, caused II to

Had Chevalier succeeded In his OBJ
