Death Of W. l. Rice.

w. j., Rice, we'll known and much
respected citizen Of Jasper, died at his
home on North Main Street last Sun
day evening after an illness of week
or ten days. Mr.. Rice had been COM
planning Of i'll health longer than that
but was able to be about his usual
pursuits until few days before his
death. The funeral was held Monday
afternoon at the M. +. Church, con-
Quoted by DR.. J y. Martin. Interment
took place in the Jasper Masonic
Cemetery.
Mr.. Rice lived in Jasper the past 10
years-quiet, unassuming and kindly;
his integrity unquestioned and a man
whom those who knew him best held
in highest esteem,
We have the following from his
pastor:
w. l.. Rice was born in Washington
County, ILL.,, November Is, 1912, and
died at his home in Jasper, Mo-, May
81, 1916.
When Is years of age he was convert
ed to God, and united with the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. He remain
ed steadfast in his profession and true
to the VOWS of the church until he
was translated to the church trium-
plant.
InlS64 hewas happily married to Miss
Elizabeth Ward in Illinois. To this
marriage were born nine children;
five of them have passed to the other
world, and four remain to mourn the
loss of a good and faithful father,
namely: Mrs. Mary Hoffman of Illi-
nois, Mrs. Pearl Bedell of Jasper, Ira
Rice of Ogden, Utah, and E. G. Rice
of Jasper. He also leaves one sister,
Mrs. Harriet c. Mckay of Avilla, this
county. THESE with the faithful wife
Ffemain to mourn, out not as those
who have no hope.
| Brother Rice moved from Illinois to
Kansas where he lived for time, and
30 years ago, in 1896, he came to Mis-
souri, and settled in Jasper County.
Ten years ago he with his family placed
their church membership with the First
Methodist Episcopal Church of Jasper.
Brother Rice lived consistent
christian life. He was quiet, retiring
and unassuming. He was found al
ways on the side of the right as
he saw the right; having charity for
all men and malice toward none.
When the summons of death came,
it found him at his post, at peace with
God and all mankind.
Blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord; for they rest from their labors
and their works do follow them"

CHAPTER III.
The Rest of the Family.

1t was Saturday morning when
the four young girls arrived in
Mount Mark and the gray old ugly
parsonage was full to Overlooking
with satisfaction and happiness.
The STAIRS had never had an
appointment like this before. They
had just come from the village
Of E,xminster. of five hundred in
habitants. There the Reverend
MIR. Starr had filled the pulrits of
three small Methodist churches,
scattered at random throughout
the country-consideration, five
hundred dollars.
But here-why, Mount Mark
and a population of fully three
thousand, and the Presbyterian
College-small, to be sure-but
the name had a grand and inspir-
ing sound. And Mr.. Starr had to
fill only one pulpit! 1t was heav-
emily, that's what IL was. The fal-
airy was six hundred and fifty dol
lars, and the parsonage was ador-
able! The parsonage family could
see nothing at all wrong with the
world that day, and the future
was rainbow-tinted.
The family had been in the new
parsonage only three weeks, when
the Ladies' Aid society announced
that IL would hold its next meet
ing at the parsonage.

! The three main downstairs
rooms of the parsonage were con-

room. seldom used by the parson-
age family, opened on the right of
the narrow hallway. Beyond it
was the living-room.
To the left of the living-room
was the dining-room. The double
doors between them were always
open. The other pair was closed,

Mrs. Adams suggestively.
"Yes-for some ministers

You see, father and mother were

81 was only three years old
when Fairy was born, but already
they realized that they had made
a mistake. So they decided to
christen baby number two more
appropriately. They chose Frank
and Fairy-both lighthearted,
happy, cheerful names. It's

Prudence smiled reflcetively.
But things went badly again.
Fairy is Prudence by nature, and

Father and mother were sure

guess. But they rallied swiftly,
and called them Carol and Lark.
