Everybody Weep

One of the saddest events Of his
tory occurred this week. William Jen'
nings Bryan was compelled to cancel
some lecture engagements at $3.50 per
and go to New York to testify before
the federal courts at his own ex-
pense after having once ignored the
subpoena of the court. Only think of
the unfeeling dictator on the bench
who would cruelty separate William
from chance to secure some easy
money.

Her father, mother, and younger
sister, Alvirda, with other relatives,
and many many friends mourn her
early death to this life, but rejoice in
the fuller life into which she entered
when she said Good by" and went
away Lonogfellow puts it so nicely
when he says:
"Then fell upon the house a sudden
gloom,
A shadow on those features fair and
thin;
And softly from that hushed and
darkened room
Two angels issued where but one
went in"
The funeral, which was largely at
tended, was held from the undertake
ing parlors at o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon, January II, 1916, and was in
charge of Rev. Clyde H. Inman, pas
tor of the Methodist Episcopal church.
Interment at Riverside cemetery.
