survive. Like many of this New
England type Mrs. Morse was reti-
cent upon the matters which lay
deepest written within her
life. She was not identified with
any religious organization, but she
was by no means Indifferent to the
great realities Of life or negligent of
their claims. A little slip Of paper,
brown with great age, was found in
her pocketbook which is telltale of
the faith which nourished her soul
and ripened with the years into a
trustful confidence which made light
the mysterious way. D. B. S.
Crock Of Ages, cleft for me-
Twas a woman sang them now,
Rose the song as storm tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the air,
Every note with sorrow stirred
Every syllable prayer
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee
Crock of Ages, cleft for me-
Lips grown aged sang the hymn,
Trustingly and tenderly,
Voice grown weak and eyes grown
dim
"Let me hide myself in thee"
Trembling through the voice and
low,
Ran the sweet strain peacefully,
Like a river in it's flow
Sung as only those can sing,
Who life's thorny paths have press
ed;
Sung as only those can sing
Who behold the promised rest
''Rock Of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"
Crock of Ages, cleft for me-"
Sung above a coffin lid;
Underneath, all restfully,
All life's joys and sorrows hid.
Nevermore, 0 storm tossed soul!
Nevermore from wind or tide,
Nevermore from pillows roll,
Wilt thou need to hide.
Could the sightless, sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft gray hair,
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
Still, aye, still the words would be
''Let me hide myself in thee"

PASSING AWAY.

BY MRS. JOHN C. FOSTER.
Friends of our youth, and friends of
today
One by one they are passing away.
Yes, one by one, with the last good
bye,"
The parting comes, for we all must
die.
Crossing the river SO deep and wide,
They will safely reach the other
side,
And over the stream SO bright and
clear,
They will meet those who are very
dear.
Friends Of our youth and friends of
today.
Year after year are passing away.
There are signs and tears, with
anxious care
We take up the burden each must
bear.
Journeying on to the better land
There are many walking hand in
hand,
The time is brief, yet they count the
days,
When the Golden Shore will meet
their gaze.
Friends of our youth and friends of
today,
Year after year are passing away,
And dropping down as the leaflets
fall
Throws a darkened shadow over
all.
But as slowly sinks the setting sun,
To the weary one whose work is
done,
When twilight comes, there's a
promised bow,
And words that are whispered soft
ana low.
"Just over there and it is my will
There is peace for you, be still, be
still"
Friends of our youth and friends of
today
One by one they are passing away.

Obituary
MRS. MARY D. MORSE.

We noticed briefly last week the
death OF Mrs. Morse at her home in
this city on Feb. 90. Her maiden
name was Mary D. Randall. She
was born at Braintree. VT, Feb. II,
1927. Her early training was that
customary in New England homes OF
the last century. November 22,
1916, she was married to Mr.. Abner
Morse and for nine years thereafter
they made their home at Bralntree.
In 1855 Mr.. Morse came to this sec
ton prospecting and the following
season his wife followed him. Since
that time they have been identified
with this community and especially
with The Journal. This paper was
originally started by Messrs. Horace
and Lule Taylor, but when they re-
moved to Prescott for a time the
paper was not published here. Mr..
Morse became first connected with
The Herald Of Ellsworth, but after
a short period he returned to River
Falls and resumed the publication of
The Journal at this point. Since
that day it has remained in the
hands of the family, for many years
down to his death. Mr.. Randall
Morse, the son. having it in charge
and now the grandson, Stanley r.
Morse, is proprietor. Mr.. Abner
Morse died thirty-four years ago,
but during his lifetime he was a
prominent man in the county. And
Mrs. Morse fulfilled all the New
England traditions as the head of
the household of a professional man
and influential citizen. We have
more than once, in the columns of
this paper, paid respect to the New
England element, which was so
prominent and forceful in shaping
the life and traditions of this COM
munity. In this work the women
had no small share. The New Eng
land character is nowhere more pro
nounced than in the home life where
the women ruled. These women
were not much given to society, as
we know it. They belonged to no
clubs or suffragette movements.
They made few social calls of the
modern sort, but they lived virile
life. They were intellectual peers
of their husbands. They were wo-
men Of character and force. They
were industrious, God fearing and
conscientious in the discharge of
their duty as they understood it..
Their hearts were not worn upon
the sleeve, but they beat time to
every demand Of kindred ties and of
humanity. Mrs. Morse was worthy
representative of this type of Wo-
man. Her intellectual interest in
the affairs of the world suffered no
apparent abatement down to the
close Of her unusually long life; al
though for the past year she has suf-
fered the loss of her eyesight. She
was industrious, home loving and
honorable. winning most the respect
and confidence of those who knew
her best. On the death of her sons
wife, Mrs. Randall Morse, in 1886
she left her own home and for II
years was the head of his household
and the mother Of his boys. Death
leaves only the remnants of this
family. A daughter, Miss Julia
Morse, and a grandson, Stanley R.
Morse, both of this city, are all who

Pork"
Keep Congress Busy
continued from page /

ing lands along the canal, an appro-
priation of S175, 900 was struggled
into the 1915 bill. Harmless in ap-
pearance it was part of $40, 325, 900
more recommended by army engin-
GERS for navigation" to accommodate
the 5000 tons Of freight. Back Of
that proposal, a loan by the govern
ment to the Alabama Power Com
pany of So, 375, 900 more at 3 per
cent, was to be repaid during 100
years or $18, 700, 900 in all was to be
given to a private company. Under
wood and other democratic leaders
struggled to keep it in the 1915 bill
but they were squarely defeated on
the floor in the first item stricken
from any pork barrel bill in dozen
years. Thereafter The item was re-
inserted by the Senate Committee in
the same bill but the entire bill was
defeated by Burton and other Sena-
tors, so the Muscle Shoals tail went
with the hide.
The Senate Resolution to warn
Americans against travelling on
armed belIigerent vessels was laid on
the table. Before the roll call Sena-
tore Gore substituted a provision en-
tirely different from the original so
that the merits of the resolution
were not discussed or passed upon.
Members are deluged with letters,
kilograms, pamphlets and advice on
this and other questions. No one can
predict in what form bills, or reso-
Iutions will ultimately be presented
for decision and those who confident
~ urge action, frequently send word
that the form of the proposition was
not fully understood. Occasionally
a reversal of instructions will come
from the same individual, upon dis
covery of the exact issue. Needless
to say those charged with response
bility endeavor to act intelligently
and conscienciously, although honest
difference of opinion necessarily
arise as to the merits Of proposed
legislation.

himself and the government tells him
what rights he may have instead Of
him telling the government what
