4 Blind and Helpless Child.

On March "a, 1916, in the still
ness of the night, the Death An.
gel made it's way into the home
of our dear brother, Monroe
Greer, OF Mabel, N. c., and stole
away little blind and helpless
Johny, who never saw light.
He was born July the lst 1911,
and died March "a, 1916, aged
four, years, eight months and %
days.
In his pitiful condition he was
most tenderly and lovingly wat
ched over by his father, mother
and all the children, as if he was
living his last day in the home.
At last, when on his mothers
arm, she saw that death had
come, she laid him on the bed,
realizing that his life was ebbing
out.
We thank and praise God for
the thought that the eyes that
never saw light in this world is
tonight beholding the beauties OF
heaven, believing that Johnny is
in the care OF the father OF Light,
let us bow in humble submission
to His holy will. "The Lord Civ
eth and the lord taketh away,
blessed be the name OF the Lord
Notwithstanding we know that
those little shoes and that vaca-
ted little crib where he spent so
many hours, will be a sure remin-
der Of him, to those who h av @
done so much for him, but as the
last kind word and deed has been
done. let us extend to the be-
reaved parents and children our
sympathy and prayers.

and happy he Is until he turns a.
way from the cruel grave that
has claimed the prescious form OF
a loving and devoted wife. Never
can he know the true value OF
home until he looks in vain for
her.
As l close these thoughts and
look into the face OF that dark
cloud which hangs so low, these
precious lines come into my mind,
which closes with the only hope
and consolation that we can zee
in the shadow of the grave:
Farewell, we meet no more
On this side of heavrn;
The parting scene is DER,
The last sad look is given.
Farewell, my soul will weep
While memory lives;
From wounds that sink so deep
Mccarthy hand relieves.
Farewell. my stricken heart
To Jesus flies:
From him I'll never part,
On Him my hope relies.
Farewell, oh may we meet
In heaven above;
And there, in union sweet,
Sing Of a Savior's love.

The Colonel and the eauchara.

All discovers fade away when
the colonel is about, for he is the
Great Discoverer-at least so he
would have us understand. Why
he has not discovered the North
Pole and the South Pole we can
not understand, for We ale led to
believe that those two poles are
patiently waiting for him to dis
cover them.
The Colonel's latest is a bird.
Now the Colonel ought to know
a bird when he sees it, and he in
forms US that it is a bird that he
discovered while in the West In
dies, that it is q cute little devil
bird with whiskers, that it is the
gaucharo, and that it just dotes
on a nut diet. And the Colonel
brings one Of his gaucharos from
Trinidad with him.
However there are doubts a.
bout this gaucharo business, and
the doubters swat the Colonel's
exploits, one of his hard-hearted,
not to say heartless critics, the
New York World, talking about
the discovery" in this manner.
"If his travels had led him in
that direction, the Colonel might
have discovered his his whisker-
ed devil bird in a glass case in the
Brooklyn Museum. Or if he had
turned to the Encyclopaedia Bri-
tanica, Eleventh Edition, Vol.
XII., p. 653, he wouldihavefound
a column signed Alfred Newton,
Fellow o: the Royal Society, on
"what English writer's call t h 9
oil bird, the Steatornis caripen-
sis of the ornithologists, a very
remarkable bird, first described
by Alexander Won Humboldt" "
and 80 on, with full details as to
the creatures habits and charac.
teristics, as noted by a dozen sci
entiic observers. But as q mat
ter OF fact, the devil bird was his
original discovery.
1.-THE Colonel was born to be a
discoverer, and all his life he has
lived up to his duties. He discov-
cred Cuba, British East Africa
and thu River OF Doubt. He dis
covered wildcats, mountain ly-
ons and sparrows. He discovered
the Irish sagas, Edward Airing
ton Robinson and Thucydides.
He discovered civil service re-
form, Armegeddon social justice
and the Golden Rule. 1t would
require a work twice the size OF
the Encyclopaedia Britannica to
do justice to his discoveries in lit.
erature and arnothology, in po-
etry and politics, in morals and
geography. The Colonel's discov.
cries are national events. So
March "a, 1916, will be marked
in the calendar as the day be first
told the world OF finding the dev.
il bird in Trinidad News and
Observer.

IS 70 Mind Changing.

rs ~ MINI CnaRylAg.
Republican campaigners and
speakers undertake to make cap.
ital out OF the fact that President
Wilson has changed his mind.'
They will cite this and that in
stance, as if the changed condit-
ions had not made it imperative
on the Chief executive of the coun
try to change his mind to meet
these conditions. What would
the country think of a President
who would insist on carrying out
a policy that suited conditions
existing before the European
war, and who would insist on
sticking to it merely that it
might be said he would not
change his mind? Majority Lea
der Kitchln quite recently gave
the Republicans a lesson in mind
changing that they will not be
able to forget soon. 1t may be
put down as a fact that when one
is heard charging Wilson with
changing his mind, the purpose
is merely for political buncombe.
Wilson has never made a mistake
in changing his mind. He could
have ruined the country by this
time had he refused to do 80. 1t
has been demonstrated since the
war began that the safety of the
country has been largely guaran-
teed by reason Of the fact that it
has a president in the White
House who will change his mind
to.meet changed conditions. One
important point in question has
been brought up by The New
York Post in the matter Of the
creation OF the Tariff Commiss-
ion. This commission, now 80
sorely needed, could not be cre-
ated' by the present Administra-
ton unless President Wilson
should change his mind, and that
at the expense. perhaps, OF steal
ing Republican thunder. T h e
Post recalls that great prepara-
tions were being made by hr.
Roosevelt and by some Republi-
can leaders to arraign Demo:
cratic tariff.making, and to call
in stentorian tones for a Tariff
Commission as the only way to
deal with the question scientific
cally and permanently. "Since
President Wilson boldly annexed
the plan," says The Post, eve
have heard very little on this
subject from the Republicans,
though they will doubtless do a
good deal chorusing in Congress
about Democratic shamelessness.
This is inevitable; but what is
really important is whether we
get a really competent Tariff
Commission. II we do, and if il
goes about it's work intelligently
it may arrive at results which
will be as valuable, if Congress
acts upon them intelligently, af
were the long studies by q Ger
man Commission which underlay
the present German tariff. Mean
while, the Republicans in Con
gress will not help matters
thoughIthey may amuse them
selves, by attacking the Demo
cratic shift OF program with
what Sir Thomas Brown called
"Improperations and Terms O
Scurrility."
As to the Tariff Commission
itself, it will be composed OF sis
men of non.partisan character
it will be given wide latitude and
it's reports are to be made to thu
President and committees OF thu

The Snow on Mothers Grave.

Beautiful and white and pure
lies the snow on Mothers grave.
1t is not cold to her, for her heart
was always warm and loving. 1t
is emblematic of the lwhiteness
and gentleness OF her character.
1t is symbolic of the washing
that made her winter than the
snow-of the spotless robe in
which she stands in the presence
of the King. They who have
stained their garments shall walk
with Him in white. We will
tread softly here for it is holy
ground.
"a sweet voice from under the
snow seems to whisper, we shall
know each other better and love
each other more when the mists
have rolled away. Until then we
will lovingly cherish the memory
of Mother sleeping beneath the
snow."
AS l read these precious lines
from the pen OF H. A. Brown, D.
d., and look out upon the snow
| cannot refrain from thisexpres-
sion OF my heart. More than a
year has gone by since Mama, as
we all called her, so suddenly and
unexpectedly slipped away FROM
US. 1t came SO strangely that we
could hardly realize what h a d
happened. But as time passes by
we know better what we have
lost and of the worth OF q devo.
ted wife, and loving mother,
whose. very being went out for
those she loved. She lived for US.
The question may be asked with
profound thought, What is home
without a mother? The word
"home" is made up offourletters
whose music will yet control the
dreams of humanity.
A writer OF the Middle Age, ut
tered this of his wife: 20, wo.
man, thou art queen and thy
throne is the home; and thy
and thy crown is motherhood;
and thy scepter is pure and un.
selfish love-" And it was the late
Senator Carmack, l believe, who
uttered thest words: 1T is not

not the statesman with his mid
night lamp; it is not the warrior

destinies of this world. say un-
to you that the sweetest wisdom
OF this world is q woman's coun-
sci; and the purest altar fr o m

that rocks the cradle is the hand

Labor conditions in southern Ore

dustries are humming and mining
and numbering are undergoing a re-
vival which is draining the towns of
their idle men. The Rogue River
Canal Company is offering good
wages for men to work on their Four
Mile Lake project. Twenty men were

rock crusher, and an ad calling for
twenty-five men and boys from the
