Expectation is preparation, but
nevertheless all Springdale was
painfully shocked Sunday morn

made that Prof. y. H. Banta
had answered the final summons.
He had been i'll for some weeks,
and the last few days his condi-
ton grew steadily worse, and his
death was hourly expected ;
friends with full knowledge OF
his serious condition being pre-
pared fer the worst Saturday
he spent very bad day, his
breathing beng very difficult.
and those at his bedside realiz-
ed that the end was only a mat
fer Of few hours. Prof Banta
himself realized that he must
soon 90. and calling those about
him stated audibly l know that
my works about ended. hut /

one-sided. and Prof. Banta gave
up the battle Of life at one forty

storm his soul was carried up
ward. He died. as he lived, an
optomist; believing that all
. things were for the best.

deacons told all about King Arthur

published In the twelfth century. In
this they included Arthur's battle with
the giant Ritho. who dressed himself
in furs made Of the boards of the
kings he had slain. Buckle points
