THOUGHTS ON
DECORATION DAY
OF James GaynOr
Your last earthly thoughts were

OF James Gaynor
Your last earthly thoughts were
':to all my friends, Good Bye"
Before my weary soul has fed,
And as knelt beside your grave to-
day,
Flashed across my mind those sweet
thots of you
You never stood for wrong; but
right up-holding
Always opposing the false; the truth
unfolding
You lived your own true life; life
to be forgotten never.
You always lifted your hand against
oppression
Where e'er that bighting curse was
found
Making your life a sweet expression
Of kindly feeling and help to all.
The work Of heart and brain bestow-
ing
On some afflicted brother needing.
Extending the hand of charity with
bonds
Of love and sympathy.
How oft by kindly word or act; you
bound
Human hearts more close together.
Your deeds thru years in beauty grow
ing
Now shall live in memory forever.
You never lived for selfish ends or
glory.
Your name tho written not in book
or story
VIII live in human hearts forever.
Mrs. James Gaynor.

farm, just north of him, in company

his saw he remained in the downward
path of the fall ing tree too long, and
was caught under it. It was supposed
his leg was broken at first, but DR.
Boyer found no fracture, but a badly
bruised left thigh where the tree had
hit him. The wound was so painful
that he had to be treated to an anes-
thetic before an examination of the
leg could be made. He is doing we'll
and will soon be about again.

He didn't obey the command, but
started away, when the guard took a
shot at him. The bullet struck close
enough to kick some dirt on him, and
he was scared out of seven years
growth. He gave n satisfactory ex-

way, very much wiser man.
