the homes of many well-to-do citizens.
Major Monroe wears his years light

iof fifty. He works in the gardens OF
the wealthier residents of the River
side section, and is favorite with
the children, for whom he has a con-
stant fund Of stories relating to the
Mexican war, the Civil war and ante
ibellum days. He has been married
three times, and has lost five sons
fighting for this country. Two of
them were killed in the Civil war. One
daughter remains alive. Her home is
lat Richmond, Va.
At the side of the houseboat home
Of Major Monroe Confederate flag

Death in Life.

What we call death" is, after all,
merely the elimination, premature or
natural, of the dying that is going on
within us each minute. Every blow we
strike, every thought we think, is ac-
companied by the death of a certain
amount of muscular or nervous tissue.
In health the death" is followed by
new life-the tissue is renewed. There
is no more pain in the death of the
whole physical organism than there is
in the death of one cell.-London An

also half bar of soap, and put in
boiler half filled with water and bring

chiefs in cold water, put them in the
boiler and boil for five minutes. This
is excellent, making the handkerchiefs
perfectly clean and snow white.
