THAT JEWEL FRIENDSHIP.

In the horrible head of the squirm,

devil fish is a most beautiful gem of
colors.
In the crowded dirty streets of Chi

musty dens where lawyers meet to
plan and plot deviltry, very largely,
there has, for years past, been one
of the rarest of beauties to those who
have "eyes with which to see" 1t
was the halt leading the blind: affec

John Rowan, 80. lawyer, hard up
and a cripple; James Johnson, "a,

the streets, through the court rooms,
through the halls of business, through
all the parts of the great city where

could not be toppled from his crutches.
And so they went through the city
always locked arm and arm, heart

the SCOT. and war and turmoil.
On Thursday last, the Angel of
Death said "Old Jim Johnson. 81

Within that same hour, twas said
