In Mernoriam.

Allowing tribute to the memory Of
my dear sister, Mrs Lillian D Nc
Crea, who died July 10, 1916.
One sad. sad, long year today.
Oh, how we miss her!
Friends may think the wound is healed
But they little know the sorrow
Deep within my heart concealed.
How miss you, dearest Lillian;
Never will your memory fade;
Tho other loved ones are around me,
My heart mourns for you still.
Another hand is beckoning US;
Another call is given,
And glows once more with angel steps
The path that leads to heaven.
Our young and gentle sister i.
Whose smile frightened summer
hours,
Amid the dews of springtime
Has left US like the flowers,
The light of her yaung life
Went down as sinks beneath the hill
The glory of setting star,
Clear, suddenly and still,
Fold her in Thine arms, dear Father, :
And let her henceforth be
A messenger of love between
Our human hearts and Thee.
Her devoted sister,
EGERIA TIsDALE.

Allen DsIe's weekly flag cere-
mony.
Instead OF staging salutes
while a clerk marches into the
council chamber with .he col.
ors, the flag will be draped above
the presidents chair, and left
there at all times. Under Daie's
plan the flag ceremony was
only observed on Monday after
moons, when the crowds attend.
The judiciary committee,
headed by w. o. Lane, recon-
mended that the ceremony be
abandoned.
Opposition to this ceremony was
conducted by Councilman Oliver L.
