BROOkS-Sacred, but ia loving re-

Brooks who died Sat, July 14th 1917.
In the graveyard We'll soon lay her
Where flowers gently wave,
Will lie there, one we loved so dearly
In the silent, lonely grave.
When you ask us do wc miss her,

But her spirit gently whispers,
Have courage, loved ones, We'll
meet again.
