In Memory of My Dear Sweet Wife.

In Memory of My Dear Sweet Wife. At 8 o'clock and 58 minutes, Monday morning, June IT, 1918, my heart was made to experience the greatest bur den and caused to be saddest it could have been, and my life was filled with more gloom and sorrow than it seems possible for me to bear, when my dear, sweet, darling wife, Clara, died and passed to her eternal rest. She wasn't sick but short time and not one thought she was serious until few hours before her death. Though my darling wife was only 15 years, 4 months and 20 days old, she had de- veloDed to almost perfect womanhood. She was always kind, loving and true, and my wish was her pleasure. Tho Clara was only child in age, in size and ways she was a woman-yes a perfect lady. In appearance to my eyes she was the synonym of beauty. To my imagination and to the eye of my memory and as my life comfort she was a perfect guiding angel and my all, for loved her better than my own life and would rather to have given up my life for hers for I am so lonesome without her. The sound of her gentle footsteps, the memory of her red, rosy cheeks, bright loving smiles, sweet loving kisses and sweet songs tfor she arose every morning with some sweet song on her lips), in memory they haunt me still. My dear. sweet Clara had not realized the troubles of life as others have. and long ere her life's sun had reached it's noon, while the shadows were still following toward the west, my darl- ing wife, being weary, laid herself down to rest, and using her sweet life for a pillow, she sleeps the sleep that closes her eyelids still. I 1on't care to live in this world any longer for l cannot help weeping for her, sine was near and dear to me, altho I know she is happy at home, for her last words were: q am going backwards. The angels are taking me over there" l have not written more there than have spoken to her while she was yet alive
 At Sunrise on the morning of that day Clara was slowly passing away. And as she could not peacefully slum.
 Der Ter sleep,
 The grim monster, death, across her
 pathway did creep. Then she suddenly grew worse, as
 time quickly passed, And assistance was given, but Ohl
 Alasi
 She had passed to eternity to suffer
 no more;
 She is now sweetly living on that
 Golden Shore.
 And while in the cold. dark tomb she
 lay,
 Her life no longer with us will stay We'll meet her again in that sweet by
 and bye,
 In that home of love, far beyond the
 sky
 And now hope, we aspire, we pray, That we'll meet her in that perfect
 day;
 Where she is member of that an-
 gelic choir,
 And she will live with Jesus forever
 there.
 Her loving husband,
 L. N Whisenhunt.

DETAILS OF ROSS
TRIAL TOLD IN
BRAWLEY PAPER


Brawley News: J. Edgar Ross, who
was recently the central figure in an
affair in which public INDICATION over
his neglect to buy Liberty bonds
broke the bounds imposed by custom,
was on trial in the recorders court
/ This morning on a charge of disturb
! ing the peace, preferred by Roy Mitch
ell.
Attorney Frank Birkhauser ap-
peared for Ross and Attorney Guy
Rockwell represented the city.
An appeal alleging prejudice on the
part of the recorder and asking
change of venue was denied and the
trial proceeded.
Leo Hoge testified that Ross, while
in his place of business on the day
prior 10 the episode mentioned above.
declared his purpose of getting any
person who endeavored 10 force him
to buy Liberty bonds, and uttered
words of similar import, in event of
an effort being made to tar and feah-
er him.
The defense introduced Ross as
witness in his own behalf. Ques-
toned as to the utterances charged,
Ross admitted he fact, but stated that
his warning applied 10 possible in
vaders of his home The witness aid
mitted his belief that the obligation
to buy Liberty bonds rested equally
upon every American citizen, yet in
The same breath stated that he had
refused TO meet his recognized obli-

The prosecution bent its efforts TO

stepped the real issue and sought to
sustain the right of the defendant 10

mastery conclusion, sus stained the
charge that The defendant wilfully re-
sorted to tactics which he knew would

played, made social visits and had a
good time generally. There had been
no good reason why he shouldn't.
But now it was time to think of the
coming winter and prepare for 1t. and
Jerry was ready for work. There
isn't lazy bone in Jerry Muskrat's
stout little body. That is one way in
which he differs from Peter Rabbit.
Now that he had decided where he
would build his new house Jerry got
to work without waste of time. His
busy days had begun. Perhaps ]
should have said his busy nights had
begun, for Jerry. like his big cousin,
Paddy the Beaver, prefers to work at
night. If he isn't bothered he works
during the day also, especially on a
dull or rainy day, but as rule his
real working hours begin just after
jolly. round, red Mr.. Sun goes to his
bed behind the Purple Hills.
OF course, Peter Rabbit was all
curiosity as soon as he knew that
Jerry was to build a new house, and
every chance he got he slipped over
to the Smiling Pool to see how Jerry
was getting on. At first he could
make nothing of it excepting that
over beyond the Big Rock Jerry was
making the water terribly muddy.
Now and then a cat tail would fall and
disappear and in places the water
would bubble and boil very hard,
showing that something was going on
down beneath. Then after a little
Jerry would climb out on the Big

Mink.
Waters too dirty. I can give him
a piece Of my mind later. The best
thing for us to do is to keep away
from the Smiling Pool for few days."
grumbled Little Joe Otter.
But jerry MuSkrat knew nothing
about the grumbling of his neighbors.
I suspect It would have made no DIFF
ference II he had. Jerry had too
much to do to worry about the feel
ings Of his neighbors. They would
have to stand the muddy water until
he got the foundations Of his house
laid, and to lay these he had got to
dig. Digging under water made the
water muddy. and there was no help
for it. II he could stand it they could.
So Jerry dug and came up to rest and
went down to dig again and was
happy, for to be usefully busy is to be
happy.
