until this last September.
A husband and wife so happy their
little children four,
So loving, kind affectionate, they one
another did adore.
The wife loving mother so patient,
gentle, kind and good
Her babes did love and fondle as only
a model mother could.
An ideal christian home-life where
each member Joined in prayer,
A charming hostess at all times, many
friends were welcomed there.
And thus mid joy and happiness the
days sped swiftly by
There came a day of sorrow-like
lightning from a sunny sky.
The fair young wife lay sick in bed,
her husband was very sad.
He ga2ed upon her pale sweet face,
whose beauty had made him glad.
The doctor said "Nelle's very sick but
hope she'll soon get we'll"
pray my darling wife will live-he
thought we cannot tell.
Could it be that God our Father, kind
and merciful as He
Would take the mother of my babes
and my darling nellie from me.
AS though his thoughts she'd heard,
her brown eyes open wide
With tears she looked at him and
beckoned him unto her side.
Her head then pillowed on his breast,
these word to him she said,
$50 happy we have been together, in
the years that we've been wed,
Now, dear our happiness is past, these
words will sorely grieve you
Sorrow and grief is yours, for tbs
Gods will that should leave you
With you and our children, l would
still love to dwell.
buI lIlo Will Dt uOlt, Ills WHO uUtlll
all things we'll"
Then she lovingly tenderly, gazed at
the little trundle bed.
Where on the snowy pillow lay little
Joe's flaxon curley head.
I'd be quite happy, dear if little Joe
could go with me
You still would have the care, of our
other children three.
And lay me in that little churchyard
so near your boyhoods home
Beside our first born child there sleep
ing, then I'll not be alone.
God is with us, He will aid us. through
deaths valley go with me,
He'll comfort you - We'll meet in
Heaven! Good bye! until eternity
In this world we know not,-cannot
understand it, why?

WILL ENFORCE DOG LAW

The following letter from Commits
'ioner of Agriculture Mat S. Cohen

plain itself:
Replying to yours of November 80,
in which you ask in case a man should

censed, you should Immediately swear
a warrant for him for the violation of
this act, or else notify the Sheriff with
a written notice to the effect in order
that the Sheriff may proceed to carry
out the provision of this act.
l say to you frankly this law is put

In MenlOriam Of Mrs.
Nellie HendTiCkSOn
RuggIGs
20 death where is thy sting! o
grave where is thy victUry!"

20 death where is thy sting! U
grave where is thy victory!"
These words found a glowing illus
tration in the passing of our beloved
sister. She went away in blaze or
celestial light! There was glory IN
her soul! Her farewell was tender
but triumphant. She could say with
Wesley in his last moments, 1.-THE best
of all is, God is with us"
To one who leaves this world with
a convoy from the skies, death is not
a calamity. The grave is only tenn
porary resting place. The tears we
shed is not for the dead but for the
living, for those,
"Who shall meet but they shall miss
her,
There will be a vacant chair:
They shall linger to carress her,
When they breathe their evening
prayer"
The lovely woman with whom we
part SO reluctantly, was born near
Martin, Lewis county, KY, April Sth,
1898. Her parents, Joseph and Rach-
ael Hendrickson, died in her infancy,
and in the home of her grandparents
Richard Kennedy and wife, she grew
to womanhood.
She was educated in the public
schools of Lewis county. AS the age
of fourteen she was converted, and
Joined the NJ E. Church at Muse
Chapel. December 1907, under the
ministry of Rev. w. H. Morris. She
was married to Rev. John F. Ruggles
December 2, 1911, and perhaps hap
pier union was never consumated
One whose opportunities for knowing
the home-lfe of these servants of God
bears testimony to their devotion to
each other, and to the ideal character
of this model home.
This happy union was blessed with
five children. Gladys Lorene, John F
Jr., Lena Jane, Joseph Sherman, How
ard Taylor. The first born was taken
to the Fathers house when only three
months and eight days old; the Others
are left, may we not hope, to make this
world better place in which to live
and to add stars to her crown who
will forever live in them; for the fruit.
age Of their lives will be the fruitage
of hers. She leaves, besides her hus
band, sister and brother to mourn
her loss-Mrs John Madden OF Mays
vile, KY, and Mr.. o. E. Hendricksor

See Constance Talmage i'm miss Leffingw,

of Covington, Ky. AS to her friends,
who can number them, for all who
knew her loved her!
Though modest and retiring sister
Ruggles had winning personality.
She was well poised, nothing frus-
trated her. The trials of the family
never ruffled her temper or disturbed
her equilibrium. Though not demon
strative, she was full of love and SYM
pathy As a mother none was more
tender; yet she was firm, and her
lovely children show the strength of
her guiding hand. Her hospitality
was bounded only by her resources
and opportunities. She loved to en-
terrain her ministerial brethren, and
they in turn we're delighted to be in
her home. Her guests were always at
ease, for she made them feel that they
were no burden.
In daily life she was a consistent
Christian. In the house of God she
was a reverent and devout worshiper.
Her life was brief but bursting with
blessings. She made the greatest con-
tribution to this world that it is in the
power of mortals to give-a family of
promising children, like the plant that
natures its seed then returns to earth
In earthly contests he wins the prize
race for a heavenly home shall we not
count them happy who finish their
course in the shortest time? Her
trials are past; her eyes are done with
weeping, for "He hath wiped all tears
away" Freed from disease, infused
with immortal vigor, she will grow in
holiness, develop in intelligence, in
crease in knowledge while the eternal
ages roll. Her beautiful form may
moulder into dust but with a body like
her Lords she shall shine like the
stars forever"
1t falls to the lot of many to suffer
through years of sickness and pain.
But she escaped all this, only one
month covering the period of her de-
cline.
From a vigorous womanhood she
passed like an autumn leaf crisped by
an untimely frost. The most beautiful
| flowers soon fyade and die, but they
live again when the vernal showers
return, and so shall it be with her.
To her dear children, she has be-
queathed the heritage of Cody life,
the greatest legacy any one can in
herit. She will be their guardian An
gel, and may we not hope they Will all
live together again in the heavenly
home ]. ]. DICKEY.
Theirs was very happy home, how
we'll we all remember;

But God sent an angel, to bear her
handsome soul on high.
Sad indeed that this young mother
should die and there be laid away.
Let us trust in God securely, He'll
comfort us and with us stay
We may gEieve-the Bible tells us how
our Lord and Savior cried
How overcome with grief, when His
friend Lazarus had died.
Let our grief be not like theirs, who
have no hone beyond the grave
Thank God we have a Savior who our
immortal souls doth save.
Now the days pass far more slowly,
sickness and sorrow still were
here
The children were i'll, again deaths
angel lowered near
Instead of Joe claimed little Howard
babe just nine months old
Again the young mans heart was
wounded, deeper than can be told
AS a minister of the Gospel, he knows
God gives strength to bear
All the trials, tribulations, sorrows,
trouble, grief and care.
He knows beyond the grave there's
happiness in store.
Reunited with his loved ones, where
they'll be parted never more.

Climbed into her car and hiked away.
From the Muller farm to Washington
Was but an easy, down hill run.
The country rang, from near and far,
With a patriotic cry for war.
From all around the crowds 1ocked in:
Old Washington was noise and din,
Maud landed early in the day
And to the capitol found her way.
And slipping in, with girlish glee
Planted herself in the gal-ler-ee,
The speakers gavel rent the air.
The chaplain offered solemn prayer.
One speaker rose and told a tale
OF how this country dare not fail.
To start at once, with shot and shell
And chase the kaiser clear to hell.
And from each corner, fear and near,
Arose a mighty, ringing cheer.
"Hooray!" yelled Maud. "Hooray!'
"Hooray!"

stay!"
