est of the trio, Norman, aged Il years

him the trigger caught on some pro

death TO the boy. The neighbors and
friends who knew Norman speak very
kindly of him and especially OF his
fondness for his mother. The imme-
date family consists OF father and
mother three brothers and two SIS
ters who have the sympathy of many
friends in their sorrow
brightly for him the future smiled,
The world was all untried,
He had been a boy, almost child
In YOUR household till he died.
And YOU saw him. young and strong
and fair
But Yesterday depart;
And YOU now know he is lying there,
The boy so dear to your heart
Alas. for the step so proud and true
That tramped the woodland track;
Alas. to go, as he went from you,
And to come, as they brought him
back!
Yet he has not lived and died in vain
For proudly you may say
He has left a name. with never a stain
For your tears to wash away.
