Radiant with the joy of living.
Eighty years of self he's giving,
Wholly for the Master living;
Each year trusting,
Each year finding
Peace and love and happiness.
Nav he thus continue living,
May we thus like him be giving
To the world

And in his footsteps follow on.

heard the oncoming train until it was
within a yard or two of him, then he
tried to Jump clear but was caught as he
was jumping, receiving a severe wound
in the head and also broken arm.
1t was impossible for the Engineer to
see him as the weeds were so tall as to
completely obstruct his view. The
jumping Of the boy caused the first
glimpse and Immediately the train was
pulled up, and the injured boy taken
aboard and rushed to Custer where DIR.
Long administered first aid and then ac-
companied him to Deadwood where he
was taken to st. Joseph's hospital

to the boys head might become fatal, but
the last reports are that the boy will re.
cover in short time, providing there
are no other complications.
