WILLIAM GoDFRoY WARE

Died, at the Opelousas %sanitarium,
on last Saturday morning at s o'clock,
William Godfrey Ware, aged 10 years
and II days, The funeral was held on
Sunday evening at A o'clock from the
residence of his uncle. MI. A. Leon
Dupre, with services at the Catholic
Church and inttrment in the Catholic
cemetery.
It was a severe shock to the many
friends of this young man-and his pa
rents. Mr.. and Mrs. John NJ. Ware,
when it became known that their son
had died seemingly so suddenly. Up
to a short while before his illness he
was apparently in robust health and
was a splendid specimen of young
manhood. His elder brother, James,
having enlisted in the naval branch of
the service, young Ware remained at
home to attend to the farm work and
had begun his labors for the year
when without any apparent warning,
the Dark Shadow extended its hand
and called him from earthly labors to
a home in the beyond.
Simple sympathy and condolences,
no matter how sincere, is poor Balm
of Gilead'' after all for a h~eart-broken
mother and father, brothers, sister
on seeing this splendid young man
die. One who has not had a visit from
the Grim Reaper can not comprehend
the depth Of sorrow such visit brings.
We can steel ourselves for his visits
when he calls home some innocent
babe. some old person tottering be-
meath the weight of years; but when
Father Time swoops down on a yigor-
Gus youth just on the verge of man
hood, then we begin to realize what
death really is. But the good die
young, saith the philosopher, and we
console ourselves with the firm be-
lief that in the transition from this
sphere we enter into a better life be-
ycnd the grave. It is a beautiful be-
lief indeed and it is on this rock-rib-
bed principle that christianity is
founded.
Lying cold beneath the sod young
Ware is beyond the troubles, the Wor-
ries and the sorrows Of mortal exist
enee. At rest forever, let us hope
that the immortal part has scared to
happier realms beyond the ken of
mankind. While he sleeps the long,
long sleep that knows no waking, let
us turn for a moment to Gray's ex-
quisite "Elegy" for inspiration in or
der to pay a tribute to this young
man:
clark! how the solemn stiffness
breathes around.
Bids ev'ry fierce tumultuous passion
cease,
In still small accents whispering from
the ground,
ii greateful earnest of eternal peace
The human life can perish, the NOR
tai remains pass back to Mother Earth
from whence they came, but memory
blessed memory-keeps forever
alive and green the recollection OF
this splendid boy who, bidding fair to
develop into n CT St. Landry's fin
est men, is cut down in the very vigor
of youth and t~ransplanted to a sphere
Of which we know nothing, but those
who knew him and loved him will
cherish his memory through all the
years vet to come. In bidding him a
long and fond farewell, we q but
say that his life though brief has set a
shining example for others to follow.

FROM THE FRONT
To HOME FOLKS
Howard Dunham Writes Home
To Father, Telling Of COndi-
tiOns in France-Thanks
Him for FavOrs

II may be Of interest to Boys
from Baxter" who may be looking
forward to that trip across the seas
to hear how some Of them are faring
that are already on the other side.
Here are q few excerpts from a
letter received from Private Howard
Durham of Base Hospital Unit No.
2r to his father N. w. Dunham, Of
this city. The letter was in reply to
q letter that left Baxter Dec. 9, 1917:
Dear Dad:-Your letter Of the 9th
was sure quite q surprise to me in
news. Glad to note the optimism that
you people at home express over win
ming the war. We have one object
i've here, as you are aware, and that
is to win the war ere many more
seasons pass. do not think any OF
us are "over fed up" on the war yet,
because we have 80 many opportuni-
ties for diversion; as going to town
or taking q walk, and all the different
varieties of French wines and pas
tries have to be tasted, etc. Today
we had a big snow fall. The winter
weather set in about three weeks ago,
and the natives here tell US that the
weather will increase in intensity un-
til about March 1st.
The cold weather with the snow
here is much better because the
ground is not SO wet and ones feet
keep much drier.
Christmas and New Years and
Thanksgiving we received turkeys,
pork, nuts and apples from the states
and had a regular feed. We were
not found wanting on those occasions.
Believe thanked you for the box Of
tobacco and stationery. 1t is hard to
get stationery here and ! will be glad
to receive more when you can send
me some. ! received a box from Aunt
Lillian and one yesterday from a
girl friend at Nashville, Tenn. This
was one of my girl friends when
was at Vanderbilt College; she was
on the excursion to Mammonth Cave
and she was a live interesting chum.
Jessie's> box and one or two others
have not yet arrived. Say, Dad, my
two years at College has come in very
handy here as I have been able to
converse with the natives quite read
lily and it pleases the kind of people
here to be able to talk to thcm in their
own language and this / can do when
go to town.
Sister writes me that every thing
is nifty at Dallas and that the town
is on the water wagon and that every
body is very patriotic. Am not feeling
quite so lively tonight and cannot re-
call all the things ! want TO, tell you.
Write me often, Dad. Lovingly,
Your son, Howard.
