OBITUARY.
POOLER.

POOLER.
Grace Luella Pooler was born near
Elms, in Howard Co., Ia, March %,
1876, and here grew to beautiful young
womanhood. She graduated with the
first class from Elma High school in
1894. The year following, on Nov. 6,
1895, she was united in marriage to
Chas. A. Mead. To them were born
five children, of whom three, Hariand,
Inez and Robert survive to mourn her
loss. Besides her husband and three
children are left her sister Mrs. Cora
Louisa Potter of Brien, N. OAK, and
brother Archie Pooler of Rocklyn,
Wash. Her mother and father, to
whom she was especially devoted, and
brother, George Willis, preceded her
into the Great Beyond. The deceased
was united with the Congregational
church when a young woman and ever
lived a true, Christian life.
Too much could not be said of the
beautiful life and character of the de-
parted. Words are futile to acequate-
ly express what her family and many
friends feel. Hers was q life that
does not find its elimination in death
but lives on forever in the influence for
good which is felt not only in her fam
lily and among her intimate friends but
in the whole community in which she
has lived.
She was always faithful and loyal
worker. In the Alumni association,
Red Cross, the Eastern Star and es-
pecially devoted to all church work and
charity work.
With the passing away of Mrs. Mead
this community has lost one who was
loved by all and whose life of devotion
end purity has been an inspiration to
all.
We see the place where she used to stand,
We hear her step on the stair, -
Her face smiles back from the mirror deep,
None sit in her empty chair
But we smile through thickening mist Of
[tears,
AS we KNOW S0e is sale ABOVE.
BY the spotless throne where the Master
[reigns.
For she knew that her God was love.
Her presence is with us in the day.
She guards our beds through the night,
When we sit in the cleaning she comes to US
With the mist of the waning light,
But her place is empty, and safe above
The Angel band has another soul,
To worship the God OF love.
Margaret E. sangster.

. It Is not often that one comes across
q little place that has an ingenious
and exciting sport all its own. At Cava
del Tirreni in Italy, however, there
has for a thousand years existed pc
culiar form of pigeon catching. 1t was
introduced in S92, says Mr.. Herbert Vi
Wan in Italy at War and it has -four
fshed ever since. At the beginning OF
every autumn great f1ocks Of pigeons
migrate from Siberia to Africa and
pass over Cava and the Gulf of Saler-
no. They probably have other routes,
but Cava is the only place where they
are waylaid with nets and sings. The
season is at it's height from the 18th to
25th of October.
The pigeon catchers are mostly men
of the lower middle class, who club to-
gether to form six societies, or
"'games." A game usually consists OF
three or four towers and. a clearing
where the nets are set up. One tower
Is probably thousand yards from the
net, and the nearest perhaps seventy
yards, but the distances vary. The
towers are tall and slim, windowless
and weather-beaten. There are steps
about halfway up the inside, and a
rickety ladder leads to the parapet at
the top. Each society has also a neat
little clubhouse, usually near the chief
tower. ...
In a merry mood the members take
their places in the fresh morning air.
Most of them are dressed in velveteen
coats, top-boots and peaked caps. Two
men ascend each tower and the rest
are distributed among the nets. In
each Of the clearings stands small
house from the center Of which rises
a tall black mast. To that two huge
nets are fastened, stretching right and
left to clumps of. trees and spreading
out obliquely to the ground. Inside
the house is a handle and a cogwheel
for raising the weighted nets. The
lookout place is a straw hut two or
three miles away in the direction from
which the pigeons are expected. When
the watcher sights a flock Of birds he
gives a signal on his horn, which other
watchers scattered about the woods
take up.
The birds travel at a tremendous
speed, always with a leader, and In
flocks Of from 30 to 100. Every one
takes to cover, for the birds are easily
frightened. The men on the towers
are provided with long sings and
whitewashed stones about the size OF
small hens eggs. These they discharge
with great force. The pigeons, it is
said, mistake the stones for hawks and
make frantic efforts to avoid them,
