How shall we know our own where the
air is white with wings,
Our baby 50 soon from our hearts flown \
to the angels musterings?
How shall we know his voice or the greet |
ings of his eyes
Mid the countless cherubs that rejoice in |
the garden or paradise?
And that was the end Of it, all Of my
waiting and my pain,
Only little funeral pail and empty arms
again
Oh, baby, our hearts are sore fer the love
we shall not know,
'twixt you, our babe, and We
Yet, over your little head that lay 50 still
on my knee
Y thanked Our God for the bliss OF the dead
for the joy Of your soul set free
IT'S weary world at best, this world
that you will not know,
Would we waken you out OF such perfect |
rest for it's sorrows and strife? All, |
Escaped are its thorns and harms; the
only path he trod-
Is that which leads from a mothers arms
into the arms of God

Such little break in the sod. so tiny to
be a grave,
Oh. how hard to render so soon to God
the beautiful gift He gave
We had to put him away, our pet, our
tender bud unknown,
With the dew OF the morn upon his yet,
and his blossoms all unshown.
Our hearts are near to break, for his voice
we shall not hear,
For his clinging arms around our neck
and his footsteps drawing near.
Oh, was | so very much to blame when
I shrank from the sore demand?

Il had no appetite, could not sleep,
and had no ambition. T saw Tonall

lin MEMORIAM.

In sad and loving memory Of my dear
sister, Annie May Trayer, who died Oct.
Five months ago today she passed away,
'TiS hard to think she went to stay;
Sometimes we think how can 1t be,
Her loving face no more to see.
Often in our hearts we are asked why,
So sad and quick she should die;
But sometime we'll know the story,
When over there we meet in glory.

1t has been the constant aim OF
your representatives to have the
value of the COmpanyis water plant
liked, at sum which will be fair to
the public and not unjust to the Com
pany, they contending that you should
be charged with the value of only
one water system sufficiently ade-
quate to supply your needs, and not
with the value. OF two plants, con-
ceeding that the rates charged should
be sufficient to pay the Company's
operating expenses and dividends on
the fair value of its plant, but pro-
testing against the high rates for the
small consumer, and the low rates
for the large consumer.

Fl. Fioge and Harold Stark of Bay
field, Mimi, making a trip to Corni-
copia, a few nights ago about 8 p. m.
were attacked by two large bears,
while making repairs on their car.

the male bear, who was standing on
its hind legs not over % feet away.
Mr.. Fioge Immediately got a small au-
tomato revolver which he always ar
ries along in the car and by keeping
cool succeeded in killing n bear,
which weighed 300 pounds dressed and
was thought TO be about three years
old.
The bear was shot about eleven
miles out of Bayfield, along the Corni-
copia highway near the White farm.
AS there is a closed season on bear,
AL Powell, the local game warden

thousands have been fitted for serv-
Ice in merchant crews, 1t is the ac-

of the apprentices in training.
These apprentices are all Amer
lean young men, a majority Of whom
have played baseball at home, and all
of whom are interested In the nation

the merchant marine, where they
spend their time when ashore, In their
two months period of training, they
find a fine ball team of merchant mar
liners to engage their attention.
The team plays similar teams In the
army or the navy, and the merchant
marine boys are given plenty of OPP
portunity to root for their own serv-
ice.
In addition to baseball, the mer-
chant marine apprentices go in for
basketball In season, for boxing, track
events and rowing. They are taught
