In Memoriam.

In sad but loving remembrance OF
our dear mother, Marietta Hopper,
who departed this life November q,
1919.
Mourn her not, she is safely anchored,
Angels led her all the way;
Rich in mercy. Jesus called her
To the land of endless day.
Noble at her post she stood,
NV mother kind and true;
Beloved by a her friends SO well
And kind to all she knew.
Into sweet rest she has entered,
No more TO grieve nor to weep;
She is smiling upon us from heaven
Our dear mother has fallen asleep.
Home is sad, oh God, how dreary,
Lonesome, lonesome, every spot;
Listening for her voice till weary,
Ny mothers hands ! miss them
now,
Never again until they rest on my
brow. :
But | know in a happier, heavenly
cline,
Dear mothers hands, will clasp
you some time;
When my feet touch the waters so
dark and so cold
And | catch my first glimpse OF the
city of gold.
Dear mother, we are sad and lonely
tonight,
To think how soon you passed away:
Our hearts are so heavy, our grief is
our pain,
Dear mother, whom death had to
claim.
Then farewell, dear mother, our loss
is your gain;
We hope to meet you in heaven
where there is no pain;
Farewell, dear mother, it is bitter
cup to say farewell,
We hope to meet someday, then we
shall understand.
By Her Niece. E. Powell.

PHOENIX. Feb. Ie.-S.x feet Of
snow in the White mountains and a
serious shortage Of fuel at Fl. Apache

fall in the mountains. Henry said that

AL the mountain streams are re-
ported to be stslT frozen over, except
at Rapids.
According TO Henry's report, the
railroad from Hoibrook TO CooIey's
