,tanhope Hamilton Logan.

Stanhope Hamilton Logan.
The session of the First Presby-
terrain church Of Oxford, Mississippi,
desire to make some record of their
high esteem and affectionate regard
for their friend, their beloved brother
in Christ, Stanhope Hamilton Logan,
and of the heavy loss which they, in
dividually and collectively, have sus-
tanned in his death.
Born in Marshall county, Missis-
sippi, June the twenty-seventh, 1867,
he died, March twenty-six, 1919, at
Fort Worth, Texas, while on his way
back home while on hisb (eotototem
back home from Mineral Wells, with
er he had gone in the hope of recover
ing his health.
For many years he was closely
identified with the business interests
of Oxford, his name being synonym
for sound judgement and unquestioned
integrity. At the time of his death
he was cashier of the Guaranty Bank
and Trust Co., Of Oxford, which IN
stitution he had been largely instru-
mental in establishing and to which
he had given not only his best efforts
but also the support of that wide cir
Gle of acquaintance in the town and
throughout the county, who trestcd
him implicitly as man of rugged hon
esty and accurate knowledge Of men
and things.
On April two, 1899, he was ordained
Ruling Elder in this church and
served as such with marked fidelity
during the remainder Of his life. For
the greater part Of this time he was
the church treasurer, able and eff
ficient. Wherever opportunity offer
ed for the Lords service-the Sunday
School, the prayer meeting, the choir,
he was ever ready and glad to do
his part. AS teacher of the Mems
Bible Class for years and, later, as It's
president, he proved himself "a work.
man that needeth not to be ashamed. "
He was gentle, kind, charitable, toler-
ant, yet firm and unyielding in his
convictions. Intelligent, strong and
child-like in faith, he accepted, without
question, the whole word of God. AS
q member of the Session, he was a
wise counsellor, respecting the views
Of others, and yet independent Ill his
thinking, reaching his own clear-cut
conclusions.
In consideration Of these facts, be
it resolved,

sensible Of our loss occasioned by the

Dear Bud:-
Well have just finished my days
of leisure, but take it from me it
wasn't days Of leisure. ~ sawesome
great sights and now l will eIdeavor
to tell you Of few things that | have
seen.
Well, in Paris l saw the kings pal
alec which is the finest thing ever
saw. 1t cost over Is millions OF dol-
lars, covers over 40 square acres In
acoutal building surface; is almost a
mile long; and can comfortably sleep
over thirty thousand people. Think
of that built for one family and the
poorer class Of people had to pay the
taxes. No wonder this country is al
ways at war. The play ground Tor
the kings children cost millions OF
dollars. There is race track around
the palace that cost millions OF dol
lars, and the buckles on the harness
were of gold and buttons on drivers
costume gold, all paid for by the king.
saw the temple Of Jupiter and the
Alter Stone of Notre Dame. The
church of Notre Dame was built in
the year $50. In the church ohe
kings and queens are married. When
\ king or queen dies they are buried
in this church and little red cap Is
left hanging from the top Of the cell
ing directly over the dead. In this
church is the statue Of the Virgin
Mary. The windows are the most
beautiful you ever saw and today if
the windows were broken there is not
q man living who could replace them.
The organ is very large and beautiful.
There are over 5000 pipes in it. The
organ is played only on special oc-
casions. This church is $50 feet long
and $50 wide and there is no uniformi-
ty to the church whatever. In this
church is place where the crippled
and invalids go to be healed and near

are French commanding officers.
Saw where the kings and queens were
beheaded during the earlier wars. Il
is said that on an average Of one a
minute was beheaded here for while
/ saw Grandes Peraissance OF
France. Went to Versailles and saw
the palace of Louis IA. Went through
the lovely gardens. Saw tomb to De
La Guirre, whispering bowls. Great
est art gallery in the world; Venus
De Milo, Victoria of Samathrace, and
many other such sights. Just few
words about the city of Paris before
I leave it. Paris is a very beautiful
city and it's subways are just as fine
as New. York ever was and take it
from me, there are many good, good
looking women there and they are not
scared of you. l will write you more
about Paris later, so now we will go
down in Spain on the Mediterranean
sea and all over the Pyrennes Noun
tains., Well, there is not as much
of interest to you in Spain as in Paris.
l enjoyed myself very much, and take
it from me, had a fine time free of
charge. The government pays all
necessary expenses on these trips.
The Y. M. C. A. sure is doing their
part over here. Now they can carry
us to the various interesting spots
and tell us all about them. It didn't
cost me a penny to make the trip.
There is United States hotel there
and all is free to the boys. wish
you could have been with me riding
on the mountains and looking down
for hundreds of feet. I got up one
morning and looked out the window
and saw on the mountain tops on
Summer where we were. had some
pictures taken on a bridge over a
stream that separates Spain and
France. I m sending these pictures
home.
saw one fthe greatest Cathedrals
in the world. It is divided into three
sections-or rather three churches all
together. In this church there was a
place where invalids 60 TO be cured
OF various diseases and leave their
clutches laying there. There looks to
be over a car load left there. The
place we went 70 was very small but
a beautiful summer resort. In the
hotel there are many nurses and Y.
M. G.. A. women. There We're many
dances there, and, Of course, l was at
home. saw hot sulphur water gush-
ing out of the mountains at the rate
of over 100 gallons per minute. We
got sulphur baths there. Every man
in the A. E. F.. is allowed to go on
a ten-day pass and the government
pays all expenses. There are special
trains running for such as this every
day. The boys in the A. E. F. don't
have to work hard and are enjoying
great privileges. Every day we go
out and have ball game and have
five or six big bands to play.
There is no telling when I will get
home. l am having a H of a
time. AUDLEY.

CHAPTER XVI.

Daphne had watched Leila's little
scene with as much confusion as the
other two Kips. She felt normal
amount of jealousy, OF course, as wom-
an to woman, but no more than q
healthy amount. for she liked Leila
and she was grateful to Leila for be-
Ing able to rescue her father and for
being willing TO. 1t was fine thing
FOR Leila to strip herself OF her last
splendor to help an old father-in-law
pay the interest on a mortgage on a
house In another town. Daphne gave
leila full need Of applause for that.
What emhtter-d d Daphne was that
II had to be Leila and not herself that
saved her father. and that Leila had
to do the deed by spending things she
had not paiu for herseif-ornuments
sewgaws. gifts.
Leila had collected from life perhaps
three thousand dollars worth of jew
els and Daphne had collected a fifty
dollar check, framed-and that check
was la lieu OF work As soon as she
remembered that check she ran up to
her room and took Ii down from the
wall. ripped off the back OF the frame
aud removed the check from the mat.
She studied 1t and thought. THE
first money and the last" Then a
vigor and determination clenched all
her muscles in ii kind OF lockja jaw. She
came out OF the spasm In a tremor OF
hysterical faith. She spoke her
thought aloud In a fury: 1T sha'n't be

The feeblcneSs OF the eSpletive dis

That was doubly false. She had
said something. In the slang OF the
hour she had said something" She
had "said an earful," also a heartful.
Mrs. Chivvis supposed that what she
had heard was some voice from the
street. and went back along the hall,
stitching as she walked.
Daphne took the check and went
down to Bayard's apartment. Bayard
was on his way to the pawnbroker's.
Leila was In his room. Old Wesley
sat in chair facing a wall. He seem
ed TO see through It. Daphne went TO
him and put the check In his hand, ex-
planning what il was.
