fects of measles contracted one week
previous. His age was 76 years and 6
months. He was the last remaining SOL

children, two of whom died in infancy.
His life was devoted TO his family and
friends His genial, sympathetic nature
and kindness of heart endeared him to
all with whom he came in contact He
will be greatly missed, not only in the
family circle, but the town has lost an
upright and good citizen whose memory
will be cherished and h0nored, always
faithfully filling any office of trust which
was given him, as he was a person of
keen understanding and fine intellectual
qualities with broad liberal views of life
and an advocate of right, truth and justice.
In the seventies he was united in marri-
age with Miss Emma ). Post Of Knox
who survives him with two daughters,
Mrs Frank Hubbard and Mrs. Chester
Harding, both living in Knox, and six
grandchildren. Owing to Illness of other
members of the family the funeral was
private. Rev Frank Timperley of Brooks

ISOLATION to the grief stricken family. The
remains were placed in the Thorndike
Center tomb to await burial in the spring.

linen SIldll We leap W Nat WE nave SOWn,
This we believe, in this we trust.
BeneVolence and compassion,
Are not from ourselves, a thing apart.
Mere mem bership in an order,
Is not an assurance of heart.
Faith, without works, we know is dead.
Life is more than froth and bubble.
Our mission is to help and bless,
Kindness our watchword in trouble.
The rain from Heaven well we know,
Falls not upon the just alone;
But everywhere, on good and ill.,
The Fathers boundless love is shown.
How thankful then, for our privilege
OF doing good in times like these.
Freely to give, without restraint,
And carry comfort over seas.
It is the duty of us all,
Without complaint, Away to stand
Unwearied, through the long, dark day.
Within the shadow lays Gods hand.
We cannot hear unmoved, the cry
That greets us now on every hand.
Peace, means not fealty to ease
But binds to labor's frmer stand.
We must not deem it sacrifice,
But a Joy, sublime and true,
To save and serve the fatherless
And hopefully to carry it through.
IT'S ours to cherish, and uphold,
The lessons by our Chapter taught,
Assured, that only good can come,
When life with only good is fraught.

STOCK MARKET

BY BRoADON WALL.


New York, April l0.-After several
violent and spasmodic advances in the
stock market today, in which u. s.
Steel played the leading part, there
was a sharp reaction in the last hour
that cut of most of the early gains.
The volume Of trading was in excess
of anything seen recently, reaching
nearly a million and half shares.
In spite OF the sharp decline, in the
midst Of which the market closed, the
undertone was strong. So much short
selling was indulged in that the TECH
meal condition of the market was re.
stored.
Traders were puzzled at the reaction
because nothing tustifying 1t devei.
oped the news.
Perhaps the true explanation Of the
reaction is found in official announce
ment that American international
stock is to be assessed $40 share
thus making it full paid. Immediately
on this announcement that stock
broke about So share.
Selling Movement stsrts.
It recovered quickly, but the shock
started selling throughout the list.
United States Steel was bid up sharp
ly in the hope OF checking the de-
cline, but suspicious professionals
said 1t was bid up to cover short sell
ing in other departments. So steel
itself reacted to where It started
The market reaction was overdue on
technical grounds and II had all the
appearance of perfectly healthy one
such as always occurs in the begin
ming of great campaign OF op-
timism.

surplus equal TO s1.S2 a share, com.
pared with sl.5i the previous year.
