IN M~1EMoRIAM

In Loving Memory OF our beloved
mother Sho parted from US 3 years ago
today, July 2. 1917.
A precious one from us has gons,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place Is vacant in cur home which
never can be filled.
In a near and lonely graveyard,
Where the trees their branches wave.
Lies our beloved mother,
In a cold and silent grave.
Friends may think We have forgotten
her,
And our wounded hearts are healed.
Little co they know the sorrow
That's in our hearts concealed.

UP TO DATE GHOSTS

Fiction readers who like
haunted houses and mySte-
riouS noises in the night,
and ghost dOingS that baf-
file explanation, should stop,
look, and read right here.
For "The House of WhiS-
perS" is well named. It's
even more fascinating than
the Old-time haunted house,
because it's a mystery
apartment in a big city
buiIding-the lovely heroine,
for instance, can creep
along a ledge from one win
dow TO another in the dead
Of night, and a wonder
full pearl necklace can dis
appear from a WaIl-safe
and find its way back again,
and the superintendent and
his employees can faSten a
charge OF murder on the
hero, and there might be
room in the walls for secret
passageWayS. But there is
nothing neW-faShlOned or
queer about the loyalty and
devotion Of the heroine for
her lover in trouble; it's the
same glorious thing that
has thrilled us all ever since
true love ceased to run
smooth. And Of course she
gets the reward that she
deserves-and they live
happily ever after.
