Tribute To
Frank Ireland

The funeral services OF young Frank
Ireland were peculiarly affecting. A
noticeable feature was the large at
tendance OF elderly and even of very
old people. In the attending audience
were men from all classes, business,
professional and working.
This young boy. scarcely IA years
old. died within few feet Of the
place Of his birth. He had done
nothing worthy of note during his
short life. OF him the words Of the
poet Gray might well be written:
Here lies youth, to fortune and
fame unknown" yet his death had
called together an assemblage Of
friends greater than in many cases
honor the funeral rites Of some
notables.
That he had been suffering for
months from an obscure. incurable
disease which even a post-mortem ex-
animation has failed to explain. was
well known to many. That he bore
his sufferings with the same fortitude
which has made the names of similar
boys famous in foreign lands during
the last few years, no doubt contri-
buted to the feeling of admiration and
sympathy of which he has been the
object for months.
The services, solemn and impress
sive. conducted by the Rev Father
Fem. were to those who have the
comfort OF belieff very affecting. To
those who can not believe. they were
incentive to gentle reflection from
their very simplicity.
The young. stalwart. athletic pail
bearers, clad in their neat-ftting
cadet uniforms, full OF life and vital
ity. which but shortly before was
shared by the classmate now lying in
the embrace OF death, by contrast,
gave emphasis to the difference be-
tween the active life. full OF hope and
anticipation. which they represented.
and the long sleep now enveloplng the
young eomrade OF only yesterday.
AS the features were exposed TO tho
last gaze OF the friends assembled. one
could not but notice the play OF emo
tions featured on old and young faces.
