The Mourners.

It's sad to mark the early doom
iof one whose life we prize; so on
our faces there was gloom, and sor-
row in our eyes. what time we gath
cred at the tomb OF. William Wads-
worth Wise. 1t turned our blood
to whey and eurds to plant him on
the hill, although the pastor spoke
some words that gave us all a thrill /;
he said he'd known men who were
birds but none could beat old Bill.
He was a great and gifted gent of
virtues manifold; he never owed a
NAN cent but always paid the
gold, and everywhere that William
went he knocked the speed laws
cold. To every worthy cause he
gave with free and open hand;
though generous. he yet could save,
and with the thrifty stand; and
when he scorched along the pave
the speed laws all were canned. He
treated all men just alike, as being
equal made, he smiled on Pete and
joked with Mike, and love for both
displayed; and when he hummed
along the pike he made the speed
laws fade. But sterling worth will
not avail when autos overturn: we
found him in a ferny vale hard by
babbling burn, and by his grave we
raise our wall, and consolation
spurn. And thus we see true merit
pass, and murrnur, That is that
and William Wadsworth Wise, alas,
no more will come to bat, because he
would step on the gas and knock
the speed laws fiat.

GOLD AND BLUE STARS
FOR U. S. SERVICE MEN
Plan Proposed for George Wash
ington Memorial Building Feature
Attracting Wide Interest.

Widespread interest Is being mani
tested in the plan of the George
Washington Memorial Association to
provide gold and blue stars in the
dome OF the auditorium in honor of
the American service men in the
world war. according to reports
brought to the associations head
quarters by the workers who are
making an intensive canvass of the
city for the memorial fund. A, gold
star is to be set in the vault for
every man who died in the war, and
blue star for other members of the
American forces
Many individuals and families in
making their donations to the fund
have done so in tribute and as me-
and towns throughout the country
are commemorating in like manner
the service of their own men in the
Army and Navy.
While the communication in the
memorial OF the part of individuals
in the world war is attracting the
attention of many families and indi-
vtduals and towns, many contributors
have indicated a desire that their
gifts be used to provide suitable
memorial for the American soldier.
Many suggestions as to the form this
memorial should take have already
been received by the memorial asso-
citation, but no definite plan has yet
been decided on.
The children of the capital are
helping to make the appeal for the
memorial success. Eleanor Cham
bers, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c. l..
Chambers of the Observatory apart
ments, pupil in the Fillmore School,
has turned in IS for the fund. This
amount she obtained by selling
George Washington buttons to her
young playmates. She stated it was
the first installment of a contribution
to be used as the nucleus of a fund
to represent the interest of the chill
dren of the capital in providing ap-
propriate reminders Of those who
served in the world war.

CARD OF THANKS.

The almost sudden taking away OF
our dear wife and sister April %
brought a shock to US that time alone
can heal. The wound in our hearts
will last until time is no more, but
our sorrow and distress of heart and
mind is made easier to bear by the
thought that she was ready for the
transition and by the extreme good
ness and thoughtfulness of those who
were with us in her last hours, to
whom w shall ever be grateful and
upon whom we ask heavens most
generous blessings. We are truly ap-
preciative of all who have been so
kind in expressions of sympathy.
Christianity shows in all its beauty
when we see its work when our loved
mes leave us.
Sincerely,
David H. Horn,
