ILLNESS of scarlet fever.
| A brief funeral service wa
conducted at 10 o'clock thii
morning by Judge G. H. Ellis ant
the remains were laid to rest il
the Nezperce cemetery.
The family had been in quaran
tine, two elder children having
had light attacks of the malady
and the younger lad had not
shown symptoms until Monday
when he was severely stricken
and grew worse In spite of all that
could be done for him.
The mother of the deceased is
sister of Mrs. w. j. Ingram OF
Central Ridge.
The following lines were dedi-
Gated to the departed lad by Mrs.
j. MI. Ransier:
We laid little Dick to rest
Beheath the frozen sod;
His body rests beneath the clay,
His spirit went to God.
For we know he's safe with
Christ above,
When we think of the promise
given,
How He blessed the little ones
and said,
"Of such is the Kingdom Of
Heaven.
Then we lift our hearts to God in
prayer,
and with the eye of faith
Behold him with the angels there,
His bright and smiling face.
He beckons us from this world be-
low
To fairer worlds on high,
Where sorrow we shall never
know
And the soul shall never die.

In conclusion the committee
wishes to impress upon every one
that all depositors will realize
much more by the organization of
a new bank, than by liquidation
of the old one, and that the money
will be available at a much earlier

deposibors will save double as
much by reorganization as they
will by liquidation. Under hq-

For some time the widow was in

the valentine, then she acknowledged
10 hersef that she had fancied that
the bachelor was quite often Observ-

inclined 10 speak. Her mirror could
not but tell her that she was still a
very misunderstanding woman, though
she would have to own up 70 thirty

AS these thoughts ran through her
mind she said:
"Well, Billy, if / had q valentine I
might be tempted to return the COM

Then the wise Billy thought that
good idea; If he should send Mr.. Hall
a valentine from his mother, then he
would feel still safer about his dog.
The next day just as Billy saw the
bachelor approaching his home he
dropped the valentine at the front door
and ran, making sure that Mr.. Hall
should recognize him.
In q few days Mr.. Hall asked one
of the neighbOrs to introduce him TO
the widow, and finally an interested
party asked permission TO bring him
to call upon her.
Each believing the other had sent a
valentine, they felt somewhat flattered
by the attention, and they proceeded
to he very agreeable to each other.
Mr.. Hall called frequently after that.
He made much of Billy, and even spoke
good word for the dog Billy felt
very proud of himself and his plans
for his dog, but one day his mother
said:
BILLY, Mr. Hall is going to be your
new father"
Billy felt crushed, for as he told one
of his boy friends: 81 didn't want
any stepfather; gee, | was only plan

But poor Billy not only gained a

lost his dog. Bob had not been
