A TRIBUTE TO MRS. W. S. JONES.

The funeral service for Mrs. Willard S.
Jones, at her home Tuesday afternoon
were so impressive as very outstanding
expression of love and respect, that it
seems most proper and fitting that mem
tion of it should be made for the benefit
of large circle of friends, who were un-
able to attend and observe the splendid
floral testimonials of her pure and unself-
ish life or hear the heartening eulogy of
life lived in an uplifting service for not
only her own but all of Gods children
within her touch or influence. The per-
feet democracy of her life was most re-
markably and beautifully attested by
self imposed restraint and suppre sion of
noise and celebration always incident to
our greatest national holiday. May not
the self sacrifice of the children and
the youna folk of this beautiful hamlet
of Brooks become the most enduring tes-
timonial of the day-a RECOGNITION that
our beloved Lena, hitherto most active in
every service, religious, civic and social.
had passed to her home eternal.

at 10.45; sermon topic: "Divine Law
and Human Obedience" A cor
dial invitation is extended to all. Here
let no man be stranger. "Whoe6ever
thou art that enterest this church, leave
it not without q prayer for thyself, for
him who ministers and for those who
worship here"
A happy life is one that yields obedi-
ence to certain plain and approved COM
mands; an unhappy life is one that re-
fuses obedience. God and nature are not
one; but the life of nature 10 one expres-
sion of the divine life. As all human
knowledge and experience lead to the be-
lief that natures laws are changeless and
inexorable, SO do all our knowledge and
experience but deepen the conviction
that the laws of God in human conduct
and destiny, are likewise changeless and
and invariable. There is no more an ele.
ment of chance in the one than in the
other. A man chooses his course; he
does not choose the results of that course.
They are inevitable. 1t 10 no more cer-
tain that . stone thrown into the air will
fall toward earth again, than it is that q
man who refuses to submit his life to the
commands of God, as approved by twen-
ty centuries of experience, will grow
more selfish and shallow, and find life in.
creasingly unfrutful. Here are sources
of all deep and essential happiness. In
this respect we need only note that there
is no other poetry of true happiness any
where to be found equal to that of the
hymns of the church. They are an ex-
preston of the deepest human experience
of fifteen centuries. A former well known
public man, one time governor of mid
western State, said in one of his CAM
paigns for reelection he was invited to
be the guest of the people at q county
fair. 1t was an all day affair. In the
morning the governor made an address.
After dinner he was again called upon.
"What shall / talk about2" he asked.
''Don't talk; let's all sing 'Blest be the
Tie that Binds, said voice. THAT
happened to be my favorite hymn" said
the governor. 81 started it; everybody
sang; and stood before them leading the
singing. Then the fair closed; and right
then and there, in the singing of that
hymn, as l afterwards learned, / was
elected governor of the State. No orau-
ment of mine, or of any other man, could
have had the effect of that hymn upon
tn. minds of those leople"

1t is generally believed that the

Llorcas uncle is governor of the

that his resentment was more due to
criticism of the administration in Vera

The Famous Fruit Medicine

Indigestion, Weak Digestion or

the most serious of present-day
complaints.
Those who suffer with Indigestion,
almost invariably are troubled with
Rheumatism, Sleeplessness and ex-

"Fruit.a-tives" will always relieve
Indigestion because these tablets
strengthen the stomach muscles,
increase the flow of digestive juices
and correct Constipation, which
usually accompanies Indigestion.

FIRE IN POLICE STATION
North Adams Officer Suffers Broken
Leg Fighting Flames.

The interior Of North Adams police
station was badly gutted by an early
morning fire of unknown origin today.
Police Captain Frank Jones suffered
a broken leg in the fight against the
flames which threatened to suffocate
four prisoners.
The building was an oldfashioned
brick structure and had been thought
TO be more or less of fire trap for
some time Although the station
stands to the rear of the State street
fire house, the blaze got too much
headway in the walls and floors Tor
water or chemicals to be much serv-
ice.
