MAINE GOSSIP
The Old Home

1u6 via t1OIu6
There's, path of gold tonight upon
the river,
Among the ripples, where the moon
beams like to play,
The whip-poor-will is calling from
the willows,
While the night winds whisper soft
ly on their way.
On the hillside just beyond, there
stands the old home,
1t is falling now to ruin and decay;
came back to view the scenes of
happy childhood,
Just to cheer me as l went along
life's way.
But still within, there is restless
longing,
The old scenes alone have ceased to
cheer;
1t was the loved ones, now sleeping
in the churchyard, q
That made the old home and the
scenes to me so dear.

Lumber company, and one of Boze-
mans most prominent, active, and
highly esteemed business men and
citizens, died at the Deaconess hos

Mr.. Copeland's death was unex-
peeted and when news of his passing
was made public Wednesday morning
it occasioned scores of sincere ex-
pressions of deep sorrow aid regret.
Mr.. Copeland, it can be said, had
been in failing health for Is months,
but so bravely did he endure his suf-
ferings that only a few of his
friends were aware of them. Until
Tuesday afternoon, when he was hur-

INJURED WOMAN'S
CONDITION GRAVE
Hope For Recovery of Mrs. c. F.
Henry, Train Accident Vic
tim, Virtually Abandoned

Hope for the recovery of Mrs.
Charles F. Henry, who suffered
grave injuries Saturday afternoon
when struck by a Northern Pacific
train at Manhattan, had virtually
been abandoned Wednesday after
noon, according to a statement given
The Courier by her husband, who was
at her bedside. Tuesday night pneu-
monia developed and this, with the
seriousness of her injuries, greatly
reduced her chances of recovery.
Mrs. Henry was struck as she was
crossing the tracks at Manhattan.
Evidently she became confused when
she saw the train approaching and
could not avoid it. She suffered con-
cussion of the brain, a deep wound
in the scalp, four broken ribs and
numerous bruises. A physician was
at once called and gave first aid, anc
later Mrs. Henry was brought to the
Deaconess hospital here. Sunday she
was conscious a part of the time, but
her condition on Monday was more
critical and since then has shown NJ
improvement.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Henry
son, Forrest Henry of Seattle, VIII,
travels for. the Westinghouse com
pany, is with her here. Mrs. Henr.
has for many years been a residen
Of Townsend and has host of warn
friends there who are deeply grieve,
over the accident she has suffered.
