SEWARD YOUTH.
 GLE|V SANDBECK,
 DIED O|V STEAMER
HOMESICK FOR SEWARD, GLEN WAS NEARING HOME WHEN
 CALLED

Ilen S2ndbeck, aged 12 years, sen of MT. and Mrs. O. Sandbeck, died Thursday night aboard the A. s. s. Go. liner Northwestern, en route to Seward from Seattle where with his mother, he had been visit ing since last July.
 Upon the arrival of the steamer at COrdOva Mrs. Sandbeck had a Cordova physician in attendance until the departure of the vessel, but no hope was held, Glen passing away at 8:58 Thursday evening.
 The news came as 2 severe shock to everyone who had known Glen i'll his lifetime, for he was all that was expressive of clean, intelligent and ebbulient boyhood, manly to a degree and possessed of those en- gaglng qualities which win and retain the respect and friendship ot childhood comrades and mature persons, and just such a son as any parent might be proud of.
 This appraisement is accorded by every man, woman and child in Seward who knew this bright, eb- bulient and manly little fellow.
 Since Glen was wee toddler be displayed those qualities which set him apart as one who was destined to go far if spared such an untime- ly halt in his climb from childhood to maturity.
 He was StudiouS and apt in his studies. industrious and frugal in his habits, athleticallv inclined and a member of the Junior school bas- ketbal team. Even in his tender years he took up and mastered golf which gave him a position of com raderle, not only with his own brothers, but that of elder devotees of the game, who delighted to share his engaging sportsmanship and the intriguing smile he always gave to success or defeat.
 The hours after school dismissed saw him set aside the lures which gripped his young compeers and bending to the eXacting task of handling the circulation of the Daily and Weekly Gateway. In this he was more meticUlCus and eff clent than many of his elders.
 Again we see him, rain or sun shine, snow or blizzard, carrying his newspaper route and piling up treasures of warm friendships and admiration.
 From this he amassed many nlckelS and dimes. Of this he ac- cumul2ted 9 sizeable bank account, far in excess in proportion to many who had greater earning power.
 And yet Glen was not miserly or parsimonious. He paid his score like the clean little sport he was.
 On the top deck of the SS North western was Glens brand new bi- cycle and in his grips were lots of new clothes. But it was the bike he was most proud of and one can pie sure his pride when the little chap intended to show his pals his new machine. Ever since arriving at Seattle Glen was homesick for Sew ard and then he had to be called Just before reaching home.
 It has been known that Glen suf- tered from incipient diabetes, but it was not thought that the end was so near. Hence the poignancy of the grief all of his friends felt when the news of his death came as from a clear sky.
 Tn the passing of little Glen the happy childhood of Seward are be- reft of a splendid comrade and friend To his elders it is Ike the taking of ones own, and such all one as is the dream of every father and mother.
 The hearts of everyone go out to the bereaved parents, brothers and sister, and among these will be the little comrades all of whom are proud to be known as his friend.
 1n addition to his mother and father, Glenn is nourned by his brother Edwin, associate editor of the Daily Gateway, Otto, his elder now enrolled at the Uni
