A VERY SAD DEATH
The Little Baby Boy Os Mr. and Mrs:
Thomas Fahy Is Dead.
ITS LITTLE LIFE FADED YESTERDAY
The Foaeral Yesterday Alterneon From
the House By Rev. Father
Clifford.
It will pain th* many friends of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Fahy te know of the
death of theii sweet little baby boy.
The light has gone out of a happy
home and the star that had scarcely be
gun to shine above the harizon of life has
been clouded forever.
The closing of those baby eyes brought
a crushiag anguish upon the hearts of
those who had learned to love the little
thing so tenderly.
Just at a time when all the world is
bright with happiest anticipation and
when the laughter and song of merry
children fills the crisp and sunny air with
a newborn joy. Death has laid his icy
hand on the most precious blossom in all
the love garden and has plunged the
household into the depths of deep be
rievement.
It is such a sad, sad thing that every
heart goes out to them in tendest con
dolence and may God strengthen their
spirits under this burden that is so hard
to bear.
These little ones came to us in all
their delicate loveliness, and tbe ten
drils of their tiny beings entwine
themselves about our hearts,
Day by day we watch them as the
tender bud blooms into the full blown
flower.
We learn to listen for their innocent
prattle and to long for the clasp of
their innocent hands that are so trust
ing and so weak and so helpless, but
so full of love and confidence in us.
He must, indeed, be a good man to
merit the love of a little child. Their
innocent gaze fixed upon us keeps ns
from erring many times.
They are the tablets of God’s love
and confidence in us, for He gives
them to us trusting that we will teach
them to love and serve Him, and to
lead blameless lives.
And oh, how we love them! 'there
is nothing so near and so dear to the
human heart as these tiny ones.
But in the darkness and desolation
that follows the death of the little
one, we have the sublime consolation
that it has been simply translated to
a higher sphere.
Long ago there was One who said
“Suffer little children to come unto
me and forbid them not, for of sach
is tbe kingdom es heaven.”
The birthday of that Holy One we
will celebrate day after tomorrow
with joy and thanksgiving.
The little one does not need the toys
that we had purchased for him. The
music of Christmas melodies fall un
heeded on bis ear.
But in tbe land of eternal sunshine
and song he hears the glad anthems
that ring out in joy unrestrained, for
ever and forever!
The great Being who is the author
of all the good and precious gifts in
this world will give him a grander
Christmas greeting than earth has
ever known.
Were such a thing possible we ought
rather to rejoice than to weep, for the
baby one has gained that goal toward
which we all are striving without be
ing made to suffer all the pain and the
pathos of life here below.
But we cannot rejoice over the tak
ing away of one whom we cherished
so fondly. The light of many a hope
ful dream faded when his gentle spirit
took its flight to the realms Beyond.
“The Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh away, and blessed be the name
of the Lord!”
That is all that we can say. We
will try to lay away our sorrow and
regret along with tbe tiny garments
folded away as souvenirs of an angel’s
visit to our earthly home.
But long, long will we miss the little
one whose presence was a source of
such unfailing pleasuie to us all.
All sympathize with them in their
sadness and sorrow.
Time, alone, and the goodness of
God, can heal the wound. The cica
trice will remain forever. But though
the afflicted parents have kissed the
little one a loving good night, the
angels of God have kissed him gaod
morning.
The funeral occurred from tbe house
yesterday afternoon, and the little
casxet was covered with flowers. The
four little brothers who acted as pall
bearers made a sweet and impressive
scene, and tears could not be sup
pressed from any eye. Rev. Father
W. J. Clifford conducted the last sad
rites.

keys for Christmas, call and see him.

A DEPLORABLE AFFAIR.
Two Minor* Made Drunk on Whisky Sold
On Sunday.
One of tbe saddest hearted men in
Rome yesterday was a gentleman well
known here, who is a resident of the
suburbs. Sunday his son, between
fourteen and fifteen and fifteen years
of age, and the son of a prominent
gentlemen in a neighboring town,
secured a pint of whisky.
According to their statement they
purchased it from a liquor dealer in
Rome Sunday.
They wont to church under the in
fluence of liquor, and the gentleman
who was here yesterday was told of
their condition.
He went to the church and found
his boy so drunk that he did not know
his own mother. She and his father
were both overwhelmed with mortifl
cation and grief over the condition of
the two boys.
The latter made a clean breast of
the matter and told where they got
the liquor, and it is probable that the
gentleman referred to above will pros
ecute the man who sold them the
liquor.
LG. Todd has large stock of fire
crackers, roman candles, sky rockets,
torpedoes, whistling bombs for the
boys.
