We would say to her friends and relatives, weep not for she is sweetly resting. Her life’s work is ended; her voice, is forever stil; her chair is vacant. And while we weep over the mound that covers her sacred form, her spirit is bask ing in the sunlight of God’s glory. Oh, how she is missed at Sun day school, but so sadly missed at home.

HENRY Copyright. 1907, by the McClure company. Golden by day uud silver by night, a new trail now leads to us across the In dian ocenu. Dusky kings and priuces have found out our Bombay of the west, and few he their trails thut do not lead down Broadway on their Jour ney for to admire and for to see. If chance should ever lead you neur a hotel that transiently shelters some one of these splendid touring grandees, I counsel you to seek Lucullus I’olU among the republican tuft hunters that besiege Us entrances. 1 first saw Mr. I'olk coming down the steps of the hotel at which sojourn ed Ills highness the gnekwar of Haro da. most cullghteued of the Mnhratta princes, who of late ate bread and salt in our metropolis of the Occident. I.ucullus moved rapidly as though propelled by some potent moral force that imminently threatened to become physical. Behind him closely follow etl the Impetus—a hotel detective. Safe on the sidewalk, I.ucullus Polk turned and shook a freckled fist at the caravansary, and, to my Joy, he hegau to breathe deep invective in strange words: ’’Rides in bowdahs, does he?" he cried loudly and sneeringly. “Rides on elephants in howdnhs and calls himself a prlncel Kings—yah! Comes over here and talks horse till you would think he was a president and then goes home and rides in a private dining room strapped on to an ele phant!” I murmured a few words of sympn thy. “The last one I sold.” continued the displeased oner “was to that three horse tailed Turkish pasha that came Over a year ago. Five hundred dollars he paid for it, easy.” As soon as Lucullus Polk got cool enough I picked him up, and with no greater effort than you would emplov in persuading n drowning man to cluteli a straw, I Inveigled him into accompanying me to n cool corner iu n dim case. And it came to pass that men »"rv ants set before us lirewage, and Lncul lus Polk spake unto me, relating the wherefores of his beleaguering the nntechambers of the princes of the earth. “Did you ever hear of the 8. A. anu A. T. railroad in Texas? Well, that don’t stand for Samaritan Actor's Aid Philanthropy. I was down that way managing a summer bunch of the gum and syntax chewers that play the Idlewlld parks 111 the western ham lets. Os course wo went to pieces when the soubrette ran away with a prominent barber of Beevlile. I don’t know what became of the rest of the company. I believe there were some salaries due, and the last I saw of the troupe was when I told them that -13 cents was all the treasury contained. I say I never saw any of them after that, but I heard them for nliout twen ty minutes. I didn’t have time to look back. But after dark I came out of the woods and struck the S. A. and A. P. ageut for means of transporta tion. He at once extended to me the courtesies of the entire railroad, kind ly warning me. however, not to get aboard any of the rolling stock. “About 10 the next morning I steps off the ties Into n village that calls Itself Atascosa City. I bought n thirty cent breakfast and a ten cent cigar and stood on Main street Jingling the three pennies in qiy pocket—dead broke. “All of a sudden, while 1 was stand ing on the edge of the wooden side walk, down out of the sky falls two fine gold watches into the middle of .the street. One hits a chunk of mud and sticks. The other falls hard and flies open, making a fine drizzle of lit tle springs and screws and wheels. 1 looks up for o balloon or an airship; but. not seeing any, I step* oil the sidewalk to Investigate. “But I hear a couple of yells and sec two men running up the street In leatli er overalls and high heeled boots and cartwheel hats. One man is six or eight feet high, with open plumbed Joints and a heartbroken cast of coun tenance. He picks up the watch that has stuck in the mud. The other man. who is little, with pink hair and white eyes, goes for the empty case and says. ‘1 win.' Then the elevated pessimist goes down under his leather leg bol sters and hands a handful of twenty dollar gold pieces to his albino friend "The little man hustles away with a kind of Swiss movement toward a Jew elry store. The heartbroken person stoops over and takes a telescopic view of my haberdashery. •' 'Them's a mighty slick outfit of ha blliments you have got on. Mr. Man.' says he. ‘J’ll bet a boss you never ac quired the right, title and Interest in and to them clothes In Atascosa City' '• 'Why. no,' says I. being ready eoough to exchange personalities with this moneyed monument of melancho ly. ‘1 bad this suit tailored from a spe cial line of roaterieks. vestures and pantings in St. Louis. Would you mind puffing me sane.’ says I. 'on this watch throwing contest?’ " ‘Me and George.' he explains, ’are un from the ranch, having a spell of ‘ujjk. t'-'nst month we owned four Stored grazing down on But along comes one of these oil prospectors and begins to bore. He strikes a gusher that flows out 20,000—0 r maybe it was 20,000,000 —barrels of oil a day. And me and George gets $100,000—#75,000 apiece— for the land. So now and then we saddles up and hits the breeze for Atas- | eosu City for a few days of excitement and damage. " ‘You must have knocked around a right smart.’ goes ou this oil greuse us. ‘1 shouldn't be surprised if you have saw towns more livelier thau what Atascosa City Is.’ “Then this Mother Cnry's chick of the desert sits down by me and we hold a conversation fest. It seems that he was money poor. He’d lived in ranch camps nil his life, and he con fessed to me that his supreme idea of luxury was to ride Into camp tired out from a roundup, eat a peck of Mexican beans, hobble his brains with a pint of raw whisky ami go to sleep with his boots for a pillow. When this barge load of unexpected money entile to him and Ills pink but perky partner George, and they hied themselves to this clump of outhouses called Atascosa City, you know what happened to them. They had money to buy nnythlng they want ed, hut they didn’t know what to want. Their Ideas of spendthrlftlncss were limited to three—whisky, saddles und gold watches. "Was J on to the opportunity? Lis ten. "In thirty minutes I had (lashed off a word picture of metropolitan Joys Yw OB w$ « “as soon as soi.i.t saw unit he got cr AND WALK KD OUT.” that made life In Atascosa City look as dull as a trip to Coney Island with your own wife. In ten minutes more ■we shook hands on nil agreement that I was to act ns his guide, interpreter and friend in and to the aforesaid wassail and amenity. And Solomon Mills, which was his name, was to pay all expenses for a month. At the end of that time if I had made good as director general of the rowdy life he wus to pay me SI,OOO. “The next day George, who was mar ried of something, started hack to the ranch. Me and Solly, as I now called him, prepared to shake off our moth balls and wing our way against the are lights of the Joyous east. “Solly puts SII,OOO in century bills In one pocket of his brown ducks and bills of lading for SIO,OOO on eastern banks in another. Then I resume dip lomatlc relations with the 8. A. and A. I’., and we hike in a nort It westerly direction on our circuitous route to the spice gardens of the Yankee orient. “We stopped in Han Antonio long enough for Holly to buy some clothes and eight rounds of drinks for the guests and employees of the Menger lintel nnd order four Mexlean saddles with silver trimmings nnd white An gora Htiaderos to lie shipped down to the ranch. From there we made a big Jump to St. I»u1h. We got there In time for dinner, and I put our tbumi prints on ttie register of the most ex lienslve hotel in the city. “•Now." says I to Holly, with a wink at myself, 'here’s the first dinner sta tlon we've struck where we can get a real good plate of beans.' And while be was up In Ills room trying to draw water out of the gas pipe I got one Huger in the buttonhole of the bead waiter's tuxedo, drew him apart, Iu serted a two dollur bill and closed hiui up again. "‘Frankoyse.' says I. *1 have a pat here for dinner that's been subsisting for years on cereals und short stogies You see the chef nnd order a dinner for us such as you serve to Dave Fran els and the general passenger agent ot the Iron Mountain when they eat here. "At 0 o'clock me and Holly sat down to dinner Hprend! There's nothing been seen like It since the Cam Ism snack. It was nil served ut once. The chef called It dlnnay a la poker, it’s a famous thing among the gurmnnds of the west. The dinner comes In threes or a kind. There was guinea fowls, guinea pigs and-Guinness' stout; roast veal, mock turtle soup and chicken pate: shad roe. caviar and tapioca: ranvasbnek duck, cnnvasbnck bam and cottontail rabbit; Philadelphia ca pon. fried snails and sloe gin. nnd so on. in threes. “I wits sure Solly would be tickled to death with these bnnds after the bobtail Dubes he'd been eating on the ranch. PERUNA SAVED MY I LIFE. “I Recommend It Wherever I Am.” — “I boughta Mrs.JehnM. Stabler. bottle of Pa rana and commenced taking it. I found I was getting tome hotter, but thought I was not doing as troll as I might. 80 I wrote The Peruna Medical Depart ment, to see what they thought about me. They gave me special directions and medical advice. To our astonish ment I Improved and am to-day a well woman and weigh as much as I ever did in my life. “I tell my friends that Peruna saved my llfo. X rocommend it wherever I am, and when any of our folks are sick, I give them Peruna with success.’' «- REVIVAL MEETING When we say revival we trust that such it will be. A “pro tracted meeting” may not be a revival. The word revival means “to return to life." This is a gen eral term, and its application is as broad as we may see fit to use it. If business is dull the citizens would say, “Let us devise a plan that will revive our business.” If the intellectual or social interest of the community is on the wane the same Question, “What can be done to revive them,” would a rise. If the religious vitality of our community is below par, the same statement, “We need a re vival,” is on the lips of the peo ple. ( Bishop Pierce ’sdefinition of a revival on Bible lines was: “God worshipping, neighbor-loving and debt-paying revival.” Do we need revival life on such lines? The answer is apparent. The primary condition for improvement in any line is the deep realization of its need. (Contentment with pres ent achievements in any under taking is paralizing to its progres. We could have no more auspic ious prospect for a revival than for our people to be alarmed over the present spiritual atrophy of our community. We could then expect the into then co-operate with our organized forces to bring it to pass. We have planned to begin this meeting May Ist. Rev. M. Dunaway will assist us. He is known personally by some of our people. All who have had thepriv ilege of being in bis meetings have felt the influence of a man who is in touch with God. We cordially invite the pastors and members of other churches to co-operate with us in thismeeting. A real revival will result in a har vest for all the churches. Good singing is a vital adjunct to any meeting. We trust that all will help at this point. Our presiding elder, Rev. W. T. Irvine, will be with us for the second Quarterly conference on April 28th. He will preach at 11 o’clock on Sunday. The hour for conference will be announced later. A. S. HUTCHINSON.

Few men can distinguish pride from vanity; perseverance from Btub bornneas; economy from avarice. The same !» true of courage as dlstln gulnhed from effrontery.
