Elizabeth Davis, who died October 7th was an inspiration to those who love that which is beautiful and good. She was cut off in her very May of youth when a myriad of stars were shining in her hopeful sky. But she gave them up joyfully and went back to the God Who gave her, and in the sublimity of her passing dropped a benediction on the sorrowed brow of her mother whom she loved. It ia often very hard for youth to go, but not so now, for this girl gave it all up and relied fully and completely on the All Merciful. If words were not too feeble to as suage one’s pain and grief, it might be said to her mother in her afternoon of life, that the life and death of hei daughter were a blessing through their gentleness and faith, as indeed they were. But when the embers of life's evening are changing from red to gray, let memory of the way this little life went out and on, be tne mother's solace and surcease of sor row. These words are true. They art given from a soul who knew and lov ed this dear one in her yesterday of life. —A FRIEND. ATTORNEY DECLINES $2,500 Columbus, O., Oct. 15.—-Former As sistant Prosecuting Attorney Wilbur E.

MINISTER TOLD THIS ONE It’s All About a Diamond in a Mush room and It Must Be True. Peru, Ind.—Here Is the champion mushroom story of the season, and it Is regarded as true because Rev. Am brose Bailey, pastor of the First Bap tlst church of Peru, tells the story and submits the proof. Mr. Bailey and Welsel Baber, when searching for mushrooms In the big woods ten miles northwest of Peru, found about four dozen fine ones, which Mrs. Bailey pre pared for the noon meal. At dinner the six-year-old son of Doctor and Mrs. Bailey said: “I’ve got a bone in my mouth," and he took it out. To the surprise of the boy’s parents, the lad had what appeared to be a piece of glass, but on closer in spection it proved to be a finely cut gem, which a local jeweler said was a pure diamond, and he backed up his belief by offering the minister $C0 for the stone. None of the minister’s family knows how the diamond got In the mush rooms. It Is believed the stone must have been lost by someone and have become fastened to the roots of the mushroom. Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Corpue have re turned from St. Paul, Minn., and will continue to reside in Omaha. Edward Morgan, a colored boy of sixteen, who graduated from the New town High school of Elmhurst, N. Y., last June, received a New Pork uni versity scholarship and a silver medal. He was president of his class. Talented. Hepsy—That boy of ours seems mighty fond of tendin’ to other folks’ business. Hiram—Guess we’ll hev to make a lawyer of him. Then he’ll git paid for doin’ of it.—Boston Transcript. Silk Bicuses Are Cool. Wash blouses of silk in stripes oi color are always cool and practical and very good looking, too. They are better for traveling wear than the lin gerie blouse because they do not muss so readily and do not call for launder ing so frequently. This season they come in prettier colorings and stripes than ever before, and every woman should include a few of these silk blouses in her summer outfit.
