It is but a few days since the husband of this estimable lady passed away and the shock attending his death was one of the leading causes for the wife's decline and death. Ever since the death she had b6en In a condition which worried her child ren, although It was not realized until a few days ago Just how criti cal her condition was. During their long married life they had lived very happily and when her life mate passed into the Great Beyond, her soul seemed to prepare itself to fol low him. So she sank to Bleep this morning Just as the grey of dawn had passed away and the day awoke. To the cnudren of the deceased her death came as a very great shock, made doubly so by the Iobs of their father. They had never known of aught but kindness and help from their loving mother and the affections which only a mother can bestow had more than endeared her to them.

Hpreml ii Cheerful Word Did you ever go out in the morn ing with a heart ho depressed and saddened that a pull Heemed to spread all over the world, but on meeting some friend who spoke cheerily for a minute or two, If only upon different matters, you hnve.felt yourself wonderfully lightened? Even a child dropping Into your house on an errand has brought In a ray of sunshine which did not de part when he went his way again. It Is a blessed thing to speak a cheer ful word when you can. "Every heart knoweth Its own bitterness" the world over, and thoso who live In palaces are not exempt, and good words to such hearts are "like ap ples of gold in pictures of Hllver." Even Rtrangers we meet casually by the way, in the .traveler's waiting room, aro unconsciously influenced by the tono wo use. It is the one with pleasant words on his lips to whom the stranger in a strungo land turiiH for advice and direction. Take It na a compliment If some wayfare come to you to direct them which street or train to take. Your man ner ha Htruck him as belonging to one ho can trust. Jt Is hard some times to speak a pleasant word when the shadows rest on our hearts; but nothing will tend more to lighten our spirits than doing it. When you have no opportunity to speak a cheering word, you can often aend a full beam of sunshine to the heart of some sorrowing friend by writing a good, warmhearted letter. lleturnH from Kansas City.
