Smart enough to foot my socks
And mend my clothes like new.
A girl that never pledged a vow
With no other chap but me.
That's been brought up to milk a cow
And have warm cakes for tea.

And make such butter as will sell
For thirty cents a pound.

As melting and as bright.

And save another light.

heavy casting. The piece of iron
struck him in the abdomen, caus
ing internal injury. While able
to be about he was unable to
work and at times suffered in
tense pain. He had a few months
ago considered an operation, but
his chances ot recovery from the
ordeal were not encouraging and
he abandoned the idea. Deceased
was taken seriously ill a week or
so ago and died at nine o'clock
yesterday morning at his late
home, No. 167 east Eureka street.
He was a highly respected citi
zen, well liked by all and during

mains will be taken to YVapako-
