McClure's Summer Rea dins:
%
The summer numbers of Mc-
Cluse's will contain an array of
entertaining reading that is par
ticularly adapted to the season.
From an editorial announcement
we find that there are to be sev
eral new features presented in
early numbers. Among them
the most note worthy in promise
as shown by the first paper in June
number, are the Ellen Terry
Memories. Tois is no formal
autobiopraphy. The portions to
be published from time to time
deal with separate events of Miss
Terry's life. Into the fifty yeara
which have elapsed between her
entrance on the stage to the
wonderful jubilee celebration of
last yerr, that crowded Miss
Terry's fiftieth year on the stage,
are crowded some of the most
fascinating memories; but it is
the peculiar merit of Miss Terrys
recollections that, more }han ahy
description, they suggest her
own delightfel personality, her
vivacy and the equisitive femin
ine quality which is inherent in
every part she acts.

Route No. 1 News
One of the sadest deaths that
ever occurred in this part of the
country was that of Miss Minnie
Propst on last Sunday evening
she was the oldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Dan Propst. The
noblest tribute that could be paid
to her memory would be a plain
unvarnished account of her daily
walk and conversation before
i God ana man. A nobler, purer,
and more Christ like character is
i seldom found. We had so hoped
that God would spare her life to
us and grant such a noble char
acter a longer containance among
us, but it pleased God to take her
> from us, because she was ripe
for His kingdom, because it was
best for her and because it was
best for us all. We know God can
► do no wrong, and He does not
■ willingly afflict us, and that in
t the appointed time and in the
t appointed way His dealings will
t be made clear.
