"Amelia was an ideal student a kind baited and sweet faced girl. She was loved by her teachers and school limb's and by all w ho knew her. She was not only an ideal stu dent but an ideal Chi 1st iau. Often have 1 asked the question, "Why should one le taken so young and so promising!" Invaiibly theans wer comes, "(iod only knows." Death at any age is mysterious, but not more so than life itself. These hurts of ours go throbbing on day lifter day, mouth after month, null year after year until sooner or later the mysterious mechanism slops and we call this death. Wi ethe spirit has taken its Might. In the bright happy days of youth we don't expect death but some times it comes and westand appall ed Is fore its sudden and awful work. Death is always sad, but when it comes to the young it is doubly so. Teachers and school-mates are overwhelmed with sorrow, and pa rents and brothers and sisters give up their loved ones with bleeding hearts. '1 never had a liettcr student than the subject of this sketch. Her face we can never see again on this earth, but she has left a re cord that shall shine in the minds ami hearts of those w ho knew he.r like the U'aiilifiil stars. The Keeley Institute.

The good Lord, hrethern, who made me made a daisy!" From an Illinois axchange we get this story of the slickest duck xx e have heard 01 tor many dav. A nasseimer on a Wabash train pretended to be ill. He opened his grip and took out a hot-water bag which he got the porter to fill with boiling water. Then he opened his luncheon basket, took out a piece of steak wirmcd it on the water bag. Af ter he had eaten the steak, he un screwed the stopper of the water bag and poured himself out a cup ofcolfee. He had the grounds in the bag all the lime. We have been hard at work on a preparation that we hope will, tutu out all right. It has been a .lull lime in a div town and we have become an inventor to keep from going crazy. We have in vented a combination salad dress ing and hair tonic which lays over any thing that ever came down the pike. It will cure liaidness, and it's a delicious dressing for to matoes, lettuce and cold meats Besides that, it it a good shoe Dolish and will remove urease spots from old clothes, and is the best toothwash we nave ever seen.
