The cow bells tinkle over the hills,
Midst clover-bloom and daffodils,
Where yellow legged honey bees
Make sweet music on the breeze,
Where little fish swarm the streams,
Where a barefoot boy sits and dreams,
Dreams of honor, wealth and fame,
Plans to win in life's great game.
The cow bells tinkle over the hills,
Midst daisy-blush that ever thrills;
A famous millionaire bowed with age
Sits and dreams in his mansion cage.
Dreams of childhood's bubbling streams,
Far, far away from selfish schemes;
For what is honor, fame and wealth,
Compared to youthful joy and health?

water and lights, and many other ad
vantages too numerous to mention.
And last, but not least, only about

The almost fourteen years of soli
tary confinement to which of his 67
years of life paralysis had condemn
ed, Mr. John Wilcox, were ended by
his death last Monday. It would be
mockery and hypocricy to say in
such cases such a release is not a re
lief, both to their immediate victims
and to the relatives and friends whose
patience and endurance is so severely
tested, and which in so many instan
ces "suffereth long and is kinu."
Life is no longer enjoyed but borne
as a burden. Death is a compensa
tion to the afflicted one; a palliation
to the bereaved; Poe describes it
when he speaks of the tearful angels
:Ain : 4-u- i l.i. ..

Sit in the theatre to see
The play of human hopes and fears."
And Shakespeare tells us of
"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and to
morrow creeps in this petty pace
rom day to day."
Mr. Wilcox spent more than ten" of
these weary years in Tryon. During
he first of them he was frequently
seen in public; but as time went on
he was forced to lead an entirely in
door life. Even then he was bv no
means obscure and inconspicuous:
ess so than many other men fre
quently and constantly in contact
.vith outdoor life. His was not a
personality easily overlooked. He
was possessed of unusual intelligence
a keen, well trained and well-inform-
2d mind; alert to up-to-date news and
events; a great reader, alive to all
topics, surrounded by a large, varied,
.ven seiectea ana elegant library.
Both residents and visitors as long
as possible, solicited the privilege of
his companionship and conversation.
it should be added ; that this promi-
1 .1 1 m
ience. wnicn sucn iorced seclusion
would ordinarily have prevented, was
partly, due to the business, artistic and
aJClal activities of his wife, 'son ana
laughter.
In his business career of over
thirty years he was remarkably force
ful, diligent and energetic, with pro
lounced executive talent. He was a
graduate of the Philadelphia Poly
sechnic Institute; a charter member
)f the New York Engineering Club;
i member of the American Institute
)f Mining Engineers, of the Ameri
can Society of Mechanical Engineers,
ind of the Sons of the American
Revolution. .He was first engaged in
she steel business in . Pittsburg. He
;hen visited Germany for the purpose
f securing the Otto-Holfman bi
oroduct coke oven patents. He built,
md in some cases organized and su
3erintended some ten or a dozen large
ndustrial establishments, one at
'east the largest of its kind in the
world including the coke oven plants
)f the Cambria Steel Company, at
Johnstown, Pa. ; the United Gas &
Z!oke Co., of Philadelphia; and other
works in Boston, Cleveland and Syr
acuse, where he was stricken down.
He himself admitted that this was
he penalty of his excessive industrial
nd social activities. No one can la-
nent his final reprieve from the pre
nature collapse of a useful and valu
able career. E.G. H.

Where the Real Danger Lies.
A Boston physician has soundedtthe
warning that there is more or less dan
ger in wearing clothes. There may be,
but the most danger lies in the path
of a man who attempts to trip mer
rily through this life clad in filtered
mnshlne and a two days' growth of
whiskers.

We wish to correct a few mista'ces
appearing in the Walker items of l3st

boned, her birthday is in July. Also
the facts concerning Mr. R. M. Con
