In loving memory of our mother, Mary Emma Lindler, wife of John C. Lindler, died August 11th. 1911. We have lost our darling mother, She has bid us all adieu; She has gone to live in heaven, And her form is lost to view. Oh, that dear one! how we loved her; Oh, how hard to give hei up! But an angel came down for her And remoyed her from our flock. Earth has lost its look of gladness, Heaven seems to us more bright, Since the spirit of our dear one Took its happy, homeward flight. And we long to cross that river, Long to rest up m that shore, There to see, and know, and love them With the Savior evermore. We miss thee from our home, dear mother, We mi9s thee from tby place, A shadow o'er our life is cast, Wa rnioo fVi a onnoViino fliw f ana y o Uiioo uuu OUUOUAUW VI &uvv* We miss thy kind and willing hand, Thy fond and earnest care; , Our home is dark without thee? We miss thee everywhere. Precious mother, she has left us, Left us yes forevermore; But we hops to meet our loved one, On that bright and happy shore. Lonely the house, and sad the hours Since our dear one has gone; But oh! a brighter home than ours, In heaven is now her own. Call not back the dear departed, Anchored safe where storms are o'er On the border land we left her, Soon to meet and part no more. When we leave this world of changes, When we lea?e tbis world of care, We shall find our missing loved one In our father's mansion fair. Farewell, dear, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part?no never! On the resurrection morn. Tho' thy darling form lies sleeping In the cold and silent tomb, Thou shall have a glorious waking When the blessed Lord doth come. ?Written by her dear children. Quarterly Conference.

General Wood of the English army was the hero of many adventures, but the one he called the strangest is the time he rode a giraffe in India. With a party of friends he was being entertained by the rajah of Jowra, who exhibited his rare collection of wild animals to his guests. General (then Major) Wood was a daring horseman and on a wager offered to ride the giraffe with no bridle save a rope. The raiah warned him of the danger. but he would not listen. So the giraffe was brought to a balcony, from which the major vaulted on its back. Instantly the great creature was off like the wind. and. once fairly started, it settled down into a curious gallop that soon made the rider so sick and dizzy that he fell off like a log, receiving a blow on the head from the animal's knee and then in the face from its foot. lie was unconscious for an hour, and the first use he made of his voice was to resolve that he would never ride a giraffe again. Morgan as a Mathematician. J. P. Morgan was almost bred a mathematician. While at Gottingen Morgan specialized in mathematics, and with the professor of mathematics he would spend long hours at problems. Some years ago a number of New Yorkers who had been at the Gottingen university together held a dinner and invited their old professor of mathematics., who happened to be i visiting this country, to he present. ' The German stood bis ground?be j gave thera his own idea. Looking at j Mr. Morgan, he said that he was inj deed very glad his old pupil bad suc! ceeded so well as a banker. "But J j regret." he went on. "that you did not j remain at the university. Had you i stayed with me you would have been i my assistant as long as 1 lived, and j unquestionably at my death you would I have been appointed professor of j mathematics in my-place."?Metropolj itan Magazine. ? Dust Whirls. Seaward flowing waters are not j alone responsible for the denudation ! of soils. Those who have watched dark dust storms approaching will be interested to know that estimates of i solid material suspended in the air run ! from 1G0 to 120,000 tons per cubic miles of air where such storms are prevalent The aeolian geologist Udden, taking conservative values and ' using fairly accurate data for the num| her, velocity and duratiou of the dust i storms in the western states, concluded that "on the average about 850,000,000 tons of dust are carried 1,440 miles each year, thus doing in this region alone about 1,225.000.000.000 mile tons of transport.'* The dust whirls run each an average distance of 21S miles. Millepedes. The little creature which possesses the distinction of having more legs than any other animal is that which belongs to the family of insects known as millepedes or thousand footed. There are several different species of these, but-they all possess the common characteristic of having segmented bodies, each segment of which is provided with its own pair of feet. These are set so closely along the body as to resemble hairs, and when thev move one after another with perfect regularity the effect is precisely the same on a small scale as that of a held of oats undulating under the influence of the 'wind. Some species of millepedes have as many as 350 separate and distinct legs.' They are all perfectly harmless. Encouragement Enough. "But why should you be so dreadfulj ly surprised and disappointed when I decline your offer?" she asked recently. "1 am certain that 1 never gave you the least encouragement to propose to me." "You did!" he cried bitterly. "You gave me the greatest encouragement." "When?" "When you told me your income was i $25,000 a year."?Cleveland Plain Deali er. ? ? j Subscribe to The Dispatch. ixington; at J. S. isvilie; Dreher Br ON, S- C.
