After a prayer. 60 male ! ?voices filled the church with the beau tiful melody of "Nearer My God to 1 Thee." After tho sermon, in which the bnsi ' iteBH, statesmanlike and social quali ties of the deceased were extolled, the Orphans' club sang a chant by Ghaw atal. Dr. Magle then pronounced t'he benediction, and in the same order that it arrived, the funeral procession left the church.

I knew that the dopi ! to our family bedroom was lixikdd, j and i heard aomo faint familiar nasal sounds that assured rimuiil wan well. Tho diagnose was rijhi. 1 h a few minutes I was asleep mid playing on the harmoniean mytfolf: My heavy haso echoed to tho tenor in tho other room and awakened one of tho girls, who whispered: "Mamma, mamma.' (there is souk body in the front room." "It's your papa." said she.

I like that man and that kind of talk. When our people roaMzo that home is the best p'ace <$n ortih, and tho mother Is Its dearest inmate wo will have nn Ideal common wealth. Colo ridge Bays: "A mother I* <l mother sUIl The holiest thing alive." ^ Lytilelon says: "The lovpr In tho husband may be lost Hut tho wife Is dearer than tfhe bride." All tho great poets lmve pa'd trlbuta to the home and to., tho mother, for home in not homo without a mother. Of course there are many married Wo a who are in1! mothjpijsjend do not wish to he.
