GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY. AUGUST 28, 1913

OBITUARY

There is a time which comes into the lives of all which needs must bring us to Death. Death, that seemingly cruel monster which is inexorable, for there is no deviation from that law which bids us return to that dust from which we sprung. The flowers have budded, bloomed, and withered.

So is it with life. Generations have been born, lived and passed away, so will it be until the end of ages. As the mists of dawn were supplanting the darkness and the clouds of night, on the morning of August 13, 1913, another life departed, and added one more to the already multitudinous numbers that" have passed away.

Noble Clarence, only child of Charles D. and Lillie Scott, was bprn in .Hancock County, Indiana, February 9, 1895, and departed this life, aged 18 years, 6 months and 4 days.

He received his very early education in the Greenfield schools later in the township schools from which he graduated in the class of 1910-11. He entered High School at. Maxwell in the fall of 1911. His health, which was never strong, soon began to fail, and he was compelled to abandon school work. This was a sad blow to him indeed, as it had always been his ambition to complete his high school work and enter a veterinary college. This ambition remained with him until the last. He was a lover of good literature, always preferring the enjoyment derived from that source to those things which usually were sought by other young men. Noble was a faithful attendant at Sunday school and church as long as he was able. When Sunday morning came he would say: "Papa, isn't it about time to be getting ready for church?" He was a great lover of home, interested in all its undertakings, and was ever a loving, faithful and obedient son. During his sickness his father and mother were ever at his side, patienfly and gently caring for him but to no avail. Noble was one who engaged, in or an a a to boast of any kindness he had! is us an a pi it a and will be sadly missed by his affectionate parents, other relatives, and his boyhood associates. But we bow in bumble submission to the will of our Heavenly Father, knowing that He doeth all things well.

There's a soft grey skv, and Vhe great sea, loo, Takes on the same soft pearly hue The sky and sea seem to blend in one,

And the mist for a time otfscures the sun But the sky lights up with a rosy glow,

Behind the cloud of mist, and lo! The misty curtain rolls up high, Leaving a view of the sea and sky.

When banks of mist our lives enshroud, And we feel we are under life's darkest cloud, If we patiently wait our sorrows may flee,

As the mist that rolled from the soft, grey sea. Wave after wave rolls in on the shore

Effacing the traces of each one before And this is emblematic of life,

Then why all our sorrow and care and strife? —Thelma A. Bussell.

'THE SIGN AT SIX"

By Steward Edward White. Author of The Blazed Trail, The Conjuror's House, Etc.—Illustrated By

M. Leone Bracker, $1.25 Net— The Bobbs-Alerrill Company, Indianapolis.

From the prolific* pen of that excellent story-teller, Stewart Edward White, comes the novel called "The Sign at Six." It may be taken for granted that it is interesting, well written and out of the ordinary, for Mr. White has demonstrated his ability too many times and has won too large an audience to leave any doubts about the merit of anything he may choose to write. A glance at the contents proves that it is Mr. White at his best, and yet the book contains a big surprise, for it discloses the author in a new vein, but one which is altogether as charming as that in which he wrote of the great outdoors, the secrets of which he knows so well. "The Sign at Six" is a novel of New York City. But what a New York it is! Imagine, if you can, that this great, hurrying metropolis, so utterly dependent upon modern scientific luxuries, should suddenly find itself in the grasp of a scientist who has discovered the startling secret of suspending the operation of natural forces but, alas, a scientist, whose brain has been turned by its cunning and who instead of being a great creator has become a destroyer, seeking vengeance on one man, and unmindful of the fact that millions must suffer likewise.

Hidden away, no one knows where, this madman ruthlessly pursues McCarthy, the all-powerful political boss, the enemy of the people, whose destruction the luna-tic-scientist feels divinely commissioned to effect. By wifeless, he keeps in touch writh the outs.de world, warning McCarthy and promising to send him signs at 6 o'clock every evening. He keeps his promise to the letter, and there ensues such a reign of terror as no modern city\has ever known.

First of all, electrical currents are stopped. Telephones are silent, electric bells refuse to ring, trolley cars stand still in their tracks, automobiles are unable to run, the subway trains stop in their tunnels and the city is plunged in darkness. Then comes the second sign, and the pall of a night that can not be lighted, wraps itself around the building in which McCarthy's office is located. The third sign brings silence, and the fourth and most terrible of all, cuts off the heat waves at a given spot and the mayor and other city officials, freeze to death in their offices.

Through the story there runs a current of love, and the heroine is equally as charming as the hero.' She gives her assistance when it is needed, and her sprightly conversation is always appreciated. All in all, "The Sign at Six" is the kind of fiction that makes a broad appeal. It is primarily intended for entertainment, and it serves its purpose, admirably. Yet, it has another purpose which is different from the average novel of imagination. Its theme rests upon a solid basis of truth and it drives home the fact that present-day man, although in many ways superior^o his ancestors, has come to rely so entirely upon mechanical invention that he fails to make use of the natural faculties with which he has been endowed. The booi is well illustrated by M. Leone Bracker. dw (Advertisement)
