He was born September 6, 1906, and was aged 3 years and 19 days a‘t death. He leaves to mourn, a father, mother, sister, grandparents and numerous relatives, but they mourn as those who have hope and can say; ‘‘Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep, “Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, from which none ever wake to weep.” The little crib is empty now, The little clothes laid by; A mother’s hope, a father’s Joy In Death’s cold arm doth lie. Go, little pilgrim, to thy home On yonder blissful shore; We miss thee here, but soon Will come Where thou hast gone before. The relatives desire to thank the friends who assisted them in their ’little son’s sickness and death. BIG PROFITS.

He’s got a hen a’ready, too; He brung her home to-day— An’ she won’t have a thing to do But Jay en lay en lay! En all the aigs of that old hen, He’ll hatch, en sell, to broil— En pop, it does beat him, why men Will fool with Standard Oil! The farmers, they stay pore, no doubt, ’Cause they ’take aigs, en Tow Old hens to set en hatch ’em out. A hen, she don’t know how! She ain’t got no thermometer To regulate the heat; En pop won’t trust no aigs to her; She hes to stop en eat. En fools around for half a day, En ’spects her aigs to hatch. The farmers fool with her that way En spoil the whole darned batch. But pop, he ain’t no Reub, what’s green With hayseed in his clo’es; He seed it in a magazine— En so, my pop, he knows! —Chicago News.
