It would be a hard matter for otie to guess the groat number of words that could be formed from tho above phrase, and the many queer new words that one has never heard of before. Howard Brown, aged 12 years, was the best man, having 714 words. The next best man was his brother, Byron, who had 654. Tho lady who succeededed in getting the most words was Miss Grace Mathews, she having 457. Next best was Miss Ella Hollyday. She had looked up an even 400. Tho prize for the best list of words was given to Miss Maud Rogers, who had 360 proper words out of 365. Tho prize was a book entitled “King Solomon's Mines”. The prize for tho best penmanship was given to Miss Anna Swartz, of Walkerton. There wore nearly 100 contestants—some from Nebraska, Kansas and other western states. Also several from Lal’orte and South Bend. I will say that I consider the scheme a good one. and am well pleased with the results. Will give you something harder next time. Yours truly, J. F. REID, Druggist. Gone. “One less at home, The charmed circle broken—a dear face Missed day by day from the accustomed place, One more iu heaven.” Early Thursday morning, April 11, at tho home of her parents in Galien, Mich., Lulu M. Jones quietly passed into the peaceful slumber that knows no waking. Two years ago her sister Grace died stricken with that treacherous malady, consumption, which, not content with its first victim, fastened itself upon Lulu, who though desperately resisting, was compelled at last to succumb to its fatal grasp. Notwithstanding the terror with which she met the disease in its first stages, for the several weeks preceding her death she became fully reconciled to her condition, and to all who came to see her talked with bright anticipation of the time when she should meet her sister in her “other home,” as sho expressed it. And as she talked her face would grow so radiant that no one could doubt her happiness. Just a few minutes before her death she looked up and smiled saying, “Darling mamma, almost there;” then after a little while she said slowly, “Over Jordan,” just as the light faded from her eyes, and without a struggle she breathed her last. Lulu was just budding into womanhood at the time of her sickness and with her beauty and winning ways was a favorite among all her schoolmates and friends, but always seemed wholly unconscious of the admiration and attention given her, never losing that childlike innocence which, with her happy disposition, was after all her chief charm. The funeral services were held April 13, conducted by Elder Gates, pastor of the Christian church at Buchanan, Mich.; and Elder Findley, of New Car^ lisle, Ind. Lulu, was a sister of Mrs.. W. A. Endley and is well known in Walkerton where she lived for several years. Her many friends here blend their tears with those of the bereaved relatives as they mourn for the sweet young life stricken down in its promise.
