Occa sionally everyday life furnishes Inspir ation to some gifted words that so enrnpt the heart thut they do not per ish. Recently a La Grande man heard of the death of his brother a only son and among other things ho wrote to tho brother was the following beauti ful thought encouched in the plain Lincoln-like language of permanent life: "It is cfrtainly a hard blow to losu your only son at a time when he can do tho most for you and himself.
