lost the boyish beauty which had made
his talent seem greater than it was. So
he went to London, where his acting
had the same fleeting successes, and then
began to use his pen, under the encour
agement of Irving. The latter writes in
1823:
"Don't cry out before you're hurt, nor
send conjectural bad news, for want of
real all seems to be going very well.
. . . What are you groaning and fret
ring about you are getting money
enough from the Coburg to keep you
going, and the Roulier will bring you in
a rouleau (excuse my small joke) and
the Richelieu, &c, will bring in money
for current expenses."
And again:
"Write to me whenever you please, or
rather whenever you are. in good humor,
but no corking letters fabricate good
news if you please, but suppress all
bad & let us have no suspicions and
doubts constructions nor cut your
fingers in cutting your bread & butter.
I suspect there's more in that cutting
letter of Elliston's than you imagine. I
doubt you've been coming 'captain
grand' on him some previous occa
sion above all things don't doubt &
despond without good reason, remem
ber fortune is an errant female, and most
apt to play false with those who doubt
her. Yours ever, W. I."
THE DEAR DEPARTED.
On Friday night, October 14, 1910,
the spirit of Clarence Bardwell wafted
its flight to the "better land." The fu
neral occurred on Sunday afternoon and
the remains were laid to rest in the Che-
mawa cemetery. The services were con
ducted by Rev. Bauer of Salem.
Poor Clarence, the brave and patient
little sufferer, was about 17 years of ae
and was born to Mr. W. S. Bardwell and
wife at Snohomish, Wash. Something
like three years ago he was afflicted by
bone tuberculosis and during his long
siege of suffering he was patient and
cheerful at all times, and by his many
noble traits of character he set an exam
pie worthy of emulation by all of us
All were his friends and the death of c0
bright and manly a boy left a fepling of
gloom over us.
Clarence was survived only by his
father and one sister, Mr. Richards, of
Dawson City, N. W. T., Canada. Both
were in attendence of the last sad rites
Mrs. Richards having just arrived from
Dawson City. We all extend our sym
pathy to the bereaved relatives.

The Atlanta Constitution, one of the
representative papers of the South, has
this to say regarding the national an
them: Patrons of parks and other public re
sorts throughout the East have adopted
the custom observed in the United States
army of paying the tribute of a silent
salute whenever the band plays
"America, ' the national anthem.
Visit any American post, and as the
strains of music roll out, you will see
officers uncover and place their hats
over their hearts.
It would be a pretty and graceful in
novation if the same practice were observ
ed at Grant park and similar resorts in
Atlanta when the band concerts reich
their regular conlusion with the national
hymn.
Simple in itself and requiring little ex
ertion, the act is a very pret.y tribute to
patriotism, for which everv man is better
off. Ex.
