Three years before they had eloped in Oregon. She was rich and
la was poor and there is the whole story. Her father had money
ad loved money and objected to a poor man being taken into the

But love and youth and ignorance and inexperience and Cupid,
manipulated tho affairs, as they always do, and tho wedding was sol-

So here they were. Ditter indeed was tho fruit they were tasting

But she was far from whimpering. She walked, walked until her

But sho had taken him to be her own, in spite of fate or fortune

So thev walked westward. cettinr out of the country where there
was no more work on account of the strike of 1 893. He was proud of
acr courage when he thought alwut what they were doing, and the

It had all come true. All that the friends and family had prophe-

But she stuck to him.
She had made if choice and was villine to be faithful to it.
Others mieht do otherwise, but she would stick to him to the last

Those who had pitied her for her ignorance in going with him

The following poem, which was a
favorite with the late Senator John
H. Mitchell, was read at his funeral
service by Rev. K. L. House. It Is
entitled, "Misunderstood," and the
name of the author was not given by
those who asked that It be read at the
funeral:
Not understood, we move along
asunder, '
Our paths grow wider as tho sea
sons creep
Along the years: we marvel and wonder
Why life Is life, and then we fall
asleep.
Not understood.
Not understood, we gather false im
pressions
in'd hug them closely as the years
go by,
Till virtues oft seem transgressions;
And thus men rise and fall and live
and die,
Not understood.
Not understood. Poor souls with
stunted vision
Oft measure giants by their narrow
gauge.
The poisoned shafts of falsehood and
derision
Are oft launched against those who
mold the age.
Not understood.
Not understood, the secret springs of
action
Which lie beneath the surface and
the show
Are disregarded. With dissatisfaction
We Judge our neighbors, and they
often go.
Not understood.
Not understood. How trifles often
change us:
The thoughtless sentence or the
fancied slight.
Destroy Ions: years of friendship and
estrange us
And on our souls there falls a
freezing blight:
Not understood.
Not understood, how many breasts
are aching ,
For lack of sympathy? Ah, day
by day
How many cheerless, lonely hearts
are breaking.
How many noble spirits pass away,
Not understood.
O God, that man would see a little
clearer,
Or judge less harshly what they
cannot see;
O God, that men would draw a little
nearer
To one another; they'd be nearer
thee,
And understood.
