DEATH RECORD.
The funeral of Gerald Holmes, who
died Tuesday night, was held from
the M. E. church Friday forenoon at
10 o'clock. The building was not
large enough to give room to all
who wished to pay respect to the
universally loved lad, whose long
illness and untimely death touched
the very heart cords of the entire
community.
The altar, pulpit and organ were
fairly banked with beautiful flowers
and superb wreaths nearly covered
the casket. Rev. C. E. Trusbload
conducted the services, preaching
i sympathetic sermon. Beautiful
hymns were sung by a union choir.
The pall bearers were W. F. Savaga.
Herbert Browning, Irving French,
Arthur Pace, C. F. and Will Zurchsr.
Behind the caiket marched the boy
members of Get aid's class in schoal,
then the bereaved one, relatives
ind friends in carrlagss, making a
long cortege that slowly moved to
the cemetery where the suffering
wasted form was laid to rest. Among
the out-of-town temple at the funeral
were Mr. and SID, Fred J. Holmes
and MUs McDonald of La Grande,
.r. and Mrs. E. A. Holmes and son
.iJdward of Wallowa.
IN MEMORIAM.
It has bean we 1 said that "Death
oves a shining mark." How true Is
his In the death of Gerald Eaton
iolmes, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R.
-lolme.s, o: this city. Gerald's entire
Ife of 14 brief je rs, 4 months and
43 days, has been spent In this city
ind his tie -th is a shadow felt by
he entire community. His bereav
ed father, mother, sis.er and brother
ire comforted In their sorrow.lby the
ender memories , of his beautiful
ife. Among the most conspicuous
-raits of his charac er was his genial,
;enerous, loving nature which made
lim a universal favorite among the
oung pe:ple and he also had the
are quality of companionship that
jndeared him to older people
io that it Is we 1 said of him
'None knew him but to love him,
Vor named him but to praise."
During his la:e illness ht fortitude
inder great suffering was most
wonderful. He also showed at all
imes the mojt tender solicitude for
he other member of the family who
vaited on him aj lovingly and fakh
ully. His struggle for life was a
irave one but was marked by a
eslgnation to the will of God that
evealed his lemtirul soul.. The
'air young life s j full of promise
ms been t anspl mted that It may
loora In brighter fields than thoss
)f earth and t io igh the "vacant
hair'' In the home speaks ever sad
y to heart that are left most deso
ate, yet the consolation that Gerald
itill lives will sinctlfy this grief to
he home and to the many friends
vho mourn his doath.
There Is no Dea h! What seems
so is transition.
This .lire of mortal breath
ts but a suburb of the life elysian
Whose pjrtal we call death.
'He Is not deid ihe child of our
a fee tloa
But gone unto that school,
Vhere he no longer needs our poor

Safe from tam.tatlon, safe from
sin's lollutlon
He lives whom we call dead."

A
Knew His Name.
The man was jealous, Insanely Jeal
ous, though heaven knows the girl
gave him no cause.
Girls never do.
He knew the name of the man ho
feared.
He did not tell her so, however, but
beat about the bush, as they do on the
stage.
At the same time, when this story
opens, they were having an emotional
tussle. ,
"Oh, George," she. said, "what Is the
matter?"
"You know well enoush." he renllod
bitterly.
"I assure you I do not," she insisted.
"But you do, and you do nothing to
moke our life sweeter."
"Tell me what I should do," she
pleaded, for, though she might be
frisky with George, she did not wish to
lose her grip on him entirely.
"Oh, George, George, why are you
not frank with me?" she pleaded again.
George's face became ashen gray at
her fateful words.
"That Is It!" he hissed, the awful fire
of jealousy blazing In his eyes. "That
is it, Miss SmithUlns. If I were Frank
with you Instead of George, you'd be
all right."
The clrl would have renllpd. hut h
could not. Her tongue clave to the
roof of her mouth.
The other fellow's name was Frank.

"Yes; she has a thirty cent dog."-.

The Emperor's Orderly.
Frenchmen of every rank and class
dearly love titles. The manager of a
Paris insurance company was decorat
ed with the Legion of Honor a few
days ago, and the clerks iu the em
ploy of the company presented him
with a piece of plate to which their
Tlsitlng cards were attached. On look
ing over thtle he was n good deal puz
iled and amuBed by the visiting card
of the office "boy," an old soldier
from the Inralldes, who wns employed
to open the office doors from 0 to 4.
Under the man's name was the title
"the emperor's orderly." He sent
for the old soldier, who stumped In
and saluted.
"Of what emperor are ycu the order
ly, and how?" he asked. The old In
vallde drew himself up to attention.
"I am the orderly of the emperor."
he said, "Napoleon, le Petit Corporal."
"But he is dead. He has been dead
some time," answered the puzzled
manager.
"I dust his tomb for him," growled
the old soldier. London Express.
No Morals In Dreamland.
It as many writers have suggested,
It is the soul Itself that guides the im
agery of dreams, how are we to ex
plain the fact that in this chaos of
ideas and feelings there is so little dis
tlnction betweeu right and wrong that
when dreaming we commit acts for
which we should weep tears of blood
were they as real ns they seem to be.
As Professor Hoffman has said, "The
familiar check of waking hours, 'I
must not do It because it would bo un
just or unkind,' never once seems to
arrest us In the satisfaction of any
whim which may blow about our way
ward fancies."
From all of which we must conclude
that the dream realm is a world that u
entirely oblivious to any moral sense
buu mat, rnougn it may be true that a
troubled conscience mav Drodure nr
affect our dreams, the dreams them
selves are never burdened with a con
science. Bohemian Magazine.
Going Some.
Being pursued by a farmer and his
three sons after being caught In the
chicken yard, a young colored person
nna just made up his mind that be
was not eluding his followers as quick
ly as might be when a long eared Jack
rabbit Jumped up from the roadside
and started down the road ahead of
him. The would be chicken thief had
run a few hundred feet farther when
the farmer and his boys were aston
ished to hear the negro shout in a
voice that qunvered with fright,
though unrestrained, "Say, for de Lord
sake, you rabbit, get out ob de way
and let some ouc run who can run."

Tax on Hats.
Not only have hats at various times
been subject to taxation, but have even
been made the subject of special laws.
Thus In Henry VII.'s reign none was
allowed to sell hats at a larger price
than 20 pence or caps for more than
2s. 8d. Somo condensation, however,
for this Interference with free trade
could be found In the fact that In 1571
on Sundays and holidays every one
above seven years of age was required
to wear a cap of wool of English make
under penalty of 3 farthings fine for
very day's neglect. London Chronicle.
