never expected to square up the old
account.—Ex.

Wolfenbarger at the Baptist church,

very strongly with the democratic
idea of free trade. He said that it was
not the silver-question nor the change
of administration nor the threatened
danger from the Wilson bill that
placed the country in its present financial distress but the immense sums
spent for strong drink. When he asked,
toward the close of the meeting, for a
show of hands as to" the sentiment of
those present as to the iniquity of the
liquor power, there was an almost
unanimous vote against it. When he
asked for a show of hands of those
who believed that through the prohibition party their wish could be soonest
accomplished there was a large vote of
women but a small vote of men. The

They had confidently expected to see
this mare lower her own world's record of 2:04 next season. She made
several attempts last season, but* her
nearest approach to the mark was
2:04f, which was, however, the record
of the season. When, a 3-year-old
Nahcy gained'the record for that age
at 2:24i; she also made the 4-year-old
record of 2:14$, and she established a
record for 5-year-olds at 2:05. She was
six years old when she made her famous performance of 2;;04. This may
stand a record for some time, but
hosemen are looking foic- great things

great showing last season.

This morning as the gray" dawning "
light, which brought on the bright   .
clear day, was streaking up in the east,
tbe gentle spirit of Laura Holbrook   -J
passed away.   As' the gray morning;
changed into sunny day,,so her young'
life has entered Into-a brighter day-
than mortals know.   For three* weeks
she had been dangerously ill, Tuesday I
she thought death was near and talked   ■■
resignedly of the end, even wishing to   ;
go.   Yesterday it* was thought that"  :
she was better, bat it was a delusive'   i
hope.   She passed* away as gently as a
sleep—indeed, she only sleeps. '
Laura Holbrook,   daughter iof Mr.
and Mrs.' Thomas Holbrook, Sir:, was* .."
twenty-two years old the seventh of
November last.   Her birth-place was
Ottawa, Canada.   Her parents came_
to Flint ten years ago, and a year late?
to Clare where she entered the public
school.   Attention,    gentleness,   and"
faithfulness were her characteristics..'..
She graduated with the high school:^
class of 1890, with S£ven others.- For:"*
some time past she was clerk and'book--: '
keeper for Elden & Holbrook, winning-   :
every one by her gentle, womanly ways. \
It is a short record—a brief life," but"-- •*
she leaves behind with her school asso-,';'
ciates and other young friends an influence and memory that^will not be, -
brief.   There are many heavy hearts.   -
that go out in sympathy to the be-7
