Cut down In the heyday hey-day of youth, the death of Julius Iverson Iver-son is but another verification of Mrs. Hunan's telling jines: "We know, when moons shall wane ' When summer birds from far shall cross the sea. When autumn's hue shall touch the golden grain. But win shall teach us when to look for thee? Is it when spring's first breath 1 Comes forth to whisper where Ihe violets be?
