Some day, however and it -wont bo long that old gentleman will torn np histoes. His heart will bei sillied forever. for-ever. There will bo a display of pretty posies and crepo and the neighbors and friends will follow hte lifeless clay out in tho Silent City and Jay it to rest in the deep dark, dark tomb. An obituary will be published in this paper telling what a kind husband, loving fathor, good neighbor, beloved citizen, and how progressive and public spirited he was which tho recording angle will 'overlook for sweet charity's sake and la a short time ho will bo forgotten. As ho lies out thero in tho cold, u'-ld, Griivoyard wrapped in the silent slumber of death, he will never know tho last kind word spoken of him by tho editor or of tho paper he m splte-fuly splte-fuly 'Stopped."
