iii ? -H i . GONE TO BEST
After Wn'iHnCss of a few day&; Miss
Montez Shirey answered the final

Miss Montez was converted and
"Joined the Missionary Baptist Church
■ at Sand Springs in 1907. She was de-
„ voted to her Lord and her church,
"faithful in all the affairs of life, lov-
ing, kind and helpful.
Her father preceded her to the bet-
ter world five years ago. She leaves

and friends. Ail were present for the
funeral services which were held at
Sand Springs, Monday evening, June
4th, 1028 by Rev. W. E. Stagner, her

To the bereaved ones we would say.
' look up, the Lord doeth all things
"well, the sepai'ation will not be long.
May God's richest blessings rest upon
^you all, and may her life be exemph-
"fied in yours. In that home up yond-
er she is watching and waiting, smii-
nng, pure and fair; and when trais
here are done, she will greet you
there.

World Needs Wisdom
That Comes With Age
Thauk God for the old folks J They
«*ppl.v the balance so necessary in
not only this but every (lay and age.
Youth may rail at the older genera-
tion for being "old fogies" and "be-
hind the times." But snowy crowns
bring a seasoning of reasoning which
the snap judgment of youth lacks.
Old age can hark back and profit
from years of experience, while youth,
though fired with enthusiasm and am-
bition, has yet to undergo the ordeal
of fire. This "pep" in youth is, of
course, a component part of life, but
we also need that sageness and ma-
turity of opinion which comes only
with advanced years.
One generation, in effect, acts as
a check on the other, yet it cannot
be denied that youth has in the past,
does now and always must, depend on
its elders to impart wisdom and good
advice. Especially today, when youth
is inclined to be reckless, should the
admonition and guidance of the old
folks count for the value that it real-
ly is.
' Life is as the cycle of seasons which
needs its autumn as much as its
spring. Spring is a beautiful ex-
pression of budding life. But autumn
is none the whit less beautiful—ahd
necessary. Though youth, like spring,
gives us love and roses, it remains
for autumn to produce the harvest.
In other words, it is age which gives
the needed mellowness to the green
sprouts of rash youth. i
Again we say, God bless the old
folks!—Pathfinder Magazine.
of them," said old Festus Pester, ''we
should try to slide through existence
as easily as possible, consistent with
honor and dignity—he who falks and
runs away may live to talk another
day. We should bear in mind that
women, politics, weather predictions
and nine-tenths of everything else are
always uncertain, and not fix our
faith too strongly upon them. If we
have cares and ills and miseries and
disappointments and are humbled and
ignored and derided let us remember
that there are always others and they
are generally in town."—Kansas City

Troubles in Plenty
for Court Officials
The master mind in control of.state
and social functions at the court of
St. James occasionally must) solve
some extraordinary problems, accord-
ing to Percy Armytage, who' reveals
himself as that astute functionary in
his book, "By the Clock of St.
James." |
In making arrangements for the
coronation King Edward, Armytage
found he must discover close to Buck-
ingham palace a house large enough
to accommodate the attending maha-
rajah of Jaipur with his suite of 200
and that there must be accommoda-
tions in the same house for a "'cow.
The hqjjse.must also have a well since
he . was finformed that neitheivi: (the
maharajah nor his servants wojuld
touch .water that had flowed through
pipes.
• * Sueh a hoUse finally was found and
then .he turned his attention to ob-
taining the cow. She must have
short horns and be pure white. When
the maharajah came and found all
this provided he took it as a matter
of course and calmly gave indtfrie-
tions that the cow must not "be jt'ijlw#
at any time after bis depetftur^ |but
must die a. natural death. ThiS| ,she

A Sun Secret
A rather dull student found it Im-
possible to believe that the earth is
round, in spite of the arguments of
an eminent astronomer.
"But look here, Johnson," said the
astronomer, "you must see that the
earth cannot be anything else but
round. Now, tell me, where does the
sun rise?"
"In the east, of course!"
"And where does it set?"
"In the west."
"Well, then, how does it manage
to get back in the east again by the
morning?"
Johnson thought hard for a minute.
Then an intelligent look dawned in his
eye.
"Why, of course," he said at last,
"it just slips back in the night!"
