Nick Flack, sr., fornierlya pros-
perous farmer of Key West town-
ship, but now of Grant county,
Oklahoma, has been visiting jttre
for some days. Mr. Flack came to
this county in the early days and
was one of the first settlers of Key
West township. He was also in
business here for a time. Although
80 years old the sixth of this month,
Mr. Flack does not appear as old
as most men at sixty and is in ex-
cellent health. Cola Hill, south-
west of town, and Mr. Flack were
born on almost the same day of the
month, Mr. Hill being just one day
older. Mr. Flack's Oklahoma
farm is just fourteen miles from
the Kansas line aud is in the midst
of the wheat country. He and his
son have 170 acres of wheat good
for eighteen bushels an acre besides
pasture for cattle, etc. He thinks
it is in the garden spot of the
country and says that everyone in
that part of Oklahoma seems to be
prosperous.—The Jeffersonian,
Burlington, Kansas.

COMFORTED.
"Since he went home" the world is gray
and sad,
His sturdy step, his ringing laugh, they
linger round me yet,
His bright young presence that made all
our lives so glad,
In memory brings one longing passion-
ate regret.
T reach my weary empty hands acrois the
years,
That spans my life to the eternal throne,
And wonder why my joy is turned to bitter
tears,
Yet know that somehow, somewhere, I
will find my own.
The sweet enunciation that made Mary's
joy,
And glorified all Motherhood, no other
Blessedness could so possess me, I've borne,
I've given up my boy.
My life is fuller, deeper, all complete, an
angel calls me Mother.
