ricK had an auto collision out by
the cemetery the first of the

commission but no one was hurt.
They sure picked out a suggest
ive place for an accident

In the death of James Wl
combe Riley, the world loses its
moat human poet. He had the
rare faculty of writing of child-
hood in a way that brought
equally to the child and to the
adult, a realization of childhood
experience. Riley was the per
sonification of kindness and good
will. He never w.-ote a bitter
line, and his treatment of the in
firmatics of life makes the reader
love the sufferer and desire the
relief of the unfortunate. One
ran imagine that Riley has lived
the meaning of one of h;s sweet-
est poems, "There, Little Girl
Don't Cry." At least, he has
brought pleasure to thousands of
devoted readers, who will sin-
cerely mourn his death.
Farewell Dance
Miss Senora Beyers gave
farewell dance to about 110 in-
vited guests last week and it was
a jolly bunch that met to taki
part. Besides the many friends
from Crescent there were guests
present from Guthrie, Lovell,
Hennessey, Cashion and Still-
water. The hall was decorated
in yellow and green and the
dance programs carried out ihe
same color effect. Refreshments
were served and everybody had
a lovely time.
Almon Doolittle.
Almon Doolittle was born Oct.
4, 1844 in Licking County, Ohio
and died July 22. 1916, at Cres
cent, Okla., aged 71 years, !)
months, 18 days.
When but a child his parents
moved to Crawford County, Illi-
nois, where Mr. Doolittle grew
to manhood. In August, 1h73,
he married Mary Lingafelterand
to this union were born five chil
dren, the eldest dying in infancy.
Several years of the married life
of Mr. and Mrs. Doolittle were
spent in Kansas In lfcUl the
family came to Oklahoma and
settled on a farm near Crescent
The most of the past twenty-
seven years was spent on the
farm, but the last eight years
the family has resided in Cres
cent.
Mr. Doolittle was a kind, loving
husband and father, his greatast
interest and pride being in his
family. He was a good friend,
one of those quiet, unostentatious
men who are contaut to go about
doing good.
His faithful wife and four chil
dren, Margaret. Harry, Nellie
and Nettie, also a brother here
and a sister in Texas survive him
and mourn his loss, but it sure.y
must be a comfort and solace to
them to know a gooj man is
missing, that his influence for
the right will always be reraetn
bered in the neighborhoods in
which he has lived.
Here was a father whose great
est ambition was to train bis
children's footsteps in the paths
of right, to do good without at
trading public notice, to fulfill
all his obligations to his family,
his neighboi and himself.
The influence of such a man
never dies; it is like the (lower
that blesses us with its purity
and fragrance, produces seed
and countless other (lowers to
cheer sad htarts wherever they
may be.
