Mandtord, Once more it is our melancholy duty to write of the great uncertainty of life which has been manifested in the death of Rhoda K. Handford, second daughter of the late Isaac Handford.

She was a pretty and amiable girl of a loveable disposition and had won to her side large numbers of friends among the Junior League of the Methodist Church of which she was an active member. Her funeral on Monday afternoon, was a very impos- ing one. In the procession were about fifty members of the League, ' besides sympathizing friends in large'•numbers, The casket bore several beautiful flor- al tributes, the largest of which was contributed by the League. • Mr. and Mre.

If newspaper men had opportunities for discovering the bad in men, says the New Haven, Conn., Leader, they also have opportunities for discovering the good. The newspaper men find out a great many things that they never print.

They also have knowledge of the good deeds' performed by scores who never allow their left hand to know what their right hand has been doing in efforts to benefit mankind.
