is the brave staunch defender of tem-
perance in that mountain fastness.
We went at once to the W. C. T. U.
cburch, whose graceful spire ever
points heavenward in company with
the lofty pines. This is the only
church in town and was built by the
indefatigable efforts of this enthustias-
tic Scotch woman. The church is
finished in a neat and appropriate
planner and bas a neat church organ.
The pleasant audience room was
handsomely decorated with great
branches of snowy dogwood blossoms,
ases and pots of brilliant wild-
flowers. The platform was strewn
with the mossy fragrant spruce tassels.
The gaudy Paul Nevous and La
France roses that were taken up by
the Chico ladies, looked homesick as
if they wished they had not come.
They did not at all enjoy the company
of this entrained, free, stately, self
contained mountain bloom. There
were meetings and greetings of the
wotnen of Magalia church and the
room was soon filled, people coming
from Peutz and the surrounding

disease and despite all that could be
done she departed this life, Tillie suf-
fered considerably at times bet there
was a hopefulness and patience about
her that buoyed her up. Before she
went into unconsciousness she bade
theinembers of the family an affection-
ate farewell with the assurance of
meeting in the Father's House bye
and bye. She was a good looking,
jolly young lady, ever ready to aid in
church work and had a wide circle of
friends who loved her dearly and sin-
cerely regret her• demise. Funeral
