Right you are, Henry, keep it up. ed Another Life. th The following beautiful sentiment is from the fertile brain of W.

"If matter mute and inanimate, though changed bythe forces of na h ture into a multitude of forms never , die, will the spirit of msa suffer an , o i an when it has paid abrief -visit, like a royal guest, to this tene- , 8 meat of clay? No, I am assure that , there is another life as I am that I "live to-day." SDeath of Mrs. John 8. Batler. Afte a long life of usefaines mand 9 good work, largely devoted to the comfort and happiness of those around her, Mrs. John S. Butler laid down the burdens and cares of earth. ly existence and passed quietly away - at the home of her daughter, Mrs. F Jos. P. Landry, at Baton Rouge, last Monday evening,' the 1st of March. Mrs. Butler's maiden name was Mary Ann Hamilton and she was born An gust 28, 1834, at Washington, St. Landry parish, La., the daughter of Judge John Brown Hamilton of Nash ville, Tenn., and Patience Ann Marler of South Carolina. In girlhood she became the wife of the late John L Samuel Butler, a prominent sugar planter of Rapides parish, and eleven of the children of this happy marri- c age still survive. Seven are daugh ters and four sons, namely: Mrs. T. C. Wheadon of. Alexandria, La; Mrs. M. W. Evans of Anvih, Alaska; Mrs Geo. P. Pickens of El Paso, Texas; Mrs. S. P. Womack of Gueydan; Mrs, Joe. P Landry of Baton Rouge; Mrs. L. E. Bentley and Mrs. R. H. Carna P of New drleans; Messrs. F. Pickens Butler of Opelosaes; J. S. Butler of New Orleans; Lee Butler of Alexan dria, La., and Dr. A. H. Butler of El Paso, Texas. The surviving direct v descendants also include twenty-five grandchildren and two great-grand- C children. The remains of the venerable lady U were conveyed to Opelousas and laid to rest in the beautiful Protestant cemetery Tuesday evening beside those of her beloved husband, who preceded her to the grave nearly twenty years ago. The funeral ser vices were conducted according to the rites of the Episcopal Church in the presence of sorrowing relatives L and sympathizing friends. By her gentleness, charity and kindheartedness Mrs. Butler endear ed herself to all who knew her. She loved birds and flowers and all of na tulre's works, while her fondness for children and sympathy for the suffer ing and afflicted were among the strongest impulses of an unusually strong character. It was a fitting close of such a life that she passed 4 into the great beyond as calmly and peacefully as a child falling to sleep. -Donaldsonville Chief.
