In Memorlam
This sermon was preached Decem-
ber 14th , by the Reveren d Alfred Ray
Atwood . A. B.( M. A., formerly pastor
of the Congregational Church , Cotuit ,
at the funeral of Mrs. Susie Nicker-
son It was listened to with deep in-
terest. In its adaptednes s to tho
needs of those add ressed , It appeared
especially well fitted to the occasion.
Fr iends: The Scriptu re tells us to
••weep with them that weep." From
your several homes you have come
to pay a parting tribute to one you
loved. We recall today her girlhoo d
days, the court ship and marr iage ;
she carried happiness wherever she
went. Her nature was to rejoice.
I know how vain it is to try to gild
a grier with words; yet I wish to
take from every grave its fear. No
one has a right to predict a futu re
other than happiness. "I go unto the
Father " said Jesus , and "where I am,
there ye may be also." Earth' s prod-
uct enters Heaven. A Soul passes
the Portals of Paradise. The re-
deemed of Earth is rejoicing in the
presence of God. "Thou shalt re-
joice in the Lord. " "Take branches
of palm trees and boughs of willows
and rejoice before the Lord your
God. "
The palm stands upright in the
sun; the willow weeps. The palm
is the symbol of gladness; the wil-
low is the emblem of sadness. Scrip-
ture commands us to "Rejoice in the
Lord ;" with the symbolic palm and
the emblematic willow, "Ye shall re-
joice before the Lord jour God."
In Ever y Life
^
the palm and the willow are associ-
ated. The palm is suggestive of sun-
shine ; an experience which comes
into every life, old or young. The
life of our loved one was full of sun-
shine. There was sunshine in her
soul. To be in her company was a
biessing. To associate with her was
to enjoy one of life's palms. The
willow is a reminder of sadness;
the broken heart and bereavement
comes into the experience - of every
life, rich or poor. Life'B pathwa y
is frin ged with the palm tree of Joy
and the willow of disappointment.
In life's pilgrim age joyfulness and
sadness are mingled. The palm and
the willow belong to every life. In
one hand we carry the palm; in the
other hand we bear the willow. I
have read of an organist who mingled
the Hallelujah Choru s and the Dead
March in Saul. O the tragedy of It;
blending the hosanna with the dirge
That is true in life ; tho' sorrowful ,
we "rejoice in the Lord" and in the
midst of life we are in death , and in
the day of sunshine , sorrow chills as
a winte r's snow.
Changes Characteri ze Life
The sailor returning from a sea
voyage, shouts at sight of the shore.
The sailor on shore sighs for a voy-
age at sea. When sai
l
i ng o'er the
trackless deep on billowed waves
the sailor longs for the foot-paths
of his home-land—for he welcomes
change.
we Have unange s,
for God has so planned that palms
and willows appear along the path-
way of life. During the allotted
years of life we change residences ,
sceneries and societies. At death
there comes a great chan ge; a
change of worlds. At death the
spirit goes from this earth to that
"Undiscovered countr y fro m whose
bourn no traveler returns. "
We Change Societies
at death ; we tempor arily leave
those whom we have labored for
through years of loving service.
•:Yet love will dream und faith will trust
(since Ue who knows our needs la Just) ,
That somehow , somewhere meet we must."
Whittier'a "Snow Bound. "
Death takes from earth even the
happy opirito wko havo alaHl jr talUiH
for the alleviation of the suffering,
and in the succoring of the sick, with-
out the left hand knowing what the
right hand did. I recall instances of
appreciated and unselfish toil in
homes in this parish wher e she is
lovingly remembered by what she has
done. Yes, at death the redeemed
soul enterB a new society, where
"there shall be no more death ,
neither sorro w, nor crying; neither
shall there be any more pain; for the
forme r things are passed away."
God' s desire is that we shall be
Thankful
for both the palm and the willow
of l
i
fe. "Take branches of palm
trees and boughB of willow and re-
joice befor e the Lord your God."
We shall thank God for life's
palms. The tendency is, however .
it successful in life, to congratulate
one's self rather than attribute that
success to the love of God. There
is an inclination , if one becomes dis
tinguished , to feel that meri t is at
last rewarde d and that the worl d
was long in discovering it. The
temptation is to flourish the palm
over one's own head rather than to
"rejoice before the Lord your God."
God is the giver of every good and
perfec t gift Behind an individual' s
gift one should see God as the Giver;
humanity is the Stewart and distribu-
tor of God's bounties. Acknowledging
God "thou shalt rejoice in the Lord"
for health , wealth , happiness , friends
and success as the golden embroidery
on the garment of humanity . We
thank God for the sweet memori es of
Susie Nickerson. Her pleasant word
was a benediction; her kind disposi-
tion has enriched our lives. Wo are
the nobler becau se of her. She has
helped in the development of our
characters. She was one of life's
palms and we thank God for His gift.
We should thank God, also, for life's
willows. The tendenc y is, however ,
to bring in the rose and to leave out
the thorn. There is an inclination to
exhibit the orch id and to hide the
fungus. The palm crowns the display;
where is the willow? History reveals
the fact that humanit y is sloughthful
in seeing the goodness of nature 's dark
side. As one turns the pages of the
past, he sees a blessing has come to
humanity from the world' s willows
The best civilization of the world ha.-;
risen out of a stru ggle with painful
conditions. Histor y shows that
Noble Characte r
is the product of sanctified trib ula-
tion. Jacob was but a man of Israel
until alone he wrestled with a mess-
enger of God , 'till his thigh was put
out of joint; after that Jacob had
"power with God. " Not until after
Paul had "a thorn in the flesh" did ho
know the full grace of Christ and His
power to "quench the fiery darts of
the wicked." It took the agonies of
Geth semane to demonstrate the man-
hood of the Saviour. For the Son ot
God was "a man of sorrows and ac-
quainte d with grief. " He developed
thru ' His sufferin gs. Trouble often
brings out true manhood. Humanity
can not stand too much prosperit y;
it sometimes separates man from his
God. Adversit y drives one to his
knees and to God. . A man has not
reached his truest and noblest man-
hood until he prays and gives himself
to God. Sorrow often helps man
When Dante entered Purgatory no
was girded with a willow plucke d
from the waters of affliction to teach ,
as Ruskin says, "That glory begins
in suffering, and all power is humil-
ity. "
Death Is A Numerical Neccessity
yet it is sometimes spoken of as one
of life's willows. Were it not for
the transition we call deat h, in s
few generations the earth would
become over-po pulated; more people
would be alive than the product of the
soil could comfortabl y sustain. This
would lead to sufferin g, privation ,
hunge r and disease.
a Mer ciful Providence
has prevented much of this by tho
transition , Longfellow in his poem
"Resignation ," calls Death :
"Let us be patient! These severe nflllctlons
Not from the ground nrls o,
But oftentimes celestial benedictions
Assume tills dark disguise.
"We see but dimly through the mists and vapors ;
Amid these earthly damps ,
What seem to us but sad , funeral tapers
Mar be heaven's distant lamps.
'•There Is no Death! What seems so Is transition
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elyslan ,
Whose portal vte call Death. "
We are thankful for both the palm
and the willows of life. "Thou shalt
rejoice in the Lord" for every palm
which adds to the elevation of charac-
ter. "And again I say, Rejoice " for
the willows of life which develop man-
hood We thank God for the rosea
strewn in life's pathwa y and are also
thankful for the thorn We thank God
for both the cross and the crown.
There fore , "Take branches of palm
trees and Doughs of willowe and re-
joice before the Lord your God" and
you shal l learn that God leads His
\ children to Him by a pathway lined
with palms and willows, and your
very tears shall become your rainbow.
COTUIT.
Clark—Doolit tle
Eva Hooper Clark and Albert Whit-
ing Doolittle were married on Satur-
day sfternoon , at 2 o'clock, at the home
of the bride 's parents , Mr. and Mrs.
Fletche r Clar k, on Main street. The
ceremen t, which was a double ring
service , was performed by her pastor .
Rev. Wm. Robertson of the Congrega-
tional church , assisted by Rev. Mr.
Doolittle of Hackensack , N. J., father
of the groom. The bridal choru s from
Lohengri n was played by Miss Lora
Pratt -jf Brookline , and the bride en-
tere d on the arm of her father , pre-
ceded by the maid of honor , Miss Bar-
bara Dow of Cambrid ge. They were
met by the bridegroom and bis best
man , a brother , Mr. Charle s Doolitt le.
The bride was beautifull y gowned in
white satin messaline, trimm ed with
Point de Venise lace. She wore a
veil fastened with lilies of the valleT
and carried a bouquet of white roses
and lilies of the valley. The maid or
honor was gowned in pink messallne-
and carried pink roses. The bridal
pair stood beneath an arch of ever-
green and white pinks , backed by a
solid background of holly filled with
bri ght berries.
The entire house was decorated wltn
the holly and white pinks , which made
a most effective settin g for a winte r
weddin g.
After the ceremon y, a luncheo n was
served in the dining room by a
caterer , after which solos were rend-
ered by Miss Winifred Lewis of
Rocheste r, and Mrs. A. E. Boyden of
oauuvtiuu.
The bride 's cake which was cut and
served to her girl friends made the
usual fun. The ring came to MIsb
Josephine Thompson, the thimble to
Miss Annie Rogers and the coin to
Miss Elizabeth Boyle, others sharing
in the lesser honors.
The going away—that , In these days
is more important to the reader , than
what the gro'om was dresse d In, was a
•complete get away." The hack which
had been ordered with great secrecy,
from Sagamore , stood at the side en-
trance all decorat ed with white
streamer s, in the str eet near the house
stood two private aut omobiles and
across the street was anot her with the
engine running. The house is a dou-
ble one with no door leading throu gh,
but an entra nce had been planned and
at a given signal the couple emerged
from Miss Howard' s door and runnin g
across the street jumped Into the au-
to and were moving before it was
realize d by the waiting crowd.
The disappointed crowd of young
people procured an auto and took
chase to the fleeing pair , but Keith 's
is a fleet one, and had a good start.
Parties went to Sagamore and Buz-
zards Bay and others took the train
to Boston , hoping to overtake the
couple. Meanw hile after a pleasant
tourin g trip, the bridal part y returned
to Sandwich , after dusk , and spent
Sunda y quie tly in their new home.
Monda y at 10.45 they took a car-
riage for Sagamore and from there
started on their weddin g trip, with-
out any white ribbons or showers of
rice and confetti. Congratulations to
Fletcher Clark , Jr. , who planned the
whole affair.
Guests were present from Hacken-
sack , New Jerse y ; Lynn , Cambrid ge,
Brookline , Somerville , Sprin gfield, Wor
cester , Providence , Fairhaven , Roches-
ter , Wolla8ton , Brockton , Brldgewater ,
Provincetown.
The presents were most elaborate
and costly, and comprised all that can
be given to make a home beautiful.
They will reside in the Superintend-
ent' s house at the Faunce Far m, Mr.
Doolittle holdin g that position and will
be at home *b their friends on Tues-
days in March.

Vie . ' ¦7CTS for fossils. He was bare ly
thirty years old. small of stature , a
*r..la bald on the forehead and wore
glLz^ax. There was nothin g beautiful
-about the professor except bis smile,
and that was beautiful because it wa3
childlike. One seeing the Innocent
parting of his lips, accompanied by a
eoft look that appeared in bis eyes, felt
Immediately like takin g up the little
man and uugglng Him.
Now, it having been reported to the
directors of the museum ot which Pro-
cessor Tipton was curator that the tip
of the ta il of some enormous anima l
had been struck in digging a well In
a western territor y, the curator was
directed to repair to the spot, tak e a
look at the protrusion , determine to
what animal It belonged , whether it
was worth digging for nnd the cost of
exhumation.
in duo time the professor reached
a settlement some five or slz miles
from where the fossilized bones were
located and, learning tbat the only way
to reach them would be on horseback ,
called for a borse. mounted him and
proceeded on Uls way. He had pro-
ceeded about bull the distance when
he saw ahead of him what looked like
the dim outline of a cowboy, but as be
and the coming object drew nearer he
noticed that the rider wm feminine.
"How do?" she said as she reined In
her steed.
™TEe gf9fggsor- Dad never neara tma
form of greeting before and did not
understand it. However, be reined in
his horse and smiled.
The smile was somethin g very new
to the glrL The coarse guffaw of the
plainsman or the diabolical grin of the
Indian was the only expression of a
genial disposition she had ever seen.
"What y' doln' out nere, strauger?"
£he asked.
"Tm goin* to the fork of the river ,"
he replied.
"What y' goin1 there for?"
A reply to an uneducated person was
difficult , but the professor explained
his object as well as he could.
"T think it's some kind o" varmint?"
ahe asked
"I don't know what a varmint is,
but I suspect what I'm going to look
at will turn out to be either a masto-
don or a 'dinosaur."
"And I don't know what them are.
I don't see no shootin " iron about y".
Where do y' carry it?"
"1 didn't think to brin g a weapon.
Do I need one?"
"Well, now, y* are the most inno-
cent kid 1 ever seen. Need a gun?
I'll go with y'. It would be a pity to
leave a little feller like y1 to wander
about with not even a toy pistol."
Tut ing .her horse 'B head, she rode
back vith Professor Tipton. There
wes mething odd In the defenseless
man elng under the protection of this
arme c glrL He found her especially
usefi ' aa a guide, for she knew the re-
gies - erfectly and took him to the
point le wished to find. There was
co en
¦
<
, on the ground to locate the ex-
a.'t srot, but the girl told him she had
teen r, me men digging and landed him
v.-here ';hey bad begun to bore the well.
'.Vht nv.'.ment the professor caught sight
rt n :, x mammoth vertebrae that hod
i me xposed he clasped his hands,
; iispe his mild eyes to heaven, and
els lip* moved in thanks.
"If a a dinosaur ," said the professor
T don't mean itP*
"•Jn& sing from these few vertebrae ,
It taun t be sixty or seventy feet long."
••Go;.br
"A Ad, judging from the horizontal
pot . u...'i of what ls exposed, there will
fct< u¦ ¦

•*Xi<\ It pay? "
1iie professor did not hear thia ques-
tion. He bad picked up a stick lying
near and was scraping away the dirt
"How long has it been there V asked
the gir!
"Ngi 'ess than 10,000 years."
"Don't y' think its rather late in
the ciay to disturb it?"
""&.!.

th4t moment there was a clatter
of hoofs in the dlRtan ce, and a small
party of men were seen galloping to-
wtrd them,

Little Thins* That Expeaa th* Fraud
to Handwriting Experts.
Forgery haB a great attraction to a
certain element of the criminal world.
Some are so skillful In this line of
work as to get past the most eagl*
eyed bank teller , but always when the
microscop e is brought Into play it is
possible to detect the fraud , or. if not
the microscope , then more 'modern
testing appliances are used.
Her *la a secret divulged by a man
; who has made a study of handwriting :
No person ever yet wrote his name
' twice alike. In some small or big de-
; tail one signature always differs from
. another. Therefore when the same
man's name appears twice alike—as It
i does In the course of business events.
: when the forger gets after a little
easy coin—there must be a matter of
i tracing. It stands to reason that tbe
1 exact fac simile of the one has been
gained by the overlay or tra cing proc-
» ess-
When a man undertakes to write
l another man 's name In the free hand
i style of Jim the Penman there Is al-
t ways noticeab le to the practic ed eye a
. cramping movement or a radical de-
, par ture from the way In which the
[ name should be writ ten. Such a small
i thing as the particul ar position of the
t dot above the "i." for Instance, wi
l
l
reveal forgery or the crossing of the
> "t" or the shading of up or down
' strokes. A man will overlook the fact
that tbe name he ls writing wh«n
j written by itB owner always leaves
t the straigh t line at a certain letter
and return s on another certain letter.
, Some business men place after their
i signatures on checks a period , some a
: comma, some a rough star , others a
short or a long dash, making the genu-
ineness of the signature depend more
upon this slight characteri stic than the
name Itself.—New York Tribune .
