The pall-bearers were four little boys who had associated with him in life; they were Roy Shannon, Ralph Keep, Royal Rosier and Elmer Keep. Af- ter services the remains were in- tered in the West Point cemetery, followed by a large concourse of sor- rowing relatives and friends. Thus another home is left with a vacant chair; the family circle on earth is broken, but it was decreed that the flowers must droop and die, the wild bird fold its wing and hush forever its earthly song. He was a bright, winsome little child. What a brief record of humap life and what an aching void is left in the hearts of those who loved him. — Oh, Life, so prodigal of life! oh, Earth, so full of busy feet! oh, Woods and Hills and all things sweet, was there no room amidst you all, for two more feet so soft and sinall. No room-—or rather it may be, earth was too small to imprison thee, God only knows. We miss thy sweet caress, thy loving kiss; the patter of thy dear small feet, thy hand in ours, through lane and street, while all that now re- mains to us is just a precious memo- ry; two small feet ‘neath Earth’s brown sod, the white wings some- where safe with God.

What the cause of the ex plosion was no one see: of one of the Shrapnel shells slipped | ger in the cartridges exploded, and | and the powder slipping down from the shell was exploded by friction. The heuses on both sides of the street for two blocks were shaken on their foundations aud The street was lined with people watching the troops, and how any more were not killed is a miracle, as shells and pieces of the caisson were thrown iu all directions. There were | eight battery horses literally blown | to pieces by the explosion. The wounded are all doing well and are at Mercy hospital.

Four of the horses drawing the caisson fell in their tracks. shot through and horribly mangled, while four others were lown fifty feet ahead against the trees on the boulevard, dying in- thre stantly. The caisson was blown to pieces, not a piece larg than a} man’s bend being found.
