Little Baby's Gone to Sleep.

Alpha B. Paris, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Paris, was born September 26, 1900 and died March 3, 1902, aged one year, five months and seven days.

His short life had been filled with much suffering, but for several weeks had been having better health. Monday he was well as usual, but at 1 o'clock ran to his mother and in five minutes his little life had flown. The funeral will be this afternoon at 1 o'clock from the home. He leaves his parents and brothers and sisters to mourn their loss yet they may be comforted by the thought that

"Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pollution.
He lives whom we call dead."
