A BOULEVARD TO OLATHE. Mrs. C. E. Wood spent Friday In Kansas City.

Who said we would not have enow this winter? DEATH OF MRS. FRANK PUNDT. A sad bereavement has come to one of Lenexa'8 families in the sudden death of Mrs. Frank Pundt. The little hoii born to Mr.

and Mrs. Pundt on Christmas day. Is doing nicely and the mother had anticipated the happiness Wednesday morning of her first day to rejoin the family circle and be up and about her former duties when she was suddenly stricken with heart disease and had expired within a few minutes. The attack and its sad consequences were bo unlooked for and came without the slightest warning, leaving the little family stunned from the sudden shock of their bereavement. A better wife, mother and neighbor could not bo found than Mrs.

Pundt and the entire community will sincerely grieve her untimely loss. W. G. Cross, father of Mrs. Pundt, came from his home in Ohio and is grief stricken at the loss of the only member of his family.

Mr. Pundt will maintain his home as it Is, his sister, Miss Imoe, taking charge, for the present, of the little family of three. Funeral services were held at the Lutheran church Friday afternoon. A large procession of sympathizing friends accompanied the body to the cemetery north of town. Franklin Pundt.

Three children were born to this union, of whom one pro-coded the mother In death. In May, 1900, Mrs. Pundt, with her husband and little daughter, moved west and established their new home in Lenexa. Here, by her kindness and gentle conduct she soon gained a hOHt of friends. On Christmas day the happy family was blessed with a baby boy.

Mrs, Pundt was recovering fast, and bright the sunny future lay before them that was so suddenly to be eclipsed. On Wednesday morning Mrs. Pundt was stricken with heart-failure. Death was almost instantaneous. Mrs.

Pundt leaves to bemourn her death an aged father, a sorrowing husband and two children, to whom we extend cut heartfelt sympathy. That the beloved sister is sharing the lot of the blessed we have every reason to hope. Her Sunday school essays, written for her class, called "The King's Daughters," breathe a truly Christian spirit. Not having her church home here she some time ago expressed the desire to become a member of the Lutheran church, but God had it decreed to take her out of the church militant into the church triumphant. May her sudden departure teach us to number our lays that we may be found ready.

W. F. H. KERL, Evangelical Lutheran Pastor. Necrolog.

So fades the lovely, blooming flow'r; Frail, smiling, solace of an hour; So soon our transient comforts fly, And pleasure only blooms to die. Is there no kind, no healing art, To soothe the anguish of the heart? Spirit of grace, be ever nigh, Thy comforts are not made to die. Let gentle patience smile on pain, Till dying hope survives again; Hope wipes the tear from sorrow's eye, And faith points upward toward the sky. Anna Steele, 17C0. Edith Alma Cross Pundt was born February 11, 1877, at Oxford, Butler county, Ohio.

In early childhood she was baptized and became a member of the Presbyterian church. In this church she received her religious training and remained a faithful member thereof unto her end.

There is a time to come when governments will spring from the hearts of the people, and will be governments for the people. In that day all laws, all civil usages, all customs, will respect the Interests of the community, and will not obstruct them.
