Cavaness and son Wilfrid, publishers of one of Kansas's best and brightest country newspapers, the Advance, Chetopa, sent out a handsome little souvenir with the beginning of the new year, which, as a product of their job department, was a chaste and beautiful specimen of artistic printing. It was in the form of a booklet, containing a brief history of the paper up to the close of its thirtieth volume, at the beginning of the present year. An interesting feature was a photographic reproduction of the first page of the W. G. HOOVER, President.

During this tide of prosperity he purchased an 38000 farm, and for some reason failed to meet the payments, and the scoundrel took advantage of his temporary embarrassment and closed in on him, and he in the end lost all his property. His friends urged him to take advantage of the bankrupt law, but he utterly refused, and paid his debts altho it took almost his last dollar. He then started a drug store on a small scale, and his friends who admired his honesty rallied around him, and he soon built up a splendid business, and regained much that he had lost. Some oue has said, "An honest man is the noblest work of God," and he did not very far, if in any degree, miss the truth. We have always considered Father Closser a thoroughly honest man, and this chapter in his life only confirms us in that belief.

Many men are considered honest, and are not known to be otherwise until the testing time comes. When this time came in the life of Father Closser he stood the test, and came out pure gold, tried as by fire. We all the more honor his memory.
