ed him on with his overcoat, and they
discussed various matters for perhaps
live minutes. No mention was made
by him of any physical ailment. He

"Joe"Brabant was one of tbe town's
best known snd most respected citi-
tens, and it is doubtful if the death of
another citizen would cause more universa
I and genuine regre*. He was a
friend to everybody, and everybody
was bis friend. He was generous to a
fault Tbe needy had only to make
their wants known to "Joe" Brabant
He had tbe faculty of overlooking the
shortcomings of his neighbors and
townspeople and his money and his
goods were as freely given as his sympathy.
If there was ever a case of
actual want in tbe town it was because
"Joe" Brabant did not know of it
Politically be was always a consistent
Democrat; religiously he was a devout
Catholic. While he had pronounced,
opinions regarding his religion and his
politics, be was conservative to tbe. ex-
tent that his views were expressed with
out offense to any one". He was tbe :
soul of honor; his word was as good as
his hood. "Joe"Brabant will be greatly
missed in the community where he had
spent his life and is best known.
The funeral, which will be held from
St Mary's church on Monday morning
at 9.80,will be in charge of the Knights
