briefly, and to euchre players who
make it next" were believed by the
ladies of the congregation to show a
masterly knowledge OF the intricacles
of those wicked games. He always
said that there were many innocent
and amusing games, such as checkers,
croquet, and ''Dr. Busby," which de-
vout people could play without i'm
morality, and that it was, therefore
an unnecessary piece of wlckedness
to play immoral games with the cor
rupt and debasing cards used by
professional gamblers. Mr.. Thomp-
son has a son about fourteen years OF
age who is not as good and innocent
as his father. In fact, he is regarded
by the public as the kind of boy in
whose neighborhood it would be un-
wise to attempt to cultivate an orch
ard or to raise watermelons. His
father, however, has the utmost con-
fidence in him, and never dreamed
that his sons views OF property In
fruit are in conflict with those OF his
neighbors.
One evening last winter, Master
Charles brought home with him a
pack of the so-called IN ational cards"
and exhibited them to his father.
"Thishyer," he remarked, lis first

Good Mr.. Thompson laid aside his
newspaper, and examining the cards
with much interest, asked how they
were used. The wicked son there
upon explained to him the principles
of a game which he called the "Na-
tional game,'' but which was simply
the notoriously wicked game of
euchre.
Mr.. Thompson was greatly pleased
with it, and in the course Of the even
ing more than once 'went it alone
and beat Master Charlie badly, Not
satisfied with this achievement, Mas
ter Charles.proceeded to teach his
trusting father the game OF whist, in
ducing both his mother aud sister to
innocently join in the carnival of
crime.
To whist he gave the fimsy name
of "tamily delight" and under this

Press the juice from sufficient
quantity of fruit to make two gallous,
wash the pomace in two gallons of
water; strain, dissolve ten pounds
of white sugar in this, and add the
strained, clear juice. Fill a clean
cask perfectly full, and cover the
bung-hole with piece of cloth; let
stand, filling up with some of the
mixture, reserved for the purpose,
until fermentation ceases; fill up
again, drive in the bung tightly, and
let stand in a cool place for six
months. Then draw off without
shaking the cask, put into bottles,

Prohibition.

Editor Register I'm your issue of
April 16, you announced that it is not
your intention to advocate the prOhi-
bition amendment through the COL
umns Of your paper, but that you are
willing to publish short communities
tons on the subject. I think the prop
osition is all that could reasonably be
asked from political paper, and sure
ly no temperance man is afraid to have
this proposed amendment thoroughly
discussed. ! desire at this time to say
few words in favor Of the amendment:
1t is detrimental to the business or
financial interest Of any town to license
saloons. The money spent at saloons
would, but for these institutions, be
nearly all spent among other business
houses. Saloons increases the number
of loafers cause men to neglect their
farms and workshops, and thus lessen
the amount of money they would
otherwise have to spend. 1t is true
our city receives four or five hundred
dollars year from the saloons; but
saloon keepers receive at least twenty
dollars for every dollar they pay to the
city, fifteen it is safe to say would be
spent among our merchants but forl
these dram shops. 1t is q poor financial !
policy for business men to advocate |
that diminishes their trade five or six |
thousand dollars q year, and only
brings to the city at large revenue Of
four or five Numbered dollars per an
mum. A careful investigation will
satisfy honest inquirers that the adopt
ton of the prohibition amendment
will add to our "boom of prosperity"

Obituary.

Mrs. Ada L. Funkhouser, formerly
Ada Bozorth, died at her home near
Carlyle, Allen county, Kansas, Apfil
Is, 1880. She was buried in thedOla
cemetery, where a large number of
friends followed her to her las< resting
place.
The subject of our sketch was born
in the year 1857 in McDphough county,
Illinois. She come to kansas on visit
to her sister, Mrs. Sylvester Hawkins,
in the year 1875 jby her ladylike be-
havior and modest demeanor she soon
gathered around her a circle of warm
friends and 9fnong them J. w. Funk
houser, WHOSE friendship ripened into
affection And he offered his hand in
marriage and was accepted. They
were gdarried on the 18th day of May,
1876, and began life with the fairest
prospects for long and uninterrupted
happiness. Little children came to
bless their lives and bind them in
closer union. A comfortable home
and hosts of friends made their lives
one of enjoyment and happiness.
But the joys of this world are but
feeting sunbeams. The dark shadow
of death now rests its pail over their
once happy home. The rider of the
Pale Horse halted at their dwelling,
and sobs and wailings for the dead rise
upon the air. She who was its greatest
blessing was stilled by the icy chill of
death. The hands that were tireless
in their work Of love for husband and
children were folded upon her patient
breast never, never more to unclasp
until the great trumpet shall sound
that wake the dead. Death came but
found her not unprepared. Hers had
been truly Christian wOmanh0Od. A
meek and faithful follower of Jesus,
she has entered into the joys of her
Lord. Though her earthly happiness
was brought to an abrupt close she
was prepared for the joys Of the Re-
deemed in Heaven.
The sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty is extended to the bereaved hus-
band, three little children and sOrrOw-
ing relatives. $50 live, that when thy
summons come, to join the innumera-
bic caravan that moves to the pale
realms of shade, that thou" like her,
art prepared for the great change. =
