Death of F. M. HendrixSon.


 ED. DEMOCRAT; It is with sadness that we are at this time called upon to chronicle the death of our friend, Bro. F. M. Heudrixson, who died at his home near Shiloh at l o'clock on the morning of the second day of Sept, 1889.
 The deceased was born in Ohio Sept. IS, l840, was married August. P, 1868. He emigrated to Arkansas, from the State of Nebraska about months ago, and, although he had been In our midst but short time, he had, by his upright ness, won the esteem and confidence Of all who knew him. Being deeply in- terested in Sabbath schools and the sal- vation of sinners, his greatest pleasure seemed to be in trying to advance and uphold his Masters Kingdom, and had he continued with us. would doubtless have done much good in the same, but God, in his wisdom has seen fit to call him hence, and it is our duty to bow in submission to Him "who doeth all things we'll"
 His funeral was preached at Shiloh the evening of his death by the Rev. Mir. Nobles, from Job xix, 26-27 verses, after which he was buried in the Shiloh cemetery by friends who had learned to love and admire him.
 The life of Bro. Hendrixson was ex- emplary in all respects and challenges the admiration and imitation of those acquainted with him. Our heart sym pathizes deeply with the bereaved wife and children, but as human sympathy fails to console, we commend them to Him who is able to comfort in all of our troubles and disappointments.
 A FRIEND.

FOR THE LADIES.

The death of Mrs. Rachel Snyder, of Pittsburg,
from the results of cancer, supposed to have been
caused by the carrying of poeke book in the
bosom of her dress, should be warning to a good
many women who are in the habit of placing valu-
abes in the folds of their corsets.
A mlGdle-aged woman went to a prominent
physician of San Diego not long ago, and asked
him to amputate her two great toes. He examined
them, assured her that there was nothing wrong
with them. and said that he wouldn't cut them off,
She begged him to, saying that If they were off she
could wear No shoes instead of As, as then. Her
toes were her own she said to do what she pleased
with, and she would give $500 to have them Off
The doctor refused, and the woman went in quest
of someone with less conscience. A San Diego
newspaper says that she found someone to do the
job successfully, for two weeks later she went to
San Francisco wearing the best pair of No Is that
could be bought in San Diego.
Alexander James and Edith Smyth, of Alpha

As he was leaving the room he whispered to the
groomsman that he ashamed TO get married
before so many persons. The groomsmau told the
bride, who promptly said: -" You helped to bring
me here, and now you must take his place" The
young man said he was willing, and the ceremony
was performed. At the conclusion the bride said :

jane Gregory In December ITide AlgakeI
Shakspere makes Hamlet say:
Thrift thrift Horatio! The funeral baked meats
Did cody furnish forth the marriage table,
But good New England woman did
thriftier" thing than that. Her mother had
a long sickness and finally died of inf1amma-
tory rheumatism, leaving several halEused
bottles of medicine, which became source of
great concern to the daughter, for :" it ought
not to be wasted" she said. She offered to sell
it at discount to a neighbor, but finding it
left on her hands, she took it all herself for
sore throat, colds gastric trouble, and whatever
ailment she happened to have.
The same woman once told two visitors whom
she had invited to tea that she had been in
good deal of trouble that day to calculate upon
just how many biscuits TO make for the meal.
She always knew about her own family she
allowed one apiece, and an extra one in case
OF being extra hungry; but where two new
persons were concerned, whose appetites and
habits were an unknown quantity, she was in
such a state of mind that she was fairly up
sot"; and at the table she watched with keen
eyes to see what was to be the fate of the one
" extra biscuit which was all she could bring
herself to provide beyond the regular extra"
of the family.
A certain New England family will never
forget their inward amusement at the remark
of a near" woman las penuriousness and close
calculation are phrased), who had come to see
them in the beginning of her annual round of
visiting to "save her board y; she remarked at
the dinner table that the food tasted good"
for she had been keeping herself short" in
expectation of shutting up her housel
She had been brought up in such a small,
narrow way that she "eould tell to a pin"
every article she had with her. When little
girl she had been sent from home to school,
and boarded with her aunt Esther, having for
roommate girl named Hannah. At the close
OF the ten weeks term, when getting her things
together, she went to her relative, with these
words:
"Aunt Esther, wouldn't do such thing as
to say that Hannah would steal, but when
came here had seven needles and four rows of
pins. Now. Aunt Esther, five pins are gone
and there is one of the needles which 1 can't
find. Hannah must have taken them!"
Once, when she was going away for two or
three days, she offered neighbor the mornings
fairgrounds to steep over, and, to save it, a
pumpkin pie which she was afraid wouldn't
keep till she got home. But she returned
sooner than she expected, and went over and
said if the pie had not been eaten she would
take it back
