The day has long since gone by whom
a man, to have his shoes made thing
OF refulgent beauty, was forced to lean
against fence or balance himself on
one foot and have youth OF tender
years prod his bunions with q we'll
worn brush. OF late the shinee reposes
in q luxurious armchair in room
cooled by revolving fans in summer and
heated by round whitewashed stove
in winter, and has man OF matured
years and good Judgment coax his boots
into ebony logeliness with an oiled
cloth and woll-kept, long-haired
brush.
The quality OF the shine itself has
wonderfully improved also, The unaf-
fected and funeroal black polish that
faded generally to pale and mottled.

BELIEF IN DEMONOLoGY.

1t Was Universally Entertained as Late as
the Seventeenth Century.
A writer in late medical Journal
takes for his subject the interesting
theme Of "Demonology and Witchcraft," ="
showing how some OF the learned Chris
tian writer's OF only two centuries ago
accepted such uncanny doctrine as be-
yond dispute. Sir Thomas Browne, one
OF the master minds of the seventeenth
century, declared that those who denied
the existence of witches were not only
inlidels, but also, by implication at
least, atheists. Il have ever believed, :"
he says in his "Religio Medici," page
"a, edition of 1912, ''and do now know,
that there are witches; they that doubt
them do not only deny them but spirits,
and are obliquely and upon consequence
a sort not of infdels, but of athe-
lists" Shakespeare again and again
refers to belief in demonology. Bacon,
in one OF his most important works, his
Advancement of Learning" pro-
nounced the three declinations from re-
ligion to DO "heresics, idolatry and
witchcraft"
In l7GS, only 1a2 years ago, John Wes-
ley wrote as follows: at is true, like
wise, that the English in general and,
indeed, most of tho men of learning in
Europe, have given up all accounts OF
witches and apparitions as mere old
wives fables. am sorry for it, and /

the Middle Ages, the devil was beloved

OBITUARY.

SIFoRD.-Our mother, around whose remains we
have gathered to-day to pay the last tribute Of re-
spect. Hannah Siford was born In Stark County,
Ohio, January 3rd, 1888, and died at Florida. Ohio
March 1st, 1880, aged u years, onth and % days
She was urited In marriage to Joseph Sitord, De-
cember Sth, 1870; together they lived In the bonds
OF matrimony about 20 years. She was the mother
of nine chiidren-two had already preceded her
over the River, while the husband, four boys and
three girls, with many loving friends are left to
mourn the loss Of 9 kind mother. She was mem
Der Of the United Brethren Church at Florida, D.,
for number Of years; she lived and died In the
faith. This loving wife, the gentle mother. the
constant friend, is gone. How sweetly she sleeps
the last sleep; she has closed the eyes that have
shed their last tears, laid the hand on the bosom
that has heaved the last sigh. As . mother, how
gentle, tender and patient; how snxions she was
for her childrens' welfare-ss she asked her hus-
band few days before she died what he would do
with the children IL she called away, and said,
try and keep them together. Calmly and quietly
the sun Of her life went down and with her the bat
tie Of life was over. May they all remember the
Scripture text that was used this occasion found
In PHILIPPIANS, 1st chspter, and part Of the 2ist
verse: ITO die is gain" and the hymn that was
sung at the funeral: Shall we meet Beyond the Riv-
er. The funeral took plsce at the United Brethren
Church. at Florida, Rev. @. e. Norman officiating,
after which her body was conveyed to the cemetery
two miles north east of Florida and the many tears
that were shed attested the strong hold she hNd up
on the affections OF all who knew her May the
Great Comforter sustain the sorrowing mes aHd ul-
timatelY bring them all to meet in the sweet bye
and bye.
The day we laid her In the tomb,
The natural sun was shining bright,
But oh, our hearts was filled with gloom
To think that she was out of sight.
Alas, how sad to say farewell,
It's hard to part with mother dear,
Though she is gone with Christ to dwell
30 happy there without tear, Nv.
We hereby tender our heartfelt sincere thanks to
the good kind friends who so kindly assisted us
during the illness Of beloved mother for their
aid and sympathy in the hour Of great afiction
and in the burial of our mother. We can only
wish for them that when the hand Of God is laid
neavy In affection, then they may find friends o.
kind and willing to aid. J. SHoRD AND FAMILY.
