setting on foot the Howell school
building. This and many other
such things go TO his credit.
Mr.. Wilson was also connected
with several benevolent orders and
always found time to attend the
meetings and was prompt in the dis
charge of every duty. He was a
very bright Mason and climbed to
the top of the ladder. In 1888 he
was elected Deputy Grand Comman-
der of knights Templar of Tennes-
see, and the year following was made
Grand Commander. He occupied
the highest position and rank in the
order of Knights of Pythias, and
was also a member of the knights OF
Honor. Surely but few men lived
such busy life, or lived to accom-
plish so much good in so short a life,
for he had scarcely passed the prime
of manhood.
Truly the public has cause to
mourn his loss, for his place is hard to
fill.
The funeral arrangements can not
be made until il is known when the
remains will arrive here. The party
is expected to leave San Diego
Thursday and will probably get here
Tuesday. The Knights of Pythias
held meeting last night and APP

FAR FROM HOME.
G.. B. Wilson Breathes His Last
in San Diego, Cal.
The News Great Shock to the Commu-
nifty, for He Was Appreciated

vile. The melancholy intelligence
Was passed from one to another in a
tone of surprised sorrow and soon it
was known all over the city.
Scarcely one in all the city and sur
rounding country that does not share
in the sorrow, for no man was better
known or more universally esteemed
for his extraordinary worth. 1t was
generally known that he had been in
a bad state of health for the past
year, and yet he had borne up under
his Affections 50 courageOu and
was always SO cheerful and spirited
that none but his family and imme-
date friends knew that his condition
was serious. The fact is, however,
that he was suffering from Brights
disease and quietly sought relief in
every direction, not really knowing
himself until very recently, the
cause of his suffering. Some six
weeks ago he left home, accompan
led by his wife, to visit relatives in
San Diego, hoping that the fine eli
mate of that section would afford
some relief But it seems that in
stead he must have declined rapidly,
and died suddenly.

G. b. Wilson was born in Warren
county, Ohio, May rs, 1888, and
lacked some six weeks of being fif-
ty-three years old. He was II son Of
Enoch Wilson and a descendent of a
noble family of people. His father
died, leaving a dependant family,
and he became the main support OF
his mother when quite a youth. His
young life was full of hardships, his
way obstructed by many difficulties,
interpreted with interesting TO-
nance, but his struggle was
increased and he surmounted
every obstacle and obtained an edu-
cation and trade, which, backed by
his natural talent and indomitable
courage, made him one of the most

A Glove to Fit.

It is Just piece of good luck now when
you get glove to fit you by relying upon
the number which you have worn for
years The size-which to you has seemed
rather diminutive from the fact that it
took a great deal of patience, time and
muscle 70 decide you could wear it at all
really makes you blush now.
1t makes you blush to think you have
betrayed the fact TO the attendant that
you ever wore a glove of that number
your hand is so much smaller now. You
can never tell how it has come about. You
know that those scales insist upon adding
five or six pounds TO your weight, and yet
here is this glove two sizes too large at
least
She seems to know how TO ignore your
embarrassment. She says sweetly: Really,
you are mistaken; you never wore glove
rs large as that. 1t must be five and a half
you want. Let me measure your hand.
Yes, it is five and half 1t is not often
ladies ask for size too large"
"Do they buy them too smallY"
''No, they don't buy them too small ex-
actly, because we fit them, but it is many a
glove that goes TO the repairing room from
the first attempt" food of light crosses
your embarrassed brain.
The managers of glove stores are balanc-
ing up the profit side of their ledgers by
changing the numbers on gloves, and YOU
can tell your friends now that you wear
five and half, where before you were
obliged to acknowledge to five and three
quarters and six. There is something so
Rristocratic about a small hand.-Chicago

HOW TO MAKE slLHoUETTEs.

An Enjoyable Method of Passing Pleas
ant Evening at Home.
The candle or lamp may be placed Oh
the table at the distance that is found on
trial to make the painest shadow. The
light should be on a level with the head of
the subject so that there will be no distor-
ton of the features by the rays casting the
shadow in a diagonal direction. By turn
ing the head slightly and slowly few
times from side to side, the profile can be
cast perfectly in shadow, as it is easy to see
when the head is turned either too much
to one side or the other. Have the "modep
sit up erect, that the chin may not be sunk
in frills or high collar. Throw the head
we'll back, to give an independent, strik-
ipg, lively attitude, yet not so far back
that it looks strained.
If the head stoops, the silhouette will
probably look dOwncast or hump shout
dered. Don't let the model assume" an
expression for preservation. Let him talk
a moment or so while you watch the shad.
ow in profile on the paper before you.
Catch the most natural set Of the lips or
toss of the chin, and then let the subject
maintain that position and expression, cas-
lily and naturally, with no pursuing up of
the mouth or nervous gripping of the jaws.
While he sits steadily for a moment,
quickly and firmly trace the outlines of the
shadow upon the paper with your pencil or
crayon. Watch the sweep of the hair and
indicate it easily in its waves, though that
is matter of secondary Importance. See
that you preserve the angles of the face,
the bend of the brow to the bridge of the
nose, and the squared, pendulOus, round
ing snubbed, pointed, or Roman turn of
the nose itself. Catch the sharp angle or
curve where the nose turns into the upper
lip as exactly as possible, and the exact
turn of the lips, thin and firm or tenderly
pouting, closely set or softly dropped apart.
See that you have the turn of the chin and
the lower lip above it. Indicate the neck,
shoulders and coat by strong, expressive
outlines that will preserve the character
istics. And there you are!
This is the simple silhouette, and for it
but few moments are required. A round
dozen can be drawn in a very short time
in the evening when the lamps are lit
They may be filled in on holiday, a spare
evening or rainy Saturday. For hasty
work, liquid backing or dark ink will do
to fill in the outlines, using either the
sponge in the backing bottle or a mark
ing brush. The penciled outlines must of
course be carefully followed
Do not finish the silhouette out to the
edges of the paper. Les the lower part of

Draw a curve downward from back to

Usefulness of Cotton Bags.

'T wish | knew some way TO avoid this

but [ haven't place in my cupboard or

pillow cases, put your sugar in them and
hang them up in any available place in the

bags and send them TO my grocer. He puts
twenty-five pounds of sugar in each bag,

Girls Friendship.

There is a great difference between
friends in the matter of compromising.
Friendships that should have been help

are often seriously interrupted or hnally

of two friends one will perhaps be talk
stive and the other silent. Usually one
talks while the other listens, putting IN an
occasional question, comment or sugges-
ton. and both are satisfied.
But sometimes the Quieter one does not
want to listen, while the talker still would
like to talk. Then comes the need OF tact
and consideration. Let the talker mod
crate her pace, speak quietly and occasion
ally. not chatter steady stream; and let
the taciturp friend take the trouble to
answer maternity and Understandings
though as briefly as she chooses, and there
Is small danger of either feeling annoyed
or sighted.
Friends do not need speech in the sense
that mere acquaintance do. True friends
never need to make talk for the sake of
conventional politeness, and that in itself
is great thing.
They are not rude if they are silent. They
NAV work or read in each others presence,
taking pleasure in affection which there Is
no need to express. They may ride or row
or walk, each enjoying everything through
her friends eyes as well as her own, and
Speaking or not as the scene and her feel
ing suggests.

they had walked two or three miles to-
