Obituary..

Mrs. Letitia Hanna died at her home
in Brockway, Michigan, July both.
The deceased was born in County
Mayo, Ireland, April 18th, 1916: She
came to this county with her husband
and two children in 1910. She was
the youngest and last of family of
eight and was herself the mother of
eleven children, six of whom SURVIVE
her, viz: Mrs. VIM. Shannon of Brock
way, George ID. Hanna, of Mayville,
Mrs. VIM. Harris, of Brockway, Mrs.
Henry Ballentine, of Richmond, Miss
l.. G.. Hanna and Christopher Hanna,
of Port Huron. Mrs. Hanna was in
her usual health, fully able to attend
to her household duties until within
an hour of her death. She was a
worthy member of the NJ. +. church.
Called away suddenly, death found
her not unprepared. Her last audible
tones were those of prayer. The fu-
neral was held in Brockway at 1890
Saturday last. The two elder sons of
the deceased served in the late civil
war, the eldest dying in Anderson
vile Prison Hospital in June 1864.
Among the papers left by the deceased
was found letter dated February 9th,
1864 from herself to her soldier son,
purposely written on one page of q
sheet of foolscap paper that the re-
naming blank pages might be used
by the soldier in writing to his mother
at home. Its unsoiled pages sent him,
record the last will and testament
of John j. Hanna, Co. G.. 22nd Mich
igan V. |. and was witnessed by Lieu
tenant James j. Potter who wrote the
will, Sergeant G. Miller and Patrick
Atkinson. The will appointed TIM
othy A. Smith of the firm of Smith d
Newberry, of Romeo, executor. In a
letter written to Mr.. Smith by Lieut..
Potter, enclosing the will he states that
John j. Hanna and Patrick Atkinson
died victims of rebel barbarism in
Andersonville. At the advanced age
of II the mother has been called home.
She will be missed by large circle of
friends. The afflicted family have their
sympathy in this recent bereavement.

If You are a Wife.

Always remember that you are mar
ried to "A man and not god; be prepar-
ed for imperfections.
BE companion to your husband if
he is II wise man. and if he is not, try
and make him become your compan-
ion. Raise his standard; do not let
him lower yours.
Once in while let your husband
have the last word; it will CRAFTY him,
and be no particular loss to you.
Anticipate the discovery by your
husband that you are "only woman"
if you were not he would not care
about you.
Let your husband know more than
you do once in while; it keeps up
his self-respect, and you will be none
the worse for admitting that you are
not actually infallible.

leaning back among the moth-eaten
cushions of the old family coach, with a
groan of helpless Indebtedness.
''I have it!' said Moore, briskly. SCI

drives away with me. He can hide me

''Thank you"
They were at the front door. Cato
drew up with a jerk. Sibley let him
self out, and, giving Cato an order in a
low tone, turned slowly and hesitating-
~ towards the little group in the door
way.
Moore's device had given him respite
| only-a very short one at that. Ida's
| arms were about him. Her wet cheek
| lay against his. Dido's sobs were ring
ing in his ears. Ninette was standing
shyly aloof, looking on with grave won
der at this dismal scene of welcome.
''Auntie!' she spoke presently, sharp,
rebuking words, you said my papa was
coming to make us all glad and happy.
He has come, and you and nanny Dido
do nothing but cry and wipe your eyes
| on your handkerchiefs. Is that my
papa?''
Sibley put Ida away from him and
turned towards the small fau1tfnder.
| He held out his hands.
SIS that my Ninette? Do you not re-
member me, child? Have you not the
faintest recollection of me? No love at
all to give me?"
| At each yearning question Ninette
| shook her small golden head in grave
/ eyed negation. Then, in rapid cres-
cendo:-
81 remember my Norrie! remember
Uncle John, and Dick, and RATE, and
and Celeste But you-neveri Au1tie
Ida said my papa was the most beauti-
full man in the world. She showed me
his picture, and made me kiss it every
day, and taught me to pray God bless
my papa every night But you don't
look one bit like my papa's picture; not
one tiny little speck-"
| He drew back his suppliant hands.
| "Let her be-" he said, as Dido whis-
pered reproach in her pink ear. Let
| her continue to worship the unreal
father you have all made her acquainted
with. Where does our father lie, Ida?''
Ida turned. and. with her hand rest
ing upon his arm, led the way towards
