The LATE JOHN D. JONES.
He Was a Brockway Pioneer and
Had Passed His 6oth Year.

John ID. Jones was born in London,
Ont, January 18th, 1925. of English
parentage. His father had come to
America in the latter part of the last
century and settled at Savannah, Ga,
but later removed to Canada where his
son was born. In May, 1888, they went
to Dekalb county, ILL.,, and in lS43
John ID. moved to Port Huron, Michi-
gan, where he engaged in numbering
until about 1916 when he took up the
labor of farming in Brockway township
and it 1CdS labor of the hardest kind,
as all old settlers know, to bring the
wilderness into Il state Of civilization
and make home for himself and fam
lily. There were many hardships to
endure but his perseverance and zeal
were unIemitting and he was rewarded
with II fair share of this worlds goods.
lie Joined his life with that of Martha
Nandenvurgh, of Port Huron, in 1916,
and from this union there were seyen
children, only three surviving him;
Mary, wife of ID. II. Nicholson, of
Rollo, ILL.,, George H., of Shabbona,
Mich, and Matte, wife of j. L. Vim
cent, of Yale. The wife and mother
died IN October, 1875, and in December,
1876, he was married to Hannah Stone
house, who survives him. There were
no children from this union. The sub
iect of this sketch had received in his
younger days II good common school
education, and his shrewdness, honesty
and fair dealing with those he came in
contact brought him the honor of
several offices. For about twenty
years he held the Office of supervisor
and in 1889, the last term he held he
was elected without any opposition at
all. While residing on his place north
west of Yale, called Merrillsyille then,
he opened up mercantile store and
was also postmaster there great many
years, until III fact he was elected rep
resentative to the state legislature from
the third district of st. Clair county in
1876. lie held the Office of Justice of
the Peace for about 80 years and was
school director for over 20 years. His
life has been one of activity. In lum-
bering, rafting, farming, mercantile
business and the arduous labor of
holding numerous offices his days have
been passed. His was the credit of
building the old road from Brockway
To Merrillsville, and it was he who ran
the first raft of logs from Port Huron
to Toledo. Even after his retirement
from the active work of his farm and
his removal to the village of Brockway
Centre, now Yale, his life was a busy
and useful one, and after very
short illness he passes away at the age
of 80 years, pioneer of this section, a
man who has done great deal of pub
lie good and who will be missed and
regretted by all.

Madam, your attention, please.

Madam, your attention, please. Do
you expect to dye this seaeon? We
mean, will you dye any stockings,
carpet rags, cloaks, dresses, feathers,
or anything; for if you intend to, we
are anxious to have you dye with
Magic Dyes. They are easy to use and
we believe them superior to most other
brands. Carpet weavers who have
used them say they give more durable
eolors which don't crock or fade like
others. They color cotton, wool, etc.,
with same package, thus doing better
work on mixed goods. Although the
packages are larger and color about
double the goods, we sell them at 10
cents, same as other brands. Sold by

DIR. r. N. FOSTER, OF Chicago, Is
an educated physician, and no doubt
believes what he says when he unre-
servedly recommends whisky in the
treatment of grip. The idea, how
ever, will not be Endorsed by a good
many laymen, and it has singular
sound coming from homeopath. Re.
cent Investigations have demon
strated that alcoholic stimulants are
not absolutely necessary in any dis
ease. 1t is certain, at all events,
that other agents produce the same
therapeutic effect without the re.
sulting difficulties and dangers Al
cohol is negative drug at best. 1t
arrests the waste of the tissues, but
it does not build up. Its use, like
that of the opium preparations, is
fraught with danger to the patient.
1t may relieve and sOothe for time,
but it reacts with double force. 1t
is menace instead of a benefactor,
a false friend In time of need. The
day of whisky as panacea and cure
all has gone by. Modern science has
punctured its pretensions

of the nation increases, the owner

THERE is nothing parsimonious
about the British Government when
1t comes to dicker for spy service.
1t seems that the notorious LIE Caron
had an agreement whereby his serv-
Ices were to yield him an annuity
of five thousand dollars while he
lived, with o life insurance OF one
hundred thousand dollars. The bar
gain is said to have been made BY
the London Tunes and accredited to
English enterprise 10 journalism. 1t
Is more probable, however, as alleged
by other newspapers, that the
British Government footed the bill,
and that the Times merely secured
early information Of the spy's dis
closures.

The danger to public health caused
by the use of milk from cows affiicted
with tuberculosis Is no longer dis

pulmonary consumption not only ex.

cases half a herd OF milch cows have
responded to the new test for the dis.

have attested the accuracy Of the

FARM NEWS: An old but discour.
aged farmer writes to ask The exact
meaning Of business methods which
you newspaper writers are continual
ly talking about" Perhaps getting
out of the old rut Is the nearest ap-
proach to developing business meth
DDS that farmer can make. This is
no easy task. The chains of habit
are often stronger than mans will,
frequently mightier than principle,
because so deceptive. One OF the
greatest aids will be to take several
good agricultural papers A stimu-
lus to prompt action, the kindling of
ambition for better work and the
abandonment Of cherished but mis-
taken ideas, will all follow as a re-
suit. Keeping watch OF the markets
in different parts of the country is
essential, but not more so than to
labor for your home market by rails
ing something your neighbors neg.
lect. Perhaps 1t is clear that your
favorite crops and stock are not pay
ing well, reduced cost of raising 10
then the only safe remedy since much
enhanced values are not likely to be
reached In the near future. II you
cannot figure cost and lower, it be-
hooves you to figure on other kinds
of farming, especially II it be a diff
ferent line than pursued by other
farmers near you who are likely to
remain welded to the good old ways
of their fathers.

Professional Jealousy,

Malibran and Sontag, the two f.
nous singers, were rivals, and once
cast to sing In @kOmeo and Juliet.
Sontag was a German, very sweet and
gentle, but not so quick as Malibran,
who was Spaniard. The latter,
who played Romeo, did her best to
puzzle and torment poor Juliet at re-
hearsals, and when begged by her to
say on what part of the stage she
was going to fall in the last scene,
always replied she really did not
know, really could not tell; some
times she died in one place, some
times in another, just as 1t happen
ed. On the night Of the performance,
Sontag meekly prepared to follow
Romeo. who maliciously insisted on
dying close down to the footlighs in
front OF the curtain. Juliet fell dead
by his side, and the fair corpses had
to be removed by two, red-plush liver

The great gun 10 mounted on :
forged steel carriage, on the top OF
which there are slides which receive
the. saddle to which the gun IL
strapped with big steel hoops, the
Washington Post explains. At the
side OF the carriage there Is q cylinder
that connects with the gun saddle,
and when the little lever connecting
with the steam pump Is thrown over
the water is forced into this and the
piston runs out, carrying the gun for
ward on the slides. When the shock
OF the recoil comes the gun Is thrown
back to the rear of the slides, In po-
sition- for loading. To cheek the re-
coil and keep the piece from jumping
overheard there is another cylinder
closed at both ends and filed with .
mixture OF glycerine and water.
There is a piston fitting tightly In
this, but allowed to move backward
and forward by rifling on the inside
Of the cylinder through which narrow
channels the water and giycerine
have to run az the piston moves.
This riding is like the sticks of a
fan. wider at the front than at the
back, so that when the first shock OF
the recoil comes and the gun starts to
force the piston back. the water has
tolerably free passage, but as 1t re-
cedes the piston Is gradually checked
by the cushion of glycerine which it
has TO force through the narrow part
6f the riding, and the great shock OF
the recoil Is taken up as gently %
though 1t ran against serty cartl0ada
OF feather pillows. ~-
Under the gun there is another
piston that raises and lowers the
muzzle OF the piece. But the most
interesting thing about the gun Is
the ammunition elevator and the
telescope rammer that charges the
piece. The immense steel pr0jectiles
are 2 load for four or five men, and
there Is $50 pounds of powder to q
charge, 30 that passing It up from
the hold by hands, out Of the Ques-
tion. At the breech Oft the gun,
there is a regular small freight ele-
vator, with three cars of three hori-
zental tubes laid one above the other.
In the first tube Is the steel projec-
tile, and in the second and third the
powder charges. AS this elevator
comes up past the breech, the tele-
scopic rammer, which Is a series OF
hydraulic cylinders fitting into each
other, slides gently out and pokes the
shell and the powder cartridges one
after the other into the gun.
The horizontal movement of the
gun Is given by the rotating turret in
which 1t is placed, and all the sight
ing Is done over slender steel rod In
the coming tower, on the top Of the
turret, the rods position always cor
responding to that of the gun.

Gloves.

Gloves were not known in England
until near the close of the tenth cent
ury, and were then worn with a
thumb and no fingers, like mittena
They were larger in every way than
they needed TO be, and wondrously
embroidered and starred with jewels
No gloves were finer than those OF
the clergy. They were mostly Of
white silk or linen, cunningly broid-
cred and sometimes fringed with
pearls One ecclesiastic had a red
silk pair, with the sacred monogram
worked on the back, surrounded with
a golden glory; and later on they had
gloves to match their different vest
ments- In fact, gloves had departed
from the primary idea of utility and
become decoration. They were too
magnificent for common wear, and
were frequently carried In the hand
or, worn on The girdle. 1t was by
the fine gloves his page had In his
girdle that C9ur de Lion was be-
trayed on his way home from the
crusade and 80 fell into captivity.
But already the glove was more than
a mere bit of foppery. The knights
mailed glove sheltered his hand; it
became sign Of power; and when q
gracious lord meant - signify his in
tention to protect town he sent his
glove as sure sign Of his willingness
The glove, too, was the token of de-
fiance when one knight declared war
against another; and to show his
fealty to his mistress, he bound her
broidered glove TO HE helmet. Long
gloves came S9in 1t the cad o; the
seventeenth century. Nell 0vynnufs
gloves we're a proverb for their beau
ty. All through this time gloves
were prettily set on with lace, rib
bons and fringe, although tho fashion
of the finer artistic embroidery OF
the middle ages was falling into dis
use. The bare handAwas deemed an
offense, and the costliness of gloves
defined their wearers' social position.
