He was talking with his wife, SEEM
inglv as well as usual, when he suddenly
said to her: Il have a strange pain in
my head"
Immediately afterward Mr.. Stevenson
fell back lnsensible Everything posi-
bic was done to restore him to con
seriousness, but without success. and
within two hours of the seizure he died
The cause of death was sudden paralysis
of the brain, accompanied by collapse Of
the lungs
Mrs Stevenson and all the relatives of
the novelist. were present at the closing
scene Of his life. The funeral took place
on he 4th instant The grave was dug
on the summit of Pala Hill, which stands
on Dir. StevensOn's estate. The coffin
was carried up the mountain with great
difficulty by the faithful Samoan ser
wants, who dearly loved their white
employer. To allow of the passage of
the coffin and its bearers it was necessa-
~ to cut a track through the dense for

wife of a son of Congressman Baker
of Rochester; Miss Grace Morrill,, a
young lady Of % summers, and Frank
Morrill,, aged 10, a sophomore at Har-
ward college.
Mrs Morrill, is a typical Boston
woman, cultured, refined and of a quiet,
retiring disposition. She is an ardent
church worker in Hiawatha, and her
whole soul is devoted to her home, her
family and her church work. She has
little love for politics, and it IL said re-
gretted her husbands acceptance Of the
gubernatorial nomination. She is elated
at his success principally because it
pleases him and not at all because she
will be called upon to take the position
socially that properly belongs to the
family of the highest stare officer. Her
husband says she shall follow her own
bent in the matter Of entertaining and
she will probably limit her efforts to the
necessary social duties Of her position.
Mrs. Morrill, is not an ardent woman
suffragist She is on the fence. She has
no yearning to redeem Kansas and be-
lieves that she can worry along with
the rights she now exercises. When
suffrage comes. she will exercise her
right to vote. and meantime she con-
tents herself with paying her dues ia
the suffrage club Of Hiawatha. When
her husband was in congress, Mrs. Ba-
ker spent eight years in Washington, but
was not charmed with the prevailing
social routine. II cannot bear the Gus
tom Of making calls and leaving cards. y
she says, ''and there seems to be so lit

no taste for it, =
Miss Grace Morrill,, however. is fond
Of society and will doubtless relieve her
mother IN attending to the duties de-
volving upon the first lady Of Kansas
She is tall and fair and has travelled
great deal She is a brilliant conversa-
ZIONIST and has a trunkful Of clever sto-
ries that she has written, but is too
modest to have printed.

B. Coleman, land this fact gave me a
great deal of trouble at one time. l Dor
rowed a valuable dog from friend and
went hunting. The animal became rat
tied when he found that l knew moth
ing about hunting. Rabbit after rabbit
was started up, and / missed them as
fast as they CAME Finally the dog grew
tired and concluded to catch them on
his own hook He soon started another,
and as it jumped the dog jumped after
it just as fired. The shot went into the
head Of the dog, and he died without a
groan. The rabbit ran a short distance
and then stopped and looked back, as if
to mock me. Of course paid for the
dog, but my friend has never forgiven
me, and have not gone hunting since. -
