Mrs, Frank Shoup,

mTS. Tram 0uUuHs
Myrtle Norris, daughter of MI. and
Mrs. Henry Norris, was born in Sus-
quehanna county, Pa, July 4, 1868,
came to Missouri with her father in
1879, was married to Frank Shoup
Jan. IL, 1888, and died April Z, 1897.
The deceased was known well in
this community. During the IA years
of their married life brother and sister
Shoup lived near Rush Hill. 1t was in
this community that sister Shoup
spent the most active years of her life.
Religious from her twelfth year, she
developed a character that was loved
and helpful to others. For ~ years
she was a consistent member of the
Littleby Methodist Church. Every
interest of the church received tokens
of her sympathy and love. Perhaps
none rejoiced more than did she in
the excellent meeting in her church
last July. Though not strong, she was
willing to come six miles day and
night to the meeting. Death came to
this good woman very unexpectedly.
She sat up some time the day before
she died, and when the physician
came a few hours before death she
read perplexity in his face. When
told that death would probably come
soon she expressed her desires in a
calm way and was content to remain
or depart. The we'll worn and care
fully marked Bible, the treasured con-
versations that almost invariably
turned to religion, strongly impressed
her pastor that she was a Christian.
May her life, her words and her peace
tut death be to her father, sister, her
husband and little son a heritage more
precious than gold. A FRIEND.
Here is a diamond, mere a piece OF

The Unga1lant Irish.
A Dublin dispatch says:

A Dublin dispatch says:
Sat a meeting held near College
Green in connection with the jubilee a
black banner was displayed bearing
the statement:
"'During Victoria's reign 100000
people have starved in this island,
100000 have been evicted, and 1000,
900 have been compelled to emigrate. "
The above headline, over the Dublin
dispatch quoted, appears in the edito-
rial page of the Chicago Tribune OF
June % last, on which that paper com.
ments as follows:
'"There have been deaths in Ireland
from famine. So have there been in
India. But Queen Victoria was not re-
sponsible in either case. The great
Irish famine was due to the fact that
the inhabitants of an overpopulated
island, whose sole industry was agri-
culture, depended for food almost ex-
clusively on the potato. When that
failed for two years frig htful suffering
ensued. Why the Queen should be at
tackled on her jubilee day for something
she had nothing to do with is snot ap-
parent. 1t does not smack of the usual
chivalry of Irishmen."
The inscription on the black banner
is not an "attack" on the Queens per-
sonality, but statement Of certain
facts in her reign. 1t states that dur
ing Victoria's reign 1,500, 900 people
have starved in this island, 5000, 900
have been evicted, and 1000, 900 have
been compelled to emigrate." No man
will deny the truth of these state
ments; and if Queen Victoria is not per-
sonally the cause of the terrible crimes
involved in the CHASTITY statistics cited,
she at least stands for the government
which is responsible therefor; and for
this reason Irishmen would have been
wanting in selfrespect, and they would
have deserved the contempt of the
world, had they in the recent jubilee
failed to express the sentiment they
feel for the alien power that has i'm
poverished and assassinated so many
millions of their race, and that holds
