She was the estimable and devoted wife of
John w. Parker, editor and proprietor of the

The cause of her death is attributed to
congestion Of the liver, from which she bad
been a sufferer but a short while. Mrs.
Parker took i'll last Sunday, but her condi-
ton was not considered Of a serious nature
until Wednesday evening, when it changed
for the worse. She gradually grew weaker
and lowered between life and death until re-
lieYed Of her sufIerings this morning. Her
death is mourned by her husband and two
children. The latter are James, aged II years,
a student at Bucknell University, Lewisburg,
and a daughter, Miriam, aged Ia years.
The deceased was an active and life long
member of the English Baptist church, and
figured very prominently in religious circles.
Her death is a severe blow to its congrega-
ton. Her friends we're numerous and she
was loved by all who knew her. The funeral
will take place on Tuesday, the Both inst.
Services will be conducted at the house at II
o'clock. The remains will be taken to Potts
vile on the LIZ p. III. Lehigh Valley train,

among the most gifted men the state has
ever produced. Unfortunately. he pc
came involved in quarrel during ms
early manhood and took the life OF a Eel
low man. Although exonerated by the
Jury, the intimate friends of the judge
are inclined to the belief that his future
life was in a measure, controlled by MS
early misfortune. However, if man
ever lived who enjoyed fight, that man man
was Judge Hammock. He bore no nance
and no marks when an affray was ended,
but a fellow in search of trouble never
went begging when the judge was in the
community. and the same man never
went in search tn second time. curing
his term as circuit judge of the Harts-

NOT HIS DAY FOR BEING WHIPPED.
One Twenty -four Hours When johnnyFeIt Safe

Little Johnny was years old. therefore
he could look back to several Christmas
holidays with lively remembrance OF
what they We're like. and what had taken
place on those festal occasions.
One of Johnny's ideas mot original with
Johnny by any means. as many parent
can testify was that it was boys mis-
sion to make as much noise as possible
in the world, and, in spite of frequent
admonishing and more or less frequent
whippings. he preseveringly carried out
the idea on all occasions. except when he
was asleep.
johnny was fulfilling his mission with
more vigor and enthusiasm than usual on
Christmas morning, but nobody paid any
attention to him except his Aunt Jane,
who was visiting Johnny's parents during
the holidays. and she finally grew tired oil
the noise. and said:
Johnny, it is very naughty to keep up
such a din and racket all the time. and II
you don't stop it / shall have to speak to
your mother about it
Huh. What goodll that do?' scorn-
fully demanded Johnny.
"Why she will whip you If you don't
STOP" threatened the young mans aunt.
Guess not' retorted Johnny. with an
air of triumph. Chris mas amt my day
fer gittin whipped. l alters git whipped
the day before Chris mas and the day
after but / never do on Chris mas. -
