at Philadelphia. To read and converse
on the Bible was his greatest delight.
Who, that has ever been at Philadelphia
church before he became so feeble, does
not remember him seated near the
pulpit, trying to catch every word
uttered. Even when deafness made
him almost insensible to speech, his
place was filled at the house of God
when it was at all possible for him to
be there. May Gods blessings rest
upon the sOrrowing children and
friends. His remains were laid to rest
in the Haynes graveyard to await the
morning of the resurrection.
The health of this neighborhood is
not very good now; almost everybody
has the grip, and all who haven't the
grip have the measles.
That wedding of which we spoke in
our last letter, took place about
o'clock. Mr.. viii Pinkston and Miss
Sallie Freeland, both OF this vicinity,
accompanied by few of their friends,
rode down the big road little distance
from their homes, where they were met
I by ESQ. James White, who united them

repaired to the home of Mr.. Polk
Parrish. May peace, prosperity and
happiness attend their married life.

morning, at the residence of his son,
Mr.. George Andrews, just as the king
of day was climbing over the Eastern

the ninety-tirst mile-pOst on the road OF

ago. His death was due to ailments
caused by old age. He had been 4

passed over Deaths River and sped
1oyfully on its way to the city of God,
leaving behind grief striker husband,
mother, father, sisters and brothers and
one little orphan boy. To them we ex-
tend the deepest sympathy, and bid
them look to Jesus to lift this dark
cloud of sorrow which overhangs their
once bright sky. While it was hard, no
doubt, for her to give up life so sweet,
yet God so willed it, and she has passed
into the portals of the Heaven Of Rest.
How sorry we are for the dear little
boy, who is left in the world with no
good mother to love him and to guide
his little infant feet in the paths of
right. Oh, how sad to be left with no
mother. God pity the dear child and
lead him gently and safely through
this world of temptations and sorrows.
The remains will be buried tomorrow
at II o'clock at Roberts Chapel, beside
her little babe. CHLOE.

To rest the stomach you must do its
work outside of the body. This is the

and its success is best attested by the
fact that these people are practically

CHARACTERLSrIC or

Many an act of kindness has been
left undone because it carried with it
a seeming loss of dignity. The follow
ing letter of a lady of Springfield, III,
published in McClure's Magazine,
shows the self forgetfulness and kind
ness Of the great man We all delight
to honor. The incident took place
sitter Mr.. lincoln had been to Con-
gress. We might query how many
representatives of 100000 men would
forget themselves enough to do the
same thing.
"The very children, 'the lady writes
"knew him, for there was not one OF
them for whom he had not done some
kind deed. My first impression OF Mr..
Lincoln was made by one Of his kind
deeds. l was going with little
friend for my first trip alone on the
railroad cars. 1t was an epoch Of my
life. l had planned for it and dream
ed of it for weeks.
"The day came, but as the hour OF
the train approached the hackman,
through some neglect, failed to call
for my trunk. As the minutes went
on realized, in panic of grief, that
| should miss the train. | Was stand
ing by the gate, my hat and gloves on
sobbing as if my heart would break,
when Mr.. Lincoln came by.

pushed through thu gate and mp to
the door.
"My mother and | toon him up to
my room, where my little old fashion
ed trunk stood, locked and tied. ooh
no. he cried. wipe your eyes and
come on quick
"And before | knew What he was
going to do he had shouldered the
trunk, was down stairs and striding
out of the yard. Down the street he
went as as fast as his long legs could
carry him, l trotting behind, drying
my tears as went. Mr.. lincoln
put me on the train, kissed me good
by and told me to have good time.
1t was just like him."
SIZE JUDGED ALL BY HER
HUSBAND.
He was smoking and musing over
the ways of the world.
"Odd, isn't it," he said at last,
"How few people attain their ideals
in the world?'
''In what way:' inquired his wife
suspiciously, for she was not wo-
man to be caught of her guard.
"WelI," he replied slowly, was
thinking of Jones when l spoke. He
had an ideal woman that he was always
talking about when he was in college.
She was tall and stately in dreams,
and he seemed to have no place in his
heart fer a small woman. And
yet
"Well:"

thing who hardly comes TO his shout

"Perhaps, john" she said slowly
and distinctly, che is like the majority
OF other men, and was afraid to take
one of his size!!'
When he spoke again he changed
the subject.

Autopsy Reveals Cause of Judge
Rudd's Strange Death.

autopsy Reveals Cause of Judge
Rudd's Strange Death.
The physicians of Iowa and Nebraska
have a most extraordinary surgical case
to recount. 1t developed out of a post
mortem examination made at Council
Bluffs, Ia, on the body of the late Judge
John Rudd, who died after an illness
that completely baffled the physicians
of the two states. Rudd until last win
ter was an exceptionally strong and
hearty man, weighing nearly 200
pounds He ate a hearty dinner on
Thanksgiving day, and that was the
last meal he was ever able to enjoy.
He was seized with violent pain in the
throat, and became unable to swallow
except at rare intervals, and then only
small quantities of liquid. He wasted
away until he was little more than q
skeleton at the time of his death. Diff
ferent physicians made different di-
agnoses of his complaint until the gen.
,eral conviction was established that 1t
was paralysis of the throat. Life was
sustained by injecting food into his
stomach, but during the last eight days
his throat became so greatly swollen
that even this method failed.
The examination made at the post
mortem by so physicians revealed the
fact that the man had choked to death.
4 pine splinter over an inch in length
was found imbedded in the throat. 1t
was evidently a silver from a board, as
one side of it was painted red, and was
apparently cut from a plank in fence
or barn and used as a toothpicl.
Neither Mr.. Rudd nor his friends or
physicians suspected the presence of
the foreign body. 1t had become deeply
imbedded in the side of the throat. The
stick was photographed.

a German professor, Karl Groos, has
written a book on the plays of ami
mails, in which he undertakes to show
that the desire to indulge in play is a
true instinct among the lower crea-
lures. AS in man, the tendency to play
is stronger in young animals. Prof.
Groos divides animal sports into num-
Der of classes. Among them are: play
hunting" in which the prey is some
times such as the animal naturally
chases- and sometimes a "maBe-be-
lieve; " "play-fghting, building-play,"

MAY GRACE THE MUSEUM.
To Preserve the Remains of the FR-
nous Dog Traveller.

10 Preserve the Hemhlhb Oh the II "a
nous Dog Traveller.
Capt. James White, superintendent
of the railway mail service, has written
to Cleveland, O., to learn if it will be
possible to preserve the body of
'Owney," the famous dog killed in that
city. If it is not too late the dogs skin
will be stuffed and exhibited in the
postal museum in Washington.
"Owney" was the most extensively
travelled dog in the world. Originally
he belonged to a railway postal clerk
IN the far west, who one day took him
aboard of a mail car for a several hun
dred miles run. "Owney" conceived
a passionate fondness for travel, and
never again could be induced to remain
at home.
During the past ten years he has trav-
eled over almost every railroad route
in the country. One clerk would pass
him along to another for safe keeping,
and at the end of each run he would be
passed along again. On an average he
would make the rounds of the whole
mail system about once year.
Of recent years, owing to his old age,
"Owney" had grown cross and grabbed.
He met an ignominous death. Having
tried to bite a postal clerk in Cleveland
he was shot by a policeman.

FEMALE MILITIA FOR COLORADO.
Mrs. Birdie Morgan, of Denver, Wants
to Organize a Company.


Mrs. Birdie Morgan is determined,
in spite of the opposition of the mascu-
line portion of the state of Colorado. to
Join the militia of Colorado. She has
appeared at the mayors office in Denver
and stated that she did not wish to join
a company of men-by no means. 1t
is her intention to organize a female
brigade and she says that they can
fight equally as we'll as the men, and re-
treat just as rapidly and with as much
haste, if the occasion arises. Red Cross
societies will not satisfy her.
The Encouragement has been impor-
tuned to render an opinion on the law,
but has not done so thus far. She be-
lieves that a company of amazons may
be placed in the field. The old cam
paigner facetiously remarks that they
would never become proficient in seal
ing walls. and in the event such duty
devolved upon them the distractions
would have to be removed with artillery.
At any rate Mrs. Morgan is in earnest
and will proceed to organize an up-to-
date bifurcated skirt brigade.
In view of the false rumors regard
ing Colorado's new militia law, Gov.
Adams has asked the Associated Press
to give publicity to the following signed
statement:
1T may be unkind to destroy so good
a text for newspaper cartoons and nom
sense, but the witticisms concerning the
military service of women in Colorado
grew out of the printing of the bill, in
which the printer inadvertently omitted
the word male" This word was in
serted before the bill came up for final
passage, and section one of the new mill
tia law as it passed both houses of the
legislature and was signed by the gov
ernor reads as follows:
Section /. Every able-bodied male
citizen of Colorado and those who have
declared their intention to become citi'
zens of the United States, residing there
in, between the ages of IS and As years
except persons exempted by law, shall
be subject to military duty, excepting
etc.
