OBITUARY.
SAMUEL HALL NrouoL.

The community was inexpressibly
moved with sorrow at the announce
ment of the death of this noble
Young man when the news came
flashing over the wires last Friday
Not at the mere fact of death be-
cause he comes to all ages and con-
ditions. alike unbidden and unwel-
come, but because of the sudden and
wholly unexpected intelligence of
the fact The first telegram to his
family announcing the sickness of
the young man came Thursday and
then they followed in quick success
sion until Friday at o'clock p IN.
when one came stating that all was
over His father left on the even
ing train Thursday but not in time
to reach the bedside of his beloved
son, his Benjamin, until too late to
clasp the living form in his parental
arms. Mr.. Nichol was seized with
appendicitis which apparently devel-
oped in a rapid manner, and an OPP
GRAFTON was performed Thursday
evening from which he did not rally
ana passed away ON Friday noon
He was born about twenty five
years ago at Queens, Long Island,
and when his father, Rev. Thomas
Nichol, was called to the pastorate of
the Presbyterian church here in 1890,
came with the family and resided
here about two years and after
year in the business college at
Poughkeepsie, went to Grand Rap
ids, Mich, to accept a business situa-
ton. While here his pleasant man
ners, bright intelligent face and gem
tlemaAly, upright department, made
warm friends of all with whom he
come in contact.
He was in all senses of the words
noble young man and one on
whom any father would dote and to
whom a mothers love would go out
in all its boundless width and un-
fathomable depths. In this hour of
their bereavement the family do not
mourn alone, the community shares
their grief and would offer such poor
consolation as softeDed hearts and
sincerest words of Christian COM
fort may afford.
The family chain is broken the
first immediate link has parted but
a tie binds the survivors now more
closely to that heavenly land where
parting shall be no more, where
earth's SORROWS shall fade away be
fore the light of an endless and
happy reunion
Surviving are the grief-stricken
parents, and brothers and sisters as

Samuel Hall Nichols, book keeper
for Stickney Bros. Company, died
yesterday at the U. r. A. hospital
after an operation for appendicitis.
Mr.. Nichols had been feeling a little
indisposed for several days, but at
tributed it to some temporary de-
rangement He was in the office as
usual Wednesday, but that night
was taken suddenly ill. DR.. J. b.
Griswold, the family physician, was
called in at once and he diagnosed
the case as appendicitis. DIR. Graves
was called in consultation and ii
was decided that the only hope of
life was an operation. He was i'm
mediately removed to the hospital
ane every effort known to science
made to thwart the disease, but the
operation disclosed the fact that the
disease was in too far an advanced
stage. Theirs was no hope of saving
his life.
Mr.. Nichols was born in Queens,
Long Island, August 10, 1872. He
had a large acquaintance among the
young people of the city, to whom
his death comes as a personal be
.reavement. He had lived with hi.

say how for that " is the wall of the
sensitive reader of today. If an Ameri-
can, he is likely to ascribe the reigning
fancy for the sin to Mr.. Howells, who
has taken to it with his usual ferocity,
possibly because long practice ON his
own signature makes tho adverb easier
for him to write than the conjunction.
Lately the word has begun to infest
the writings of English politicians, pos
sibly rs result of association with the
Irish members of parliament, for "he
said how no was going" is literal
translation of tho Gaelic equivalent of
Tho said that no was going. But the
worst instance of its use appears in n

There is an official nominated for the

his confidential servant dose of certain
herbs, afterward pipe of tobacco.
The man drinks and then smokes. In
due course he begins to rave and to
crawl about on hands and knees Then
the thief catcher puts q rope about his
loins, and ON all tours he perambulates
the neighborhood, shifting like hound,
enters house at last and goes to sleep

He has to pay the value of the stolen
goods or to "square" the thief catcher,

PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY.


Few of Them Seem to Have Learned
Anything Noble From Nature.
For the stability and righteousness
Of our government we are accustomed
to think we must pin our faith on the
country people who live near to ma
lures heart, " writes Mrs. Lyman Alb
bolt in The Ladies' Home Journal, the
first of a series of Peaceful Valley"
papers, which picture life in an ideal
rural community. but how many of
them, " she says, "seem to have learned
anything noble from her? Her beauty
does not refine them, her honesty does
not incite them to thoroughness, her
free handedness does not inspire them to
generosity-they become narrow and
sordid i'll the midst Of grandeur and lib
crafty. They imagine there can be
nothing in life but work or play, toll
or rest, and they feel a contempt for
those who play and rest. They have
never learned to mingle work and play,
toll and rest in due proportion, and they
cease to find any pleasure in life unless
they abandon work altogether. Like the
tired woman who wrote her own cpl
taph, they fancy heaven place where
they can do nothing forever and ever.
This view of life makes loafers i'll
the village as it makes them In tho
cities. When different spirit has found
room to grow, new order of living
prevails, Life becomes something more
than slow grinding of the mill, more
than burden, to be endured only be-
cause it cannot be at will laid down. 1t
becomes a luxury as well as a necessi-
ty. individuals combine, not for their
own advantage, but to multiply bene-
factions, and as strength increases by
its right use, tho attainment of one
worthy and ambitious advantage is only
the suggestion and achievement of an
other.
