The deceased was born in Rain

this county in '73 she united with the
Baptist church at Red Cloud. She
was a consistent member and christian
to the time Of her death, a great lover
of the house of God and when possible
was always found there.
During her last sickness she mani.
tested great patience. She said she
was willing, ready and sometimes
almost anxious To be- mt rest and
told weeping friends not to weep and
mourn for her for she was ready TO
live il it was Gods will and just as
ready to go whenever He called for
her, and to her friends who came In
she said: "Our meeting and parting is
almost over, hut ] am ready to 60 and
1 want to meet You all In heaven"
A great many times during her last

Have l None" two or three times.
Her pastor being absent her funeral

An abrupt and impptuous hired man closed
and locked the door and went away The next
day was Sunday. and the hired man did not
come back
While the man who yearned to cool off waited
for the return of the hired man his object was
accomplished in very thorough manner. He
cooled off
The muiHcd door gave back but echoes to his
blows. and his voice could find no place to
escape and sound the alarm.
When he grew tired of walking and swinging
his arms to keep warm. the chunks OF ice
that piled around him did not offer
tempting bed Hunger gnawed at his vitals
and refused to be satisfied with the diet OF raw
air. Darkness settled down like a six months
arctic night. and the only sound which broke
the profound stiffness the man who wanted
to cool off trying to swear.
The hired man opened the door on Monday
morning, and the man who wanted to cool or
era wled out more dead than alive
When his tongue haC thawed out ne began

"Foolw retorted the hired man. Fool. you

Then the man who wanted to cool of saw
that his fortune was made.

Tricks in All Trades.

Eds. "Record-Union" In your Voice
of the Press" appears the following
paragraph from the Los Angeles
Times:
Now Mr. Corbett says he is not al
ter Mitchell, but wants Lanky Bob S
meat or nobody's. If he will only get
right at it and thrash somebody good,
and keep out Of the newspapers. we VIII
all be much obliged to him. Mr.. Cor
bett is too prone to use his parts of
speech to the point where ne makes
his fellow-man ache to the bottom OF
his immortal soul"
The subject itself does not amount
to much, but the paragraph quoted
serves to illustrate the fake methods
of some newspapers. The Los Angeles
paper roasts Corbett because he doesn't
keep out of the newspapers. l was
not aware that Corbett is publishing
any newspapers. Surely it was not
Corbett who wrote the Times para
graph.
Why do a certain class of new spaper-
men insist on accusing men of doing
things they do not do? The papers
send their reporters after men like
Corbett, FitZsimmons and Sullivan
who pump them for every word they
can draw from their lips, ard then
by adding many things the men do not
say, they manage to get up long state
ments and print them, no doubt often
against the wishes of the parties In
terviewed.
Then the editor goes for the pugilfsts
and roasts them for getting into the
newspapers and all that sort of stuff
My opinion is that if the newspapers
would let the pugs alone the latter
