I am certain that Window has i'm
proved and prospered and grown
strong and rich since the saloons
were kicked out. l know that most
every man in the city has improved
his condition since then. Scarcely a
man-in fact [ can't name one-has
grown poorer because the saloon
went. Window has banking capi-
tai of $13O,OOO now where she had
but $4,000 when we had saloons, and
our assessed valuation has almost if
not quite doubled. We have the tel
ephone, the electric light and city
water. We have three more churhes
than we had then; we have nearly
twice as many people. We have
more christians, more patriots and
more republicans; more banks and
more homes; more business men, doc
tors, merchants, lawyers, real estate
men and spectators. It is Won
derful record. It beats any town in
the southwest for development where
the saloons have contributed to their
prosperity. Shall we give all this

we will prosper more with saloons
than without them? l think we
won't. Even men who occasionlly

D1ED-In Worthington, on the -.ven-
ing of March 5, 1897, Mrs. Arethu-
sa Hail, aged 78 years and days.
Mrs. Hall came to Worthington Id
October, 1895, from Dundee, Michi-
gan, which had been her home for %
years previous. She came here to re-.
side near her only surviving daugh-
ter, Mrs. Rev. Robt. McCune. For
most of this time her health has been
precarious, so that she has been liv-
ing quite retired life in this place.
Mrs. Arethusa Hall was born in
Riga, N. Y, March 2, 1919. Her
father was Rev. Alanson Darwin, a
Preshy terian minister, who came to
Tecumseh, Michigan, in the service
of the American Home Missionary
Society, and died in the pastorate Of
the Presbyterian church of that place.
In the cemetery of this village bis re-
mains are buried, in which place his
daughters remains are likwise laid to
rest. Mrs. Halls father died at the
age of 48, after being the founder of
several churches in the states Of. New
York and Michigan.
In 1888 the subject of this memoir
was married to Mr.. Hudson B. Hall
of Tecumseh. Their married life was
spent in Tecumsuh, Mich, Toledo,
Ohio, and Dundee, Mich. In the
summer of 1884 Mr.. Hall departed
this life. Five children were born to
them. of whom Mrs. Julia H. Nc
Cune was the oldest. Three died in
infancy, one daughter surviving until
NAV; .; 1sgg:. Since ven wen! Mrs.: Hall
has iivgd III this place!
Mrs. Hail during her married life
vas member of Presbyterian and
Congregational churches, as her lot
was providentually cast. Her home
was always open to entertain the Cos
pei missionary, and her life was spent
in active service in the Divine Mas
ter's cause. ="
Comparatively humble and une->
ventful as her life was, it was replete
with earnest, faithful christian living.
The end of such life was peace.
The remains were taken to Tecum-
sch, Mich, leaving here Sunday
night, accompanied by Rev. Robt.
McCune and wife. While away Mr..
and Mrs. McCune will visit their old
home at Toledo, Ohio, and will prob
ably be gone about two weeks. :

It is but natural for people to asso-

that we have right here at home an
institution every citizen should take
pride in. The proprietor, Mr.. H.
Klauser, thoroughly understands his
business and fears no competition in
his line. He began several years ago
in small way down at Litchield and
has each year increased his plant so
that now he employs small army of
hands in the manufacture of woolen
goods Of every description. The peo-
pie of this part of the state should
take great pride in encouraging home
industries as every dollar is kept at

demand that we can supply by ship

turer. and receive in return such

THE LITTLE ARM CHAIR.

Nobody sits in the little arm chair:
1t stands in a corner dim:
But a white-haired mother gazing there.
And yearningly thinking of him,
Sees through the dust of long ago
The bloom of the boys sweet face
AS he rocks merrily to and fro
With a laugh that cheers the place
Sometimes he holds a book in his hand
Sometimes a pencil and slate:
And the lesson is hard to understand
The figures to calculate;
But she sees the nod Of the fathers head
So proud of his little son,
And she hears the words so often said:
mo fear for our little one"
They were wonderful days, the dear, sweet
days
When a child with sunny hair
Was here to scold, TO kiss and TO praise,
At her knee in the little chair.
She lost him back in her busy years.
When the great world caught the man,
And he strobe away past hopes and fears
To his place in the battles van.
But now and then in a wistful dream
Like a picture out of date
She sees a head with a golden CLEAN
Bent over a pencil and slate;
And she lives again the happy day.
The day OF her young life's spring
When the small arm chair just stood in the
way,
The center OF everything.

THE WoMANs RIGHTS MOVEMENT.
Colonel HigginsOn Has Never Wav-
cred in It's Advocacy.

OF all the movements in which I ever
took part, except the anti-savery agita-
ton, the woman's rights movement seems
to me the most important; nor have L
ever wavered in the opinion announced by
Wendell Phillips, that it is 1.-The grandest
reform yet launched upon the century. as
involving the freedom of one-half the hu-
man race" All the ordinary objections to
wsman suffrage, as that women have not.
in the phrase of old Theophilus Parsons
"a sufficient acquired discretion" or that
they are too impulsive, or that they can
not fight-all these seem most trivial: but
it is necessary always to face the fact that
1t is the only great reform in which a mi
nority, at least, of the very persons to be
benefited are working actively on the 9TH
er side, says Colonel Thomas Wentworth
Higginson in the February Atlantic This,
to my mind, only confirms it's necessity,
as showing that, as Mill points out, the
very nature of woman has been to some
extent warped and enfeebled by prolonged
subjugation.

Shortage Figures Are Growing.

Lindley was an active member of the
Baptist church, and it is through his
church relationship that he secured bail.
His defalcation will be a death blow to

nothing else to do but travel over the
county and gather votes pledged to him

business, but was nominated and elected

FORTUNE FRoWNs ON MARK TWAIN.
He IL Now I'm London and Is Said to
BE PennfIess.

Few of the many friends of Mark
Twain" Samuel L. Clemens) know of
the plucky fight he is making with adver-
sity, or how badly he has been used by
fortune, says a London cable.
In a word. Mark Twain, who few
years ago thought himself a rich man, is
today worse than penniless.
Since his return from Africa a few
months ago, he has been living in very
modest lodgings in London, going no.
where and seeing but one or two friends
working all day and every day at a his
tory of his trip around the world
With the proceeds Of this book he hopes
to be able to pay off his creditors and
leave something for his family.
Mark Twain lost practically everything
when Webster & Co. failed, and the lee
ture trip around the world, which he un-
dertook with the hope Of retrieving his
fortune. did not turn out a financial sue
cess for him.
So, over GO years OF age, in poor health
and In strange country, Americas
greatest humorist is perhaps working
harder than ever before.

WHAT PUSSY CATS THINK OF MEN,.
Believe Human beings Were Created
to Minister to Their wants.

The cat was a solitary roamer. whose
companions were the trees of its native
forests. 1t found a home in the hollow
trunks and safety among the branches,
says a writer in the North American Re-
view How do we know that the cats
ancestors were jewellers in the forests?
Because every kitten takes to a tree as
readily as a duck to water. Also, be-
cause nearly all forest jewellers are mot
tied in color, so that they may not be
conspicuous among the light and shadows
beneath the trees. While 1 was consider
ing what was the probable view held by
cats about human beings, it was suggest
ed by one ingenious friend that probably
they regard man as kind of locomotive
tree, pleasant to rub against, the lower
limbs of which afford a comfortable seat,
and from whose upper branches occasion
ally drop tid-bits of mutton and other
luscious fruits. We may laugh at the
theory, but it has quite a respectable
string of facts behind it to back it up. If
the Kanakas argued from the pig to the
horse, why should not the cat pass from
the familiar tree to the unfamiliar or
ganization called man?
The cat, in spite of the domestic char
acter it has acquired, is, in reality the
least tame of our animal servants. AS
far as its duties are concerned, man has
taught it practically nothing.
