by Miss Allie Van Hook on the piano.
After the performance there was q

Ellis Anson RummeI.

Ellis Arson Rummel, the 1O-year-
old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. u. Rummel,
died Friday morning after an illness of
nearly IA weeks. The funeral service
was held at the Christian church Sun
day at IL o'clock. Interrment was
made in the GoodIand cemetery.
A friend Of the family contributes
the following:
While the springtime is full Of labors
which are transplanting fora here on
earth, God is not neglecting His garden
above. On April 1, 1898, Ellis Arson,
eldest son OF Mr.. and Mrs. A D. Rum
mel, conquered the last enemy and
went to be with his Lord. On the 9th
Of December he was taken sick with
lung fever, with which he suffered for
nearly IA weeks. Through all his i'll
ness he bore his suffering as if miracu-
lOus, never complaining, refusing at all
time to take in any way as medicine
or otherwise, intoxicating stimulants.
On his tenth birthday, February 2, he
received as a present the new tesla
ment. This he loved to hear read, in
termingled with sacred song; we'll can
We say, BLESSED are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God" After doing all
possible for his recovery, and to no
effect, the bereaved family was com
forted with the thought that his grand
pa, who had but a few days preceded
him, could not do without him.
The entire family who have witnessed
50 much suffering and sorrow in the
last few weeks, have the deepest sym
patty Of the entire community.

in him as she was in the dearest man on
earth. She implored the latter to speak to
him; It's our duty to cheer him up,
darling. Think how happy we are. Don't
be selfish. He doesn't know. a soul here.
Go stand on his toe and beg his pardon, or
offer him cigar or ask him if he likes
Stephen Crane, or do something to wake
him up" But darling, was adamant. He
said he'd be electrocuted before he'd speak
to that cross-looking creature.
SO the little bride continued to sympath1ze
in silence. One morning the gloomy young
man received note, which he tore from the
hand OF the hotel clerk and rushed out of
doors to read. Later in the morning she
and her dearest went for walk. They
came upon the interesting one, but with
such happy face his eyes beamed and he
was actually smiling to himself. 'Ah,' she
observed, she has accepted him. l know
it. I'm so glad See how fast he walks!
He's too happy to stroll to-day. In another
moment the excited little wife was down on
her knees in the roadway. He dropped his
letter." she cried. I'm going to read it,
and in spite of her dearest's scruples she
did.

summer kitchen, even if it is only a
back shed, will help keep the house warm
in winter and cool in summer
A kitchen storeroom where the supplies
can be kept will save the women time and
trouble of going down cellar or up attic,
and will be daily blessing in most fam
lilies.
The bathroom should be accessible with
out having to pass through any other room.
If the floors are not of hard wood it will
be handy if at least one dimension of each
room is an even number of carpet widths.
Carpet comes either ga (twenty-seven
inches) or yard (thirty-six inches) wide.
and rooms can generally be multiples of at
least one of these dimensions. A room
that is just four inches over an even num-
Der of carpet widths is an expensive
nuisance. 1s
A square kitchen seems the handiest to
the housewife.
The dining room should be considerably
longer than it is wide. IN other words, if
you have to skimp on the size of your dim
ing room it is better to shave off the width
of it and arrange for room lengthwiSe. The
loom must be wide enough for a four-foot
table and guests on each side and passage
way behind the guests; that is, a fixed
width no matter how many are sitting
down to the table; but the table has to be
heightened to accommodate more guests
and there should be lengthMiSe room.
The parlor may be more nearly square
than the dining room. 1t should if possible,
be so planned as to leave room for piano
against an inside WALL piano placed
against an outside wall gets out of tune
and changes with the outside temperature.
Set it down that winding stairs are an eX-
pensive inconvenient, dangerous and in
artistic arrangement. Straight fights are
equally dangerous and more inartiStic.
Flights with right-angled turns at landing
ways give fine effect and do not trip one
up, and children cannot fall far when they
start from the top.

titles before each of their visits, but it
made no difference; before she left the re-
suit was always the same.
One of the most amusing incidents hap.
pened while they were in Rome. One of the
princeSses of the royal family to whom they
had presented letters called one day to take
them for drive. She had with her a pet
dog, and as Miss Foster was passionately
fond OF any canine specimen and Miss An
thony equally detested them, Miss Foster
and the dog sat vis-a-vis to Miss Anthony
and the princess. Doglike the little animal,
from the safe shelter of the carriage,
chased across the seat from one side to the
other and over Miss Foster, to bark at
every dog that it saw on the street. In the
meantime Miss Foster was thus occupied
with the dog.
Miss Anthony was entertaining the prin-
cess and vice-versa. The latter could speak
English. and so they got along very nicely,
but for Miss Anthony's misconception of the
title. She addressed the princess as "coun-
TESS" lady" duchess" and even Mrs. :"
but in spit of Miss Fosters gentle tread
got it princess" Then the princess in the
sweetest manner possible said to Miss An
thony:
when I. was born my family were reign
ing princes" But it was all lost on Aunt
Susan" She didn't take the hint.
caDt III .ne ar bnS uisy pdss9u Inasl,l-
man families, and the princess explained to
Miss Anthony that it was only one of five
which the family owned, all equally grand.
Miss Anthony was silent for some moments,
and when the princess asked her what she
thought of it, this redoubtable American
replied
What magnificent orphan asylum that
would make"
OF course. the princess was Mortified at
the suggestion of such a sacrilege, and so
expressed herself But Miss Anthony point
ed to the swarms of little Romans playing
In the streets ragged and unkempt. and re-
Piled:
"1 don't see a better use that this old
palace could be put to-"
When they returned to the hotel the first
remark which Miss Anthony made was:
We'll, I hope you got enough dog this
time" Then. what made you step on my
toes? Didn't do all right this timer"
WELL replied Miss Foster, you only
called princess of the royal blood count
ess ard Mrs and everything but the right
thing" Then Miss Anthony Disguised,
and declared that she would not try again,
but she would simply call all of them
Mrs" and let 1t go at that, to which de-
termination she strictly adhered.
But. by this time the logs had burned
to ashes on the hearth. the room was in
darkness. and it was unanimously decided
that 1t was time to separate for the night
