the LAST three sad days OF Holy
Week in which the hopebf all man-

rounded by lands fully equal of

place lacks only railroad

a railroad should be construct

Bad Spelling In Harvard.

The midyear examination in Fine
Arts Three. which was held at Harvard
on Feb. 4, uncovered these curiosities
of spelling among other things almost
as curious:
Appolo, alebaster, terricotta, citidal,
mate pillar, jems (gems), statute
(statue), proceeding, collum, entirely,
physique, renound, lakewood (back-
ward), sculpters, athelete.
Such errors were found distributed
throughout The class and were not con-
fined to a few notebooks. Several of
those who misspelled athlete were espe-
cially prominent in athletic circles.
This class in fine arts is among the
largest in the university, having fully
800 members. 1t contains no freshmen,
but is made up mostly of juniors and
seniors. 1t is probably the most popular
of the general culture courses and was
under Professor Charles Eliot Norton
until the present year, The course has
been regarded as almost liberal edu-
cation in itself New York Sun.

Obituary

Mrs. Lizzie Binning was born in
Guernesy county, Ohio, Aug. %, 1851.
Emigrated to ILL.,, with her father
and mother in 1865, was married to
TT. BinDing in Clark county, ILL.,,
May 3, 1879; emigrated to Kansas in
1880 and settled on farm in Wilson
county, where they have resided ever
since.
Mrs. Binning died March II, 1899,
and was buried March 10, at Zion
cemetery. She was followed to her
resting place by large number of her
friends.
Rev. Bayless conducted the funeral
services, the pail bearers were chosen
from her lady friends.
Mrs. Binnlng leaves husband and
one son IS years old to mourn her loss;
there is a place left in the home that
can never be filled. Mrs. Binning was
victim of that dread disease, con-
sumption.
She was called to the bed side of
her dying sister last August in Den
YER, and stayed there three months
hoping to regain her health, but moth
ing seemed to do her any good. Mrs.
Binning believed in future happiness
beyond the grave but believed good
works we're more essential to happi-
ness in this life and the future than
ANYTHING else. She had no use for the
canting hypocrite, and if she ever
made an enemy it was for denouncing
The wrong and upholding the right.
She always looked on the bright side
of life under the worst misfOrtunes.
She was always at the bedside of the
sick and those who were in distress.
Life comes to us, an unlimited guest,
To sojourn for time, and by and by
To leave us in its silent, secret quest,
For its mysterious home, and so, at best, and
We can do naught but live, and love, and die
And then-hnd God, and learn of Him the
rest.
