MRS. MARY T.. FOSS.

Mary f., wife of C. Eugene Foss, died
at her home last Monday after very
short illness. She had not felt quite
well for three or four days, but her
trouble was not considered serious until
Sunday noon, after which she sank rap
idly. The disease, which is very I'M
common one, is termed Xerostemia, an
affection of the glands which secrete the
saliva. Her age was 32 years and 2
months. The circumstances of this sad
occurrence appeal strongly to the SYM
pathetic feelings of our townspeople to-
ward the father, left so suddenly with
four little children to be reared without
mother. We are glad to pay a tribute
to the one who has gone by testifying
to her kind motherly care for her little
ones, and another to the father who has
worked steadily to provide home for
his loved ones, and while words have
but little weight at such a time we are
sure all will be glad to extend a friendly
grasp of the hand and a word OF encour-
agement. Funeral services were held at
her late home Wednesday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. Ed, Gale.
A CARD. It is with feelings OF the
deepest gratitude that express my sin
cere thanks for many kind words and
actions extended by my friends and
neighbors in my great trouble, The
knowledge of friendly sympathy is
great assistance to me at this time,
G. EUGENE Foss.

TURKISH BOYS IN SCHOOL
Some Astonishing Yarns Taught the
 Young Students,

The beginning of a Mahommedan boys school life is always made an occasion for a festival. It occurs OH his seventh birthday. The entire school goes to the new scholars home, leading richly caparisoned and flower bedecked donkey The new pupil is placed on this little beast, and with his nodja, or teacher, leading the children form a double file and escort him to the schoolhonse, singing joyous hyi ns. To a stranger the common Turkish school presents singular scene. The pupils are seated cross-legged on the bare marble pavement in the porch of the mosque, forming a 8emieifele about hodja, who is, as a rule. an old fat man. He holds in his hand stick long enough to reach every student. By means of this rod he is enabled not only to preserve order among the mis- ehievous, but to urge on the boy whose recitation is not satisfactory. But ss a rule, hodjas are lazy and often fall asleep. A half grown boy. in the pres- enee of missionary, who tells the story, asked the hodja: What makes 1t rain?" "Up in the clouds, an- swered this wise teacher. @our prophet Mahomet and the one who belongs to the Christians went into business to- gether, the profits to be divided. One night Mahomet stole all the profits aud ran away. In the morning when the Christian god discovered his loss lts pursued Mahomet in his golden char tot, the rumbling of whose wheels makes the thunder. The lightning are the bullets of fire which the god shot after his fleeing partner. Mahomet, dnding he could not escape n midair, plunged into the sea. the Christian god followed him, the shock splasbed the water out, and it fell to the earth in rain" The young Turks. believing the teachings of their hodja. grow ap WttA- out further investigating the causes of rain, the true source of which is taught an American child in the Kindergarten. .s.Boston Globe

 "The twenty-four hour clocks are al- ready an established institution 1n Russia, and I believe that their official sanction in our country will lead to the adoption of the system on French rail- roads, which would surely lead to the extension If the plan throughout Italy, Switzerland and Spain. should think, considering the manifest merits of the new way. the railways of the United States. which are the most progressive in the world, would soon take it up and have done with the ancient system, So confusing and misleading through the enforced use of a. n. and p. m The tWenty-four hour clock system is an ideal one for the railways, absolutely preventing all danger through the dup~ lieation of hours for day and night.
