A fact that is every day making itself
conspicuous is that liquor cuts too much
Of a figure in the politics of the land
There are too many minds turned and
votes changed because of drink of
whiskey and the sooner this condition of
things is recognized the better it will
be for this country. No influences,
other than a mans own conception of
right and wrong, should be brought to
bear upon his vote, and the person who
$ has no political preference is surely not
entitled to a vote morally, even though
he is legally. The time should come
when men should come to the polls and
vote, and then go away until after the
vote has been counted. There is plenty
of further ballot reform.-Falls Creek

DR.. G. =. w. Merritt, who is now in

medical missionary at Pao-Ting-Fu,
China, near the center of the present
troubles, in answer to "Who are the

an organization having as their object
the expulsion of foreign influence.
Their attacks upon missionaries are con-
sequently not because they are mission
aries, but foreigners, or foreign devils.
The killing of native Christians natur-
ally follows, and not because they are
Christians, for Chinese are very toler-
ant of sects, but owing to their connec-

A YOUNG LIFE ENDED.
Agnes Annie Stone Died Saturday Night
She Was Ready to Depart.


Agnes Annie Stone, eldest daughter
OF Mr. and Mrs. w. s. Stone, peacefully
departed this life Saturday night at
twelve o'clock Leaning on the Ever
lasting Arms" just before she expired
she whispered, ~ am going home" :"
While the family knew that Agnes
could not remain with them many days,
yet the end came sooner than expected
and the family was not all present when
the Death Angel called for her. Mr..
and Mrs. Stone. Cecil and Florence were
the members of the family at the bed
side.
Agnes was born in London November
25. 1877, making her % years and I
months old at time Of death. About n
year ago IL became evident that ron-
sumption was sapping the vitality from
her young life, and every effort possible
was made to stay the rayishing5 Of the
dread disease, but medical skill and
earnest, faithful prayers availcd not.
Short funeral services. attended by Il
large number of friends, were held at
residence Monday evening, conducted
by DR.. A. j. Meek, pastor Of Baptist
church, assisted by Rev. Perry A. Reno,
OF the NJ. f.. church, and Rev w. Frank
Rebcr, OF Presbyterian church. and on
Tuesday morning the mortal remains of
devoted daughter, loving sister and
kind friend were taken to pitttsburg on
the S.3s A. V. R'y train. At 43rd street,
Pittsburg, hearse and carriages met
the funeral party and they were taken
to the Allegheny County Cemetery,
Pittsburg, and interment was made in
family plot. The pall-bearers were:
Paul Riston, Clifford Kaucher, Charles
King, viii Herpel, Raymond Brown
and Harold Arnold.
The floral tributes were handsome:
Pillow from Reynoldsville High School
Alumni Association, Maltese cross from
b. Y. =. u. wreath from DR.. ]. II.
Murray, Paul Riston and Harold Ar
mold, and number Of beautiful boquets
from intimate friends
Memorial services will be held in the
Baptist church next Sunday morning,
conducted by DR.. A. J. Meek, pastor of
| the deceased.
Agnes Stone had n very sweet dispo-
sition, and as a consequence her friends
were numerous. She always made ex-
cuses for the shortcomings of any Of her
friends and acquaintances. In 1898 Miss
Agnes graduated in the Reynoldsville
high school. She was a very bright
young lady and could talk intelligently
on most any subject. She was quite an
artist, as many samples of her handi-
work about the home will prove, and
was an excellent musician. She was a
member Of the Baptist church, B. Y.
Il. U. and Sunday school For some
time before her health forbade IL she
had charge of the primary room in the
Sunday school. Agnes was devout
christian; she had implicit faith in the
Bible, which she exemplificd during the
long weeks of suffering that she passed
through patiently. a noble christian
character ceased to exist when Agnes
Stone closed her eyes in death.
A. H. Stone, of Williamsburg, f.. S.
Stone, of Turtle Creek brothers Of de-
ceased, and Miss Name Glass, of Oak
mont, warm friend OF deceased,
arrived here Monday noon to attend
funeral.

Facts
for Women

Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for
thing, cannot do everything. 1t may
create sale for a time, but in order
to insure lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
is lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.

RAGE FOR BARBARIC JEWELS
at the Tops of Their Sport
Ing boots.

Bracelets and anklets as burden
some in appearance as shackles and
heavily linked chains are accepted as
the latest mode in jewelry by we'll
gowned women.
They first came out in Paris last
spring, and were worn exclusively on
the ankles, with the short bicycle skirts
that were then fashionable. When they
were imported to this country it was
naturally thought they were to be worn
on the wrists, but the public eye is at
last being opened, however, by two New
York women who have just returned
from Paris, and who wear them about
the ankle, or just at the top of the
boot when donned in their sporting
clothes.
1t is said on good authority that sew
eral other women have already been
measured for them. The most beauti-
full ones are undoubtedly those that are
enameled, or the dull gold ones that
are studded with uncut stones. But one
is admissible, and it should be worn
on the left foot.
This tendency for massive, barbaric
jewclry is also noticed in the bands OF
gold of exquisite Etruscan workman
ship which are worn low on the fore
head with dinner or evening gowns;
and in the heavy chains that fall to the
knees after being wrapped several
times around the threat. Suspended at
the end of them there is often small,
single cyeglass, diminutiye fan or an
odd little notebook.
The revival of this fashion of wear
ing chains. it is interesting to reflect,
originated in Rome, at n fashionable
bazar for the benefit of Il convent, when
three long chains of cut jet were strung
by the nuns and offered for sale. They
were bought by two New York women
and one French woman.
Afterward a large demand for them
was made in Paris, and the inventive
city was soon taxing its powers to pre-
sent them in numerous forms and
styles. Those made of gun metal with
pearls at regular intervals are now re-
Edlb' as olIc VI INV hCN'S' anu p'S'
styles to wear.
At present it is also n fad to collect
semi-precious stones, such as anne
thysts, aqua-marines, moonstones, to-
PAGES, Mexican opals and others, TO
have set in long, gold chain. Ere
quently they can be picked up very
cheaply at old curio shops. About 30
of them are necessary to fill in properly
a chain of moderate length.
Beside the cost of the chain and the
stones, at least one or two dollars
apiece must be allowed for the setting
of them. The various sizes, shapes and
colors of the ston"T. al he chain
