NEVER ATE FOREIGN MEAT.
1t Doesn't Pay to BE Too Sure Until
One knows All the Facts.

One Knows All the Facts.
A certain Major Brownjones, who
made it his boast that he never allowed
American or colonial meat to be served
at his table, recently visited an old
comrade in Liverpool. One night at
dinner a most delicious saddle of zap
parently) Welsh mutton appeared. to
which the major did ample justice.
"Ah," he observed, Il wish that my
butcher in London would send me stuff
like that, and yet he deals only in the
best British meat"
We'll" said his friend, las a matter
of fact you have been eating New Zea-
land mutton. But it's only fair to say
that l get it from a friend who Is a
large wholesale importer"
"By Jove, you don't say SOP ex-
claimed the guest. Il wish he'd tell
me where can get the like in town."
wen go and see him tomorrow"
said the host. The visit was duly paid
to the meat monger, who smiled when
he heard the Londoner's eulogy and
explanation.
Tell me-" he returned after listening
to the epicure's remarks, Sin what part
Of London you reside, and dare say l
can give you the address Of retail
butcher who will supply you with ex-
actly the same sort of mutton as that
which you like so much" The major
handed him his card.
"Ah," observed the importer, there's
the very man within two streets Of
your house. We supply him with all
his meat. Here's his address, he add
ed, handing slip Of paper ta he seek
er after succulent joints.
The major read, the major started.
the major frowned, the major, truth to
say, cried vengeance, and no wonder,
for the address was that Of his own
butcher, who dealt only in home prod

Obituary.

Mrs Margaret Stewart, wife Of John
Stewart, Jr., departed this life April
IL, 1900, aged thirty two years, six
months.
The deceased was born in Ireland
October II, 1867, and was married to
John Stewart ut the age of twenty.
They removed to this county two years
later and have been residents Of Audi
bon county for the past ten years. To
this union were born five children, one
preceding it's mother to that better
country in infancy, the other four to-
gether with the husband, are left to
mourn the early departure OF a dutiful
and kind mother and an affectiOnate
companion. That dreaded disease, con-
sumption, began its deadly work one
year ago. All earthly help seemed
powerless. Last fall she was taken to
Colorado in order, if possible, to i'm
prove her condition, returning sometime
since to succumb to the iron jaws of
death at the above date.
The deceased was truly loved by all
for her denying spirit, kind heart and
devoted life. She was member of the
M. E. church, at Ross, and frequently
during her sickness expressed her read
mess and preparation, only regreting
to leave the kind husband and children.
While apparently cut off at the time
when most needed by her family it is
evident that the Creator fully under,
stands, and while we here "see through
glass darkly, then face to face

Cameron Center cemetery to await the
final resurrection. Truly it can be said
that the bereaved husband and children
have the sympathy of their wide scope
of friends whose hand and hearts will
not cease to render assistance. ~

To Fly in Your Dreams,

There is arpecuharity about the flying
dream that seems to be constant. OF
all those whom L asked about the mat
ter and who are conscious Of the flying
dream at all not one has ever known
himself to make any high flights In his
dreams. One always flies low. with
skimming manner. slightly, but only
slightly, above'the breads Of pedestrians.
And ones critical attitude in adream
toward ones own performance Is al
ways interesting to note, both In re-
gard to this particular class Of dream
and even more toward one of the other
classes. 1t Is an attitude that Is well
brought out in "Alice In Wonderland"
where Alice Is made to exclaim or to
think while she is falling, "How brave
they will all think 1t of me at home not
to mind a great fall like Ahis!"-Long-
mans.

When did the present usage of nam
