Stops, age 70 years, months, and Is
days. The deceased was born in
Wayne county, Ohio, Nov. 10th 1929,
and departed this life July 2Sth, 1900.
When about ten years old, he with his
parents, moved to Adams county Indi-
ana, where he resided until united in
marriage with Miss Harriet Teeple,
February 6, 1856. To this union was
born three children, one son and two
daughters, one daughter dying in infan-
cy, leaving his wife, son, and one
daughter, Mrs. Amos Fancher to
mourn his departure. Soon after his
marriage, they removed to Keokuk
county, Iowa, and came to Audubon
county in March, 1881, where he pur-
chased farm in Douglas township and
resided there until four years ago, when
he moved to Pocahontas county. His
health having been failing him for
about year, when he began to think
the matter serious one and upon con-
sulting a physician, the disease was
pronounced cancer of the stomach and
informed him that his time was short.
Yet he was willing to go and awaited
the summons of the death angel. As
husband and father he was ever
faithful, kind and loving. As q. neigh
Dor he was generous and kind and was
respected by all who knew him. His
suffering was very intense at times, yet
he bore it with fortitude and patience
He had been at the home of Mr.. Fan
cher the past three months where every
thing was done in human power to
alleviate pain and make his last days
comfortable. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. G. E. Burtch,
from the Fancher residence, Sunday,
July 30, and the remains laid to rest
| in the Cameron Center cemetery to
await the final resurrection. The be-
reaved friends have the sympathy of
their many friends in their sad bereave-
ment.

Leg gives For Women.

The costume of the Pu Yuan Pen-jen
women in the Shan states is very strik-
ing, consisting Of cloth hood, an open
jacket and a pair of short white trou-
sers reaching barely to the knee. But
the most important, though the least
noticeable, part of their costume is
their colored cloth CATERS. These the
women are obliged to wear, as without
them it is believed they would be able
to fly away, leaving their husbands
and sweethearts sorrowful. This legend
recalls a custom of ancient Carthage,
where the unmarried women wore
metal leg gives, which were severed
only during the marriage ceremony.
The Akkas, also Wont tribe, wear
similar CATERS, though do not think
the same Importance is attached to
them. 1t is probably an emblem of
some old custom of which the true sig.
nificance has been forgotten. - Geo

English Cabinet Secrets.


Secrets of state are probably the best
kept of all secrets. When cabinet min
listers in England first are admitted to
the privy council, they have to take a
solemn oath not to make known the
conversation or proceedings of cabinet
councils or any communications they
may have with the queen or with an
other minister. They cannot give a
hint of such things even to the highest
members of the government who are
not cabinet ministers. No clerk or sec
rotary is allowed to be present at cabi-
net councils. no written record is kept,
and it is the custom not to take any
notes; hence no one but the crown and
the ministers ever knows what has re-
ally been said and decided at cabinet
meetings. The oath of secrecy lasts to
the end of life. An ex-cabinet minister
is as much bound by 1t as an actual
cabinet minister.
Any conversation a minister or peer
may have with the crown on state mat
tiers must also be kept secret. So must
letters to and from the sovereign. And
even communications that have passed
between sovereigns and ministers Of
former reigns must not be divulged.
But in cases of extreme urgency the
crown could and would allow breach
of the oath Of secrecy.
