Sudden Death.

William E. Gaskill, the 25-year-old
son of Samuel and Phoebe Gaskill,
was accidentally killed by shot fired
from revolver in his own hands, on
Sunday, November 4, 1900, at II
o'clock, noon. The deceased was born
in Lapeer county, Michigan, December
80, 1875, and came to Adams county
in 1897 He was young man of in
telllgence, and was respected, honored
and loved by friends and acquaint-
ances, who mourn the loss of his sud-
den and unexpected departure. The
appearance OF the surroundings show
an accidental discharge of the weapon,
probably letting it fall upon the floor,
the hammer striking and discharging
the weapon. The bullet entered
through the breast and came out
under the left arm.
The sympathy OF the community
is extended to the Borrowing ones who
grieve his loss.

cause. There is nothing like having
pride in ones locality, finding out the
good points it contains-thc points
you can talk on--and them impress

and especially upon those people who
are inclined to dispute them. A little
time spent in educating a stranger is

There is no telling how much injury

it nothing stronger than that spirit
which is determined to show to the
world the advantages which they pre-

not upon the virtues OF the place, but
upon its drawbacks; forgetting that
they are thus putting in the hands OF
enemies a most potent weapon. A
citizen will complain OF the opposition
which he encounters from the very
ones who should help him when he is
engaged in promoting some enter

more than private ends. He COM

tricks of Wrinkles sallow face might
have found a hint of uneasiness there
as Ronald caught his eye and held it
steadily for a second.

For a moment Wrinkle gazed almost

The officer sent another glance up the

did not like the expression of the face
before him; he dreaded the awful
threatening tranquility of it.

The Word "Oueer..

gin attributed TO it. One night, when
the performance at Drury Lane was
finished, the celebrated Quin, many of
whose jokes are still remembered, Of
fered to bet a young nobleman $500
that next morning a word would be in
universal use which had never been
heard before. The nobleman accepted
the wager and left the theater. Then
Quin summoned all the 'supers," who
happened 20 be very numerous, and
gave each q large piece of chalk. He
told them TO GO 10 the leading lhOr-
oughfareS of London and write at in
tervals on the flags the word queer"
Quin's orders were faithfully carried
out, and, on the following morning, of
course, people were astOnished-the
word was in everybody's mouth. The
great actor with little difficulty made
his claim TO the nobleman's banknote,
while bequeathing a new word 10 the
anguage.-Detroit Free Press.
