ROBERTS BEND AND KNOB CREEK

Roberts Bend, July 90. Beautiful
Rose Roberts faded from earth scenes
last Sunday morning at 10 80 o'clock.
She had been a victim Of consumption
for some time, aud suffered intensely
the past three weeks, but death came
sweet and peaceful as the slumber of
an innocent babe. On her sick bed she
was not gloomy or sad-she had bright
hopes in life and was anxious to get
well, yet ever ready to die. Her life
of twenty years had been that of a
Christian. She was faithful in all her
duties, at home, in the school room
and in the church. "God loveth the
death of his saints and now in His
good pleasure He has called her from
loving ones here to live with Him and
her Lord in heaven. We need not point
her sorrowing kindred to heaven for
they are looking there for comfort
May her bright, pure life shine in all
its grandeur and beauty to those who
are wandering in darkness and lead
them to their eternal God.
We are grieved to know that Rose s
face is buried from our sight down in
the lonely grave that no more on earth
we shall see her glad smile or hear
her glad voice, yet we feel that some
day our death too will be swallowed
up in victory and we shall see her with
the loved ones beyond. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. r G.
Linn at Roberts chapel yesterday after
noon and she was laid to rest in the
graveyard there. CHLOE.

Wager of One Hundred Dollars h"de
os to Weight of Their
skeletons.

The most remarkable and uncanny
bet ever recorded was made at Findlay
o.. the other day and drawn ul by at
torneys in ship-shape order. 1t con.
Germs the weight of the bones OF two
men. the bet of 500 to be taken from
their estate at death and paid to the
home and hospital, a local institution.
The men making this wager are two
of the best known oil men in this field.
Both are giants in stature, John Stein
er measuring six feet six inches in his
stockings. and weighing 346 pounds,
and Bert Bowlby, measuring six feet
three, and weighing 23O. The decided
discrepancy in their weight and APP
pearance led to heated discussion il
a local cafe.
Bowlby contended that although
Steiner weighed much more than he
vet his bones were heavier than Stein
er's. To make his assertion good ne
counted out a roll of bills on the table
500 in all. that his skeleton was hesy,
Ter than Steiner's. The latter covered
il at once. It was then that the agree
ment was duly drawn up and sigPed.
Bowlby is a noted athlete, having
stood before kid" Mccoy for five
rounds a few years ago at Springfield
o. Steiner comes from a family Of
giants dwelling near Button, o. Tn,
men are much i'm earnest about theil
wager. and it is likely will donate theii
bodies 10 some medicalinstitution tina
the skeletons may be carefully weighed
The only trouble j. neither viii eve
: know which one has won the bet.

This is one Of Hetty's characteristics
She appears to be about 63 years old,
which is also about Hetty's age. She
doesn't 'sport' diamonds, for Hetty
always thought such things too expen-
siye for n woman with little fortune of
$4,000 600 Nevertheless, it's Hettv.
She absolutely refuses to talk, but this
is only another of her characteristics
From remarks, dropped by her unguard-
eddy, she is on intimate acquaintance
with the Goulds and Vanderbits and
other rich New Workers. She has been
riding over the phosphate fields here to-
day. and it ID believed thatsh in identi-
fed with the project to consolidate the

grippe carly in the spring and this was
complicated by other troubles, and her
suffering for months was very intense.
The old-school doctor in attendance in
formed her father that there was no
hope of her recovery, and that they

possibly lessen her suffering as the end
approached
"a few weeks ago the case of the suf-
feIing girl was given into the charge of
DR.. S. H. Minor, of this place, recent
graduate of school of Osteopathy. The
meuical doctors stated that they could
do nothing for her, and expressed a
Willingness when asked by the father to
turn the case over to the Osteopath
The little girl began to improve immedi-
ately and is now nearly well. The case
is attracting great deal of attention,
as the practice of O3teorathy is con-
paratively new in this section"

In some of the swiss valleys the in
hahitants are all afflicted with goitre or
"thck neck" Instead of regarding
this as adefOrmity they seem to think
it natural feature of physical develop
ment, and tourists passing through the
valleys are sometimes ieered by the
goitrous inhabitants, because they are
without this offensive swelling. Thus
a form of disease may become so com
mon that it is regarded as a natural and
necessary condition of life. 1t is so, to
a large extent, with what are called dis
eases Of women. Every woman suffers
more or less from irregularity, ulcera-
ton, facilitating drains, or female
weakness, and this suffering is so com
mon and so universal that many wo-
men accept it as a condition natural
and necessary to their sex. But il is a
condition as unnatural as it is unneces-
sary. The use Of DR. Pierce's Favorite
7, description strengthens the delicate
womanly organs and regulates the
Womanly functions, so that woman is
practically delivered from the pain and
misery which eat up ten years of her
lite-between the ages of fifteen and
forty five. "FavOrite Prescription
