Rev r H Jones conducting the
solemn and impressive seremonies.
Mrs. Cox was one of the best
informed women of her age in this
community. She was an ninterested
member Of the Literary society OF
this city aud rarely missed a meet
ing She possessed remarkable
memory, and was familiar with
many past events of interest as well
the current topics of the day. Her
life was une of unseliish thoughts
and kindly deeds to others, so
even death came gently unto her,
and closed her ured eyes calmly
aud without pain.
Her face as she lay in the eter-
nal sleep was one of the most tran
oui [ have ever SEEM ali the
lines Of care, age and pain were
erase d as if by the gentle touch OF
the great Master. and the peace OF
the u,hrr and better world seemed
resting upon her countenance like
u hene6lciiOn.
The profusion Of beautiful flow
ers brought by loving kindred and
I friends bore silent and fragrant
testirauny of the high esteem and
affection with which she was re-
/ gardvd by all VINO knew her.
IL Tie peaceful calm of her face
there was blessed assurance, for
I those who mourn for her, that she
has reaoned that land "where
tired feet with sandals loosed may
rest" alid that for her indeed they
may well believe that:
God over His own in safety keep,
He giveth HIS beloved Sleep

IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. NJ Cox, the subject OF tbs
sketch, who died at her home in
this city Wednesday morning,
Feb'y 9th, 1901, was born in Am
ersburgh, Canada, Nov. 8, 1928.
Her grandmother was a nelce OF
the famous Tecumseh, the great
leader and warrior Of the Shawnee
race. Her grandfather, Robert
Ironsides, was for years the Indian
Agent for the British government
to the Indians OF Canada.
Mrs. Cox could recount many
interesting "reminiscences OF her
early childhood,in old Fl. Maiden,
as Amersburgh was then called, 2,
wheH the Indians came by hun
dreds to receive their annual pres
ents from the British government,
and we'll remembered the last
distribution ever made to them.
She went from Canada to Kansas
in the fall of 1860, and removed
with her family from there to the
Cherokee nation in 1871. She
resided on her farm until 1914
when she moved to Vinita, but
afterwards returned 10 the farm
where she continued to reside until
October, 1899, when she made
Vlnita ner final home.
Two years ago she built cosy
and comfortable home in the west
ern part oftown, where she resided
with her son Herbert. Her sister,
Mrs. George Blakeney, and her
husband, also made their home
with them. In fact it seemed as
if she had just become situated SC
as to fully enjoy the evening Of
her days, in the quiet and comfort
of a home among her relatives ano
friends, and within easy distance
of her church. to which she was
deeply devoted.
But God, whose plans We shall
hereafter better understand, called
her to higher and happier duties.
She leaves two devoted sons, Her
bert and Claude Cox, who were
with Ter when she died, I've
brothers and three sisters-Coliu
Ironsides Of Michigan; Roberl
ironsides OF Niniis; Mrs. c. Cru,ch-
field Of Lawrence, Kansas, Mrs
H. /. West Of Ninita, and Mrs.
George Blakeney alsa Of Vinita.
Mrs. Cox was a devout member
Of the Episcopal church, al Of bel
life. and an earnest aad active
church worker 20 the dsy Of bel
death. She was greatly interested
in the completion and dedication
OF the new ST. Johns Chapel il
this city and her whole interes
seemed ceuierei in the church
work.

The PEOPLE KNEW HIM.
(Benson's Plaster Is Pains Mastsr)

George Washington made and sold -four,
and every barrel of -four in the market
branded &c. Washington, Mount Vernon"
sold without delay. No question was ever
raised as to quality or weight.
Benson's Porous Plaster sells on its repu-
tation everywhere. AL the buyer wants to
be certain of is that the plaster offered him
really is Benson's, and not O worthless imi-
tation of it or substitute for II.
A plaster Ia tho best form of external rem
edy, and Benson's is the best plaster; 5000
physicians and druggists, and multitude
of people no man can number, have settled
that. "You can trust it," they say.
Coughs, colds, lame back. lumbago, mus
cular stiffness and rheumatism, troubles of
the liver and kidneys, influenza or grip,
pneumonia, and all other diseases open to
external treatment, are at once relieved and
cured by Benson's Plaster.
Do not assume that Belladonna. Capsi-
cum or Strengthening plasters are "just as
good as' Benson's They are vastly in-
ferior. other plaster is as good as
Benson's.
In competition with the best-known
plasters of Europe and America, Benson's
have received .Jifty, flee highest aaoards.
For sale by all druggists or We will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States, ON receipt Of 26c. each.

The Deadly Cigarette.

From one of our exchanges we
learn that cigarette hend, in New
York, has broken. out all over his
body with yellow spots the size OF a
pin head, and the ends of his fingers
and toes are sore. The physicians
who have diagnosed his case say he
has caught the leprosy from the de-
testable cigarette. Two victims in
Chicago it says are similarly effected.
The supposition is that the rice paper
which mostly comes from the Orient,
had passed through the hands OF a
leper. 1t is awful to ponder over, yet
every day we see mer and small boys
smoking the vile things. There is a
law which forbids the sale of cigarettes
to boys under sixteen years, but they
manage to secure them in some man
per. Wouldn't it be good idea to
see that this law is more rigidly en-
forced?

Life q Century Ago.

One hundred years ago man could
not take a ride on steamboat.
He could not go from Washington
to New York in few hours.
He had never seen an electric light
or dieamed of an electric car.
He could not send telegram.
He couldn't talk through the tele-
phone, and he had never heard OF the
hello girl.
He could not ride bicycle.
He could not call in a stenographer
and dictate letter.
He had never received typewriter
communication.
He had never heard of the germ
theory or worried over bacilli and
bacteria.
He never looked pleasant before a
photographer or had his picture taken.
He never heard phonograph talk
or saw kinetescope turn out prize
fight.
He never saw through a Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary with the aid
of a Roentgen ray.
He haG never taken a ride IN an
elevator.
He had never imagined such a
thing as a typsetting machine or a
typewriter.
He hal never used anything but a
wooden p,ow.
He had never seen his wife using a
sewing machine.
He had never struck a match on
his pants or anything else.
He couldn't take an. ..anesthetic and
have his leg cut off without feeling it.
He had never purchased Io-cen,
magazine which would have been re.
garded as miracle of art.
He could not buy paper for a
cent and learn everything that had
happened the day before all over the
world.
He had never seen Mccormack
reaper or a sef-binding harvester.
He had never crossed an iror
bridge.
In short there we're several thlng
that he could not do and severa
things he did not know.
