-Four Generations.
Church a.?

Easton, Pa.-There are four genera
tions of the well-known Youell family
of this place, all of whom, even the
boy, can WELD a razor.
Benjamin Mettler Youell is new 81
years of age, his grandfather having
been a Colonel in the Revolutionary
War. He was married in September,
1874, and has had nine children. six
girls and three boys, and thirteen
grandchildren and seven great-grand-
children. In his married life of fifty
seven years there have been only two
deaths in his family, grandson and d
great-grandson. He is the oldest bar
Der in Easton and has shaved nearly
all of Eastons prominent men in his
quaint old shop near the Delaware.
His three sons. five grand2ons and
three sons-inaw are all BARRIERS. ami
Uncle Ben" as he is familiarly called,
looks as though he were good for many
years more. In 1860 he was blown up
by the explosion of the little steamboat
Alfred Thomas and crippled for life,
his lower limbs being badly mangled.
After nearly two years in bed he was
able to be about again He is one of
the few old Durham boatmen still liv-
ing and is reDlete with stories of his
travels Mt sea before he settled here.
1t is noted that though Mr. Youell is
above four score of years in age, there
are no signs of nervousness in his ac-
tions. He works as smoothly with a
razor as a barber of one-fourth his age.

Daughter is Back.

Grinnell, IA romantic story is in
yolved in the appearance at Harlan of
Mrs. f. c, Fetter. of Honduras. Cen
tral America. as a claimant of the es-
tate of her father. j. l.. Fetter. who
died last winter. Fetter was extreme
ly wealthy. Some thirty years ago a
daughter had mysteriously disappeared
and, Notwithstanding all efforts, her
people were unable to locate her. 1t
was generally supposed that she had
been abducted, Since his death. Fet-
ter's relatives have claimed his estate,
without opposition, until few days
ago, when woman, giving her name
as Mrs, f. c. Fetter. registered at one
Of the Harlan hotels and claimed to be
the long-lost daughter. Her story is
an interesting one. After many adyen-
lures, after being taken from her home,
she was taken 10 Central America,
where she found d home with the fam
lily Of a wealthy planter, Her attor-
ncys are taking steps to prove her
claim.

Killed by His Coffin.

Sharon, Penn. Jan. 12.-'Abraham
Rothmyer, aged 73 years, an eccentric
German of Latimer. Ohio. a few miles
northwest cf here. became imbued
some time ago with the notion that af j..
ter his death body:natchers would take
his BODY from the grave and sell it TO
medical college. He didn't believe
in cremation, so he had heavy metal
casket with an equally strong lock
made. Recently the casket was de-
livered to Rothmyer's house, and he
had it set ON end in a room. There are
other instances of living persons WAC
hObnocbed with such grim, silent, a1-
pallirg companions as caskets, but
Rothmyer took exCc otional delight in
inspecting his coffin. A few nights ago
he was trying to move the heavy cas-
ket, when it fel on him, almost crush
irg him. and he died yesterday. Ply.
s!cian said a blood vessel in his head
had been ruDtured, Rothmyer was
buried in the coffin that had caused his
death.

Studied Lesson.

Huntsville, Ala.-A story too good to
be kept from the public has come to
light in Huntsville.
Some time since Mrs e. c. Jackson.
a prominent lady of this place, in
formed her youngest son. Frank Jack
son, a"ed about IL years, that he
could net use lamp light in the attic
where he frequently studied his les
sons, after o'clock at night.
From the time the public school
closed in the afternoon until this hour
did not give the little fellow. it seems,
time in which to thoroughly learn his
lessons and he began to scheme for a
light. Some time afterwards the lad
thoght Of an electric l,~ht beyond a
large oak tree. in front of the house.
The neighbors in the northern part Of
the city took notice of a little boy sit
ting under this tree between two and
four o'clock every morning.
An investigation proved that it was
little Frank out there studying his his
tory and other lessons. He selected
the above hours in order to get through
with his studying before his parents
woke VA and also to get back to his
bedroom, where they could find him
every morning. When the parents
were notified OF the fact they were
mush surprised at the enterprise of
their son, and readily consented to
thereafter furnish him with all the
light he wants.
This is the first instance on record in
Huntsville where a pupil wanted to
study more than his parenb5 wanted
him TO.

Wants Name Changed.

Topeka, Kas.-In order the easier to
live down his reputation as the biggest
liar in Kansas, Jacob Moon. of Garden
City, has made application to the Pro-
bate Court in that county to have his
name changed to Rara Avis Baird
Moon is a farmer by occupation and
has lived In his neighborhood for near
ly twenty years.
Residents Of Western Kansas profess
to believe that Moon has never told the
trutn in that time. even in common
matters. 1t is said to be literally true
of him that. until he made his New
Years resolution. he would rather lie
than tell the truth. On New Years
Day he had notice inserted in a local
paper that he was swearing off his
habit of lying and that in the future he
would not tell any more lies. and that
he did not want to have people call
him by the name of Moon.
His application for legal change of
name followed. His request will be
granted, in all probability though the
change from Jacob to Rara Avis may
startle the Judge and induce him to
withhold his decision.

bers. Mrs. Slack was a woman of very
unusual character and ability, thor
oughly honest, upright, punctual and
reliable. She had all the sterling vir-
tues, and at the same time was gener-
Gus, charitable and loving. She was a
willing and cheerful giver, and in her
more active years was a great help in
getting others to give in the same
spirit. She seldom referred ITO any of
her own generous giving, and if obliged
to do so would speak in modest, al
most Slhamefaced way. Only one who
knew her intimately could know how
many were the thoughtful, loving
deeds that filed her days"
Mrs. Glines has only just slipped
away from us. | believe her residence
has always been in Marietta and her
church home here.
She was one in whom the social quail
tiles were prominent. She delighted
in being with her friends Always
sympathetic and generous, of late
years, since her home cares lessened,
she has given much thought and time,
and labor in connection with the ASsO-
ciated Charities. Many will recall her
faithful work years ago in the sewing
school on Post street.
Some sixteen years ago she took up
the work of teaching t4e little ones in
the primary department of our Sunday
School, and through heat and cold, yea"
after year, has she faithfully taught so
that large proportion of those now in
our school were at some time under her
instruction. She loved the children.
and from the Home on high shall she
not rejoice to see one and another
come into the full fellowship of the
Church?

every Mason who attended his funeral
should smoke the best cigar to be had

and that every woman attending the

friends smoked the cigars and as many
women received the boxes of candy.
