Miss Clara Belle watts Death.

When death comes TO the aged we
are often expecting 1t, but when he
enters a happy family and snatches
from 1t the sunshine and pride OF the
home, we are shocked and saddened,
and the sympathies of all go out to
the bereaved ones.
Such visit has the angel OF death
made to the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Levi Watts, q miles west Of Benton
City, and after an illness Of only a
few months, Clara Belle Watts passed
from the busy duties and pleasures Of
a happy life into the great eternal.
The deceased was Is years, 8 3months
and days, and was a member OF the
Presbyterian Jhurch. She was taken
with that dreaded disease, consump-
tlon, and although kind and loving
relatives and friends were constantly
near to administer to her every want
and comfort, and did everything to re-
store her to health, she steadily sank
until l o'clock Wednesday morning,
when she breathed her last.
She leaves to mourn her loss, IA
ther, mother, three sisters, two
brothers and a host of friends. She
was just in the bloom and beauty Of
young womanhood and was a kind
and helping daughter and sister
whose loving heart was ever ready to
do some gracious service and whose
sweet, sunny, disposition and gentle
manner endeared her to the hearts Of
those who knew her.
The funeral service was conducted
Thursday morning at 10 O'Clock by
Rev. Carr, Of Montgomery City, and
the remains we're laid to rest in the
Benton City cemetery to await the
resurrection morn.
Weep not dear parents, Clara is not
dead, but sleepeth. 5. L.

HOT WEATHER REFLECTION.


By JbBIUS JOHNSON.
/ feel about like Wash Barnes cali
when they tied him with rope
In the back yard, where the wimen
folks was billing their soft soap;
The day was hot and the flies were
bad, and the calf, in search of peace
In running round, tripped on his rope
and fell In the billing soap grease.
Me and the calf's been wondering
since, as it grows hot and hotter,
If there's any balm in Gilead-outside
of plain ice water.
A feller said cabbage leaf stuffed up
in One's chapeau
Might ameliorate conditions by a de-
gree or so.
II Mother Eve was in Audrain, and
depended on that leaf,
She'd have to stay in bed all day, or
she'd surely come to grief.
Yet, ! don't know The limbs are
bare, and modesty is mocked
BY the wanton nakedness Of earth
and yet, the corn's not shocked.
If | could find tree toad, or just
knew where one lived at,
I'd urge him with more arguments
than Kansas Popocrat,
To git down on his hind legs, with his
fore legs spraddled wide
Which position gives full side play to
his holler works inside
And holler rain, till it'u'd have to
rain a regular water spout;
And I'd get dadfetched peafowl, too
Ito help the tree toad out.
Them feliers in cahoots would make
such sounds In natures ears,
That just through sheer yexation the
Old Dame would shed tears;
Then the ponds would I'll up again,
MEND the calf would lift our head,
And the fields would bloom In green
ness from tears Mis- Nature shed.
And the tree toad and the peafowl
could boast and brag awhile,
And next spring run for ofiice-and
get left bout a mile.

TOO LAZY TO LIVE.
Joe Bingham Had Not Worked in so
Years Stood in Front Of an APP
proching Train to Save Effort.

CENTER VILLAGE, Conn, July "a
Joseph A. Bingham, Of Andoyer, was
buried to-day. He enjoyed the unique
reputation Of being the LATEST man In
Connecticut. Bingham was fifty years
old and never in the memory Of any
acquaintance had he done a stroke OF
work.
Born of well-to-do parents, he was
supported by their wealth as long as
they lived, then legacy was left in
trust, which the selectmen doled out
to him. That was used up and he be-
came a pauper. He was too lazy to cut
the wood given him, to lazy to draw
water from the nearby well, too lazy
to tie up his shoes. 1t was too much
work to put on collar, and as for
cooking a meal with material all given
him--well, he would starve rather
than do it.
For the first time in twenty-five
years he looked into mirror on Mon
day last. What he saw there was his
own reflection. He walked out and
deliberately stood in front of an APP
preaching train. 1t ended his life.
No exertion ON his part was needed,
as there would have been II he had
used a pistol, rope or poison.

LIBERTY, Mo-, July 25.-At the
Randolph ferry, on the Missouri river,
a traction engine was run onto the
boat to be taken across the river, but
in going down the bank the engine
gained such headway that it could not

into the current Of the river, Cor

swift and deep and both men were in
danger of drowning. Miss Fannie

old daughter, ran to a skifl and hur-
ridly rowed to her brother and New

to save them. They were weak, but
with the aid Of the brave girl, got
