The funeral of the late Will Beals at
Garden City yesterday was largely at
tended and very sad. The young man
aud his brother, Ed, went to North

afterwards started for home. When
they got as far as Fargo, where they
stopped off for day or two, Will was
taken sick with typhoid fever and
went to the hospital. His brother re-
manned with him for eight days, until
the doctor said that all danger was
past. but as soou as he reached home
he got a telegram calling him back to
Fargo on the first train. When he
reached there, his brother was dead.
Appendicitis had developed and in his
weakened conditi on carried him off.
The deceased was twenty-one years
of age, and leaves two brothers and
two sisters. 1t is said that he was en-
gagged to marry a young lady in Sterl-
ing Center. He was an excellent young
man and we'll liked by all.

She Prefer. a Man. Saddle.

Mrs. Grace Seton-Thompson. who
went to the Rocky mountains with her
husband on hunting trip, strongly adj
vises women when undertaking rough
riding to avoid the sidesaddle. She
gives this instance of the advantage
of riding astride:
Zone day was following game
trail along a very steep bank. which
ended in a granite precipice a hundred
feet below. 1t had been raining and
showing in a fitful fashion. and the
clay ground was slippery. 1t gave a
most treacherous footing.
zone of the pack animals just ahead
of my horse slipped and fell to his
knees. The heavy pack overbalanced
him, and away he rolled over and down
the slope, to be saved from the preci-
pice only by the happy accident of a
scrub tree in the way. Frightened by
the sight, my animal plunged, and he,
too, lost his footing.
Had 1 been riding on sidesaddle
nothing could have saved me. for the
down hill was on the near side. But
swung out of the saddle on the off side
and landed in n heap on the up hill,
still clutching the bride.
THAT act saved my horses life as
well as my own, for the sudden weight
/ put on the upper side as l swung off
enabled him to recover his balance just
in time A sidesaddle would have left
one helpless in such an emergency

The Age. of Royal Brides.

1t has been frequently remarked that
Queen Wilhelmina is marrying very
young; but, putting aside the fact that
it is of the first Importance to the dy-
nasty that she should marry as soon
as possible, she. is not so young, as
queens go. She is 20.
Queen Victoria was only few
months older when she married Prince
Albert.
Queen Isabella of Spain was actually
only &c when she entered the state Of
holy matrimony, and this record by no
means constitutes the earliest age, for
Queen Maria Pia, the handsome and
accomplished queen dowager Of Portu-
gal, was not 10 on her wedding day.
Queen Olga of Sweden and the late
empress of Austria, moreover, were
only 16 when they married.
Queen Wilhelmina, therefore, is quite
young lady of mature experience
compared with these royal brides.

wom.n VINO Are Embalmers.


One of the latest lines of business to
be pursued by women is the grewsome
one of embalming, into which field sew
eral women have entered within two
or three years.
Mrs. Myrtle Hamon, graduate of the
Massachusetts, College of Embalming,
has begun the practice of her profess
sion in Ottawa in the employ of lead
ing undertaken. She discovered she
was the only woman in the business in
Canada at the last annual meeting OF
the Ontario Embalmers' association.
None of the members of that associa-
ton knew that there was a woman in
the profession and welcomed her as
one who fills long felt want"
The demonstration, j. b. Mcintyre.
said that he was proud to be instructor
at a convention where the innovation
had been made. Mrs. Hamon received
the associations certificate, and the ex
aminers spoke highly of her papers.
A woman embalmer has been in bust
ness in New York city for several
years, having studied in New York,
Paris and Berlin. She was a trained
nurse in the beginning and gradually
became deeply impressed with the con-
viction that women undertakers were
absolutely necessary. Unlike the Ca
nadians, New York embalmers object
ed strongly to woman's entrance into
the business and have tried to discred-
1t her. she asserts. Her business is in
creasing. however. as many families
greatly prefer to have woman per-
form the last offices for the dead SIS

Circle Catch Ball.

A good game with lots of fun in it is
"circle catch" ball. A circle is formed
with six or eight feet between each
player. The first player who fails to
catch the ball steps into the center.
He losses the ball to a player in the
circle, who in turn throws it around the
circle, the game being to keep 1t away
from the player in the center. If he
catches it, the one toward whom 1t
was thrown takes his place in the CEN
ter. This makes an interesting game
and keeps the players continually on
the move.
A game similar to this is played by
the children forming circle and the
player in the center throwing the ball
In the air, at the same time calling to
one of the players In the circle to catch
it. If he is successful he remains in
his place; If not, he goes to the center.
