Clyde Parsons,

Clyde Monroe, son of MIR. and Mrs. j.
f. Parsons, was born near Leon, Iowa.
July %, 1881, and died at the home of
his brother James, in P%leasanton, Iowa,
the night of July 81, 1902, lacking only
a few short hours of being 81 years old.
He lived with his parents near Leon
until about four years AGO., when they
moved to Henry county, Missouri, he
going with them. A little over a We III
ago Clyde was taken sick and the best
of medical skill seemed to do him no
good and finally his physicians, about
five or six months ago, advised a
change of climate, thinking 20 ne good
could be had from it. Having been
raised in this county, it was only nat
ural that he thought his health could
be regained here, hence he came here to
his brothers. About six weeks g he
took to his bed and the very best of
care, watching and medical skill we're
used to alleviate his suffering, but it
was only. palliative. Clyde had run his
race of usefulness. The scythe wa fast
being welded by Father Time and
death was fast claiming her own; until
at last, the light of life began to flicker,
smolder, flash a little, then 90 down,
then brighten again, the watchers and
loved ones all being expectant that God
in his great mercy would spare the soul
a little longer. Then a dull expression,
labored breathing, a far away look of
the sunken eyes, rigid muscles, a culver
and all is over. Suffering here is no
more. The spirit has returned to the
God who gave it. He leaves three sis.
tiers and six brothers to mourn his
death, besides a loving father and moth.
er to whom he was always dutiful and
respected much.
The remains were taken to Leon Wed.

The Rooster as q Type.

|, The entertaining dispatch from
London to the effect that wealthy
widow in Madrid had left large es-
tate to rooster under the convic-
ton that it was the reincarnation of
her late husband is both amusing and
instructive. For even fervid spirit
ualist and believer in the transmigra-
ton of souls to discover in an ordi-
nary barnyard rooster traits and quail
tiles establishing its identity with
beloved and lamented relative would
seem at first glance fancy "begot of
thought, conceived Of spleen, and
born of madness" But when the in
cident is critically aualyz ed the ques-
ton suggests itself whether the widow
was not rare humorist with talent
for recognizing subtle parallels, and
whether in the drafting Of her ecentric
will she did not perpetrate a clever
joke on the deceased don and on man
Kind in general, by affecting to dis
cover in one particularly bumptious
chanticleer Of her establishment the
incarnation Of the type of married
man whom Spanish women know most
about, if not the reincarnation of her
own late husband. She wa undoubt-
cdly sarcastic, but whether insane or
not nothing in the incident goes to
show.
Any one who will watch a rooster
cannot fail to be struck with the gro
tesque resemblance he suggests to a
great many married men, and especial.
ly to those who have been married for
some years. His exaggerated self
Importance, his assumption of i'm
measurable superiority of sex, his pat
ronizing ways toward females of every
condition, his unreasoning jealousy of

wear the toga virilis of we'll develop.
ed tuft of tail feathers, his infrmity
OF temper when his supremacy is ques.
toned or his dignity ruffied, his affec-
tation OF rakishness when surrounded
by serious-minded hens, his insuffera-
bic conceit when he flashes his plum
age before the pullets of his social
circle, and his habit of loud and rau-
cous Growing when it suddenly occurs
to him that the sact .hs: he superin-
tends the earth and authorizes the
sunrise may be forgotten if he does
not announce it with offensive empha-
sis arc traits and habits of the rooster
which might recall to d great many
widows who should consider him and
his ways memories Of their late hrs-
bands not wholly consistent with un-
mitigated grief in their bereavement. !
In point Of fact, the rooster dis
plays great deal of human nature in
his walk and conversation, and the
Madrid widow, who, perhaps, never
found the courage to say what she
thought about things during her hus-
bands life, may very we'll have made
testameptary record of her impress
sions, knowing that in no other way
could she give them equal currency or
so efectually record for the benefit Of
posterity her protest against masou-xI
line vanity when it rests upon no bet
ter basis than the accident of sex.

Bishop whipple as a Dentist.

On one of the first of his journeys to
the west one of the Indians came to
Bishop Whipple and said. 'Wi-bid-
akosi' Only tooth is sick. and asked
for relief. Bishop Whipple was unable
to give it and was greatly distressed.
Accordingly. upon his first visit to Chi
cago he went to a friend who was a
dentist and asked to be shown how to
extract teeth. He was told to separate
the ligaments around the tooth, to take
a firm grip and then to pull.
Equipped with an old pair of dem
lists forceps. he went back to his work.
and when. after the service at White
fish lake. an Indian came to him with
his hand to his face and asked for re-
lief the good bishop produced his
forceps and started upon his career as
an unregistered dentist.
The "sick tooth" was large upper
molar. but the bishop never blanched.
Neither did the Indian. With stolid in
difference to the pain the red man sub
mitted to the operation, which. Bishop
Whipple confessed. must have been n
bungling one at best, and the tooth
was finally twisted out. and the bishop
had the satisfaction of hearing the old
chief afterward telling his people,

man!'-Boston Transcript.

KITCHEN HELPS.

To clean a greasy sink little paraffin
oil, rubbed on with piece of flannel,
will save a great deal of trouble.
Ordinary tea marks on china may be
readily dissolved by scrubbing with q
soft brush dipped in salt water and
vinegar.
If new tinware is rubbed over with
fresh lard and thoroughly heated in
the oven before it is used, it will never
rust afterward, no matter how much 1t
is put in water.
A good way to clean zinc utensils Is
to dip piece of cotton In kerosene and
rub the articles with it until the dirt is
removed. Dry afterward with clean
cloth so as to get rid of all grease.
For stained tinware borax produces
the best results. If the teapot or cof-
feepot is discolored on the inside, boil
it in a strong solution of borax for a
short time. and all it's brightness will
return.
Pans and kettles partly filled with
water should not be placed on the
range to soak, as it only makes them
harder to clean. They should be filled
with cold water and be kept away
from the heat.

Didn't Care III He Did.

Over in West Virginia on one of the
railroads is a little town called Sawyer.
Close to the town the train passes
through tunnel. One day a nice look
ing young couple were on the train.
and they never seemed to know that
there was anybody else on the train.
Oblivious to their surroundings they
were like two souls with but single
thought While the train was passing
through the tunnel those near the
young couple heard a succession of sus-
picious smacks something like kiss
with a dozen echoes. After the train
had passed through the tunnel the
brakeman came through the car and
called out. Sawyer" and the timid
looking young man looked up and said:
II don't give durn if you did. We are
married. Bristol Courier.

A self denial no less austere than the
saints is demanded of the scholar. He
must worship truth and forego all
things for that and choose defeat and
pain so that his treasure in thought is
thereby augmented. God offers to ev-
cry mind it's choice between truth and
repose. Take which you please-yOu
can never have both.
Between these as a pendulum man
oscillates. He in whom the love of re-
pose predominates will accept the first
creed. the first philosophy. he meets.
most likely his fathers. He gets rest,
commodity and reputation. but be
shuts the door of truth. He in whom
the love of truth predominates will
keep himself aloof from all mornings
and adoat.
He will abstain from dogmatism and
recognize all the opposite negations be-
tween which as walls his being is
swung. He submits to the inconveni-
ence of suspense and imperfect opin-
ions. but he is a candidate for truth as
the other is not and respects the high
est law of his being.-Emerson's "Es-

Getting the Musical pitch.

Musical pitch llas II curious tendency
to creep up 1t is sad that Bachs Mu-
sic sounds much 8 -erently now from
what it did when ;seh wrote it, be-
cause the instruments lire now pitched
higher. In 1SS. it We, found that the
pitch Of high \ ut the Vienna Court
Opera had crep from the prescribed
49, double vibrations IL second to 443,
and in 1880 this number had further in
creased TO 400.
Accordingly a musical conference
was held and a resolution was taken
to re-eStablish the old pitch of 435 vi
brationS per second. Upon this an
nouncenlent the Reichsanstalt. the i'm
perial physical and technical institute
of Germany. set up standard instru-
ments and has since tested and COR
rected many hundreds of tuning forks,
shortening them If they are too low in
pitch and thinning the arms If they
arc too high.
All the military orchestras of Ger

anStadt keeps the tuning forks correct.

Dirt In Dainty Carpets.

For housewives who pride them
selves upon the spotless floor coverings
The Druggists Circular gives the fol-
lowing recipe for removing spots Of
dirt from carpets:
Make a suds with good white soap
and hot water and add fuller's earth
to this until the consistency of thin
cream. Have plenty of clean drying
cloths. a small scrubbing brush, large
sponge and pail of fresh water. Put
some of the cleaning mixture in a bowl
and dip the brush in it. Brush small
piece of the carpet with this; then
wash with the sponge and cold water.
Dry as much as possible with the
sponge and finally rub with dry cloths.
Continue this till you are sure that all
the carpet is clean; then let 1t dry.
