Dreadful Attack Of W~hooping Cough.

Mrs. Ellen Harrison, of 800 Park
Ave, Kansas City, Mo, writes as fol-
lows: s'Our two children had a sever
attack of whooping cough, one OF them
in the paroxysm of coughing would
often faint and bleed at the nose. We
tried everything we heard of without
getting relief. We then called in our
family doctor who prescribed Foley's
Honey and Tar. With the very first
dose they began to improve and we
feel that it has saved their lives" Re-

Obituary.

Mrs. Caroline M. Cox (nee Edwards)
was born February 26, 1922, in Vir-
ginia; was married to James t. Cox
October IA, 1915; died March %, 1902,
aged 80 years and 81 days.
Sister Cox was one of earth's noble
women. Her character is fifty define
ated in the wise mans description of a
virtuous woman. She was one of the
excellent of earth. Lofty in bearing,
gentle and u~nassumiug, bearing many
marks of high birth and rare culture.
Most of her life on earth was spent in
the church. She joined the church
when quite young and gave her best
life to her Master. Her home was the
home of the preacher, as many of them
of the St. Louis conference will testify.
1t was my privilege to spend c on
ference week in her home thirty years
ago at Arcadia; since that time | have
met her often, and for the last two and
oue-half years have been her pastor,
and can say she was a most excellent
Christian woman. Earth is poorer
and heaven is richer now that she has
gone from us. She died away from
home, but loving hands brought her
~lifeless form back TO her home, and
we buried her from the church she
loved so we'll in hope OF the resurrec-
ton. She leaves several children to
weep over mothers grave. She has
Joined her husband on the other side,
where no night Of death shall ever
come. To the children | would say,
initiate your mothers life and some
sweet day you shall meet her in that
land whose skies are undimmed by
| clouds and sorrow never comes.

At the end of the sixth visit, however,
the father thought the patient well

day saw the doctor arrive, and the
day following. Not wishing to offend
him, the family thereupon bundled up
the boy and went away for a visit.
The doctor could not charge for visit

easy way to escape his attentions and

1t Satisfied Lincoln.

Among Lincoln's callers one morning
in 1862 was q stranger seeking both
personal and official assistance from
the president and who brought with
him some letters lauding his loyalty
that bore the signature of former
governor of Maryland. Lincoln received
the stranger with some warmth that
was not chilled even wnen one of the
attaches, who had overheard the con-
yersation, interrupted to explain that
the signature must have been forged,
for the reason that the Marylander
mentioned had been dead several years.
The stranger showed guilt in every fea-
ture, but Lincoln, suffused with that
pity for the luckless that was ever his,
cheerily observed:
"Oh, never mind that-never mind it,
This is far more interesting. l would
rather get a letter from a dead man
than from live one any dayr'-Phila-

The Pail Mall Gazette says it still
remains mystery how the chief Eng
lish authorities in church and state
ever succeeded in crowning King
George l. Having come fresh from his
native Hanover the first monarch of
the Brunswick dynasty was to his new
subjects little better than a Melanesian
from the south seas. Not a word of
English could he muster, while the
chief officials were almost equally ig-
norant of German. Latin, therefore,
had to be resorted to as being the one
possible medium of communication be-
tween them. A highly popular joke
originated from these singular pro-
ceedings, which stated that an i'm
mcnse amount of bad language had
passed between the king and his min
listers on the great day.

Automobiliousness.

G. J. Green has been making investi-
cations in San Francisco in regard to
automobile service and he says that
the automobile will hum next summer
in spite of the Democrat and the Rec
ord Union. He says contract has
been let for $4,000 to construct two We
hicles to carry twelve passengers each
with booth fore and aft, and storage
room for all the editors of the county.
They will be equipped with three
kinds of power, (besides the editors, J
steam, gasoline, and electricity so that
a breakdown will be impossible. The
machines will meet at Slippery Ford
and travel each way, and it is expected
that the round trip will be made in less
than nine hours.
Charley says he does not care for
any mail contract but will confine his
attention to passenger service and
booming the resorts.
He expects no trouble in regard to
rights on the road, for he says the
courts have decided that an automobile
has quite as much right to travel as a
donkey with pack-saddle on the pub
lie highway.
On the first trip the automobile made
over the Tahoe road, it passed team
conveying the State Highway Com
missioner. There was great commo-
tion but the horses were not seriously
frightened. Shortly afterwards, the
same team took fright at donkey
with a pack-saddle and one of the
horses rolled over into Waterfall Can

The popular terminations of pet
names in earlier times were in, on, ct,
kin, cock and others. Emma. was
shortened to EN-, and for loves sake
1t became Emmott or Emmett. Matilda
was first Til, then Tillot. Bartholomew
was Bart, then Little Bart or Bartlett.
The popularity of these pet names is
seen in the great number of them
which eventually became family
names.
The Tillotsons, the Emmetts and the
Bartletts are numerous in England and
America, although few dream that
their names were originally pet and
not surnames. Before the use of fam
lily names 1t was often necessary to use
the same name was not infrequently
given to two or three children of the
same family. The original of the sur
name Robinson is the pet name of

WORKED HARD FOR THE BILL
Chairman Maxwell Gives Honor to
Whom It Is Due.

As Senator Stewart has been inter
viewed all over the country as to the
part Newlands took in irrigation legis-
lation, Stewart insisting that it was in
significant, we publish a letter recently
written by Mr.. Maxwell, chairman of
the Irrigation Association, well known
for his indefatigable work in advocacy
of the cause of the Arid West:
July 20, 1902, Irrigation Association,
10Y Fisher building, Chicago.
My Dear Mr. Newlands:
| am sending you by this mail some
newspaper clippings which | thought
might interest you.
doubt whether any one else realizes
as we'll as | do how much the great re-
suits achieved for irrigation in this
session of Congress were due to your
personal efforts and influence.
: OF course those who have attended
-zshe sessions of Congress or read the
proceedings know how you have taken
advantage of every opportunity to pre-
sent the arguments in favor of ma
tional irrigation policy 10 your fellow
members in the House of Representa-
tives, but there are very few who know
how much you have done in committee
and in the innumerable conferences
with friends of the measure, and
through your quiet but persistent mis-
sionary effort among the members of
the House personally.
l can hardly see how we could ever
have gotten through with the task if
we had not had the aid of your never
falling patience and cordial courtesy
to wear away the friction points and
finally bring order out of chaos.
| am doubly grateful that the press
of the country, as shown by the clip
pings l send you, recognizes the lead
ing part you have taken in the great
work of creating a new nation in the
now arid region, and gives you credit
for it, Too much credit it is not pos
sible to give to you.
With sincere personal regards be-
lieve me as ever,
Very truly yours,

The selection of beds and the detail
of their equipment, says The Dettned-
tor for September, is one of the most
important items of modern house fur
nishing. The provision for comfort in
sleeping rooms would perhaps receive
more attention if one realized that
fully one-third of lifetime is spent
there. In the course of three-score years
fully twenty, even with only moderate
sleeping, are passed in bed. White
iron bedsteads are SO generally used
now that they may be found even in
the tenement districts, where their
neat, durable and simple construction
means even more than in the homes of
more pretension and wealth. While
the adornment of the bed is of moment,
the foundations Of comfort depend on
the choice of mattresses and springs.
Here the quality should be Of the best
that can be afforded. A first expense
in good materials is likely to be the
last.
