John S. Hanley.

The subject of this sketch is one
of Mason county's worthy farmers,
and citizen of high esteem.
/ AS farmer he stood in the front
rank. and all business men along
the Ohio valley knew him to be q
straightforward business man; but
tor a few years past his health has
been failing and on the 24th of
June. 1902, he needed the call of
the death angel and surrendered
himself to the will of God and
vent to meet his only SON who he
50 much regretted to give up.
Now that the husband and father
Is dead. let us draw nearer. The
writer of this sketch has known
Mr. Henly since 1884. Four years
OF that time l was pastor of the
church in Mercer's Bottom, and
often visited his home. where I
formed an acquaintance with his
family which consisted of the wife,
one son and two daughters, John,
Mary and Emma, in whom Mr..
Hanly was very much interested,
and devoted.
wish to say that while it was
my privilege to attend the funeral
of his son Johnny in last Febru-
ary, and after his burial 1 called
upon Mr.. Hanly,, and in talking
with him he said it was hard to
give the son up. L advised him to
place his trust in God and prepare
to meet this beloved son, which I
understand he did, and which was
great comfort to himself and his
family.
1t may be we'll to remember that
death influences our human lot
only as an intellectual notion.
There is nothing in it which strikes
back upon the fibre and substance
of our existence. 1t is not like a
blot of ink fallen in an open book
that it should stain the previous
pages closed carelessly upon it; it
bears on the future alone. If we
could and would keep it out of
mind it would not render us un-
happy. The animals all around
us die just as we do, but they give
no evidences of being affected by
the melancholy prospect A lamb
goes dumb to the slaughter be-
cause it has no sensense of appre-
hension. 1t is our idea of death
which brings us our horror. The
imagination invests it with it's
dreadful gloom.
The Romans had thirty epithets
for death, and all of them were full
of deepest detection. 1.-THE Iron
Slumberer." "The Eternal Night, .
The Mower with his Scythe, +"
The Hunter With His Snsres,
"The Demon Bearing the Cup of
Poison" The Merciless Destroy
ing Angel" "The Inexorable Jailer
With the Keys" "The King of
Terrors Treading Down Empires.
Some of them were these, the Bit
terness of which is indescribable.

8. Women whose lachrymal
glands are too sensitive and do not
know that tears make women ugly
and anger perfectly hideous.
9. Women whose laughter is not
hearty, but forced. The easiest
way of judging the character of
people is to observe their laughter,
because laughing cannot be stud

laughter reveals itself as an open
book.

consciousness, and not fit for mat

those never open to conviction OF

him to going out shopping or call
ing with their mothers. Fathers
girls make the best wives. So do
girls fond of mems society.
16. Women whose nerves are
irritable and who cannot stand the
smell of cigarette in the house.
Rather marry one who can smoke
one, at all events. and who invites
you to smoke and quickly goes for
the matches to offer you light.
II. Women who have sweeter

decision OF the Kinds county chancery
court in the celebrated back tax suit
against the Illinois Central road wherein

ever handed down by the court and its
reading by Special Justice Cayce con-
sunled oilc and one-half hours. The
Judgment is clean victory for the rev.
enue agent, both on the law and the
facts. and the case will be Immediately
carried to the United States Supreme
