JOANNA RICHARDS CURNOW

JOANNA RICHARDS CURNOW
was born at Wyota, Lafayette coun-
ty, Jan. 18th, 1912. Two years later
her parents removed to the town of
Dexter, Green county, where she
grew to womanhood. She was mar
ried May 10, 1856 to Edward Curnow
They established their home in Min
eral Point, at once, and here our sis
ter resided, respected and loved by
all, until she was called to a better
world. Sister CurnOw was the mother
of six children, four of whom survive
namely, Eva, Edward R., Hattie and
Pearl. She leaves to mourn also
four brothers and two sisters, all
these together with her devoted hus-
band have the sympathy Of large
circle of friends in the church and
the community. With a multitude
there is a keen sense of personal loss
in the passing of this good woman.
Mrs. Curnow was converted when
about twenty years of age. Her ex-
perience was very clear and very
happy. 1t marked the beginning of
Christian life characterized by an
abiding trust, a growing love for
Christ and his church, a beautiful
embodiment of the gentler graces,
such as meekness, gentleness and
humility, an influence upon others
for good limited only by the bounds
of her acquaintanceship. She united
with the Methodist Episcopal church
in Mineral Point, June /, 1877, and
September 1894 was appointed lead
er of the class meeting at noon on
Sundays. During all these years she
has served the church with a devo-
ton second only to that which she
gave to her own home, For several
years past she was in feeble health,
in consequence of an attack of Ia
grippe from which she never re-
covered, but she could not be kept
from the house of worship, often at
tending the services of the church
when unable to get ready to go with
out the assistance of her family.
The immediate cause of Mrs. Cur
nOw's death was blood-poisoning,
which started from mere scratch
on the hand. The end came at ten
minutes past three on the morning
Thursday, April 3, 1901. During the
ten days of her final sickness she
was patience itself. Never a COM
plant or a murmur was heard to
pass her lips. The life of prayer and
communion with God which she had
led so long, did not end until life
went out. During the last day and
half she was almost constantly in
prayer. Thus she left this world
where we walk by faith, to enter tri-
umphant, the life of perfect realiza-
ton, where we know as we are
known.
The funeral on Saturday morning
consisted of the Methodist church
services at the home, with appropri-
ate and impressive remarks by Pas
tor Tomlinson on the life and char
cter of the deceased, and the con-
ISOLATION to be drawn therefrcm to
the living. Interment was in Grace
land cemetery. *x*

John HabbertOn, the author Of
'Helen's Babies" said to his publish
CT, when the novel was about ready
to appear: IF you want to save the
cost of a great deal of advertising just
give me 500 copies of this book and
I'll guarantee to distribute them so
that We'll have success without a
cents worth of advertising being
needed" The publisher. little reluct-
antly, took Mr.. HabbertOn at his word.
The author thereupOn made a list of
all the important bookstores i'll the
United States, and found out the name
of the head of the department of tc-
ton in each store. Now, the heads OF
all book departments are all tends III
the collection of autograph first edl-
tions-that is. with the authors sigma
tUre upon the imprint There is
scarcely an exception to this rule. MI.
HabbertOn, being wise in all that con-
Germs bookstores, accordingly sent to
each head n copy of "Helen's Babies
that contained not only his autograph,
but a pleasant letter also that eXpatl'
ated on the merit of the work. The
heads were delighted. They instruct
ed their statesmen and salesWOmen TO
boom "Helen's Babies" to recommend
it to every hesitating customer. Ana
thus the book succeeded, though 1t
would have succeeded, anyway, upon
it's merit-Philadelph Record.

ed up and brought in. One morning
he was at the telephone in his office,
apparently having trouble Of his own
trying to communicate with some
body:
"What? Speak up! Can't under
stand word! Say, give me that all
over again, please"
Then he turned to those about him
and said:
'I'H bet the wires are crossed again.
This telephone service is getting worse
and worse"
Another fruitless effort, and then a
sudden light broke in upon him:
"WelI, that's the limit! Do you
know what's the matter with the wire?
The fellow at the other end that's
trying to talk to me shutters. New
