1t would be difficult. if not impossi-
bic, to estimate the relative frequency
OF names prior to the Norman conquest,
which created something like Il revo-
luton "Nilliam." of course got a
good start rs is shown in 'Doomsday
Book" where stand 6S Williams, 4S
Roberts. IS Walters and 10 Johns. In
1913 Sir William St John and Sir Will
liam t>itZEiamon entertained dinner
party at the court of Henry Ii. The
invitations were limited to knights Of
the name of William, and the company
numbered 120.
But the day of "John" was not long
to tarry, and in 1347 the common coun-
Gil of London contained 30 Johns, II
Williams. Is Thomases, 10 Richards, 8
Roberts, and in 1885 out of 376 names
enrolled in the Guild of ST. George at
Norwich there were 12S Johns, Al Will
liams, Al Thomases. From that day to
this John and William have held their
ground as the commonest baptismal
names in England.

The Lion of St. Mark.

The symbol of the Venetian republic
the famous lion of ST. Marks made
of bronze. There is Il tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds. They are really white, ag>
ates, faceted Its name is most elabo-
rately wrought, and its retracted, gap
ing mouth and its fierce mustaches give
1t an oriental aspect.
The creature as it now stands belongs
to many different epochs, varying from
some date previous to our era down to
this century. 1t is conjectured that it
may have originally formed a part of
the decoration of some Assyrian palace.
ST. Marks lion it certainly was not
originally, for it was made to stand
level upon the ground and had to be
raised up in front to allow the evangel
to be slipped under its fore paws.

for time but it was so slippery he
could not get foothold so had to let
loose of the lines. They ran south
piece then crossed and got on the east
side of the track and went down the
bottom upsetting the wagon and
demolished it up some. They ran
square into the heavy barbed wire
fence east of the bridge which
stopped their wild career, one of
them was considerably strained and
bruised but neither was cut or the
harness broken.

Honored Citizen Dead.

Thomas Oliver, an esteemed respect
ed and an honorable citizen passed
quietly and peacefully to the great be-
yond Tuesday evening March 3, at 10
O'clock surrounded by dearest loved
ones and friends.
The loved departed was born in
Rosschire, Scotland, March 20, 1880.
When but seven years old he departed
from his boyhood home, friends, ASSOC
ciates and the scenes of his youth and
came to this country and settled at
Joliet, Illinois, soon moving to Elmi-
ra, Stark county where he was united
in marriage to Mrs. Jane Turnbull
September 80, 1857. In later years
they moved to Iowa and to Audubon
county in 1887 where he and his fam.
lily lived on the farm in Melville town
ship until about four years ago when
they retired from the farm moving to
Audubon.
In the days of his young manhood
he united with the United Presbyter-
ian church and has always been looked
upon and recognized as one of the
most faithful and consistent members.
Since uniting with the church he has
held the position of Elder and at the
time of his death was the oldest Off
cial member of the board of elders OF
his church.
He was man possessing strong
character, firm in his opinions, deep
and sincere in his convictions, stead
fast in purpose, true and loyal to his
fellowmen, kind and indulgent to his
children etfectionate and true to his
wife and man whose acts were com
mendable, his deeds unquestioned and
charitable and his thoughts pure, high
and noble. Looking back over the
long and useful career of Mr.. Oliver,
one sees a blameless record emblazon-
ed on the record of time and an intlu
ence for good, that will reach far down
the avenue of time.
The funeral will be conducted from
the Presbyterian church today, Thurs
day March 5, 1908, by his pastor Rev.
J. F. Hinkhouse after which the NOR
tai remains will be conducted to the
last resting place in a hallowed spot
in Maple Grove Cemetery.
The overshadowing clouds of today
will break and pass away, the frosts
of winter will change to the mist and
bloom of spring. to the dews and
showers of summer, then golden
autumn, but the spirit of the loved de-
parted will live on in eternal glory
while changes and seasons and NOR
tai man come, fill their wonted sphere
then pass away.
Today true and noble woman
deeply mourns the irreparable loss Of
her life companion, four girls and one
boy are bowed down with grief fol
their father who has been their sup
porter and counselor from childhood
A father, husband, friend and neigh
Dor has gone, but long will his mem
DRY be cherished.

The above statement may read Pro-
sale, but the affair or event that led to
their happy cunsumation of loves
| young dream border on the roseland
of the romantic.
Clad in conventional black and
with none standing beside him but
his young and blushing bride, the
groom responded the 81 Will" with
the same manliness that has marked
his past life. He stands as the en-
bodiment of manly courage and an
enrolling ambition. With an ambi.
ton to be above the plodder he has
mounted the ladder of success by
steady and persistent climbing, allow
ing nothing to deter or discourage
him. As school boy he was rerse-
vering. AS teacher he was persist
ant. AS a man he is honorable.
While teaching to further his educa-
ton he did anything that came to his
hands and did it we'll.
The bride clad in beautiful white
silk that chung to her petite form in
soft folds never looked fairer or purer.
She has grown to womanhood in our
midst and has been the pride of the
town. Everyone loves a character
that does not know the word failure,
but pushes steadily forward, ever
striving toward perfection. She has
always represented this class. Almost
alone she has gone through school I'M
til she now holds first place in the
teaching world.
Both have held their positions in
the schools here with credit to them
selves and the good of the pupils and
will be missed. After the ceremony
was over a beautiful supper was serv-
ed them and all present when they
had gala time.
| Many useful presents were left as a
memory of this the beginning of their
life's journey They left today Thurs
day for Bloomfield, Nebraska, where
they will make their future home.
