Carey TruSsell'S Funeral.


The funeral of John Carey Lafay-
cite Trussell took place Tuesday after
noon, November 18th, in Washington,
D. G. He was apprentice, first-class,
United States Navy, in which he had
enlisted April, 1899, ard his term OF
service would have expired November
4, 1908, but he died November 2, at
the naval hospital, Mare Island, Cali
fornia, of walking typhoid fever, after
an illness of about two weeks. Let
tiers received from the hospital nurses
and from his shipmates as to the last
days of his life on earth and as to the
love and esteem in which he was held
were very gratifying as well as com
fortiug to his family. With his hand
clasped in that of one Of these friends,
saying that he was without fear of
death, or the hereafter" with mes
sages of Glove to his mother and all
the rest" he passed into unconscious
ness and few minutes afterwards ne
expired. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev Charles Ghiselin,
Of Shepherdstown, W. Va, former pas
tor of the family, and were held at
Riley's undertaking parlors, End St.
and Pennsylvania Avenue, 5. b.
Twenty-Five or thirty friends from
Washington City and from Jefferson
county, ". Va, were present with
the family at o'clock Tuesday after
noon in the beautiful little chapel,
which was tastefully decorated and
ornamented with handsome palms and
hung with cages Of singing canary
birds. The casket was draped with
the U S. flag and hidden beneath
profusion of exquisite floral designs Of
white roses and chrysanthemums.
The funeral procession passed along
the whole length of Pennsylvania Az
enue and over the Long Bridge into
Virginia and assembled through Fort
Myer into the National Cemetery on
Arlington Heights. At the gate OF
the cemetery the hearse was met by
detachment of soldiers of the United
States Army, detailed from Fort
Myer, who acted as escort to the grave.
After the casket had been lowered and
the burial service said, the salute was
given of volleys of musketry fired over
the grave, and then the bugler, stand
ing at the open grave, sounded taps,
the long, sad last call over the dead,
sounding plaintively and at length
dying away in the distance-the Uni
ted States government thus bestowing
military honors upon the young sea-
man who had died in its service and
laying his body to rest surrounded by
the emblems of national glory on the
lofty heights of historic Arlington
amid grand old forests and above the
ceaseless and solemn flow Of the ma
iest;c Potomac, the fitting earthly
ending to that bright young life, de-
voted to the service of his country,
that has now passed into the eternal
world. c. G.

Paine'sC Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills Of life. The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing a load OF misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to think
Of.
Headaches as a rule, result from dis
ordered condition OF the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss OF sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result. II the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
TEN must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstructant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, tells
OF her release from suffering as follows:-
"I have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for number Of years. About
every week would have bad spell Of sick
headache, but since began using Paine's
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
do not have any more headaches. ! feel
better than have for years"

Beware of 0inments for Catarrh that Con
tain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell, and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such ar
ticles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physicians
as the damage they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufact-
ured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o,
contains no mercury, and is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces OF the system. In
buying Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you
get the genuine. 1t is taken internally
and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J.
Cheney & Co. Testimonials free.
Sold by Druggists, Price 75c, per bottle.
Halls Family Pills are the best.

THAT there are troubles ahead for
the vast army of workmen in the Uni
ted States is apparent by a study of
the news notes of the daily papers.
The Steel Trust has planned system
of retrenchment by which it proposes
to reduce the payroll Of that great
corporation about SIS 900 900 year.
The reduction Of wages will be general
and the cut will be from 10 to 35 per
cent. Notices have been posted in the
cotton mills of Fall River, Mass, that
a general reduction of 10 per cent in
wages will take effect November 23d.
Fully $4,000 operatives will be affect
ed. Following this reduction comes
similar news from Rhode Island, where
$4,000 mill workers are to have their
wages cut 10 per cent In Pittsburg
10000 men have been thrown out Of
by lockout of the Build
ers Exchange League, which is fight
ing the labor unions. At Birmingham,
the rolling mills have been
shut down and 900 men thrown out

wind is blowing from very unfavor-
able direction.

Millennium in 1912.

The statement is made by a promi-
nent divine in the west that the mil
lennium will arrive in the year 1912,
and bases his claim on the prophesies of
the Bible Whether his prophesy is
correct or not, time alone will tell, but
in the meantime we should make the
most out our lives, and the first es-
seutial TO this is good heath. A sickly
person cannot enjoy life because he
lacks the vigor and vitality necessary
for such enjoyment, and consequently
always feels dowu-hearted and depress-
ed. 1t was for such persons that Hos
letter 5 Stomach BitterS was first intro
duced fifty years ago, and many persons
to-day can ascribe their good health to
its use 1t positively cures indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness and
liver and kidney troubles. Don't fail

THE market value of kisses has been
fixed by the Supreme Court of New
York at g 81 apiece. Miss Frances
Petit sued Mr.. Thomas Tittemore, of
Galway, n Y, for breach of promise.
She testified that during their court
ship of fourteen years he had kissed
her 23G times. She wanted $4,000
damages, or at the rate of about $40
a kiss, but the jury awarded her $3,-
900. The Supreme Court confirmed
the verdict and so set the price. Title
more went into bankruptcy.
The report of the case does not show
whether this is a wholesale or a retail
rate, nor does it state anything con-
corning the characteristics of Miss
Petit. II she is an old maid, as we
suspect, we think 81 81 a kiss pretty
dear Indeed, 81 81 each IS enough
for the general run of young women
and buxom widows, though there are
doubtless individual cases that would
be worth more money. 1t is real
mean of Mr.. Tittemore, though, to go
into bankruptcy.

Proverbs
When the butter won't

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
provcrb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk OF pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomaChs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

How sadly We have counted the hours
That measured this SOTrowtul year,
Since we laid meath a mantle OF flowers
Our Will, whom We all love 50 dear.
To the mound where the ivy Is creeping
And the grasses their sad vigil keep
There where our dear Will IS sleeping,
Our spirits oft wander TO weep.
And our hearts are almost broken.
And the parting thus fills us with pain:
But We hold as glorious token
The bright hope to meet him again.
The cup is very bitter.
Pressed to our burning hpS;
The shade Of that sad day
Hath left our lives IN eclipse.
But our hearts are lifted higher,
In the holy hour Of prayer.
And our heaven hath the higher,
And grown exceeding tar.
On the grave We scatter flowers
But one glorious one hath gone
Where no shadows OF death shall darken
The flowers around the throne.
The trial was hard-we'll not complain,
But hope in Christ 10 meet him again
