Obituary.

Mrs. Agnes, Mckenzie the beloved
wife of Alexander Mckenzie, was born
in Leith near Edinburgh, Scotland,
December 10, 1845, and died at Athena
June 2, 1904, being So years, s months
and % days old. She went to New
Zealand and after a residence there of
two years came to the United States in
1876. In Walla Walla she met Mr.. Nc
Kenzie and they were joined in wedlock
September az, 1876. This union was a
happy one and they resided on their
farm west of Athena until the day
of her death. It was here their children
were born and reared and she had the
satisfaction of seeing them grow up to
manhood and womanhood, living faith
full, consistent lives, making home hap
py. She with her husband joined the
Christian church, of which she was en-
honored member at the time of her
death. The immediate cause of her
death was excessive fright-caused by
the shying of the horse which threw her
husband form the vehicle in which they
were riding. Conscious to the last she
passed to the beyond without pain.
She leaves her three sons and three
daughters the rich inheritance of de-
voted Christian life, the greatest bless
ing mother can bequeath to her child
rem. She was buried from the Christian
church in Athena, June 4th, at II a. M,
the pastor of the church preaching the
sermon. The floral decorations covered
the entire grave, showing the high es-
TEEN in which the deceased was held.
The Masonic lodge, OF which Mr.. Nc
Kenzie is member, attended the fun
eral service to the cemetery in a body.
The bereaved husband and family have
the sympathy Of the entire community.

ATHENA,

Will the future historian be aware
that the people who lived in the twen-
tieth century could writer Yes; he will
find a few letters which the tooth Of
time has not destroyed There will be
the court and probate record, tough and
unfading, thanks to legal safeguards;and
the archeologist will unearth blocks of
granite and tables of brass with letters
cut upon them. There will be no doubt
that those Americans possessed the art
of writing; but the great libraries and
the repositories Of newspapers and mag
azines, to which the historian will look
for the intimate and accurate picture OF
daily life, will contain little more than
piles Of dust, or volumes in which moth
ing is legible, and which crumble at a
touch. This is the fear of the histor-
ian and the Librarian of today. They
know that books and magazines, as well
as the daily papers, are now nearly all
printed on paper made from wood-pulp,
which is very perishable. Fifteen years
is the life allotted to it by some observ-
ers, period probably too short. From
rs to 100 years will doubtless render any
wood-pulp book or newspaper legible, if
not too fragile to handle. 1t is useless to
hope for return Of rag paper. 1t is too
expensive. No one can afford to use
material which costs IL cents a pound
when his competitors use one for which
they pay only Q cents pound. For this
reason efforts have been made to induce
publishers of representative papers to
print limited edition on a more dur
able paper for preservation; but there
are difficulties hard to explain to the
layman, yet evident to those who are
familiar with modern process; and so
nothing has been done. The situation
has its compensations. No one who
picks up modern newspaper and
glances at the array OF crimes, accidents
and unsavory gossip which is displayed
under "scareheads" can fail to see one
of them. Another lies in the possibility
of being able still to purchase good lin
on paper for correspondence or diary.
Those who sympathize deeply with the
future historian must cultivate the lost
art OF letter writing, or walk in the foot
steps Of good old Pepys.

An interesting fact in all great and
riotous uprsings against law and prop
erty is that women so often figure in
them. This quality of leadership has
existed from the time of Joan of Arc to
Mother Jones, and from Judith to Car
rie Nation there has been no lack of
women to assume the initiative and un-
dertake what men we're reluctant to do.
Harriet Beecher Stowe and Julia Ward
Howe had as large part as that Of
many statesmen in beginning and con-
tinuing our civil war. 1t is the coupl-
ing Of a highly emotional nature with
the deep sincerity of natures more stead
fast that makes women so lovable and so
dangerous.

The Duke Of Cambridge has been

ceases at the grave to figure in the pro-
