Ms. William Flsea.
Mrs. l'agen was Mary Nc
Cnne, daughter OF Michael
McCune and wife. She was
born in Dubuque, Ia, and came
mere with her husband in 1875:
To them we've born ten chill
dren, of whom eight are now
living, as follows: Mrs. Chris
Juel, Mrs. Chas. Colfman, Sadie
Sylvester, Winnie, Michael,
John and Gertrude, ali residing
at horne or near here. and Mrs.
3. j. Fagen, of Arcadia, Neb.
The bereaved family mourn
the loss of a kind, loving
mother and faithful wife. Mrs.
Fagen was noted for the pos
session in an unusual measure
OF those womanly qualities that
made her name a synonym for
all that was good and kindly
and noble and true in the home
and family circle and the vice
|acquaintances which she en-
joyed while living here in
health and happiness. Her
health had been failing for
some time and all was done
that loving hands could do, but
death has claimed it's own.
Patiently she bore her sorrows
and smilingly awaited the end
with a fortitude only the pure
in heart ever know. The silence
of the receding world to her
meant surcease from suffering,
and there was no darkness
there to her all believing faith
in the kindness of her Heav-
emily Father, who for her had
cone all things we'll.

ladders a Mile Long.

Theodore Waters, describing in Ev.
erybody's Magazine the deepest copper
mine in the world, writes:
Under the law it is necessary to
maintain ladders in all mines, however
deep, so that In case of accident to the
hoisting machinery the miners may be
able to climb up.
These ladders, in a mine a mile
deep, were distinctly awesome. The
shaft was covered, but the trapdoor
was removed 50 that could peer down
the hole. The first few rungs quickly
succeeded one another into darkness
but a moving light far below showed
that they continued on down below
the limit Of vision. The light came
from a lamp in the hat of a workman
probably making repairs, but whether
1t was 100 or 1000 feet down was i'm
possible to determine. 1t was not ex-
actly a reassuring sight. The idea that
the man was climbing a ladder a mile
high, and the possibility of his encoun-
tering loose rungs in the darkness, in
vited my perturbed comment
"'Oh, that Is nothing, remarked a
workman. 1T is not one ladder, but a
succession of ladders, and there are
plenty oflevels to rest upon. Why,
the roller boys in the incline shifts
often slide down the cables to save
time"

WORKMAN WHO CHEATS.
Drtbble He Represents in a Business Ia
Worse Than "a Wide Leak.

| Worse Than "a Wide Leak,
An employer of thousands of men
was asked what thing in all his large
| operations gave him the most concern.
The man who does a little less than
Is expected of him." was the reply.
He is the dangerous factor in all bust
ness. The absolute failure we readi-
ly discover and discharge, but the
'almosts' escape detection for months
and often for years, and they make
our losses as well as our fears" and
with very serious smile he added
THE drip in business is worse than
the leak"
1t is a condition that is as old as
human experience. Eighteen and a
half centuries ago Seneca put it in
these words: Some portion of our
time Is taken from us by force; an
other portion is stolen from us; and
another slips away. But the most dis
graceful loss is that which arises from
our own negligence: and if thou wilt
seriously observe thou shalt perceive
that great part of life fits from
those who do evil, a greater from
those who do nothing, and the whole
! from those who do not accomplish the
| business which they think they are do
! ing"
Thousands of men fancy they are
| fulfilling their duty to their employ
ers and to :neir tasks by keeping hours
and performing just enough to hold on
to their positions. They have an idea
that to do more would be to give larger
service than their compensation re-
quired. They object to what they be-
lieve would be extra values. The old
man sha'n't get more than he is paying
for" is the vernacuar
Possibly it never strikes these trim
mers that in cheating their work they
are doing double damage they are in
| juring their employers much, but they
are robbing themselves more; they are
| in fact losing everything in life that
is worth while. They fare worse than
If they did nothing at ALL for time
with all its precious values slips en-

GOLDENROD.

When the wayside tangles blaze
In the low September sun,
When the flowers of summer days
Droop and wither one by one.
Reaching up through bush and brier,
Sumptuous brow and heart of fire,
Flaunting high it's wind-rocked plume
Brave with wealth of native bloom
Goldenrod,
In the pastures rude embrace.
All o'errun WIKI tangled vines,
Where the thistle claims its place,
And the struggling hedge confines,
Bearing still the sweet impress
OF unfettered loveliness,
In the field and by the wall,
Binding. clasping. browning all
Goldenrod!
Nature lies disheveled, pale,
With her feverish lips apart
Day by day the pulses fail,
Nearer to her bounding heart;
Yet that slackened grasp doth hold
Store of pure and genuine gold;
Quick thou contest. strong and free,
Type of all the wealth to be
Goldenrod!

"But-but there's brother Reubcn's

Amaranth's eyes flashed scornfully
at him as she drew herself up with
offended dignity.
Brother Reuben's children shall
never go 10 the asylum while | live"
she declared Indignantly.
After a few more words their troth
was broken. Sylvester stalked moodily
on his way, while Amaranth, with a
pang of sore disappointment at her
heart, turned toward the gray stone
farmhouse, where she earned a small
stipend over her board by doing the
Homework for a family Of six.
The broken engagement offered
fresh food for gossip among the
Brooke and Stubblefeld kith and kin.
but Amaranth was not to be turned
from her course by their outspokcn
cenSures and criticisms.
The old homestead was bought and
paid for. TO be sure the soil was
rocky and sterile and the dwelling in
need of repairs.
The orchard trees-what were left
of them-were gnarled and bent, and
the fences and outbuildings in sad
state of dilapidation.
1t was really scarcely worth the
small sum asked for 1t, but Amaranth
had determined to buy it, and buy it
she did.
An ancient COW and a half-decrepit
pony were included in the sale.
And after the house had been treat
ed to a few repairs and thorough
cleaning, brother Reuben's family
were released from their uncongenlni
quarters in the city and comfortably
installed therein.

the children grew as round as butter
balls, romping under the gnarly old
apple trees or playing hide-and seek
among the tall sunfowers and holly
hooks that nodded In the dooryard.
Later on, Amaranth earned a few
dollars each week by the sale OF her

Sylvester Smedley took particular
pleasure in driving past the house,
with Nancy Maria Stubblefeld, to
whom he had transferred his atten,
tons, seated beside him in his spring
buggy.
But no one offered a helping hand,
and Amaranth was beginning to feel
a tremor of despair when something
happened which no one-certainly not
Amaranth--had ever dreamed would
com to pass.
1t was nothing more nor less than
the building of a branch railway from
the ozark lead and zinc" mines to
point on the Mississippi River some
twelve miles beyond Pineyville Centre.
The nearest route, according to sur
vey, lay directly across one side OF
Amaranth's estate and she readily ac-
copied the offer of 5000 from the min
ng company for this small portion of
her worn out" farm land.
But the tide of prosperity did not
stop here
Roger Allen, the young surveyor,
who had laid out the new railroad
suggested Pineyyille Centre as the
most convenient point for the smelling
works to be erected by the mining
company.
And so the sleepy little village
walked up one fine morning to find it
self in the midst of most unexpected
| boom"
Amaranth, though offered high
| price, refused to part with her prop
erty on any terms. BY the advice of
the young surveyor, however, she was
induced to lay out portion of her
farm, fronting the railroad, in town
lots, which were eagerly purchased
at satisfactory valuation, and the
Brooke addition" soon ranked as the
most desirable residence portion OF
Pineyville Centre.
And Amaranth found herself, II not
wealthy, at least comfortably situated.
A stout hired farm hand attended to
the farm work now. The WORKOUT
meadows and cornfields were redeem
ed from their impoverished condition.
The Anticipated cow was supplanted
by a small herd OF Jerseys The dc.
crepit horse was 'pensioned off" on
the latest of pastures, while a span
of matched bays" drew the new car
ryall when Amaranth or Mrs. Reuben
and her children took an airing.
The discounted relatives, who had
all but boycotted Amaranth in the
dark days, now discovered that "blood
was thicker than water" and fastened
TO make friendly overtures.
And Sylvester Smalley, who had not
yet succeeded in building on the pater-
nal forty acres, abruptly ceased his at.
tentions to Nancy Maria, and cast
longing eyes toward the thrifty corn
fields and we'll filled barns of the old
| homestead.
Long since had he repented of his
short-sightedness, and after some skill
full maneuyering he one day succeeded

CO ROUBLE began for Amaranth
Brooke when she decided to buy
back the ramshackle old family
homestead with the few hundred dol
lars that had been left to her by a
distant relative. But there were her
brothers wife and children to provide
a home for, and when Amaranth made
UP her mind she cared very little
whether people approved of her plans
OF not.
She did care, however, what Sylves-
ter Smalley would think OF the matter.
for since she was engaged TO him it
would be only right to tell him what
she meant to do.
Amaranth had been looking over her
prospective purchase and was on her
way home, when he overlook her and
at once preached the subject.
