than it is for the smaller creameries who

much larger score and the outcome was
a disappointment to the football en-

rather stiff proposition and were not
able to score more than one touchdown

In the second half Alma kicked to
Mt. Pleasant. The Normals were held
for downs and Carr got away for the
second touchdown. The goal was
kicked making the score 12 TO 6. On
the next kickoff the Normalites pushed
the ball to within 3 yards of Alma's
goal. Here the college made brave

DIED INSTANTLY IN
HER HUSBANDS 5 ARMS
Highly Respected Lady Taken From
Friends and Loved Ones-Funeral
Held Friday at M. E. Church.

Mrs. Samuel ID. Evans died suddenly
of heart failure Tuesday noon while on
the witness stand in Justice Spinneys
court. She was about TO answer "a query
by Attorney j. G.. Kress when her head
suddenly dropped forward. a paleness
came over her face, and her limp form
fell into the arms of her husband, who
noticed her condition and was quickly
by her side. Medical assistance was
hastily summoned and four doctors
responded, but she had expired instantly.
Mrs. Evans had been in i'll health for
some time, and had remarked only a
few days previous that she felt her time
here was short, but her death came so
suddenly and with so little warning
that the shock to her family and friends
is a severe one. There was an entire
absence of excitement or sentiment i'll
the court room, as the question at law
was trifiing one, and no direct cause
can be attributed for her death other
than the frail grasp ON the thread of life
which those unfortunate ones have who
are afflicted with that dreaded disease.
One of her sisters was taken just as
suddenly, and a brother died with the
same disease while kneeling in prayer.
Elizabeth Wilson was born in Innisfill,
Canada. May 4, 1854, being the youngest
of family of fourteen children. At the
age of sixteen she was married to Samuel
ID. Evans at the home of her parents in
Innisfill, on November 10, 1870, where
they lived for seven years. Mr.. and
Mrs. Evans came to Michigan % years
ago. and in August, 1902, moved to their
present home in Alma. Five children |
were born to them, three of whom sur
vive their mother, they being Mrs. AN
Bemis, of Sdsanbery, Mich; Miss Tessa |
Evans who is a teacher in the high |
school at Crystal Falls, Mich. and Miss
Lulu Evans who lives with her parents. |
The deceased also leaves two sisters who
reside in Canada and two brothers in
Pittsburg. Pa. Mrs. Evans has been
of the M. E church for 20 years
and has always been an active worker,
leading an exemplary christian life.
The funeral will be held this afternoon
at 80 O'Clock in the Methodist church,
conducted by Rev. G. K. Hoag, and
interment will take place in Riverside
One of their children, Mrs.
A. n. Bemis is very i'll and unable to be
here, but Miss Tessa Evans arrived from
Crystal Falls yesterday. Also a sister of
Mr.. Evans, Mrs. j. Doan, of Buffalo,
and brother, VIM Evans, of Bayfield,,
canada, are here.
A sad incident in connection with
Mrs. Evans death is that today is their
'hirty-fifth wedding anniversary and
he day had been spoken of and looked
forward TO as the passing of another
milestone on the road of their happy
welded life.

The Egyptians had four separate and
distinct styles or forms OF writing-the
hieroglyphic. the hieratic. the enchorial
and the Coptic. The hieroglyphic was
probably in use as early as the year
1000 b. G. and at first was made up
entirely of pictures. About the year
1000 b. G. the hieratic form or style
was introduced. In this the picture
hieroglyphics were greatly simplified,
finally developing into forms purely
linear. The enchorial form OF writing
was in use among the Egyptians from
about the year 700 b. G. until about
the year 200 A. ID. and was sthl a
further simplification of the earlier
forms, which finally developed into the
alphabetic form known as the Coptic.
