A sad Death.

L = a-a
Afiee Eastman. Jonep, born Sep
TENDER 18th, 1853, died December
18th, 1905.
Tae subject of the above notice
was the only living child of Hon.
and Mrs. P o Eastman, near town
On November 18th, 1891, she was
married to Mr.. Edward Barto
Jones, of Rappahannock county,
Virginia, and with her husband
continued to reside at the old East
ham homestead, the happy home
of her childhood days. Those who
knew her will heartily join us in
saying that she was a noble, kind
and generous woman, whose heart
could ever be read in her. frank,
smiling face and felt in her loving
hand. The rich and the poor alike
had a firm and steadfast friend in
this quiet, unassuming lady. and
friendships tear of sympathy will
be more to them than mere pass
ing cloud.
Christmas day, 1905, will ever
indeed remain a sad memory to the
father and mother, who have long
since passed the noon of their
allotted lives and whose evening
shadows will be made darker and
sadder from having lost the idol of
their declining days. To Mr..
Jones, the husband, now in the
prime of life, the loss is an irrepar-
able one, and our tenderest sympa-
thy is with him in this sad time,
and feel that they will again be
happily reunited in the Great Be-
.yond s'some summer's morn"
Funeral services will be held at
her late home at II O'Clock Thurs

Laying all jokes aside. what excuse
has an old bachelor for living? Posi-
bly, the better one is that he can't help
it or that il is no fault of his that he
is or that be continues 10 exist. These
observations are mode from the old
maids point of view. which seems &c
be the point from which the Old bach
clor is viewed. There are other view
points from which he appears to better
advantage. particularly at first glance,
but when the halo of sentiment which
lie has gathered around him has been
blown away even these points do not
offer enhancing views. The fact re-
mains, however, that he still exists and
still has natural force enough to de-
velop a halo of sentiment that is more
or less attractive TO the opposite sex,
if not really magnetic, and strong
enough to draw attention to him, and
respectful attention too. The bachelor
ought to know why he is as he is. and
no doubt he does but for some reason
or other he has not been entirely sue
cessful in satisfying the public that his
reasons are good and sufficient 1t is
up to him, therefore, to set public opin-
ion right concerning himself. Pitts

A small town in Posen, near the ST.
lesian frontier, still keeps a night
watchman who blows the l401rs on 8
whistle. The London Telegraph tells
that one night he failed to sound his
whistle.
The burg0maSter summoned the de-
linquent to account for his negligence,
After some hesitation he declared that
his last tooth Lad dropped out and that
he could not hold in his mouth the Off
cial fiat tin whistle.
A council was called, and the sub
feet was gravely discussed. Finally
one of the members said that he he'd
heard of dentist at Breslau who sup.
piled artificial teeth. After long de-
bate the council appropriated money
to send the aged Waterman to Bres-
lau to get set of new teeth.
In due time the Waterman reported
that his teeth had arrived. That night
the burgomaster sat up to hear the
result. TO his astonishment, there was
no whistle at 10, at II or at midnight.
The next morning he summoned the
Waterman.
"You have got your teeth" he said
Indignantly why do you not whistle
as before?"
Eyes, I've got new set of teeth, y
replied the old man, but the doctor
told me to put them in water at night"

For stern bravado, says the United
Service Magazine, it would be hard to
rival the feat of Ensign ellis, who
saw a stray torpedo coming slowly, but
surely, toward the anchored torpedo
boat Porter in the Spanish-American
war. He sprang overheard, turned the
nose of the torpedo in a safer direction
and screwed up the firing pin tightly,
so that it would not operate. Then,
treading water, he saluted Lieutenant
Fremont and reported, Sir have to
report l have captured torpedo"
Bring it on board, sir" commanded
Fremont, and ellis actually did so,

When to exercise is an important
consideration. If the morning only is
available the exercise should be light.
Particularly is this the case if one is
engaged in any work The supply of
energy must not be drawn from at the
beginning of the day. The afternoon
is perhaps the best time for exercise.
when one has gained strength from
the absorption of the morning and
noon meals. Those who exercise vigor-
ously at night should eat a midday
dinner. Exercise should always pre-
cede bathing and not, as a rule, follow
it. In this respect the ancient Greeks
showed great wisdom. Exercise and
bathing they called the two pillars of
strength. Exercise was Hercules and
bathing Apollo. Both were regarded
with equal Importance, and neither
was complete without the other.

Colchester's Thanksgiving Pies.

Many funny stories are told of the
early Thanksgiving days. The town of
Colchester. for instance calmly ignored
the day appointed by the governor and
held its own Thanksgiving a week lat
er. when the sloop from New York
bringing hogshead of molasses for
pies had arrived. In Revolutionary
times Thanksgiving was not forgotten.

Right Living and Good Looks.

Today our great cities show proper
tlonately higher average of dress and
general striving after personal attrac-
tiveneSs among both men and women
than the great cities of any other coun-
try.
Success depends in the largest meas
ure upon health and the personal i'm
preston one makes upon his fellow
men, and properly to develop and TO
maintain the points" that make for
personal G.tractiveness is to develop
and maintain health.
For example. how many men and
women stop drinking and overeat-
ing because fat is fatal to good looks?
The struggle to keep looking young is
a struggle to keep in perfect health.
And what a blessing that is to the
present and all future generations!
The price of good looks is right liv-
ing, and the reward of right living is
health.-Saturday Evening Post.

In the "Retrospects" of Professor

ter by DR.. Maclagan, who attended
Thomas Carlyle during Carlyle's last
years: my personal experience Of Car

that old man fail to rise up to receive
me nor allow me to leave his room
without walking to the door with me

death all the ruggedness and the wrin-

the second class is made up of "the

reverence for all women and silently

So" and the third species lis concerned
only with getting on and making mon

Emerson says It's one OF the secrets
For Dodging Old Age.
Few men know how to take walk.
The qualifications of professor are
endurance. plain clothes, old shoes, an
eye for nature, good humor, vast Curl
Osity, good speech, good silence and
nothing too much. If a man tells me
that he has an intense love of nature, l
know, of course, that he has none.
Good observers have the manners of
trees and animals, their patient good

when words are better than silence.
