two sons, William aud Gustave, who
reside at home, and three daughters,
Mrs. Fred Voss, of Nebraska, Mrs.
Henry Huss, of Adair, and Mrs.
Henry Hocamp, Jr., of this township.
Two children we're buried in Illinois
and George, aged seven years, who
died here. The children were all
present at his death except Mrs. Voss
who was unable to be present. The
community loses one of its most res
pected residents, the wife, kind
husband and the children, loving and
indulgent father. The family have
the sincere sympathy of all in their
great loss.

WORST CLASS OF BURGLARS
Educated Professionals Are the
Smoothest and Give the Police
Most Trouble.

The chief constable OF Liverpool is
tining the latter-day criminals, and q
prominent criminologist indorses this
view.
Says the chief constable in his an
nual report: "The burglar avoids vio-
lence whenever possible, and chooses
of roguery. Bill Sykes is to be dread
ed less than Raffies, and the latter is
to be found less than the accom-.
plished scoundrel who lays far-reach-
ing plans to swindle a whole commu-
nifty.
Men who so years ago would have
been burglars or highwaymen are to-
day bogus company promoters and
well-dressed swindlers of various
kinds. Their profits are enhanced and
their risks diminished, and have nc
doubt that this Is one of the fruits o.
modern education.
For education, like all other things
has its dark side An inevitable re-
suit OF a little learning is to develop
hypocrisy where the moral training is
not commensurate with the merely in.
tellectual culture.
THE child of to-day, whose ethical
teaching is neglected and who has In
herited criminal instincts, is launched
on society with a better equipment for
career of crime. His education has
made him sharper and fuller of de-
vices, it gives intelligence to his fraud
ulent instincts and widens his radius
of practice.
Criminals of this kind are the most
dangerous to society because they are
the most insidious.
AS the twig is bent so the tree in
clines. Insist on the moral and reli-
goius training of children as we'll as
upon the purely intellectual training
of children"

PRINCIPAL NEWS BUREAU.
Medium of Information in
General,

A talkative and self-important young
court stenographer went with detailed
Judge to one of the feud towns in the
Kentucky mountains to do his part in
holding a term of court.
1t was small place, relates the Satur-
day Evening Post, far from railroad
and the inhabitants were all feudists OF
one clan or another. After day or two
at the little hotel the stenographer said
to the hotel keeper: where's the bar
ber shop?"
Amt no barber shop here" the
boniface replied. I'VE all mostly lets
our hair grow
But can't / get shaved anywhere?'
'Oh. yes, reckon you kin. Uncle Joe
down to the cobbler's shop sometimes
shaves folks"
The stenographer went to Uncle Joe S
and found the cobbler to be mild man
nered old man, with flowing gray whisk-
ers and pale and bsatific blue eye.
Uncle Joe said he could shave him and
he got out a razor and shaving mug
The stenographer sat down on chair
and leaned back. He waited in some
trepidation, but the old man was skill
full and gave him good shave.
1t was necessary for the young man
to talk, so when the barber was on his
throat he said: Good many murders
around here, amt there?"
"Well, suh," the barber said, 1--WE
don't call them murders. Howsomever,
there is some killin's, If that is whas
you mean"
"Oh. WE'LL" said the young man, 81
suppose one names as good as another.
When was the last killing?"
"A man was shot out here In the
square last week"
"Who shot him?"
The barber brought the razor up on
the young mans Adams apple. 81 did" 4"
he said.

Noseblssd.

When the nose is bleeding never
hold it over a basin or hold the
head down in any way This only
causes further rush of blood to the
broken tissues in the nose. The
head should be held up and back,
the flow being caught in handker-
chiefs or cloths. One of the most
effective and simple means of
checking nosebleed is to press on
the upper lip, Near the under sur
face of the lip runs the artery that
supplies the interior nasal passages
where the ruptures occur. If this
is pressed the flow of blood is me-
chanically checked, thus allow ing
the blood around the broken tissues
to CONCEAL and seal up the opening,
II merely pressing with the finger
does not succeed place a wad of pa
per or cloth under the lip and fold
the lip over it, holding it down
tight. Again, If this does not sue

some adrenalin, saturate piece of

The medicine sharps tell us that the

happened to warm wise to me, but a
newly married couple of grip germs took
a notion to build a nest somewhere on
the outskirts of my solar plexus, and two
hours later they had about 2SS children

school would let out for recess would
go up in the air and hit the ceiling with

these grip children had graduated from
school and after tearing down the
schoolhouse the whole bunch had mar
ried and had large families of their own,
and all hands were out padding their
canoes on my alimentary canal.
BY nine o'clock that morning there
must have been S5,000,000 grip germs
armed with self-loading revolvers all
trying to shoot their initials over the
walls of my interior department.
1t was fierce!
When the doctor arrived on the scene
