IA GOOD MOTHER GONE
The Wife Of the Extra Methodist
Preacher Falls Asleep at Her
Home Near North Branch.

Sarah A. Biddlecomb was born in
England in 1850 and came to Amer
lea with her fathers family in 1866,
locating at Port Huron Michigan,
She was united to Andrew Dove in
marriage on December 9, 1868, and
eight children were born to this
union: Walter G. Dove, Mrs. Eta

rem were all with her during her
last sickness, Edwin coming to see
her few weeks before her death
which occurred at her home in
North Branch on August %, 1906.
She moved with her husband to
Kansas in 1878; lived there three
years; moved to Guthrie county,
Iowa, in 1881, and lived in the west
ern part of that county ever since.
She leaves husband, an aged faith.
er, eight children and nineteen
grandchildren to mourn her loss
but sustained aud strengthened by
divine love, with an unfaltering
faith of happy reunion with their
loved and departed ones when they,
too, are called hence. The last few
months of her life were full of suff-
ering which she bore with q sweet;
brave and patient spirit, but she
grew 80 weary of physical pain that
she longed and prayed to go; her
prayer was answered and the doors
or her heavenly home we're opened
to welcome her in. Her funeral was
held at Bowman Chapel, the little
country church where she had wor-
shipped for 80 many years Rev.
Aten, her pastor, conducting the
funeral services on Friday and the
frail body was laid to rest in the
Bowman Cemetery. A large con-
course of people were present to
pay a last tribute of respect to one
whose life has ever been an exam
pie of pure and simple piety.
| Blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord from henceforth;y yea saith
the spirit, that they may rest from
their labors. and their works do
follow them" Faithful unto death
a crown of life has been given unto
her. She will be sorely missed in
the family circle; she will be miss
fed in the church, where she had
been regular attendant and active
member until the last few month";
of her life; che will DE missed by
many friends, but our loss is her
gain.
Beyond the parting and the pain,
Beyond the signing and the tears,
Oh. beautiful; to be with God
Thro' all the blessed, endless years
To see His face; to hear His voice.
To know Him better day by day,
And love Him as the flowers love light,
And serve Him as immortals may"

VarlOus Causes That Bring About an
Attack of Vertigo.
Dizziness, or vertigo-scientific writ
ers sometimes try to distinguish in
sense between these two words, but
practically, in popular usage, they
mean the same thing-is disturbance

sation persists even when the eyes are
closed. There is more or less inability
to walk straight or even to stand still,
and often there is nausea, followed by
vomiting.
Vertigo is due to disturbance,

part of the brain or in the semicircu-
lar canals in the ear, in which the ter.
limitations Of the nerves coming from

reflex trouble due to some impression
which gets shunted off its own route,

Vertigo is q common symptom of dis.

treat the indigestion or constipation.
Another more serious variety of dir

THE ONION PATCH.

Experience with onion raising COW
ering several years leads to the belief
that the most economical as we'll as
the most satisfactory preparation of
land for the crop consists in summer
following of the piece of land to be
used the season before one wishes to
raise the onion crop. This should con-
sist of successive plowings and disking,
which will result in bringing to the
surface. terminating and killing just
as much Of the weed seed In the soil
of wedding coupled with the satisfac.
ton of having the crop in clean con-
dition will pay for the rental of the
land three times over. A fine clover
meadow which was remarkably free
from weeds last season and the second
crop on which was plowed under last
September now shows no end of pigeon
grass, which must have lain dormant
through last year, the presence of
which will very largely increase the
cost of wedding. If the piece of land
selected for the onion patch is not
known to be reasonably free from
weed seeds the plan Of summer fallowr
Ing will be found by far the most sat

HIRAM, KING oF'TYRE.
The phoenician Monarch and His Ef-
fort to Initiate the Deity.

Hiram, the Phoenician monarch,
strove to initiate God by erecting four
mighty pillars upon which he caused
seven heavens-apartment be built.
The first was constructed of glass, 500
by 500 yards, storing therein mock i'm
ages of the sun, moon and stars. The
second compartment of iron, 1000 by
1000 yards, was the receptacle of pre-
cious stones, causing terrific noise
resembling thunder when they crashed
against each other and the easement OF
the Enclosure. The third chamber was
of lead, 1900 by 1900 yards. The
fourth was of tin, 1000 by 1000 yards.
The fifth was of copper, $500 by $500
yards. The sixth was of silver, 5000
by 5000 yards. The seventh was of
gold, $500 by $500 yards, containing
precious stones, pearls and magniti-
cent throne. a channel of water sep
arated the apartments.
Hiram, initiating the royal splendor
of the court of King Solomon, sur
rounded himself by the grandest con-
ceivable display of magnificence. In
the seventh apartment was stationed n
golden bed, the corners Of which were
set in pearls without value in all the
world, sparkling forth beautiful flashes
resembling lightning, which spread
wonder and terror among his subjects
The prophet Ezekiel was ordered to
appear before Hiram. who, at loss
as to how to reach the seven heavens
wherein the monarch presided, was
transported into his castle by the locks
of his hair. Upon perceiving the di-
vine messenger Hiram trembled. "Who
art thou?" Numbered the indignant har.
binger of future events. "Why dost
thou boast? Art thou not born of wo
mans womb?"
II am" replied Hiram, "but 1 live
forever. Like God dwelling over wa.
tiers, dwell 1. Like him reigning over
seven heavens, l rule in seven apart
ments. AS God is surrounded by light
ming and thunder, SO am I. God has
stars in heaven; so have 1. Many SOW

THE BOY I'M yAcAr1oN.


The boy is much the same PROPOSE
ton whether he lives in town or coun-
try-eager, restless, inquisitive, anx-
ious to be at something, as rule tired
of books, and rightly SO at the close of
the school year, and you have him on
your hands this summer. What to do
with him and how to keep him en-
ployed so as to have him somewhat
more strong and rugged, with habits
of industry more firmly fixed and
possessing better sense Of his respon-
sibility as social and economic factor,
is the problem before you. The play
instinct is satisfied in the few days
following the close of school, and if
he is normal he will be wanting to go
to work and earn some money. While
the legal right exists Of taking all the
money he can earn in return for the
expense of his keep during the remain
der OF the year it is seldom wise to
carry it out to the letter. Let the boy
have enough to spend for the satisfac-
ton of his boys needs and encourage
the starting of a bank account. 1t will
not need to be large before he will
feel real interest in it and will want
to increase it in every way that he can.
If during the present summer there are
brought home to the boy or girl lessons
of industry and saving, it will in the
long run prove as helpful as any lesson
got from books. In general way 1t
may be said that boys, like animals,
respond to considerate treatment. This
is their due and will also bring the
largest measure of satisfaction to both
parent and child.
