Rheumatism aud its kindred diseases

CLASS ZEAL DISASTROUS
Merrill Holmes Simpson College Stu
dent, Falls Breaking Leg.

Indianola, May 5-Inspired by the
action of previous classmen, whose
daring he tried to equal by endeavor-
ing to place the 1908 class colors on
top of the smoke stack of the college
heating plant, Merrill Holmes, of Des
Moines, son of ex President Holmes,
of Simpson College, fell and broke
his leg. The accident was caused by
the ladder giving way. Before the
fall came, however, Holmes and his
aides succeeded in hanging the colors
on top of the smokestack, the first
time it has been done in years.
Holmes was taken to his home in Des
Moines. Holmes insisted that he be
the first to tell President Shelton OF
the infringement of the college rules.

all things, and in her home she
reigned supreme as the queen of every
heart. Her children fairly worshipp-
ed her and in turn she lavished upon
them an affection that knew no
bounds. She was her husbands dear
est companion and he was her best
friend. Their married life was the
story of a courtship that ended; no,
that shall never end.
Through her children she kept ever
young, she entered, heart and soul
into all their pleasures and all their
tribulations. She made home the
most pleasant place on earth for
them. Not only her own children but
their school mates and companions,
recognized in her kindred spirit and
she was most dearly loved by all the
young people. But Mrs. SERVER did
not confne her self to her home. She
was big-brained woman, woman
of intelligence and education. She
was possessed of that fine sense of
humor, that goes so far to ameliorate
the hardships of life. She was witty
without sarcasm, sociable without
affectation, intellectual without os-
tentations. 1t is no wonder that she
was chief favorite in all our social
circles, and the dearly beloved of all
her neighbors.
But the day before Mrs. SERVER
had attended the meeting of the Pen
elope society, held at the home of her
friend Mrs. j. H. Gable. To the
ladies of the club it will always be a
cherished memory. On that afternoon
she assisted Mrs. Gable with that
kind helpfulness for which she was
noted. The ladies unanimously re-
elected her to the secretaryship of the
club position she had held since
the club was first organized. None
of those present will ever forget her
bright cheerfulness on that day. All
will carry with them through life the

memory of her bright smile, her
pleasant, words and her kindly heart.

memory of her bright smile, her
pleasant words and her kindly heart.
Mr.. and Mrs. SERVER have stood
together for years as representative
of the very best that there is in Den
ison. Each has been helpful to every
honorable and upbuilding thing that
the people of this town have under
taken. The place that Mrs. SERVER
had won in the hearts of young and
old cannot be taken by another. In
this hour of common grief we can
only voice the feelings and the SYM
pathies of the community. We can
only say to the children that we know
how great is their loss, that our hearts
ache for them, that we would gladly
do anything we could to comfort them
or to Tighten their grief. They have
been blessed with one of the best
mothers God ever gave to any child
rem. They are rich in the memory Of
her love and of her goodness. 1t is
heritage that time cannot corrupt.
Sad as the blow has been to them
and to us, we can but feel that death
has been gracious to her.
When we think of the hours of
pain and agony that have been the
lot Of others, when we think of the
unequal fight against disease which
others have been through, when each
minute seemed a year. each hour a
century, we can but feel that hers
was not the unhappiest fate Surrounded
by love and kindness, in the full prime
Of noble womanhood, sure of her place
both in Heaven and on earth, pain

home to the love of her God and her

God help the loved ones. We can
not, for the tears blind our
eyes and words are meaningless.
Hannah Isabella Force SERVER was
born in the historical little town Of
La Collie, Province of Quebec, Can
ada, on February 1st. 1858. She was
one Of seven children, three of whom
are now living. On February 5th,
1884 she was married to William j.
SERVER at La Cole. They removed
to Wausau, Wis, and came to Deni-
son year later, where they have
since resided. Three children were
born to this happy union, Marion,
Stewart and Clara. Her life here as
a noble Christian woman is known to
all.

Mrs. w. j. SERVER was suddenly
stricken with heart failure and fell
to the floor, dead. Her daughter
Clara who was in an adjoining room,
heard her mother fall and ran swiftly
to her. Help was Immediately sum
moned. Mr.. SERVER who was on his
way uptown to his business Office
was notified and physician was in
almost immediate attendance. 1t
seemed incredible that death had come
and every possible effort was made
to bring back the dearly cherished
life, but in vain. 1t is the opinion
of the physician that death was in
stantaneous and came to her almost
painlessly as she fell.
Such is the brief outline OF one of
Denison's saddest deaths. Stewart
was summoned from the play ground
at the school, Miss Marion was noti-
fed by telegram at Cornell college
in Mt. Vernon. Friends and neigh
bors came by the score to offer help
and comfort and to mingle their tears
with those of the loved ones who are
left to mourn. 1t was then that one
realized how vain are the works of
man, how empty are the words of
comfort, how helpless are we all in
the hands of Providence.
Mrs. Servers eulogy is craven
deep in the hearts of all who knew
her. To her family she was all that
wife and mother could be and should
be. To her church she was faithful,
to her friends she was as true as
steel, to the poor she was helpful,
kindly and generous. There is not
person in Denison who does not
feel sense of personal loss in her
death.
TO our mind she was the ideal
American wife and mother She held
her home first and foremost, above

is said that Mr.. Foote is able to make
from the corn pith product the best

been produced. While we should fancy
that it would be somewhat more ex-

more than make up the difference in
convenience and the saving from loss

that Mr.. Foote will receive sufficient

Or Saturday evening more than a
score of old friends and neighbors
called at the home of Mr.. Francis
Gibson, took him fairly by surprise
and insisted in staying to supper and
other wise making merry on account
of his seventieth birthday. Mrs.
Gibson was particeps criminis to the
surprise and the supper she had pre-
pared without her husbands know
ledge was a banquet long to be re-
membered. Mr.. w. w. Rhoden-
baugh acted as spokesman for the
guests in presenting Mr.. Gibson with
handsome chair as reminder of the
unceremonious visit and as token of
esteem and friendship. Mr.. Gibson
responded and in most heart felt
manner expressed his appreciation Of
the gift and of the good wishes of
the givers. 1t must be a source of
pride and qualification to Mr.. Gibson
to know that he has completed his
three score years and ten and that he
is surrounded by many loving friends.
