The Board Of Managers of the
Ohio Penitentiary recently paroled
ID. Elmer Jones, q prisoner who
was sent from Att ems County one

twenty years for manslaughter.
Jones was former resident OF

and Mrs. Mary Marvin, of Colum-

The funeral was ct the home,
Monday afternoon, where Rev.
Z. b. White conducted the SER
vices. Mrs. Eva Ewers and Miss
Ada Kittsmiller, both of Colum-

The passing of an old man, es
pecially of a good old man, is not
wholly sad event. When one
has seen the rainbow hues and
hopes of youth pale and fade, or
wither in the grasping; has noted
with pain the flowers of promise
that budded and never bloomed,
or having bloomed, brought forth
fruit not half so pleasing in
realization as in pursuit; has
watched the vanishing of com
rades, friends, and loved ompan-
ions; and has known, despite tile
flowing care ID attention and well
come of children, the real loneli-
ness of heart, which only the old
can know-small wonder that he
welcomes the rest thaG 70 lows so
hard upon the close of his vicissi
tudes here, and goes with open
arms to meet the calm foods of a.
future time.
Mr.. Kittsmiller's life was essen
TALLY one of peace. Devoted tc
his family and friends, shy OF
stemming the tide of the worlds
buster highways, deeply conscious
of attunement with the Infinite,
and rejoicing in the consultations
of religion, his mortal path might
be compared with that of the A.
cadian farmers,
"Men whose lives glided on, like
rivers that water the woodlands
Darkened Wit h shadows o
earth, but rejecting an image o
heaven"
And who will sly that thes
quiet lives are not, after all, mos
pleasant to contemplate, and mos

Greek Humor.

When, after Salamis, Xerxes was
in full flight for Asia, and the over
crowded vessel, so the story ran,
was laboring in the storm, Xerxes,
getting frightened, asked the cap
tain whether there was any chance
of safety. None said the captain,
''unless the ship is lightened of
some of its passengers" whereupon
Aerxes, turning to the Persians, ex-
claimed, "Now is the time to show
your loyalty to your king, for on
you my safety depends" And with
out word the well trained courtiers
made obeisance and leaped into the
sea-. Thus unburdened, the ship ar
rived at the land, whereupon Xerxes
presented the captain with a golden
crown for having saved the kings
life and then ordered his head cut off
for having caused the death of so
many noble Persians.

Passing of Aged Citizen.

The death of "Uncle" Peter
Kittsmiller, last Saturday morn
ing at eight o'clock, removed one
of the landmarks of local history
from our midst. Mr.. Kittsmiller
had been i'll for several weeks, hut
his illness was mostly the debility
naturally resulting from his ad-
vanced age. A few days before
his death he suffered a partial
paralysis of the throat, and was
unable to take nourishment. His
end was very peaceful, however,
and his life went out as it had
been lived-like the merging of a
placid stream in the bosom OF
the ocean.
Mr.. Kittsmiller was born Dec.
Is, 1924, near Carroll. Fairfield
County, o., but became a resident
of Hooking while yet young
man, residing near Falls Mill. In
Logan he lived at first on east
Second Street. removing later tc
the property on Front, opposite
the Logan Foundry Co., where he
died, after a continuous occupa
tion of about fifty-tw, years,
Slnce the death of his wife, some
six years ago, his home has beer
with his niece, Mrs. Myrtle Gano
who purchased the property a,
that time, He died at the advan
ced age of eighty-two years.
Mr.. Kittsmiller assisted in the
erection of the first -four mill here
by Mr.. Keynes, father of the
Keynes Brothers, and was employ
ed in that business without inter
mission for forty years. He hat
previously worked in the woolei
mills then operated by Jacol
Tritsch. He retired from active
participation in business abou
nine years ago, and has since beel
a familiar and venerable figure OIL
our streets.

ashes of such as these the poet
wrote:
"Far from the madding crowd 's
ignoble strife,
Their sober wishes never learned
to stray;
Along the cool, sequestered vale
of life
They kept the even tenor of their

duty both to God and man, and

WHAT is A MUMMY 2
A Chapter of Information About Some
Egyptian Customs.

HbyPhiaH SuhtOH1bs
When q member of an Egyptian
family died all the relatives put on
mourning and abstained from baths,
wine and delicacies of all kinds from
forty to sixty days, according to the
rank of the person deceased. Death
in one respect put an end to all dis
tInctions that had prevailed in life,
and king and slave we're subject to
the same law.
The record of the life of the de-
ceased had to be examined bv
tribunal of forty-two Judges before
he could be given burial with his
ancestors. If the deeds of his life
proved that he was worthy of burial
his body was carried across the sa-
cred lake, of which each province
had one, and was there permitted to
rest. If the judges found him un-
worthy, even though he belonged to
the highest rank, he could not be
buried with his ancestors. The body
was returned to his relatives and
was buried on the side of the lake
opposite TO the burial place of the
just.
The belief of the Egyptians in a
future state of existence gave rise
to the practice of embalming the
dead. They wished to carefully pre-
serve the body, so that the soul upon
its return to its former abode at the
end of all things might find it ready
for its reception. Bodies were en-
balmed in three different ways. The
most expensive and magnificent
method was used upon the bodies
Of kings and other persons of dis
tinguishtd rank, the cost amount

a number of persons were en-
ployed i'll The process OF cmbalming,
and they were treated with great re-
spect. They filled the cavities of
the body with myrrh. cinnamon,
spices and many kinds of sweet
smelling drugs.
After a certain time had elapsed
the body was swathed in lawn fl
lets, which were glued together with
kind of thin gum, and then crust
ed over with costly perfumes. By
this mode of embalming the shape
of the body, the lineaments Of the
face, the eyebrows and eyelashes
were preserved in their natural per-
fection. Bodies thus embalmed are
what we now call Egyptian mum
mics.

Ignore Demand of the Miners.

tion--that il, that the greatest
concession they are ready to make
to the miners is the renewal Of the
present scale for one year. IF
President Mitchell and his follow
ers attempt to force the issue fur
ther than that the operators of the
great competitive district will
draw the line, and a general sus-
pension or strike will follow in
the immense bitumlnous region
they represent. Under no circum-
stances will the operators consent
to an advance e or to the proposed
admission of the Southwestern
district to the conference. They
will also ignore the miners de-
mands for the straight runof
mine basis and the seven-ceni
differential between pick and ma
chine mining. The operators are
confident that Mitchell has no
hope of getting an increase and
that when the time comes he will
inform his followers that the
present scale is the best they can
get. The operators, however, are
also convinced that under no cir
cumstunces will Mitchell permit
the miners to accept a reduction.

sources tonight that behind the
