OBITUARY.

II is with sad heart that we pen

was sad hour to us, but oh how
1T is finished; come up higher.
Aunt Margaret was born April ID,
1888, and departed this life Aug. 12,
1907 She was "a years and 4 months
old at the time of her death She was
the oldest child of family Of twelve
children, of whom only four are living.
Aunt Margaret lived long and lone
" life, but thanks be to God, she is
now where she can enjoy a greater
blessing than she ever did enjoy here.
She professed faith in Christ when on
~ "A years old and lived and died in
the same faith. She was member of
the Baptist Church. Aunt Margaret
was good old lady. Everybody that
knew her loved her. She was good
and kind to all, even little children
knew her to love her. Aunt Margaret
was good christian, commanding at
all times the respect of everyone who
knew her Only short time before
her death she gave evidence to all that
she was only going home TO live with
God. She at all times was faithful IN
the Performance of her christian duty,
but God, in His wisdom, knew best
and took her to his church triumphant.
We, her friends, bow submissively
to thy will, Oh, Lord, and say, The
Lord gave and the Lord hath taken
away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
Oh, may we all be ready to answer the
roll call when we are summoned to APP
pear before God, and may we so live
in this life that death will not have
any terrors for us when we are called
to meet our blessed Master May we
all live so that when this life is over
we may meet this good christian and
many other dear friends in the home
of the good. Aunt Margaret is gone,
but not forgotten gone home, yes,
gone home where there is no sorrow
nor trouble. MRS. G. c. HOUTS.

Those who have stomach trouble, no
matter how slight, should give every
possible help to the digestive organs,
so that the food may be digested with
the least effort. This may be done by
taking something that contains natural
digestive properties like
Kodol or Indigestion and Dyspepsia.
Kodol is preparation of vegetable
acids and contains the very same iuic-

 The meeting having ended, the La dies left the Building very quietly and Alice started homeward.
 It was the hour for the Rush. but there was not crowding in the Cars. as the Company had put on many Extras In order to insure Comfort for their Patrons.
 Alice bought an Evening Paper and read 1t. She did not find anything about the President being clinohed with somebody.
 Hubby arrived home from the Ofioe exactly at o'clock, although some Men had tried to detain him at the Club.
 He reported everything satisfactory at the Office--nothing had happened all day to give him a moments worry. Alice reminded him that they were going out to Dinner. He had not for gotten about the Engagement: in. fact. he was very enthusiastic over the prospect. He said he loved to come out to Dinner. st Alice offered to lay out his Things for him and put the Studs in his Shirt. But he said no--he knew just where everythong was. and 1t was really, q Pleasure to get ready.
 Alice and Hubby came down all dressed at exactly the same Moment and each praised the other for promp' titude
 Hubby noticed that Alice wore her new Gown. He admired it very much

sra the, Ads of the Beauty Doctors.
 Never again will Alice keep on two- stepping until rosy light suffuses the eastern Sky. Once she was Queen of the Coterie known as the Young Mar ried People. which for Speed and En- duranee makes the Kid-Set look like a bunch of disabled Cutters
 Now she Is wearing a Blanket and lets new Generation of Recent Brides do the Searching.
 AIice.s notion of good, lively Elm ployment at the present Moment is to be Patroness of something. She is keenly interested in all Charitable En- terprises that will keep her name in the nosey old Newspapers at the top of the Column and next to Pure Read ing Matter.
 Years ago she discovered that in or- der to enjoy all the up-to-date Priyi- leges of her Sex and acquire the fullest Liberty she would have to be Mar rted Woman.
 Many friends gave her the rip that {. Matrirnony was advisable, the same as being Vaccinated. Accordingly she did, and now she has a Home of her own, a Rope of Pearls. an Angora Cat, a portable Vapor Bath, a private Brougham and couple of Children.
 One morning not long ago, when Alice arose feeling that she did not need a Facial Massage and about a peck of Promo, she knew at once that during the Night she had been trans ported to the Real of the Impossible.
 Sure enough, when she aroused the other Half of the Sketch and told him that it was not yet Breakfast Time. = but possibly he would like te get up, Nj he did not draw the Bed-Ciothes over ais head and humble and Cuss. but

bounded cheeriiy out into the middle of the floor and went to his Ablutions whistling biithesome tune.
 The children piled out long before any one went to call them and were quietly seated in the Library. intent upon their School Lessons.
 At breakfast Hubby did not read his Newspaper and ignore the remain der of the Family Circle, He said the Coffee was excellent, and not once during the meal did he poke at any thing on his plate and want to know what in Thunder 1t was.
 After breakfast he kissed his wife on the Cheek, instead of missing her

He could not understand how she had managed to get such Corker for a comparatively Small Sum of Money.
 At the Dinner Alice found herself next to a Nice Young Man who was highly Conversational without being Gabby.
 Several times she requested Hubby to tell the Company some of his Fun ny Stories, and each time he told one she laughed heartily and said it was New.
 After dinner the Men refused to loiter around the table and Smoke. as they wished to be in the Front Room with the Ladies.
 Inasmuch as Alice and some of her Friends were going to the Theatre. they hurried away, because they did not think 1t Good Form to enter a Play House after the Curtain had gone up, lest they might disturb some who wanted to see the whole Show.
 They sat in the Box all eveninl l. out convers;ng aloud.
 In looking over the assemblage Alice noticed that all the women had taken off their Hats without compelling the Ushers to come down and aisle and argue with them.
 Also the Men did not walk over per- sons the moment the curtain went

 When the Children started for School little Robert insisted on going along with Susie so that he could carry her Books for her. They were eager to depart, explaining to their Mamah that they were desirous of acquiring as much Useful Knowledge as possible In order to fit themselves for the Solemn Responsibilities of After Life.
 Alice went back to inspect the Kitch- en and found the breakfast litter all cleared away and everything neat as pin. The Cook was in a polite hu- nor and said she had no Complaints to make. The Range drew beautiful first-class Meat. Also she would not care to have any Afternoon Out.
 After leaving the kitchen Alice met Marie, the maid, who showed her the fragments of Vase. h.

 Alice wished to do some shopping, but inasmuch as the weather was ir- element. she decided that 1t would not be humane to keep the clipped Horses and the Coachman waiting for her in the blustery street for an Hour at a Stretch, so she attired herself warmly, without reference to Looks, and went

 The Stage Performance was very en- tsrtaining. The acrobatic Song and Dance was received with Dead Silence, but the Quiet Love Scenes evoked Thunders of Applause.
 After 9S per cent of the Audience got tired of a Song. the six Encore Fiends with the Iron Hands would subside immediately and permit the Dialogue to be heard.
 The only unpleasant Incident of the evening occurred when beautiful Soubrine, assisted by IS Brollers, came out and did a Coon Song that could have been heard two blocks away. Everybody hissed.
 When Alice and her Friends came out fo the Theatre. they saw across the street the bright lights of Refec- tory. No one in the party suggested a Midnight Gorge.
 Alice knew 1t was customary to go over among the Palms and order six on the Half She'll about the size of Footprints; also a Bird with wreath around 1t, some of the Bubbles and q little Camembert Cheese so ripe that 1t had to be eaten with a Spoon.

 When Alice arrived at the Club Room the Annual Election was in Progress Everything was harmonious and D deep Calm pervaded the Session.
 After the Ballots had been counted, the defeated Candidate went over to the newly chosen President and con graduated her with evident Sincerity. also kissed her.
