FOSTER CENTER

The death of Esther l. Howard,
which occurred on the nth, deserves
more than a passing notice, as by II
the community In which she lived so
many years loses one OF It's most re-
spected jnhabitants. She was the
daughter OF Gardner and Anna Lyon,
and was born in Foster October 26,
1889. Foster was the scene of nearly
all of her industrious and long-con-
tinued labor for the comfort OF her
loved ones. Her seat will be vacant
in the Sunday services and prayer cir
Gle where she was an attendant. She
will be missed in the family which she
has cheered so frequently. She was
fully prepared for the change into
which death initiates. consequently
what is our loss will be her eternal
gain. She was faithful unto death,
is the bright light that shines In the
darkness that fingers. Mrs. Howard
leaves three daughters, Mrs. Herbert
Card OF Cranberry Hollow, Mrs. Ran.

Bryant of Howard Hill; also one
brother. Adm Lyon.
The funeral services took place at
her late home at Il o'clock last Satur-

sorrowing relatives and friends the

sympathy.

STARTLING FOR THE EMPEROR.
Songbird That Will Amuse the Children
Of the Austrian Court.

carefully tied up little parcel was left at

1T was viewed with some suspicion. and
as the orders are never TO accept any
thing that has not been commanded, ii
was about to be refused says the Vienna
correspondent of the London Standard.
when a sound of song was heard from
within.
The servants made one of the chamber
!ans acquainted with the facts, and it
was decided to open the packet. Inside
was found very neat little cage, and
inside the cage Il spry young starting,
which, as soon as light and air were let
in, began to whistle n series of the most
popular airs of the season.
A letter attached to the cage begged
his majesty to accept the gift Though
the sender was aware of the strict veto
against offering presents to the Emperor
he hoped that an exception might be
made in his favor. as he had spent near
~ a year in training the bird to give a
moments Easter pleasure to his sover-
eigu.
The tone of the letter pleased his mai
csty and while he was talking to the Of
fetal who had brought it the starting be-
gan to pipe so loudly that his majesty
broke off the conversation to listen and
decided to send the bird to his grand
children ut LainZ. for their amusement,
also giving instructions to find out the
sender if possible and give him suitable
return present.

often i'll cases Of acute pneumonia be-

which life may be saved and distress,

Acute pneumonia is one of the few d.

that may directly aid " the restoration
Of normal health to a patient-and not

Funeral Range Bonanzas.

In an article on the resources of Ne

western paper says that Mount Blame.
approximately 1900 feet high and two
miles in diameter is mass of pure hor-
ak. 1t is the property of one man.
Frank M. Smith Of Oakland, owns this
mountain absolutely. and thereby con
trols the visible supply of borax in the
world The market value of this de-
post of borax where it lies is something
more than 500 ton Experts estimate
that the mountain has at least three bill
lion tons of boraX in it. At 500 a ton
the value of this mountain can be com
puted in billions. This mountain, stand
ing ut the north end of the FuneFa!
