From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Hats off to an old superstitionl One
old prognostic, that superior and educ
ated people. thought they had laughed
out OF existence, is winning this year.
The rainy and slushy months since
January have borne witness to the
efficiency of this sign.
1t is known as the sign of the
twelve onions. Old-fashiotned country
people believe in it just as implicitly as
they do in the time honored theory of
planting things in the dark of the
moon. In the vicinity of Roslyn, L. l.,
there is one country family that ties
the eign Of the twelve onions every
Christmas. The female head of the
tamilysstakes twelve onions, laysIthem
out in a row on IA shelf and puts a
plrch of salt on top of each onion.
This is done on Christmas Day. The
onions are left for twelve days, and
then the prophesy is read. Each
onion stands for month, the first
onion for January, the second for Feb
ruary and so on. The belief is that
whenever the salt is found melted on
The top of an union the particular
month for which that union stands
will be wet month. This year, at
the end of the twelve days the Long
Island housewife found the salt melt
ed on every onion but three-those
standing tor July, October and No
vember.

Do Not bela Burden.

1t is sin to deprive oneself Of en-
joyment in life and become burden
to others through indigestion.
The backaches, headaches, distress
after eating, loss of appetite, gulping
up of undigested food, etc., are not
natural. Mona stomach tablets
used for few days before meals will
so strengthen the digestive organs
that you can eat anything you want
without fear of distress or resulting
sickness.
Hooper Drug Co. has much faith
in the merits of Mona that they sell
it under guarantee to refund til
money in case it does not cure.

IRA sssrss c,rsusy Dead.

After an illness Of only q few
days, but after a long time Of ill
health, Mrs. George Caraway
passed awsv Sunday at the st.
Rose hospital. about two D. m.
Deceased was the widow of
George Carawsy, who died here
in the fall Of 1901. Her maiden
name was Alice Hogue. She was
born near Kekoma Indiana. and
was a little past fifty years Of AGE.
In August 1885 she was married
to MIR. Caraway. and they at once
came to Kansas. taking up their
residence in this community, and
have resided here ever since, hav.
ing a 6ue farm a short distance
north of the city. D,eased is sur
yived BY four children. Leslie,
aged nineteen. George aged seven.
teen, Beatrice, aged fourteen. and
Kent, aged twelve. One child.
her first born, died while very
young. Mrs. Caraway was a con-
slstent member of the NJ. E
church, and her funeral will be
conducted from tue late home on
Tuesday afternoon at 3 p. M,
Rev. Selle officiating. 1t is with
a sincere feeling of regret that we
chronicle the passing away of this
estimable lady. 1t sometimes in
cases of this kind seems more than
hard to lay away the body which
once contained the soul of noble
woman, and when one considers
the hard work that fell to the lot
of Mrs. Caraway during the long
illness of her husband, when her
children we're all small. and the
many hard and arduous duties
we're to be performed on the farm,
it seems that now. Just as the boys
we're getting where they could
assume the burdens from their
mothers shoulders and thus lessen
her worry and troubles, that she
should be taken away. However,
for the children and friends who
are LETT to mourn her early death,
1t is not within their province to
lind fault with the doings of Him
who does all things for the best.
but it is for all to bow in humble
submission to His will, and strive
to lead a life that when they have
answered the final call, they may
be united with papa and mamma
in that glorious place where part.

sympathy.
