SARAH A. MORRIS.
Mr.. Morris was a careful and a
very successful farmer and had the
confidence and esteem of all his
friends and neighbors. Few men of
this locality we're ever possessed OF
more friends than the Rev. VIM. r..
Morris. His life was a remarkably
busy one and his deeds of kindness
were almost without number. The
greater part Of his life has been spent
in this vicinity, but his name has
long been an honored one, through
out Marion aud Hardin counties.
Mr.. Morris held many offices OF
private and public trust during inter
walls of his long and useful life, but
no tarnish to his name .ever resulted
from his occupancy of any office. He
was one of those SPLENDID citizens
whom every body liked, and the en-
'irs CON nunity naturally is sad
dened by his sudden death His ex-
treme old age marked him as almost
the last of the pioneer settlers whose
efforts in days far away in the misty
past, shaped and influenced the de-
velopements Of later years.
In early life he was converted, be-
came an earnest christian and join
led the Methodist church. His grace
gifts and usefulness soon led his
class and church to recommend that
he begin license to exhort. On May
70 1862 he was duly licensed as an ex.
horter in the NJ h, church. His use
fullness warranted giving him a wild
Ter field and consequently, on June 10
1867 after due examination he was
licensed as local preacher. In 1868
The was ordained by Bishop E.
Thompson and in 1878 was ordained

The historians of Puritan descent
have had monopoly of the
histories not only of their own
antecedents but of all others who
have contributed to the develop

diverted the attention of people
from their own rrimes by magnify
ing the crimes of others. They have
made slavery a matter of color
rather than condition. Slowly but
surely the truth Is becoming
known. We believe that spurious
history Is infinitely worse than
spurious money and Congress
should take as much precaution
against the former as It has against
the latter.

Jacobs family consisted of Joseph
and "his brethren" Reuben and Ben
jamin deserve to be mentioned among
the latter.
Joseph was dreamer, which, OF
course was not crime in Itself, but
his dreams were impracticable. All
dreams are impracticable. When the
first locomotive was set in order for
the test, spectator stood by and
frequently interrupted those busily
engaged in preparing the locomotive
for work by saying you can't start
it " Finally it began to move, then
the spectator exclaimed. you can't
stop it," He was no dreamer.
There is not much difference be.
tween the dreamer and the other fell
low after all, only about twelve feet.
One lives six feet above ground and
the other six feet below.
Joseph was more than a dreamer.
He caused more or less trouble among
is somnambulistic brethren contIn-

he should be put out of the way
There are extenuating circumstances
that must be considered after all.
Joseph was his fathers pet His
brothers were jealous of him
Through the influence of Reuben
Joseph was sold rather than slain.
There was a consideration or profit
that resulted in the sale of Joseph,
but that was merely Incidental. jacob
was informed that a beast had de-
'stroyed Joseph. Thar was a falsehood

years. We are told that history re-

IT IS TO LAUGH.
You Cannot Now Be Popular Without

When the terms for singing LESSONS

Notwithstanding. But you must

What Is more, you must laugh out
loud. The days of ultra-refinement
when merriment could be properly ex'
pressed only by smirk and smile,
are happily passed. People laugh
heartily nowadays, but at the same
time they should laugh unsteady
That is, they ought to put few sill
very notes into their peals of joy, and
those who are wise enough to study
laughing do put them there. I'm.
not so well patronized as they should
be. AS yet the laughter Of most peo-

At the Turn Of the Tide.

1t was asserted by Aristotle that no
animal dies near the sea except at the
ebbing OF the tide. This idea in some
form or another has been popular for
centuries.
Such notion, | find, still exists at
Gravesend. An old salt who used to
sit by dying man in an ale house on
the shore OF the Thames told me he
noticed my patient was always worse
at the turn of the tide, and then got
better after the tide had turned. Read.
ers of Dickens cannot forget the ac-
count in David Copperfield" of Mr..
Barkis going out with the tide"
According to Aristotle and Mr.. Peg
gotty. it is at the ebbing of the tide
that death always occurs. But at
Gravesend, | am told, It does not mat.
ter whether the tide is at the ebb or
flow; it is just at the turn OF the tide
that death occurs. II have often seen
1t happen, sir" an old shrimper said

Languages Studied by Japanese.

A letter from Japan. published in
Berlin. says that the study of the
German language in Japan has fallen
of In the last few years. At the
close Of the school term of 1900 In
Toxic the department of examinations
reported that the following languages
had been studied in the schools. Eng.
fish. Chinese, German and Russian.
French, Korean and Spanish were
neglected. In 1904 the number of stu.
dents of Chinese increased 100 per
cent. and the study of English fell
off, while there was a marked in.
crease of German students.
In 1907 statistics show that the Ger.
man language has lost in favor, and 1t
has gone back to seventh place. Eng,
fish has not refrigerated, and has
30 students In the final class to 10
who study German.
Young men who are being edu.
Gated for business careers" says the
writer do not study German. but IL
is still popular for those who are
in the scientific circles.

COG SOLDIERS UNDER FACE.
3ueeessfuI Fec.nt Experiments Made
In the German Army.

The use of dogs for military pur.
roses has proved so successful in Ger.
many that the dog soldier is continu.
ally being taught new things. Near
Dresden recently there was test Of
skill which was great revelation Of
,leir Accomplishments.
Two mocpanies Of soldiers separated
a distance of mile and quarter, one
CT them, supposed to be an outpost In
the face OF an enemy, communicated
for some time by the aid of dogs
trained to go back and forth. Each
time the distance betweenthe two com.
eanies was traversed by the days in
less than two minutes, in spite of In
tense heat and great deal of con.
fusing firing.
The special object OF the use Of
these fast dogs Is to enable detach-
ments OF inform themselves Of the
speed at which the enemy is approach.
ing and SO to maintain a position up
to the last moment practicable.
On the same occasion the cartridge
dogs performed their peculiar duty.
wrich is to supply the troops with
cartridges during rapid fusillade.
Each dog wears kind of pack saddle
which carries 800 cartridges. With
this load he travels UP and down the
line of men, who help themselves to
cartridges as they have need.
AS soon as the pack saddle. is empty
the dog, at command, makes of at
full speed to get 1t replenished.
Every one has heard of the dogs Of
the "pious monks of st. Bernard"
which are supposed to have sort OF
monopoly OF the accomplishment Of
serving the wounded and helpless and
calling assistance for them. But the
German military hive dogs trained to
search out and attend the wounded
and call human assistance.
These dogs OF the ambulance corps
are trained to divided duties. Some of
them, carrying little fash OF water
or restorative, simply sit and bark or
bay near the body of a fallen man.
Others have been trained to go in
search Of assistance and guide a sol.
der Of the ambulance corps.
The trained dogs performed all
these functions very skillfully at the
recent trial near Dresden. 1t is plain
that the German army, II 1t should be
engaged in another war. would be &C.
companied by greater number OF
dogs than ever before accompanied an
army on campaign.
