Of Mrs. A. G. Taylor at Mccoy, Sun
day.
No braver battle against disease and
pain was ever fought than the struggle
Of Mrs. Taylor against her fatal
malady, cancer. Her good nature
and tenderness for others was her
strongest hold In patiently bearing
the terrible suffering OF four long
years. No expense was spared to re-
lieve her and she was the recipient Of
every attention that a devoted husband
could bestow.
Hers was useful life. Her mother
heart went out to the orphan and she
raised her dead sisters little son and
daughter to noble manhood and
womanhood loving them as her own.
The largest number of people ever
gathered in the Bethel cemetery
brought wealth Of floral offerings
as tribute Of love and respect to this
kind nelghbor and friend. The be-
reaved husband and sorrowing family
have the sincere sympathy of the
community, where, 10 their beautiful
home they passed so many happy
years.

Tragedy of Man Who Long Boasted of
 Aunt Marys Ginger Cakes"
From the Washington Herald.

From the Washington Herald.
 Jimmie G.. as 1is friends affectionate- ly call him, is a, compositor of the city who occasionally makes a visit to rela- tons who reside in Montgomery county Maryland. He never comes back to Wash ington without a Iboastful report of how well they treated him on his visit, of the goods things he had to eat and above all delights in extolling the su- preme excellence of Aunt Mary's ginger cakes.
 Some time ago whenshe was with two or three of his cronies. after he had just returned from visit to his country re- latons the ruling passion struck him and he renewed his harping about his Aunt Mary's ginger cakes, when one of his friends broke in
 That's commendable of you, Jimmie" Ke said. We fellows have listened to your laudations of Aunt Mary's ginger cakes for a long time, but somehow or other you never seem disposed to let us get a taste of them"
 "I'l Just prove what I say" said Jim mic G. "I am going up to the farm for a day or two next week and l will bring you fellows a lot of them.
 He was as good his word. He re- turned to the city with a basket full of the dainty esculents he had been for so long boasting of and gave a spread In his room, at which the ginger cakes of Aunt Marys cooking formed the piece de re- sisIance.
 ''These are the finest cookies I ever tasted Jimmie G. said one of the friends at his banquet, but there is no more ginger in them than there is in an ordinary bakers tea biscuit"
 That's where you are much mistaken"

There was . woman who used to come here regularly complaining that she had swal- lowed pin and that it was stuck in her throat, hurting her dreadfully. Week after week We assured her that we could fin. no pin, but still she came At last we determined to satisfy her, so we told her to open her mouth wide and shut Ter eyes. Then we placed a pin between pair of long forceps and ran it down her throat. After fooling around while we drew it out and declared that we had at last succeeded in extricating the troublesome pin. She got up. de- clared that she felt better, and went away. I saw her later and she declared that the pain in her throat had entire- ly disappeared

 Ever since the marriage of W. E. Co., rey to Mabelle Gilman, J. B. Corey has been receiving dozens of letters every day from every state in the union, protest ing against the marriage and extending sympathy to the members of the Corey family. Today J. B.

The more of these letters I get the more am convinced that Ellis is insane. No man in his right mind could have acted like he did I have made no attempt to reply to all the letters I have received. If did so I would be kept busy doing nothing else.
 While I do not wish to appear as sit- ting in judgment upon Ellis for his re- cent actions. said MT. Corey.

Red vaseline. two ounces. tincture of cantharides, 1s ounce: oil of lavender, 15 drops: oil of rosemary. 15 drops.
 Mix thoroughly. Apply to the eyebrows with a tiny toothbrush once a day until the growth is sufficiently stimulated. Then less often.
 This ointment may be used for eye lashes also. In this case 1t should be cery carefully applied. It will inname the eyes, as any oil will, if it gets into them.
 A tiny brush sold for that purpose should be used for the eyebrows each day. The eyebrows should never be cut. The shape would be spoiled entirely by so doing. In the case of children the eyelashes may be clipped once a month to assist their growth Only the extreme tips should be taken off.
