Obituary.

Mrs. Mary Edith Stanforth was born
May IA, 1883 and departed this life
April 3, 1907 in the 10th year of her
age. Deceased was the daugh ter of
W. II. Swisshelm. She was united in
marriage to Harry Warner Stanforth
December 25, 1904. Of this union, one
son was born, Harold Atwood, who In
his prattling infancy understands not
the great loss that has come to him.
Deceased was a member of the M.
e. church and was a quiet, loving
christian wife and mother, winning
all with whom she came in contact.
She suffered intensely and her condi-
tion was made serious by the nervous
seock she received when inform ed of
the tragic death of the two Fenner
children, son and daughter of her
sister. She seemed to lose hope and
courage. Sad indeed is the death of
the young just entering the field of
life and work, just beginning to realize
what 1t is to live and love the chang
ing things of time and sense.
But the good and pure God comp en-
safes for evils suffered here, by bless
ings and endless existence In another
system uncreated and eternal. AS we
looked upon the face of that child
wife, so sweet, pure add restful after
life's fitful battle, we said
with the antheming throng
Thou takest thy place
With Gods light on thy face,
Thou joinest the song,
And the garments of white doth inve st thee,
Rest thee Rest thee Rest:
No tears, no woes, no night
Pure beautiful soul, thou has found thy
delight.
Enter thy rest -

The Way Judge Thacher Dodssd .
Challenge to a Duel.

Documents In the Congressional IL
braiy at Washington show that when
the establishment of the mint was
under discussion in Washington's time
there were some amusing debates In
congress concerning the devices the
coins should bear. There Is one ac-
count of squabble over the design
Tor the silver dollar.
1t appears that a member of the
house from southern state bitterly
opposed the choice of the eagle on ac-
count of its being the king of birds"
and hence neither suitable nor proper
to represent nation whose insttu-
tions and interests were wholly in
imical to monarchical forms of govern.
ment
Judge Thacher in reply had playfully
suggested that perhaps a goose might
suit the gentleman, as 1t was rather a
humble and republican bird and would
also be serviceable In other respects,
as the goslings would answer to place
upon the dimes.
This reply created considerable mer.
riment. and the irate southerner, con.
siderng the humorous rejoinder an in
suit. sent a challenge to Judge Thach-
er, who proudly declined 1t. The bear

to be gained in fighting one who fired
